Time to hit free throws.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Damn, that Harvard guard looks like Darren Sproles out there.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Seeing Harvard advance two years in a row would be very interesting.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Game.  Wow.  What the fuck was that shot?

 

[mabrowndog]

Wow. Sanders, you stupid shithead. Nice shot!!

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Panic much Cincy?

 

[The Napkin]

What a terrible shot by Cincy. lol

Whoever asked about the scores of other games. There's a button you can click on the lower right corners. It's on the toolbar.

Prepare to be interested.

 

[CSteinhardt]

I love the off-balance two down 6, too.

Got it now.
 
Thanks.

 

[Corsi]

Good for Harvard

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

1-3 in the first 4 games.  Thankfully, only losing one and done teams so far.

 

[bankshot1]

Nice going Crimson

 

[CaptainLaddie]

In my pool with 891 entries, there are 61 perfect entries right now.

 

[Luis Taint]

There is no chance "Draft Day" is good right?

 

[hunter05]

The Draft Day trailer looks like some sort of parody. I start laughing when it comes on. There is no way that thing isn't horrible.

 

[Jeff Van GULLY]

Albany hanging tough so far.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

These Albany uniforms tho

 

[beezer]

What a great game by Harvard.  Good matchup for them, but I was most impressed with the fact that they never got scared.  There were a few times following 3 straight TOs that they were on the ropes, but someone always came through.  Great win for the program, now they just need to make sure they don't lose Amaker to BC

 

[mabrowndog]

These Albany uniforms tho

 

 

[mabrowndog]

Horrible shot by Hooley. Had no chance, and there was no need to rush it.

 

[mabrowndog]

Albany playing like they're desperate to avoid a blowout. Jesus, take your fucking time and take smart shots.

 What is the percent of perfect brackets on ESPN now? I couldn't find it on the site, maybe because I didn't fill out a bracket.

I'm 5/5, and I only have one more upset left today, #10 Arizona State at 9:40PM.

According to Twitter, 5.7%

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

BYU finally heating up, down by three with momentum.

 

[ForceAtHome]

BYU making a run! I need them to take Warren Buffet's money.

 

[mabrowndog]

Albany hasn't scored since 4:47 remaining.

 

[mabrowndog]

Donovan is going to use a rusty table saw blade to rip his kids a thousand new assholes in the locker room.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

BYU making a run! I need them to take Warren Buffet's money.

Blech, they've been way overmatched in the paint.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Delaware looking feisty.

 

[luckysox]

It's a mirage...I think they are running on adrenaline and it will change after this break. They just don't have the horses.

 

[johnmd20]

Man, BYU fell completely off a cliff. Bleh.
 
edit - not that I'm rooting or BYU, was just hoping for a moderately close game. 

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Oregon looks good.  I find it interesting that when they are in their normal half court set, with a guy at the top and two guys on the wing, all outside the three point line, they almost never dribble the ball.  They just pass it around the offensive zone until someone opens up flashing.  They look much more disciplined than I would have expected out of an up tempo team.

 

[mabrowndog]

Blech, they've been way overmatched in the paint.

 
BYU ranked 6th in the nation in rebounding this season (41.2) while the Ducks were 204th (34.3).
 
Today? The Ducks have a 37-28 margin. Go figure.

BYU plays in the WCC.

 

[koufax32]

19 minutes left and 28 points. I'll call it now that Albany will have 50 points or less at the end.

 

[wibi]

BYU lost their second leading scorer in the WCC Championship game.  They were not getting out of the first round without him

 

[ForceAtHome]

BYU sucks.

 

[mabrowndog]

BYU plays in the WCC.

 
Yes, I'm aware of the disparity in competition levels and how meaningless "national" stats are. Just having some fun with the dichotomy of the numbers.

 

[Infield Infidel]

please tell me these Albany unis have pockets. 

 

[mabrowndog]

BYU lost their second leading scorer in the WCC Championship game.  They were not getting out of the first round without him

 
And their leading rebounder.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Delaware is 3-5 from deep
2-10 from inside the arc.

 

[mabrowndog]

Albany with their first FG in seven and a half minutes. Still down just 4.

 

[tims4wins]

This can't happen... can it?

 

[canderson]

This can't happen... can it?

No.
 
Edit: But it's fun to watch a top seed struggle.

 

[mabrowndog]

HUGE three by Hooley. Albany back within 1. And now a foul and a chance to retake the lead at the line.

 

[The Filthy One]

This is what makes this the best sporting event. I picked Florida to win it, and I'm still whole-heartedly rooting for Albany.
