What channel is Harvard Vandy? Don't tell me that's the one game for the pacific coast only?

EDIT: Hahvahd's game is on TNT.

All games are on one of the 4 channels. No Pacific Coast games only.

Wichita State VCU is huge for me (besides the obvious interest in Syracuse) today...

I have VCU in my Sweet 16...

Just did it. Worked nice!

My feed on MMOD sucks in the office. Is anyone else's slow?

Click between the regular screen and gamecenter a few times. That usually improves it.



Hornung is looking real good for Colorado St.

Flawless HD quality here. Surprised how sharp it is.

Started out poor but if you have a good internet connection the feed will improve.

[CreedBratton]

Apparently that code doesn't work for Canadians cause I never got a reply. Anyone help with another code please?

[johnmd20]

Started out poor but if you have a good internet connection the feed will improve.

Indeed, it started out really not working but the picture is flawless, on a PC and on the iPad. I am all set, two TV's side by side and the laptop and the iPad. I will be surrounded by hoops for the next 12 hours. My wife is questioning her decision to marry me.

[johnmd20]

Colorado State needs to take care of the ball, turnover city right now. 16-2 to start the half, hopefully Colo St can make something of a game out of this.

[sachmoney]

Murray State's defense has been smothering. If their offense was half as effective, they'd be up by 30.

[NickEsasky]

Colorado St. falling apart.

[RedOctober3829]

My Davidson pick looking promising right now....

[Hendu's Gait]

24 for Montana is both a player and the team mascot.

[CaptainLaddie]

Cmon KState......lets keep this up!!

[Jeff Van GULLY]

MacGruder for K-State is killing it. 28 so far today.

[Hendu's Gait]

Crowder is going to be a tough match-up for Mooree State.

[johnmd20]

Thread is dead right now. Not much to say, games have been pretty boring this far.

Hopefully UNC-Asheville can keep it close for some 16-over-1 drama.

[luckysox]

If 'Cuse continues to shoot this poorly, you'll see lotsa talk in here in about 25 minutes.

[RedOctober3829]

Eddie Bidenbach can flat-out coach. Let's go UNC-A!

[ivanvamp]

If 'Cuse continues to shoot this poorly, you'll see lotsa talk in here in about 25 minutes.

How about 14 minutes later. SU down 5 to UNC-A. And playing terribly along the way. SU has earned every bit of this 5-point deficit so far.

I am........unhappy.

I blame it on no Gus.

[Domer]

This is what Ken Pomeroy posted before all the Melo drama.

This is the year a 1 loses to a 16

The crop of 16 seeds in the 2012 tournament appears to be the strongest ever. I went back through my ratings going back to 2003 and then the SRS ratings at College Basketball Reference for data before then to find the 16-seeds that were ranked the highest. These are the ten-highest ranked 16-seeds of all-time:

Year Team         Rank
2012 Lamar         102
1993 Wright St.    105
2009 E. Tenn. St.  111
2006 Oral Roberts  115
2012 Vermont       120
2012 UNC Asheville 121
1986 Montana St.   124
2008 Portland St.  127
1987 Penn          130
1985 Southern      130

Yep, 2012 has produced three of the strongest 16-seeds in the history of the tournament. Consider, too, that comparing the raw ranking of a 2012 team to teams from the ‘80s and ‘90s isn’t totally fair since there were fewer Division-I teams years ago. A ranking close to the top 100 is more impressive now with 345 teams in the mix than it was when there were 50 fewer teams.

[luckysox]

Frightening how bad the defense for SU has been. And the shooting. Like, bunches of little 7 footers that result in back rim misses. And poor foul shooting. And settling for 3's. YUCK to the whole damned half.

I hope they come out and have one of those 16-4 runs to start the next half or it's going to be great-oogly-booglies as they bow out to a 16 seed. First. Time. Ever.

[mabrowndog]

"This... is getting good."

[EastCoasterOutWest]

No way the SU team on the floor right now gets past KSU.

Triche got hosed at the end. Should have shot two shots on the double bonus, as the foul came *before* the shot clock went to zero. Very clear on that. Shouldn't have been a 3-point play, obviously, but why did they take the foul away?

[RedOctober3829]

Ken Pomeroy tweeted that UNC-A has the smallest frontcourt in Division I. With no Melo, if UNC-A can do what they are doing to SU, how the hell are they going to beat anyone else?

[mabrowndog]

BYU making a mini-run to cut the deficit to 8, but Marquette answers strong and it's back up to 14.

Jesus, the Warriors have some serious horses.

[JimD]

The David vs. Goliath story is fun (for non 'Cuse fans, anyways), but I expect the Orange is going to get their heads out of their rectums and crush UNC-A in the second half.

[Williams Head Case]

Marquette-BYU game at the YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Center dealing with excessive moisture on the floor. Currently have an engineer working on it. Not sure I like that for the UConn game there later tonight.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Forgot how terrible NCAA officiating is.

[FenwayFrenzy]

Is it just me or are UNC-Ash players getting mugged inside without foul calls?!

[Hendu's Gait]

I love the Long Beach uniforms

[johnmd20]

Dickey playing like dick. Just an awful day of shooting, really killing UNC Ash.

[Domer]

CBS just switched to Asheville-Syracuse for those cheapskates like me

[CaptainLaddie]

I have Syracuse winning just this round. I could give that up to see them lose here.

So if an upset can't happen in a game like this one, can it ever?

[Hendu's Gait]

So if an upset can't happen in a game like this one, can it ever?

if the 16 seed's leading scorer had a pulse, and everything else equal, possibly.

[Greg29fan]

make a shot Dickey, christ

[Hendu's Gait]

Dickey sucks dick
