[Ale Xander]

Steve Lappas voice and intonations drive me nuts, I'm checking out until 12:40 Kennessaw

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-basketball!



Edit: trying to get good vibes today after my 7-10 record for yesterday's games.

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Pitt/Iowa State (Big XII), Providence/Kentucky (Calipari to Texas?), and Arizona State/TCU (Big XII) will probably have my full attention once I get home after school lets out. Otherwise am going to flip to what is close - too many blowouts in the first round have me searching for the close ones.

 

[canderson]

Kent State v Indian intrigued me. And CDC ain’t hiring Calipari.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

The Kennesaw State-Xavier game is good. The Owls have an upset on their mind.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Yeah, Xavier looks gettable

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

It's St Patrick's Day on a Friday during the first round of the NCAA tourney. Is this the greatest day of the year?

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

They should review that play not for a violent act but for revocation of that USC player's acting card. What a dive.

 

[BaseballJones]

Gotta say....I really do not like this bright orange ball they've been using the past two NCAA tournaments. Minor gripe I know but still. Don't like it.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Because it's the only thing Orange that made it into the tournament?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Kennesaw seems determined to kill off all remaining brackets.

 

[Kliq]

It's very funny that MSU has their own Hauser.

 

[loshjott]

Xavier is playing some dumb basketball to close out the half.

 

[BaseballJones]

Because it's the only thing Orange that made it into the tournament?

Wrong color orange!

 

[Ale Xander]

Eye-an and Spanarkel have been great as always

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

It's very funny that MSU has their own Hauser.

Earlier the announcers said his parents drove 12 hours yesterday between his brother's game in Minnesota to Columbus for this game.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

KSU has 6 players from the Atlanta metro area and 2 more from other parts of the state on their roster.

 

[ifmanis5]

Gauchos making shots.

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

If Xavier blows this game Texas has a pretty clear shot to the FF.

 

[bosox188]

I know you're speaking relatively, but I'd argue nobody has a clear shot to the Final Four. This whole season was chaos and the seeds are practically meaningless. I'm basically afraid of everybody.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Anything can happen, but Alabama's path was made much easier yesterday.

 

[wiffleballhero]

I know there is a UVM contingent on the board. LFG! Shock the world
(or at least Charles Barkley)

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

No love for Penn St.?

 

[canderson]

Kennesaw State is toast unfortunately I think.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Kennesaw State offense has gone full Celtics.

 

[AB in DC]

0-15 run after being up by 13. Nine straight possessions with zero points (and I think X scored on eight of those nine)

 

[canderson]

My kingdom for Baylor to lose.

 

[jayhoz]

What the Xavier players yelling at each other about? I have the sound off.

 

[Ale Xander]

Is Kunkel related to Grayson Allen?

 

[canderson]

They made a shot!

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Wow. Huge 3

 

[Ale Xander]

Please score Kennesaw

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

What a play and what a miss

 

[Ale Xander]

Just horrible

 

[canderson]

Dude missed a layup wow - too bad Kennesaw is just totally offensively inept right now.

 

[Ale Xander]

Shereefs Bro with the sarcastic clap

 

[johnmd20]

Call the walk.

 

[Ale Xander]

Here we go

 

[loshjott]

Buzzer beater time.

 

[Mooch]

C’mon KSU. This would be a HUGE win for that program.

 

[BaseballJones]

Ok we have a minute here during the time out. Quick poll: Does Kennesaw pull this out or not?

I say yes.

 

[canderson]

One shot for glory. Can they make it?

 

[Ale Xander]

Fuck fuck fuck

 

[canderson]

He had a great shot at the deflection and just froze and turned it over. Damn it. Last 10 minutes just brutal to watch.

 

[Mooch]

Officials missed at least two clear fouls there. On the drive and the first chance at the rebound.

 

[Ale Xander]

3 on Xavier hacked KS

in spite of what Gene says

 

[Ferm Sheller]

"That's a good timeout." LOL.

 

[Ale Xander]

JFC

 

[Diamond Don Aase]

3 on Xavier hacked KS

in spite of what Gene says

Gene is full of shit, as usual.
