What do you know, the Grizzlies have actually made a run to get it back into single digits. If they could actually win this game, that would be awesome.

 

And Dama, the tourney only runs Thursday through Sunday for the first two weeks. Then the third week, they have the semifinals on Saturday and the championship on Monday.

I have everyone's that winning at this point.

 

And Dama. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday are usually NIT Games (with Quarterfinal Games spread through Thursday - Monday). Thursday - Sunday = Regional Finals.

God dammit. Work is always trying to screw me over.

Iowa thankfully makes a run, and its down to six.

 

edit: I can't wait until tomorrow. Beside my team being in it, the Syracuse bracket just looks more interesting.

The game I'm looking forward to is Utah State/Arizona. That's the biggest upset I have picked for the first round, and I really want to see it hit. If I want to watch it though, I'm probably going to have to get out of the house, because I don't think they'll be showing it here.

Yeah, I was bitching about it earlier, but I really don't mind right now, since I bet Montana to cover the spread as a 20 1/2 point underdog.

Ok, I'm up to 7/8 in the TSM pool after going 4 for 4 in the afternoon session. Cincy and BC are both great against bad teams, so those were easy picks.

 

I waffled on the Utah/UTEP game a little bit, but I finally figured that Utah didn't have enough of a tournament history to overlook their first round game, and talent-wise were just a little bit better than UTEP.

7/8 to finish the day.

 

I really thought Iowa could pull off the upset, guess not.

Or at least this half.

 

Sessions 3 and 4 are tonight.

 

Session 5 is tomorrow at Noon

Session 6 is tomorrow at 2:30

Session 7 and 8 are tomorrow night.

 

Session 9 and beyond begin Saturday.

I'm 5 out of 8 because I made some stupid picks, IE Penn over BC. I also had Iowa over Cinn. because Iowa had been doing well while Cinn wasn't.

 

Fuck.

6 of 8 right so far... missed UW Milwaukee and Pacific. I didn't have Alabama or Pitt moving to the Sweet 16, so it's only a 2 point loss so far.

 

Remaining games tonight:

 

I've got LSU (naturally), Wake, Waste Virginia, Gonzaga, Texas Tech, Arizona, Illinois, and Texas for my remaining games tonight.

sadly, I forgot to do the tsm pool but im in 4 other pools and im 7 for 8 with Pittsburgh being the ruiner of my perfection parade.

 

 

I had Utah to the elite eight so i was sweating at the end of that one, I have UW-Mil all the way to the s16.

Wake, Zaga, Illi, Tex,LSU,Zona, WVU, UCLA.

so i got Tex/Vada now.

 

I missed the games eariler due to work and relied on radio, so want to say that Im a fan of this new scoreboard thing at the top. i like all scores currently playing bein displayed at the same time.

Yeah, I'm stuck with Gonzaga, likely the least interesting contest of the evening. I'll go somewhere to watch the second half of Utah St./Arizona though. And I agree completely about the CBS scoreboard. It's extremely convenient.

are you nuts? Winthrop is a top ten in scoring and 'Zaga is a high scoring team as well. The least interesting game is clearly Wake/Chatta.

it's early but already all four games are still close. however like i said, it's early.

 

I expect wake to go on a run soon and same for Gonz. UT/Zona will be close for sometime and nev/tex likely is a nail biter.

Well, I like my gambling, and I've got Wake in a teaser, so that removes it from consideration. In Gonzaga/Winthrop, all I can do is root for a favorite to keep my Elite 8 intact. Plus I hate Gonzaga.

 

Boring.

Illinois, Nevada, Creighton, Wake Forest, LSU, Arizona, Texas Tech and Gonzaga are my picks.

 

I love that one of the Gonzaga players is named Batista. And one of the Winthrop players is named Bradshaw. It's the WM main event we never got!!

I liked how for the color jersey identification, cbs went White=Gonzaga Garrett=Winthrop.

 

Why so specific and not just red?
