Looks like BC has lucked this out... awful performance, though. BC is not a team that can rely on outside shooting to win games.

Turncoats? And you people get mad at me when I do it for the conference.

What does one have to do with the other?

 

Because you're hating on them for leaving the Big East.

Looks like BC pulled their heads out of their asses. I think this scare will get them to the Elite 8 or beyond because now they know no one is fucking around.

Yeah. So is pretty much every other fan of a Big East school. How is it the same as cheering for a hated rival just because they're in the same conference as your team?

How do you think I feel? I have BC in my damn Final 4! Thus I am put in the bizarre position of needing BC to win for my bracket and yet I really don't like BC (I think they are thugs quite honestly) and wanted Pacific to win.

 

Not sure what I was thinking taking Seton Hall, cause they got the shit kicked out of them earlier by Wichita St. Ah well, at least I could rely on OU to fuck up, but then I think everyone with a lick of sense had UWM in that game.

I don't know anyone who -didn't- have UWM to beat Oklahoma, everyone knows the Big 12 is weak this year, and UWM is a good team.

 

 

I, unfortunately, picked Seton Hall...bad move on my part, Wichita State is pretty good.

 

The weird thing, is I may have done a bracket...but in almost EVERY game, I'm just going to root for my favorite team to win (Or the underdog if I don't like either team much)

 

 

I don't much care about my bracket, I like to see low seeds win over high seeds, and I want to see my favorite team do well :)

You're not in enough office pools then. :P

 

170 of 213 in my main one took OU. Lolz.

Sheesh. I guess i don't talk to many people about basketball, who don't KNOW anything at all. I made a mistake with Seton Hall though, I really thought they were better. I also picked Tennessee, yet i'm -rooting- for Winthrop...

(shows how much I care about my bracket)

 

 

I did my mothers for her, and made her pick UWM, so she might be the only one at her work (She's a nurse) with that pick :)

I also picked Montana at the last minute, I had Nevada but then decided to pick against them.

Nevada is too strong inside to lose to Montana. They may be down early, but they'll wear Montana down on the interior. I can guarentee they win this game by 15 points by the end...

I got Nevada-Montana on TV, and the other 3 I'm watching online. Abusing the system. And giving my computer a workout.

I concur. And Montana should not be a 12 seed.

 

Meanwhile, Bama is dominating Marquette on the boards. Nothing about this game interests me. And it's a 50% pick in all my pools.

I will be doing this when I get home, for sure :)

 

Nevada has Shawn Kemp playing for them?!?!

 

Who's this kemp kid they have, is he related. That immediately changes my outlook for this game :P

Marcellus Kemp. He's quite a good player, as well. Saved Nevada in the Big West final.

 

I need Tennessee to win this. Winthrop was the silly upset pick too many people were taking. I'm confident they still will... have too much of an advantage inside.

The thing is, Winthrop is BETTER than a 15 seed, they're like a 13, and tennessee is like a 5 seed... so it's not that outlandish to pick them (I didn't...but i don't doubt for a second they can and probably WILL win)

 

 

DAMN that big guy on Winthrop looks good. Outside shot and athletic.

I'm glad to see Montana doing well, but it looks like Alabama might fuck up my bets today. I've got Marquette in two parlays and a teaser in addition to a straight bet.

I want Winthrop to win for 4 reasons, I liked their swagger during Selection Sunday, I hate the SEC, I really hate Tennessee, and no one wants to see Bruce Pearl sweating.

I also wouldn't mind not seeing Bruce Pearl anymore. He scares me. And he looks like yucky porn star Herschel Savage.

Yeah, Winthrop was awesome in the selection show. I'm in the same situation of having Wichita State in the sweet 16 anyway, so go Throppers. I'm happy to have picked Alabama and hope they can keep up this monster rebounding. Felt that Marquette was a bit overseeded, and that this match-up looked more like an 8/9.

Because you hate them for basically betraying your conference although they aren't your favorite team so it shouldn't matter anyway.

Meanwhile I'm cheering for a team that's not my favorite to make the conference look good.

That's how it's the same.

 

Damn I'm at work and can't get the On Demand thing to work so I'm stuck just looking at scores off of ESPN.

I got to work and this guy I work with who claims to be a huge OU fan sat down and I go

"Man OU sucks."

and he goes "They should easily beat UWM tomorrow."

I kind of laughed and went "Nah they'll lose dude. By like 8 points."

"Dammit you're just a hater. UWM can't handle Taj Gray and Kevin Bookout!"

"So you're really waiting for that game tomorrow morning aren't you?"

"Yeah and I'm going to laugh when OU wins. They're going to the Sweet 16."

"No they're not. The game was this morning."

"No it wasn't."

"Yes it fucking was. It's thursday and OU lost 82-74."

"Just a second!"

*checks ESPN*

"Son of a bitch! I thought it was Wednesday for some reason!"
