Could the first #1 seed be in danger of falling? Xavier up 6 with less than 10 to go...

[BarthelloSylph]

Make that big trouble, Xavier up 9 less than 3 to play

[Akiyama]

Xavier up 2 with 9 seconds to go. There goes a few brackets.

HOLY SHIT TIED GAME

[Byrd]

Xavier up 2 with 9 seconds to go. There goes a few brackets.

Or not.

[jimbo]

overtimeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Akiyama]

Best shot ever.

[BarthelloSylph]

wow

[Byrd]

Poor Xavier player who missed the free throw with ~10 seconds left in regulation is going to rue that for the rest of his life.

[BarthelloSylph]

That sucks, was hoping OSU would be shown for the fraud they are.

[Akiyama]

They did show us who they are. Their 3point shooters are clutch, lol.

[octopus]

tOSU should thank their lucky stars that Oden didn't get a flagrant foul with that shoulder tackle he did, lol

[BarthelloSylph]

Agreed - I'm suprised that wasn't called an intentional - if it was, game over.

Then again, you need breaks to win a title. There's one LUCKY break for OSU

[Tyche]

Louisville playing in Rupp = <3 <3 <3 Place is so loud.

[Mizango]

There was almost a fight yesterday at work because someone got tired of being fucked with about Duke losing lol. Shift supervisor sent him home early to cool down.


lollduke.


Man OSU got lucky as hell. I got home from work late in the 4th quarter, what a pleasant game to come home to.

[Rehont]

UNC V Michigan St. Whos gonna win it? I am pulling for my boys in blue as always :D.

Ohio State, Wisconsin are no-brainers.. Indiana, okay.. but then to take Illinois, Purdue and Michigan State blows my mind. Six teams from the Big 10.. god damn. Big 10 basketball is not Big East/ACC basketball...

The Big 10 is now 5-1 after round 1, with the one loss being #12 seed Illinois losing to the #5 seed Virginia Tech by...2. Michigan State beat 8-seeded Marquette by 12, and Purdue beat 8-seeded Arizona by 9.

When you say we aren't ACC basketball, I assume you mean that the Big Ten doesn't get it's 6-seed poster child upset in the first round.

When you actually win a Big 10/ACC challenge, come back here and say the Big 10 is a better conference. Otherwise, just go off and enjoy your football teams while they're not on probation.

Congratulations guys, Duke lost, I'm so glad everyone's happy about it. Our shittiest season in 13 years ends with a loss to a good team in a game that shouldn't have been close...but Coach K seems to think that he doesn't need a bench at all. Maynor was lights out, sometimes that's just how it happens, a player just goes to another level and singlehandly wins a game by himself. Oh well, I guess it was time for our streak of 9 straight sweet sixteens to end...we'll just have to reload and dominate next year. Enjoy moments like this...they happen once a decade.

Oh, and if you're a UNC fan and never attended the school, you're a fucking loser. It's like a non-New Yorker rooting for the yankees, it's just pathetic.

[Tyche]

Edgar Sosa is making Acie Law look pedestrian. GOGO Cards!

BTW, at the above edgar, you don't have to be a UNC fan to hate duke. 80% of the nation hates duke.

[archibaldcrane]

My only point with the Big-10 thing, is that if people are complaining that Michigan State, Illinois, and Purdue don't deserve at-large bids, and then they end up winning in the first round as bottom-half seeds, they prove that, in fact, they did deserve the bid.

None of those teams were "supposed to win" - some here didn't think they should even be in the tourney, but 2 of 3 did, and the 3rd lost to a 5 seed by 2. Challenging 9 and 12 seeds to get to the Sweet 16 as a determination of their worthiness to be in the tournament at all is a pretty high standard, no?

[Akiyama]

and Sosa misses both, then they miss both on the other end. These games are giving me a heart attack.

[Tyche]

Gah, that was a terrible terrible shot
