NCAA Mens Basketball 2008-2009 Season + Tourny

They just left the Duke game to the UCLA game here ;o

Btw did you guys see Jeremy Pargo's dunk? wow!

[Kirin]

Fuck Clemson
Fuck Minnesota

And outside those two im 100% so far. God I hate Michigan.

[Headspace]

I really took some unnecessary risks. Fuck VCU as well.

[Ryany]

I bet VCU goes to Maynor. He hit the shot to beat Duke 2 years ago.

edit: ...and they did, but had to work too hard to get a good shot.

If Western Kentucky manages to lose this game, it would be the choke of the century.

Day 1 in Greensboro was a lot of fun. I definitely pissed off the dook fan in front of me while his team was struggling in the first half.

Some thoughts:
UNC looked great without Lawson.
AJ Abrams is incredible.
Henderthug is great - when he wants to be. But he's lazy far too often. And always a thug.
LSU-Butler was a good game.

Saturday will be tough. LSU and Texas both have great shots to knock off UNC and dook, even if Lawson plays.

I will seriously drink myself to a coma if we don't make it to the final four.

Bewyah! Not bad so far.. only missed Texas and Texas A&M. Fuckin' Villanova had me freaking out hardcore for a while.

Had American picked as my underdog sweet 16 team this year Actually I think I had them beating Duke just because, but that won't happen now ;x

I wish WKU would at least set up a better OOC schedule. It seems like they win at least the first round annually, but they're always seeded 10th or lower. That win over Louisville earlier in the year apparently didn't help out their seeding much.

Enjoy your slumber...

That American game boggled my mind....

If you've watched them play during the regular season + conference tourney, they look like a high school team. For Villanova to not destroy them was out of the question. Reynolds looked like shit.

[Dimmauk]

Duke Vs. Texas Who do I go for? I love both of those teams.

Ah damn.. the problems with losing a first round matchup are the repurcussions in your entire bracket.

My problem is I hate Duke with a passion, but I had them to win vs. Minnesota in my money bracket. So now they gotta beat Texas, and I don't think they will.

[MrW]

Texas. Abrams is a beast and Duke has a bunch of soft white guys. Fuck Duke.

[Tyche]

I don't like Duke, but they'll beat Texas. Duke has been playing very well.

[BarthelloSylph]

Texas. Abrams is a beast and Duke has a bunch of soft white guys. Fuck Duke.

I endorse this message.

[Vade]

Texas. Abrams is a beast and Duke has a bunch of soft white guys. Fuck Duke.

I hate Texas. (Not as much as Tech though). Abrams can be contained if you have a good defender on him. I don't know much about Duke, but I know I don't want them advancing.

[Diamicles]

15/16 on day 1, not bad. Day 1 usually doesn't mean crap for a bracket pool win though! Only missed butler over LSU. Looking forward to more good bball today, including Mizzou's first round game. I'd be surprised if they don't dominate.

My lookout games today: Marquette v Utah St, and Xavier v Portland St.

[Olo401]

Here we go with today's games! Syracuse jumped out quick & big on SFA, Tennessee & Okie St. are tight, Kansas & No. Dakota St. are close, and Marquette & Utah St. are both really slow to the hoop today so far.

[Olo401]

Halftime scores:
'Cuse 38, SFA 22
OK State 38, Tennessee 34
Kansas 43, ND State 34
Marquette 26, UT State 18
