how bout they switch us off this shitty georgetown blowout back to the fucking northern iowa game hmm?

DaddyTorgo · 03-18-2010, 09:22 PM

lol right on cue

SirFozzie · 03-18-2010, 09:23 PM

Man, this has been the most exciting day 1 of thetournament I can remember

Groundhog · 03-18-2010, 09:24 PM

Looks like Pondexter picked the wrong week to quit making shots.

SirFozzie · 03-18-2010, 09:24 PM

Wow. What a LONG three that was.

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 09:24 PM

NBA Three!

SI

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 09:24 PM

fuck, what a dreadful start to the second half.

We have the scorers to get back in it but have to get some stops.

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 09:28 PM

Great shot and nice game for Northern Iowa

SI

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 09:29 PM

Goodnight, Georgetown, you're done

SI

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 09:30 PM

Washington clawing back in, too- I'd love to see that game tighten up

SI

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 09:30 PM

nice little run here to get it to single digits

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 09:30 PM

The only way this opening could have been any better is if Robert Morris had pulled off the win.

SI

mauchow · 03-18-2010, 09:31 PM

Big Least Big Least!

So far the best showing from the Big East is Marquette, but nobody is playing defense in that game (in the first half).

Swaggs · 03-18-2010, 09:31 PM

Clearly, the Big East tournament beat downs that WVU put on Georgetown and Notre Dame were so demoralizing -- neither team wanted to proceed.

Yup, would have been an incredible day then, I guess we'll have to settle for "excellent" instead.

jbergey22 · 03-18-2010, 09:32 PM

So Georgetown is getting thumped by Ohio. Who would have thought that?

Sadly enough in the battle of two evils I chose Georgetown over Ohio State. Path is already looking better for KU.

CleBrownsfan · 03-18-2010, 09:34 PM

Go Bobcats! Love seeing a MAC team getting a win like this in the tourney

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 09:34 PM

Brackets everywhere

Swaggs · 03-18-2010, 09:34 PM

Seeing Greg Anthony, in the studio and with a grey beard, makes me suddenly feel really old.

DaddyTorgo · 03-18-2010, 09:35 PM

NORTHERN IOWA!!!! ALI FAROUKMANESH!!!!! WHOOOOO!!!!!

Buccaneer · 03-18-2010, 09:35 PM

Haha. Fuck Georgetown.

Go Orange.

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 09:36 PM

We've had a couple of dud opening days the last couple of years, iirc. This year is definitely is one of the best

All we need is a huge three at the buzzer in the last session, say, San Diego State over Tennessee, and the night will be complete

SI

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 09:37 PM

It looks like someone finally woke up Washington, too! They look like the team they should be.

The intensity in this game is heading towards a great level

SI

Marmel · 03-18-2010, 09:38 PM

It's 9:37PM and Georgetown STILL sucks!

timmynausea · 03-18-2010, 09:38 PM

Even as a Big East fan, I can't help but root for some of these upsets. I guess I'm not really into the conference pride thing these days. In Marquette's case, they ran it up with several dunks at the end of the game against WVU last year, so I have no problem rooting for Washington.

RainMaker · 03-18-2010, 09:38 PM

I can't remember a seed that high manhandling an opponent. You see it sometimes with the 12 or 13's, but never a 14.

I think it's all the more reason to schedule tougher road games out of conference. Give your team a chance to play a game against a team they aren't used to seeing on the road. Michigan State does it and they rarely get upset.

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 09:44 PM

Cmon boys, keep up the intensity!!

Yeah, I have no problem rooting against Buzz Williams, JTIII, or Mick Cronin. I think those three guys are giant d-bags and have a tough time pulling for them.

As much as I dislike Pitt and Syracuse, I think Dixon and Boeheim are classy coaches, so I don't really mind seeing them do well (aside from not wanting Pitt to make a F4 or win it all).

Um... I predict a 3 point attempt by Marquette (as that is what they do and all that...)

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 10:06 PM

I'll take that ending! Man, again, this is one of the best opening days I can remember

SI

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 10:07 PM

YES!!!

Knew we were peaking at the right time this year!!

JonInMiddleGA · 03-18-2010, 10:08 PM

I finally got an upset right

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 10:10 PM

Hm... Wake/Texas. I kindof like it but I'd prefer SDSU-Tenn. And, of course, I have the KU game going on the laptop. Maybe it's time to turn on my computer, as well.

wade moore · 03-18-2010, 10:16 PM

MMOD is seriously the greatest thing ever.

As a Vols fan, I want to watch that - so I have that on my laptop. Wake/Texas on the big TV.

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 10:16 PM

Did KU move to the Big East?

muns · 03-18-2010, 10:18 PM

Well G-Town took a dump on my bracket ( I had them beating Ohio State) but these games are so good its hard to be pissed about it.

I lost 2 so far.
