Saint Louis making things interesting! This would destroy my bracket but I'd really like to see L'Ville go dowwwnnnn!

mauchow · 03-22-2014, 04:26 PM

SLU UP TWO!!! WAHOOO!! 13-2 to start the half. Louisville hasn't made a field goal. Jordair Jett RULES! As does his hair!

EagleFan · 03-22-2014, 04:33 PM

Go Louisville. I can't support a team that used the St. Louis foul every possession approach on Thursday, that was just brutal to watch.

mauchow · 03-22-2014, 04:50 PM

Well that one is over.. and they pushed back the start of the Tx/Mich game which of course means Badgers will start later too.. oh, why oh why!!! Oh, so the talking heads can talk.

sterlingice · 03-22-2014, 04:56 PM

These games have been so ugly and boring. Hopefully the evening games get better

bhlloy · 03-22-2014, 05:09 PM

Yaaaaaawn. Here comes the most thrilling 15 minutes in sport

cartman · 03-22-2014, 05:40 PM

If Michigan keeps making 3s at this pace, it is gonna be a long afternoon for the Longhorns.

mauchow · 03-22-2014, 05:48 PM

Oh lord they cannot miss.

EagleFan · 03-22-2014, 05:58 PM

Not a good set of games so far; hope it gets better this evening.

This is a good one for Michigan fans. I hope the Wisconsin one is identical to this one as in I hope Wisconsin is winning by 20 at half....I'm getting extremely nervous. I LOVE THE MADNESS!!

sterlingice · 03-22-2014, 06:03 PM

At least this one isn't ugly except for Texas's shooting

Come on SI, this is your thread, make these games better!

PilotMan · 03-22-2014, 06:59 PM

smh, that was a rough last few minutes.

sterlingice · 03-22-2014, 07:10 PM

Thankfully both games are fun right now

SI

cartman · 03-22-2014, 07:34 PM

Texas almost made a game out of it, getting the Michigan lead down to 8, but then the Wolverines shut the door with a nice run.

NobodyHere · 03-22-2014, 07:38 PM

Yay Michigan!

PilotMan · 03-22-2014, 07:44 PM

We need to catch a break.

PilotMan · 03-22-2014, 08:05 PM

Thane has 30 of 55 points. Unreal. He won't miss.

sterlingice · 03-22-2014, 08:39 PM

Thames just couldn't be stopped

mauchow · 03-22-2014, 08:53 PM

Play your game, Traevon Jackson, don't try taking over.. that's not you, you're not good enough to do so. Quit it with your lazy ass passes and help yourself a little bit on defense, too.

Let's close this thing up before half time and be within a point or two or the lead. k thx

mauchow · 03-22-2014, 09:05 PM

What a fuckin meltdown... Oregon can't miss shit(5-8 on 3s, 15-16 free throws). Fuck.

sterlingice · 03-22-2014, 09:07 PM

Dayton-Syracuse has been really fun for the last few minutes, even being low scoring

SI

sterlingice · 03-22-2014, 09:17 PM

We've finally had a game befitting today's stature

SI

sterlingice · 03-22-2014, 09:26 PM

sterlingice · 03-22-2014, 09:27 PM

Now THAT was a game

SI

Matthean · 03-22-2014, 09:32 PM

I'm rather happy Duke got beat. A Mercer/Tenn matchup seems a lot nicer for Michigan. If Michigan makes the Elite 8, they are playing with house money at that point.

I didn't fill out a bracket, but I had Syracuse in the Final Four. I wasn't that sold on Florida, but I'm getting there.

Young Drachma · 03-22-2014, 09:33 PM

Good on Dayton..refs kept Syracuse in it at the end there, but...they managed to get it done.

I think it was just a lot of whistle swallowing. We've seen a ton of rough and tumble today with the old "let em play" after the crazy whistle calls yesterday

I thought the refs did a very good job in that game. Called what needed to be called and let the game go otherwise. Felt Dayton had a great game plan in the first half, grinded it out in the second half, and got a win they deserved.

I commented about that on the Kansas sbnation blog. I thought the officiating was good in the Syracuse-Dayton game. I think it's been pretty good in what I've seen of Wisconsin-Oregon.

Both my son and I are very happy that OSU lost. We would hate to think of the chance of SU losing to OSU.

Now I'm happy!

EagleFan · 03-22-2014, 09:54 PM

Okay, there was a play earlier in the Syracuse/Dayton game with a player being given a flagrant foul. What was I missing? It's not like he extended his elbow, the defender was basically on top of him, what else was he supposed to do at that point?

Dumb rule but called correctly.

mauchow · 03-22-2014, 10:00 PM

Stay out of a drought now Wisconsin. .. get a bcucket underneath coming out of timeout. K thx

That was a pretty bs foul call there after the murdering they've been letting them get away with in the game

Holy smokes I see Harvard has come back within 2.

PilotMan · 03-22-2014, 10:24 PM

God this wouldn't even be a game if the FT difference wasn't so extreme.

Dutch · 03-22-2014, 10:26 PM

If Badgers make their normal % it's a different game. But I don't think Oregon is getting too many free throws, really..
