Oh my, what a f'n finish ... what a fuck up by the clock operator ... and still exactly the kind of game I expected.

Good point.. Winthrop can't say they didn't have multiple chances to take control of this one.

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 04:28 PM

First Round Games between two Cartel League Members ('Bama v. Marquette, NCSU v. Cal, etc..) really don't interest me much personally..

How about that Griz/Nevada game instead?

Agreed. I really thought they'd pull it out. And that shot was improbable. I wasn't sure what to think of them had the game gone to overtime.

Young Drachma · 03-16-2006, 04:33 PM

I guess the more this is on, the more I'm starting to get that whole statistic about "lost productivity" at work.

I'm trying to tear myself away from this stuff and can't.

lol

I'm at work, but not really 'losing' productivity, if you know what I mean.

I thought the same as Jeebs here.. Location. Nevada v. BC one state over in Salt Lake City.. That's was my thought.

Looks like Montana is blowing that idea right out of the water though... And I guarantee BC is thanking the Griz for that.

LoneStarGirl · 03-16-2006, 04:45 PM

Damn, Montana is definitly breaking away, with a minute left. That is my second missed pick of the day... and its still early

Coffee Warlord · 03-16-2006, 04:45 PM

C'mon Marquette!

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 04:46 PM

Marquette down only one... Two minutes to go.

Did you see BC nearly lose to Pacific earlier? Nevada is a better team than Pacific, though they aren't showing it against Montana...:

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 04:49 PM

Hey, they just showed Jim Harbaugh.. I wonder if he drove to the game today?

Young Drachma · 03-16-2006, 04:49 PM

I didn't know Jim Harbaugh went to Marquette.

Young Drachma · 03-16-2006, 04:51 PM

grr....

cmp · 03-16-2006, 04:52 PM

I have two misses so far but still have all my Sweet 16 teams in tact. That's all that really matters in my pool.

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 04:52 PM

He didn't.. They said his sister's husband is Marquette HC Tom Crean. I believe that Harbaugh went to Michigan.

Oh..I watch it on mute.

So, I just saw him and was like "huh? They have football?"

That makes more sense.

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 04:53 PM

Griz up 10 with 19 seconds left.

DaddyTorgo · 03-16-2006, 04:53 PM

FWIW come tourney time though, BC has played probably better on the road than at home this year though, so the "almost a home game" argument doesn't hold any real water.

Young Drachma · 03-16-2006, 04:54 PM

ugh. three point shots.

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 04:56 PM

Montana Wins!!! 87-79. The infamous 12 over 5 game.

5 more to go for a National Title for the Griz!

Coffee Warlord · 03-16-2006, 04:56 PM

And Marquette goes down. Sigh.

Coffee Warlord · 03-16-2006, 04:57 PM

Down 1 sweet 16 team (Nevada). Not looking good early.

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 04:58 PM

Alabama gets to play at Pauley South on Saturday. Tide 90, Marquette 85.

The mighty Big East is now... 0-2?

miami_fan · 03-16-2006, 04:58 PM

Damn you Marquette! First loss of the day

That'd be great, just so we'd have to watch that whole state celebrate.

Because we've got nothing here. Not that we're rivals with them or anything, because we're not. Which is sorta silly. (Colorado State and BYU are Wyoming's sports rivals)

But then, Wyoming is Indian for "You silly morons, why are you making that place a state anyway?"

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 05:00 PM

They just announced the game times for this evening.. The final game of the day in San Diego (Washington v. Utah State) is scheduled to start an hour and ten minutes after the next to last game of the day.. I wonder if CBS will switch everyone over to this game later on tonight??

Or, will it be like the UCLA/Belmont game now where the vast majority of the country gets to enjoy Wheel of Fortune & Jeporady instead.. Today and tomorrow are the only two days where this tournament takes place on a weekday afternoon. Can we skip the local and CBS Evening News a couple of times?? Please!!

Wyoming is great.. I love that state.. Took a look at attending the UofW some time ago.

What are you doing out that way anyway, being from Jersey?

I like it here too, believe it or not. I just like to make fun of things from time to time...because it's sorta a shame how backwards some stuff is. But you can say that for a lot of places.

The short version I moved here almost two years ago, after I was in between colleges after I spent 4 years in the Air Force. Coming here was largely a financial decision, but its been a great choice. And honestly, after I left the Air Force, I always said that if I didn't end up leaving my old school (a DIII school, where I played tennis for a season) that I'd hopefully end up someplace that had D1 sports and so..it's sorta funny that it's here of all places, to finish up but..I'll take it.

Because being a D3 fan gets old since no one cares.

Cox is much nicer then Pauley. It's just sans the banners. They are currently looking to update Pauley right now

miami_fan · 03-16-2006, 05:21 PM

I just did a quick check of my brackets. I only have one true upset among tonight's game. Sorry I just don't trust the 'Cuse in the first round.

MrBug708 · 03-16-2006, 05:30 PM

Meh...

MrBug708 · 03-16-2006, 05:49 PM

UCLA needs to start playing within their offense

MrBug708 · 03-16-2006, 05:49 PM

*sigh*

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 05:49 PM

Belmont leading UCLA 16-10, midway through the first half.

Hang on now, this one was not supposed to be as tight as the other 2/15 game today (UT/Winthrop).

MrBug708 · 03-16-2006, 05:58 PM

It wont be...but it'sbeen painful to watch thus far

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 06:01 PM

12-0 UCLA run gives them a 24-18 lead with just over 4 minutes left in the 1st.. They may break it open soon.

I don't like Smell-mont.. Rival from UCF's old conference (the ASun).

TazFTW · 03-16-2006, 07:02 PM

I may have Gonzaga winning in my bracket but Go Xavier!

MylesKnight · 03-16-2006, 07:03 PM

What is that... Gonzaga down 33-24, under 5 to go in the 1st Half.

Xavier is not your normal #14 seed.

UCLA is destroying Belmont.

UNC-Wilmington/GW tied at the Break.. Nip and tuck all the way.

How did GW end up an f'in 9 seed anyways??? They lost 2 god-damn regular season games and were ranked in the Top 10 for most of the year!!

They're an 8 seed. But yeh, they got jobbed, especially getting sent to Greensboro to play UNCW.

Celeval · 03-16-2006, 07:39 PM

Eh... 50/50 first day, so close to a good one.

Got Montana, UW-M, and UF... missed Winthrop (damn), Pacific (damn, damn) and Marquette.

Easy Mac · 03-16-2006, 07:51 PM

Not to start a conspiracy theory, the refs are letting xavier get away with ass fucking Gonzaga, but if a zags player breathes its a foul

wade moore · 03-16-2006, 07:55 PM

Back at the computer...

Crap, GW is coming back...

Come on Dub, you guys were working them!
