Roburt Sallie just unconscious....

JonInMiddleGA · 03-19-2009, 01:24 PM

It ain't getting much talk here considering the other shocker, but I have to say that the ease with which Texas A&M has handled BYU surprise me a whole lot. Of all the picks in my bracket I think I lingered over picking BYU about as little as any pick that involved a seed lower than 2.

Danny · 03-19-2009, 01:24 PM

Geez, Sallie killed us.

Great effort from Northridge. They played fearless.

RainMaker · 03-19-2009, 01:24 PM

Damn, that was a fun game though. Lot of heart from Northridge. Memphis gets exposed.

AFAIC Memphis was exposed when they only managed to beat Tennessee 54-52.

Butler is a gutsy as hell team, happy to get a win. Johnson will have to play his best game of the year for us to give us a chance against UNC.

Butter · 03-19-2009, 01:32 PM

Anybody else trying the UNI-Purdue game? I'm getting audio from a Cardinals spring training game on it.

I think you mean Radford. Johnson will have to play well to give you a chance against Radford.

Lathum · 03-19-2009, 01:34 PM

lets go Northern Iowa!!

Danny · 03-19-2009, 01:34 PM

I had Butler and BYU winning one game each in the one paid bracket I did, so lost some bracket points there.

You get too much SEC garbage where you live.

Watch out for the big 12. Mizzou, OU, and I hate to say it but KU are going to make some noise. Plus I wouldn't be surprised to see OSU and A&M scare the #1's. Texas on the other hand is a complete fraud.

Oh, I just assume a loss if we face Radford. I don't want none of those Highlanders. There can be only one!

GoldenEagle · 03-19-2009, 01:39 PM

Well, that would have messed up my bracket.

UW will play Perdue in the next round hence my interest, allthough if I flunk out of UW I guess the game is irrelavant.

i kid, I get good grades

Opening round only comes around once a year! You need to enjoy every precious minute of it!

DataKing · 03-19-2009, 01:59 PM

A&M over BYU was an easy pick for me. I'm a bit of a Big 12 homer (excluding Mizzou, of course), and A&M handled BYU last year. When in doubt, err on the side of history.

More like you need Lawson to not play. UNC struggled versus Virginia Tech without him.

I have never seen a college player better at shutting down great college guards than Garett Temple. (No one did a better job on JJ Reddick when he was at Duke, no one has done a better job on Meeks.) So I am not worried about any one guard beating us. Although it will of course be easier if Lawson doesn't play or isn't 100%.

Now post game... Hansbrough will eat us alive unless Johnson suddenly has inspiration on how to hold his ground with his matchstick frame. If Johnson plays like he played tonight, Hanbrough will get AT LEAST 15 FT attempts.

Northern Iowa making a little run here. I like it!

In my $10 bracket I am 1 for 3 and in my free yahoo bracket I am 3 for 3. I shouldn't have done my paid bracket when I was so tired.

based on your comparisons I don't think you understand at all why Lawson is important to Carolina's offense. Its a shame that he either won't play or won't be full strength to come back to this post after saturday

boberot · 03-19-2009, 03:09 PM

Well, so much for my little "mini-run" by Butler.

Went with a hunch . . . .

He is good at stopping distributors too, I am not putting down Lawson's ability, there is a reason GT has been a 4 year starter (while being horrible on offense) and was one of the best defenders in the nation as a freshman. Lawson's status just doesn't concern me that much in this game.

I would favor UNC by 10 at least either way, and its all because we shouldn't be able to stop Hanbrough in the least. He just needs to post up for 2 seconds and he will have enough positioning that anyone for UNC should be able to get him the ball easily. Of course anything is possible though.

Ohhhh, BS charge call on UNI with 30 seconds to go.

Miss St wins by playing good D and forcing a lot of questionable calls on the offensive end. (Their foul and FT distribution this year is pretty crazy last I saw.) I don't see that happening against a better team thousands of miles away from home. I am surprised by how many "experts" have picked the upset.

Karlifornia · 03-19-2009, 03:32 PM

Nothing worse than being down 4 with little time left, going for a 2 instead of a 3, and not even getting the 2.

Too bad, so sad for UNI.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-19-2009, 03:34 PM

Grr at my local CBS affiliate (who may not actually be to blame) but ... we got the first half of Maryland-Cal but have now been stuck with the UNC-Radford blowout for most of the second half.

lol wtf? That's awful. I'm sure they'll switch back soon, though.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-19-2009, 03:37 PM

Kind of a sick run even for a 1-16 matchup here, UTC trailed 17-15 with 11:14 left in the first half. It's now 63-20 UConn for a 48-3 run, Mocs have one field goal in the past 15:32.

48-3, Jon?

They don't teach the math so good down there in Georgia, do they?

Right total number of points, wrong breakdown.
