Pretty sure I jinxed them by picking two Nova guys for my Top Gun team.

What early foul trouble? They have 4 team fouls with 4 minutes left in the first. RMU has 10.

For Nova, "foul trouble" starts and ends with Reynolds. Everyone else is a part they have a replacement for.

Underdogs leading in the first half is no big deal. Happens over and over again in the first round, until the favorites decide they need to stop screwing around because the underdog actually has some talent. If an underdog is in the lead or tied with 10 minutes to play, that's when my attention is earned.

Trouble=Down early to a 15th seed. Give a 15 seed confidence and they will be in a game later. Nothing more to my statement.

I was asking about the "we" - did you go to RMU?

Nope, I was just generalizing meaning we as the people in the thread. I realized after I said it not everyone may be rooting for the underdog.

Zone is what has gotten them here though. I bet they'll make some adjustments at half, but they have really been a VERY good zone D this year. By many measures, they were top 10-15 in the country.

Yeah, but Abromaitis is a good zone busting type - a tall three point shooter. Those are very tough to defend with the zone. That said, he's 0-3 today.

They look better in it now. I actually have them winning this game. I really like how Lee plays, although he shuffles his feet way too much when he gets the ball.

Swaggs · 03-18-2010, 12:54 PM

I always root for the Big East teams in the tourney, but lord I get tired of seeing Harrangody's flops. The guy is like 10 feet tall and weighs 400 lbs, but gets knocked to the ground a dozen times a game (and actually gets calls more times than not). He's got a great game for a guy his size, but the flops get ridiculous.

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 12:54 PM

It may not be over yet for Florida, but it's getting close. BYU in danger of running away with it

SI

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 01:05 PM

I haven't completely given up on the BYU/Florida game but it's on silent on my laptop. I've switched over to Old Dominion-Notre Dame which is tied with about 3 to go.

SI

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 01:08 PM

ND had chucked up a 3 on the last 10 possessions it seems. They are begging to lose.

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 01:10 PM

This 'Nova game is starting to make me nervous. They didn't exactly finish the season on a high note

Dr. Sak · 03-18-2010, 01:11 PM

Bobby Mo is up 10

Mizzou B-ball fan · 03-18-2010, 01:11 PM

Good lord. I think we can officially consider Villanoval in trouble. 8 point lead for Robert Morris at the under 12 media timeout. Robert Morris is playing with a TON of confidence and the Villanova team has the deer in the headlights look.

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 01:12 PM

Florida has tightened it up with BYU, too. They're down 3 with about 3 to go. ODU-Notre Dame is a 3 point game with 50 seconds to go and that Nova/Robert Morris game is about to hit 10 mins left and the #2 is down 7.

SI

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 01:13 PM

Notre Dame just jacked up *another* 3 and missed. But, man, ODU cannot hit FTs. 25 seconds left, Notre Dame is probably going to jack up a 3, trying for the tie after this time out.

SI

What about up 7 with 11:05 to go?

SirFozzie · 03-18-2010, 01:15 PM

IF results hold up, there are going to be some brackets blown up. Notre Dame was a trendy pick.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-18-2010, 01:16 PM

Horrible switching here in Atlanta, cutting away from (then) tied Florida-BYU to watch ND-ODU sit through a timeout.

I guess they thought we needed proof that Dick Enberg was still alive.

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 01:16 PM

Florida has taken the lead from BYU with 2 left

ODU-Notre Dame at another commercial. Irish got a 2 and are down 1, ODU has the ball

Karlifornia · 03-18-2010, 01:16 PM

Pretty good start to the tourney so far. 3 competitive games. Go Robert Morris!

Huge NBA three for BYU!

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 01:17 PM

This Fla-BYU game has been outstanding

Coffee Warlord · 03-18-2010, 01:17 PM

Any time Notre Dame gets bounced in the first round is a good day.

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 01:18 PM

ODU drops both FTs and is up 3. One more time out- 9.6 left to go.

SI

SirFozzie · 03-18-2010, 01:19 PM

Interesting that the refs blew the call on that last ND bucket (guy touched the ball twice while hanging on the rim.).

Old Dominion up 3 with 9.6 to play..

Nova only down 3..

Dr. Sak · 03-18-2010, 01:19 PM

I think it'd be funny to see 2 Big East school get bounds in the first set of games.

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 01:20 PM

Old Dominion with the win!

Go CAA!

SI

SirFozzie · 03-18-2010, 01:21 PM

You have to know the game situation there. One rebound, yeah.. second one, you need to tip that sucker out.

sterlingice · 03-18-2010, 01:22 PM

Villanova has tightened their game up with Robert Morris a lot. 3 point game now with 7 and change to go.

Florida-BYU tied with 18 seconds left

SI

gstelmack · 03-18-2010, 01:22 PM

And wade, CW, and I pick up 11 in the Pick 5 game.

JonInMiddleGA · 03-18-2010, 01:23 PM

Good win for ODU and a good set of games, so far.

I still like 'Nova, in close games, as long as they have Reynolds.

Our first of hopefully many overtimes

Meh..as I said earlier...I am a Cougar homer...but I have no faith...the imploded at the end of the season and in the conference tourney. And they have yet to win a first round game in 7 or 8 years.

SirFozzie · 03-18-2010, 01:30 PM

Honestly.. how often does a 2 seed get outrebounded by TEN by a 15?

Mizzou B-ball fan · 03-18-2010, 01:30 PM

Geez, are we sure this game isn't being played at Robert Morris? That place is LOUD.

SirFozzie · 03-18-2010, 01:32 PM

It's in Providence.. and everyone loves the big upset, because nobody from Philly area would willingly go to Providence

Lathum · 03-18-2010, 01:32 PM

If Nova loses I blame Dicky V. it has to be a conspiracy to make things even easier for Duke.
