First game
Florida vs. BYU. Amazingly, Florida has the longest active NCAA Tournament winning streak. They’ve won 12 straight.

would rather be watching
Jimmer Fredette than Notre Dame. Go BYU – end Florida’s streak. I’m pretty fired up about Kansas vs Lehigh. I think it will be close :) :) :)
Lehigh's center
anybody seen that guy? he’s pretty wild…and good
Robert Morris-Villanova
Anyone else feeling upset?

i'm feeling all sorts of upsets
Lehigh will play Kansas tough.
Kentucky will have a “setback” today. Not a loss, though.
ODU will hurt ND’s confidence if they still have any after today.
Nova is in trouble. Jay Wright knows it.
ND is looking good so far

Haven't liked Villanova all year
they are essentially us minus Robbie, but they are Big East so they get a 2.

Nova
Should probably beat Rob Morris today, but they’ll be fighting for their life next game.
I am really waffling on Baylor
I picked a team for the Final Four that hasn’t won a tournament game in 60 years.

I've thought the same thing
About Sundays watching football at Kimmel’s house. Between Kimmel, Simmons, Carolla, Cousin Sal & Dameshek, who wouldn’t but a $10 ticket for charity to spend a Sunday there?
I'd pay $100 for a Vegas trip chance with them.

Nova
might tie our record of 11 points in the first half in the biggest game of the year if they don’t score like they haven’t for the last 5 minutes.
Don't dare call them on it though

They wanted
To re-create the glory of when BC beat them in ’93?
OK, so I know Endberg didn’t call that game, but I just wanted an excuse to bring it up:
Gamecast
High possesion games are way more fun to watch on gamecast than low possession games. Example, ND-ODU is WAY more boring than UF-BYU.
To be a devil's advocate
If you tab to the game and back every few minutes, you potentially miss less on a slow game.

So who else feels great
about our game tomorrow? The whole underdog role seems to fit our senior class, and I think they will step up.
not me
i’m worried they have a size/athleticism advantage that i’m not sure we can make up for with good basketball. but omg i am sooooooo excited for another 24 hrs to pass!!!!!
Their big man has weight on JJ
but we have a height advantage across the board (minus Lewjack, of course). The one thing that worries me, is they commit the least number of fouls in Div I, so we can’t count on their big man getting into foul trouble.
This is setting up nicely
Nova-Bob Morris should be on the big screen soon

Jay Wright and Matt Painter
must have gone to the same coaching clinic for end of game set plays. Ugh, that was awful.
lol Painter is not that bad at set plays
its when he stands on the sideline and yells motion in the middle of a 5 minute scoring drought that scares me.
The end of regulation
Against Oklahoma and at Ohio State last year beg to differ. There were other similar situations last year, but those two are the ones that immediately jump to mind.
In Painter’s defense, he has done a much better job in late game situations this year.
Still tied

Seriously though—anything resembling close games against high seed South teams is a good thing. It’s 1) a reminder Purdue needs to play hard and 2) a reminder the teams above aren’t indestructible. Whether or not SHU competes all game.

And my dream is still alive…Need Butler to come home to make it a sweep of the morning games.
Watching Butler on My Computer
and it is making me worried that not living in Indiana, I am gonna have to watch the majority of the Purdue game tomorrow on my laptop
I could do that
but I’m not sure which is worse for actually trying to watch a game that no one else wants to watch.
yeah I can
It’s not a big deal, I was just coming to a realization, as this is my first basketball season away after living in West Lafayette, for seven years.
After the early games
The SEC is 0-2, Big East is 1-1 (and fortunate to have that 1). Big 12 is 2-0.
and the Big Ten
will be undefeated at the end of the day (0-0)
Enjoy

Its my biggest flyer of the first round. I’m not gonna lie, a big part of the motivation for that pick was “eff the Big East.”

March Madness On Demand
NCAA.com has every game from every site streaming in hi def. I’ve had a couple of glitches today, but it sure beats watching whatever CBS gives you all day long.
Love this tourney so far. Lots of parity. Far more interesting than last year. St Mary’s getting it done for my bracket. Picked ND in first round. Had to shower after.
Sorry if this has been covered earlier. No – I don’t work for CBS or the NCAA.
Hey guys, I'm back

Biggest losing margin for a 3 seed ever?
Does anyone know about what it is? Georgetown has to be close.
UNI has a very straightforward approach
Matched up well against us, and it looks like it’s giving an up and down team like UNLV fits. I like their deliberateness, I just don’t think it will be enough to overcome KU.

Everytime I see that retarded Axe X-games commercial, I want to bash my head repeatedly against the wall.

I honestly view the south as everyone’s seed minus one. Duke’s a 2, etc.. and there no one seed.
That’s just how I see the competition in that bracket.
Then Rob Morris..
was almost a the first win for a 16?

I want Marquette to lose for the awesome Big East headlines, but I’m currently working on my best first day picks of my life. How should I be cheering?

I noticed, and I'm lucky.
I didn’t even really believe Ohio could take Georgetown. That pick was more of an “eff the Big East” pick and I thought they would lose to TN in the next round anyway.
Yeah, I made an eff Notre Dame pick of Old Dominion
I thought Notre Dame should have won easily considering they were one of the hottest teams entering the tourney
Do hot teams score 40 per game
When they aren’t from Hickory, Indiana?

Apparently I didn’t trust my gut when I transferred my picks from paper → ESPN. I put down Vandy even though I have Murray St. on my paper :( I swear it’s there…
Ouch
I’ve had that happen before. It sucks.
I wasn't consistent
I have four or five different brackets, and when I go through them, I find all sorts of little random picks that I thought I had made one way, but apparently made the decision later and didn’t go back and change it.
I picked Murray State in 4 brackets, but have Vandy winning their first 3 randomly in the 5th. No idea why.
