Thursday Games

[waggy]

The 2 first games, Clemson/WVU and ODU/Butler, should both be good ones.

[xavierj]

The 2 first games, Clemson/WVU and ODU/Butler, should both be good ones.

I like Clemson and Butler. Clemson playing really well as is Butler and Butler always seems to find a way.

[QueensbridgeMF]

I think this is the first time since college, 11 years ago that I will be off work thur/fri for the first 2 days of the tourny, I can't wait for this 4 days of bball. Those are always fun days at work following/watching games but it will be great to be at home with the clicker

[QueensbridgeMF]

I got ODU and the Hated Moutaineers in those first two

[paulxu]

Although my bracket will start off in the hole, it will be sweet justice if Huggins gets beat by Clemson in the opening game. They are currently down 16 to 8.

[XULucho27]

I would just like to say that AT&T's Uverse multi-view is probably the greatest creation in the history of man-kind. I get to watch one game on a main screen and 3 games on smaller screens that can be switched to immediately should I grow weary of the matchup or in case of a time out. I am one happy SOB. :D :D

[Cincypunk.org]

Will WVU be the first scary Big East team knocked out of the tourney?

Let's hope so.

[QueensbridgeMF]

big close to the half by WVU, new ball game to start the 2nd. I fear Clemson will wear down in the end

[waggy]

Clemson has a top 10 defensive efficiency rank, but WVU started scoring pretty easily about half way through the 1st.

[spazzrico]

I was listening to Clemson's radio team coming back from work....they were talking about Huggins. Something about his scowl for 39 minutes every game, and his jump suit. "It's just not a good look".

[LutherRackleyRulez]

his jump suit. "It's just not a good look".

the jump suit

is scotchgarded

to prevent Scotch (pre & post) stains!!!

[QueensbridgeMF]

Temple getting spanked early

[pizza delivery]

Dunphy is 1-12 in tourney.

[Cincypunk.org]

I really dislike Matt Howard.

[pizza delivery]

Temple needs intensity.

[pizza delivery]

O-d-u!
O-d-u!
O-d-u!
O-d-u!

[pizza delivery]

I really dislike Matt Howard.

Bury your head.

[pizza delivery]

Sick of Butler.

[drudy23]

Crap

[pizza delivery]

Temple taking the lead, on to the next game. F Butler.

[Cincypunk.org]

Bury your head.

F that.

I about stroked out. I really dont like that whiner.

[paulxu]

I had Judy from accounting fill out my bracket. She had ODU beating Butler.
I may have to have our books audited now.
Someone told me she was suppose to be good.

[QueensbridgeMF]

I usually love the buzzer beaters but that sucked. Hope Morehead can pull this off

[X-Fan]

I usually love the buzzer beaters but that sucked. Hope Morehead can pull this off

That's what she said!

Pitino vs. Morehead...you think he'd love that match-up!

Ah Thank you!

[muskiefan82]

That's what she said!

Pitino vs. Morehead...you think he'd love that match-up!

Ah Thank you!

For the first 15 seconds. After that he's worn out.

[STL_XUfan]

After further Review of the clock the refs have decided that the game was over and ODU wins.

[XULucho27]

Ok, chicks wearing the "I <3 Morehead" t-shirts is awesome. Great school name.

[xavierdude]

HOLY CRAP! what a shot

[Kahns Krazy]

Did I hear an "Onions!"?

Are you telling me Morehead wouldn't win the big east?

[pizza delivery]

There goes my bracket. Had Lville in the FINALS!

[Kahns Krazy]

Suck it Big East.

[GuyFawkes38]

wow, great break for Richmond if they can pull off a victory.

[coasterville95]

Doesn;t it just stink when your bracket is hosed, and its not even the end of the first day?

I remember one year, I thought my bracket was shot, till I realized most of the people in the pool made the same non-winning picks I did. Wasn't that last year that happened, one of the #1's went out early or something?

[Emp]

Had Morehead in my brackets.

Also had Old D, though.

Ive got Zags and UCLA later today. Its Upset Thursday.

[paulxu]

Morehead? WTf?

BTW, did Butler bring their clock from home?

[paulxu]

Thank you Temple.

[awayfan]

what a shot from Fernandez

[xavierdude]

Amazing shot....that guy is a killer

[Cincypunk.org]

TEMPLE!

Fernandez got himself in a sticky spot. Cant believe he made that shot!

[Kahns Krazy]

I think there's a thread for how today's games impact your brackets in the "Who Gives a Sh*t" Forum.

Clutch shot from Fernandez. A-10 is 1-0. Big East is 1-1.

[muskiefan82]

Totally stoked that Morehead got the benefit of the no call and that Temple managed to get a fantastic shot from Fernandez after that Crawfordesque three from Penn St.

[GuyFawkes38]

For some reason I've always found Temple to be a likable school.

Great win. I'm thrilled for Dunphy.

[QueensbridgeMF]

I had Iowa St in the final game of my bracket when they lost to 15 Hampton and was still extatic, had Cuse winning it when they lost to Vermont and was elated. I fill out a bracket every year but I don't root for it as much as I root for upssets, underdogs, teams I like or against teams I dislike.

[Blueblob4life]

Looks like Rick Pitino had his 15 seconds in the tournament and disappointed again.......
I shouldn't be saying that because I'm a grad student at U of L......

[blobfan]

I didn't realize how much of a Temple fan I am until I spent the last few minutes of the game bouncing in my chair waiting for the browser to refresh and give me the score. It totally lifted my mood. I hope Richmond puts up a good fight.

Go A-10!!

[muskiefan82]

March Madness on Demand. Best invention ever!!

[drudy23]

Upsets trump brackets...tourney rules.

[redsfan33]

Luckily I called that Morehead win. In my pool of 147 people, only me and one other person had Morehead winning. A couple Big Least lovers had Lville going all the way.

[coasterville95]

Morehead State won, really, are you kidding me?

I had Loserville in my Sweet 16. YEEEEOWWWCCCCHHHH.

I did have Temple over Penn St. But no further than that.

I just put up ESPN - look at the score of the UK/Princeton game, 3 point diff midway through the second, wasn't that supposed to be a blowout. That could do further serious damage to my sheet.

1 and 2 point victories, that's why they call it March Madness, best time of the sporting year.

3/4 games so far 2 points or less. As I type UK is only up 1 on Princeton, Put Cats Pause on suicide watch!

[Blueblob4life]

Everyone I know who has no idea about Xavier and sips on the Big East Kool Aid is picking Marquette without any reservation. If nothing else, today's Louisville game should prove why that's a poor life choice.

I love the Madness

[XUglow]

This tournament is kind of fun. I wonder if anyone else knows about it.

[Kahns Krazy]

Seriously fellas, I care as much about your bracket as I do about your fantasy football team.

There's an XH bracket challenge. If you're not in it, you can't talk about your bracket any more than you can about that hole-in-one you had the day you were playing by yourself.

[Kahns Krazy]

There have been some amazing shots in the last 10 seconds of games today. I don't know why I'm at my desk. I'm not doing any work at all.

[Xpectations]

Hmmm ... Pitino seems to finish everything prematurely these days.

I think I saw something running down his leg as he left the court.

See ya, Slick Rick.

[Muskie]

I'm tuned into richmond vandy. Good game so far.

My first time seeing sdsu play all season. In college I would have caught some of their games late nite.

I dislike being an adult.

[QueensbridgeMF]

Spiders make a run, when was the last time the A10 won two games the same day in the tourny? We might feel the weight to make it 3-0 tomorrow

[paulxu]

I think Wofford may give the Jimmer something to chew on tonight. Besides, Wofford is in my town, so I sort of have to pull for them. And Mark Prosser is an assistant coach for them.

And Brad Loesing is a former Bomber of St. X.

[paulxu]

This has been a great day for basketball.
I've missed two games in my bracket....by a total of 3 points.

But...BCS is losing to little guys....3 to 2...at this point! Excellent.

[GuyFawkes38]

My bracket is doing well. Picked Richmond. Didn't have Louisville going far.

[Blueblob4life]

Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley just called the Big East overrated on TNT.

Boom, roasted

[xsteve1]

If they were at ESPN they would've be fired by the end of the night for those comments.

[Blueblob4life]

Bilas and Digger would have dropped all sorts of bad words on them before kicking them off stage and maybe starting a fight lol.

[paulxu]

Bilas had Syracuse advancing. Hell, he may have even had us losing to Marquette.
He can still bite me.

[JimmyTwoTimes37]

UC Santa barbara has a guy from Hungary who's 7'3"

[waggy]

Wofford and Belmont both getting screwed by the refs.

[paulxu]

These CBS guys love them some Jimmer. I wish Wofford could have pissed them off.

[waggy]

Blow 'em out Zags.

[Retire33]

Look like Mich. St.'s string of Sweet 16s is headed for the scrap heap

[Xavgrad08]

Tom Izzo is telling himself, atleast I am not Coaching the Cavaliers.

[waggy]

Hope you're right, but MSU has done some amazing things in the tourney.

[Retire33]

Understatement of the evening

[Retire33]

Bobo looks so uninterested to be in DC and watch UC play.

He is on UC side of press row if you missed it

[blobfan]

These CBS guys love them some Jimmer. I wish Wofford could have pissed them off.
That's an understatement. They were ready to lick the screen when the kid got off the bus at the arena. It was like a NAMBLA conference, or chicken hawk night at the local gay bar.

Blow 'em out Zags.
I'm looking forward to watching another Big East team go down. Too bad Missouri doesn't seem up to that challenge, too.

[waggy]

Payne STUFFED. Honeycutt for 3.

[waggy]

Gonzaga looks amazing.

[Xman95]

Too bad Missouri doesn't seem up to that challenge, too.

Missouri looks bad. Honestly, they look like a team that has no business being in this tournament. Dayton might even be better!

[awayfan]

wow Michigan State is on the line with 42.2 left down four

[xavierj]

Gonzaga looks amazing.

And St. John's looks like a team that lost to Fordham and Olean Welding.

[Xman95]

Could A.Payne have had a worse first game in the NCAA Tourney? 0 pts, 4 fouls. Wow. Hey, it could have been worse. He could have gone to Dayton and not made the tourney.

[Xman95]

There are some bad teams in this tournament.

[KabeX]

Now we need to be the ONLY team to reach the S16 in the last 4 years running.

[Xman95]

And St. John's looks like a team that lost to Fordham and Olean Welding.

But they beat so many great teams in the Big East, a conference so good that it makes the NBA look like a league for the blind and handicapped. :rolleyes:

[xsteve1]

Could A.Payne have had a worse first game in the NCAA Tourney? 0 pts, 4 fouls. Wow. Hey, it could have been worse. He could have gone to Dayton and not made the tourney.

He'll probably transfer back to UD. How was that kid a 5 star player?

[xsteve1]

Utah St. pisses down their leg in the tourney again. Their league must really blow.

[waggy]

Just flipped over to the Utah St. game and they cut it to 6. Enough time.

[Xman95]

After Jacob Pullen leads KSt to victory, he's heading back to Amish Country to raise a barn. Best beard in college hoops.

Damn you're right. I wonder if he drives a powder blue VW Fastback. OK now I'm really showing my age.

[Xman95]

He doesn't drive a motor vehicle. His people travel by horse and buggy.

Being a college bball star, Pullen does get some perks. His cousin Hezekiah is actually his chauffeur. Here's a pic of Hezekiah in his spare time:

And, of course, does not engage in pre-marital relations. Guess he would've been just fine at BYU.

[gladdenguy]

Gaaawwwwd. UC wins easy. If we lose tomorrow I'm done with this tourney and I will be praying for UConn to dispose of them. This sucks.

[Xman95]

Or Dayton in December. Melons don't grow in the winter.

Rest easy my friend. We have iron clad, carbon fiber, galvanized, triple steel plated Tu Testicles on our side. Tomorrow we RIDE!

[Xman95]

From what I have seen, Sam Ryan is an awful sideline reporter. And she's not even hot enough to make up for it.

Gonzaga was awesome tonight. Unless Jimmer is absolutely in the zone, the Zags might just trounce BYU. I didn't realize how much size Gonzaga has.

And, of course, does not engage in pre-marital relations. Guess he would've been just fine at BYU.

But he likes to drink tea and dance...so BYU is out. Britain might be his best fit.



Sorry for the odd joinder of these two unrelated posts. The Vicar just, well, wanted to do something unusual tonight.

Go X!

[ballyhoohoo]

I always knew moore head would get Pitino in trouble
