The two early games kinda ‘meh’ at the moment. It’d be surprising if NMSU could push KU in the 2nd half, and it feels like only a matter of time before Sparty pulls away from Jawja. Bulldogs having an awful time trying to score after getting out to a small, early lead.

Tip time for Wyoming-UNI was ~ 10:30am local time in Seattle. Why?

I get it, tv etc. … but damn. 10:30am??

Nice job by GMC on the background music selection for their truck commercial … My opinion, of course 🙂

[VaWolf82]

Checking scores, it looks UGa won’t go away

[BJD95]

Glad I have to drive my oldest kid and ex-wife (only one of those, so technically the oldest one as well LOL) to the airport today instead of yesterday. My muthaland Pokes are letting me down so far. That’s our Sweet Sixteen matchup of destiny, too!

[wufpup76]

I liked Wyoming in that match-up as well … not looking so good atm!

UGa back in it … Sparty earned that 7-seed, pretty solid but far from spectacular or overwhelming.

[JeremyH]

i want to see Oklahoma go down.

[wufpup76]

Buffalo tied it late, but West Virginia escapes.

Revenge of the 5-seeds: 4-0 in this tournament.

[wufpup76]

Belmont has made it a game in Charlotte.

My Indiana upset pick looks like a looser. ????

Not yet … 2 point game 50 secs to play

[wufpup76]

Shockers get their coveted match-up vs. Kansas … highlight to me was seeing middle-aged Wichita fan with his goatee colored neon yellow. Yes.

UVa-Belmont 4 point game late.

[Alpha Wolf]

Belmont hung with UVA for a long time today. The Hoos are up double digits in the last minute, but the score doesn’t really reflect the quality of the game nor as well as how they played until they ran out of gas.

[JeremyH]

Alpha how well has UVA re-integrated that player with the broken wrist? (Anderson?)

[Alpha Wolf]

He had a rough start, but his play improved as the game went on today. Not sure he’ll be the hero of their next game, but should UVA get to the Sweet 16, they’ll definitely have another weapon at the ready. UVA might (big might) be getting ready for a deep run as far as the Elite 8.

[Alpha Wolf]

Meanwhile UC Irvine and Louisville are going back and forth in a 2-3 point game with 15 min left.

[Fastback68]

Valparaiso comes fighting back. Kill the turtle.

[Since74]

That center for Irvine is a freakin giant. I read that at 7’6″ he didn’t need a ladder to cut down the nets at the conference championship. He needs to be our next transfer.

[JeremyH]

thanks Alpha. UVA still had a tough bracket. yes, kill the turtle and that ugly checkered state flag : )

[Alpha Wolf]

Louisville heads to the line for a 1-and-1 tied with 8.9 left. First one good. Second one, Draino. UC Irvine TO, down two.

[wufpup76]

Tough way to lose for Irvine … wow.

[Alpha Wolf]

Louisville escapes. The Cards aren’t looking terribly strong.

The ACC is now 5-0, with several games decided by two points or less.

The good news is that Rick Pitino looks like he’s re-joined the living. The bad news is he touts the desire of ACC players, mentions UNC, Notre Dame and Louisville. I guess we are chopped liver?

[MrPlywood]

Foul or not? Looked pretty close.
