GO DUKES!!!!!

[count2infinity]

I convinced most of the people in my company to pick Duquesne, and then I didn't thinking they'd lose.

Keep it rolling!

Dear South Carolina:

Just embrace the cocks. Nobody thinks you are Carolina, and even fewer think you are USC.

Thanks,

Early window musings:

--SEC off to a real strong start. Sankey can suck it. Probably could have left out a couple of his teams too.
--A bit of a dull window other than the Duquesne upset. Not every session can be a banger.
--Impressed with how Oregon has kept their run going. They were so up-and-down throughout the regular season and a lot of that had to do with injuries. Now that they're healthy, perhaps they've got a run in them. Next game will pit Altman against the school he spent 16 years with before going to Eugene.
--Not so impressed with Creighton. Yes, they had a pretty good 8-minute stretch at the start of the 2nd half to pull away from Akron but they got complacent and spent 6 minutes putting up 2 points. Had Akron been able to find a shooting touch, they'd have had the Jays backpedaling.

On to the evening and maybe we get some good ones. Buckle up for Gonzaga-McNeese.

Very impressive choke by Nevada. What's the fastest way to yak a big lead? Play clockball with 8:00 left and hope the time runs out. Bob Knight is spinning in his grave at that lack of coaching acumen by Alford.

Looking forward to the Creighton /Oregon battle of bigs on Saturday. Thought Kalkbrenner could have had a better day today. Dante looked like the real deal for the Ducks.

Cousinard with 40.

Only a matter of time before Oakland turns into a pumpkin. Surely.

Also 11 first half points for Colorado State? What did they catch UVa scoring virus in Dayton?

[Orlando Penguin]

That has all the makings for a Calipari meltdown -- a guy for Oakland who can just drill 3's and a defense in Kentucky who isn't bright enough to figure it out. Plus, Oakland's throwing a zone at them and I don't expect Calipari to understand how to scheme against it.

Nah, just **** them entirely. Loser school.

There were so many people picking McNeese to run past Gonzaga that I just assumed it would be a ten point victory for the Zags

Guilty, and I love the Zags and pick them every year, Except this one

21st percentile on ESPN bracket challenge. Hopefully that bodes ill for my UConn championship pick.

If nothing else, this Kentucky Oakland game is fun.

[RonnieFranchise]

Golden Grizzlies can shoot the 3….

[skullman80]

Gohlke on fire.

[RonnieFranchise]

Apart from the upset, I mostly hope Oakland wins because if UK is out, ticket prices will plummet for Saturday and I promised littlest Franchise we were going.

[RonnieFranchise]

Quit leaving UK shooters open outside damn it

[King Colby]

10 threes holy ****

[Orlando Penguin]

Oakland's propensity for clanking free throws is what will be their undoing.
