Ferrum Aeternum Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 11 hours ago, Ded As Ned said: How many times did you have to watch that shot today? I counted 4, but I was at the dentist with the boys during that game and only caught about half of it. Thankfully none since I just got home in time to catch the last minute, although the announcers just had to bring it up right there at the end when Vandy was inbounding the ball with less than 2 seconds left. So I thought I did well yesterday picking 13/16 and then I log into the bracket challenge and naturally I'm middle of the pack. Two perfect brackets day one! Very impressive.

Ded As Ned Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I'm fairly happy to have only missed the one pick yesterday. Today will probably not go nearly as well for me, as I have 5 lower seeds advancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one u had going to the Sweet 16 was Nevada. And, all I can say to that is, F×#$ you Jay Bilas! Why? Why, would i ever listen to Jay Bilas? Dude, I'm a Duke fan and I can't listen to him. There's no reason aside from being assessed penalty time and having to sit through a video or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greywolf2375 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I feel like the President at the end of The Fifth Element. "I have a doubt." I am honestly concerned that Duke is going to come out flat like they did a few years ago - they played up to win the ACC, their legs should be fresh but will their brains be in it. Even CBS is sort of saying it is a watchout. One thing I hadn't seen - there has been an 11-6 upset each year for the last 13 years, even more consistent than the 12-5.

sperry Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Why do the two programs from the state of Kentucky have the lamest mascots in all of college sports? Blue blood college athletic programs are known for their unique, awesome nicknames: Buckeyes, Sooners, Tar Heels, Fighting Irish, Wolverines, Jayhawks, Crimson Tide, etc. And then the state of Kentucky comes up with the "Wildcats" and the "Cardinals". Those are nicknames I'd expect for a middle school founded in 1997, not tradition rich schools with a century plus of athletic achievement.

Ded As Ned Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Really? Unique, maybe. Awesome is subjective. Original? Buckeye - Someone from Ohio Sooner - Someone from Oklahoma Tarheel - Someone from North Carolina Fighting Irish: French-Irish Catholic school Wolverines: I'd agree is a pretty awesome mascot Jayhawk: Made up fictitious bird. "Rock Chalk Jayhawk!" completely makes sense as well. Crimson Tide: Nickname that originated with the awesomeness of the football team. Tuscaloosa has no tides, 200 miles inland.

Maithanet Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 The Buckeye is just about the stupidest mascot I've ever heard. Also, New Mexico State seems feisty thus far. We'll see if they can keep it going. It helps that they are playing Baylor, who are the chokingest team in all of college sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I've got Baylor going out in Rd. 2 to SMU anyway. I don't know if it's Scott Drew or what but they don't seem to be a great team when something is on the line. They have a stellar list of wins, but most of those big ones were early season. When they reached #1 and had to defend it, WVU destroyed them, Kansas (always the team to beat if you wanna do anything in the Big 12) swept them, and then they got bounced in the first round of the Big 12 conference tournament. They've had early exits in the NCAA tourney the last couple years to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maithanet Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Is this March Madness or March Snoozefest? The Vegas favorites have won every game but one (Maryland was a slight favorite). No overtimes, no buzzer beaters and even the closest games (like most of MI-OK State) all end with an anti-climax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, 16-29 for the game, pretty routinely doing nothing on offense for 27 seconds and draining contested 3s. It was tough to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperry Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Nothing worse than watching for the first time a team you picked in the tournament, and realizing they are poorly coached and full of stupid players #setonhall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
