Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I’m having a horrid year. The only person I’m ahead of is Ned’s progeny, and he’s what, 10? The only upside I have right now is I still have 15 of my Sweet 16 teams left, but the one missing was one of my Final Four candidates. It's a rigged system, folks!

RedEyedGhost Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Miller for Murray St has some amazing hair. Although, if he shaved his head, he could probably gain a couple inches on his vertical. It would be like wearing ankle weights all year (10 years? - to grow that), and taking them off for the NCAA tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Wow, the male announcer for the WVU-Murray St game just said Jim Valvano's still looking for somebody to hug (after WVU airballed into 2 points). No, dude, I'm pretty sure he's not. I wish WVU and Texas weren't playing in the same time slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 7 hours ago, S John said: What venue was that that didn’t have beer? Or is that an NCAA tournament rule or something? I watched the Texas Tech game but didn’t pay attention to the venue other than that it was in Dallas. Some of the Big 12 venues serve alcohol at games. Texas and West Virginia do for sure, maybe Tech does as well and that’s why the TTU fans were flustered. It's a NCAA tourney rule. Yeah, my buddy was saying that they serve alcohol at some conference tourney's too. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One, what's the point of watching a live match if you can't a few low quality, over priced beers and two, all it does is force people to get really drunk before the game. And the flask. Never forget the flask. I very clearly have a lot of experience with this from my college days. Plus it's a huge loss of revenue. Why not create a system where you can only buy 2-3 drinks per game. It wouldn't be hard if you want to spend a little money to set up an electronic system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarGalley Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I hate having to pretend I'm working while sneaking out and watching games on a TV. Texas - Nevada is going to OT and I can't be fooling anyone in the office about these frequent Friday afternoon "meetings." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedEyedGhost Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Nevada's leading scorer for the year was having a poor game scoring at 9. He's now 3-3 from 3 in OT, with an assist to his brother as well. Nevada as a team is 6-6 in OT. Texas misses Bamba (fouled out at the end of regulation).

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Oh for the love of god I'm 15/24 right now. ETA: Ha! I am now tied with Bronn though. Everything's coming up Tywin! Also, why on a message board for ASOIAF and GoT, does the spell check not know the names of main characters? Seems odd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedEyedGhost Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Terrible "out of bounds" call to give KSU the ball when it should have clearly been Creighton's. The ref was staring straight at the sideline too. That should be his last game of the tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Charleston-Auburn is really fun. ETA: Awful no-call that should have sent Charleston to the line with 3 FTs to try to tie it at the end of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingintheNorth4 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 The UMBC squad is feeling it now. We know Virginia is a great defensive team but do they have the firepower to get in it and win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 The last shot of Virginia's bench shows just how nervous they are right now. I still think they'll win, but this is getting to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 In the paranoid inferiority complex that only a true sports fan can have... I never have truly wanted Kentucky to be a number 1 seed. I always said, “Someday; a 16 will beat a 1... and I don’t want UK to be the answer to that trivia question.” I may not have to worry about that much longer...
