Mr Beef did you pick any upsets?

 

[zioxide]

Xavier has taken and missed 3 threes in like their last 5 posessions.. take it to the ****ing hoop!

edit: and now they hit one. tie game!

 

[MacNut]

49 52-49 Xavier.

 

[zioxide]

Great game so far.. definitely could go either way in the last 1:20 here.

edit; Well that's pretty much it. Xavier wins. Definitely a great game.

Mr Beef did you pick any upsets?

Lets see, not many..
I went with the higher seed in all first, second, and third round games and Texas over Memphis to go to the FF.
MY final four UNC over Kansas and UCLA over Texas.
I really have no big upsets on the bracket, which means I will do very poorly.

UNC over UCLA 72-69

 

[zioxide]

Kent State is getting **** on.

31-10 at the half. Tied for the fewest points scored in a half in tournament history.

 

[zioxide]

Lots of blowouts so far today. Only close games have been Xavier-Georgia and Marquette-Kentucky.

updates:

#6 Marquette wins over #11 Kentucky
#8 UNLV wins over #9 Kent State

 

[MacNut]

Win for Marquette. So far so good.

 

[stubeeef]

I should soon be 7 of 7, and then it will crash from there. While I don't have upsets on my bracket, I hate not seeing upset games. I will soon start rooting against myself.

[...] I hate not seeing upset games. I will soon start rooting against myself.

I'm the same way. I want to see at least one good upset in the first round, even if it's not what I picked in my bracket.

 

[MacNut]

Cornell is getting blow out.

 

[zioxide]

here we go

beasley vs mayo

 

[MacNut]

USC needs to pick it up in the second half.

 

[zioxide]

Belmont is giving Duke a game but I think they need to take it to the hoop more. They're taking a bunch of threes and made a bunch, but also missed a ton. They're playing good defense but they need to capitalize and get 2 points whenever they can. They also need to do better rebounding if they want to upset Duke.

 

[Silencio]

Stanford vs Marquette on Saturday will be a very interesting contrast in styles: great backcourt versus dominant posts.

USC hasn't looked that great today. Gotta step it up.

Goooooooooo Belmont!

 

[MacNut]

Belmont needs to stop with the quick 3's and drive to the rim.

 

[MacNut]

WOW look at Belmont go.

 

[brn2ski00]

UCLA all the way baby

 

[zioxide]

that was a great game. too bad belmont couldn't pull it off.

 

[stubeeef]

great job jensepollense badgers, picking Kstate over USC. Luckily I had USC losing in the next round to Wisc, but still hurts to miss one. We all about bit the dust on dook.

 

[MacNut]

Dook had no business winning that game.

 

[MacNut]

Only missed 1 so far, lets see what day 2 brings.

 

[fridgeymonster3]

my new theory of picking the teams i was routing for absolutely sucks. 10/16, wow, how absolutely pathetic! Especially since I know a lot about basketball...i'll be out back hanging myself

 

[zioxide]

I got 12/16 (if i remember my bracket correctly, don't feel like going to look)
