That's a terrible call in the Texas game. Wow. What an ugly looking shot.

 

[LaNaranja]

Arizona makes me 4/4. Maybe Irvine really is going to win?

 

[JNA]

And they were playing without their 18ppg leading scorer.

Wow I didn't know that...

 

[Kevtones]

Wow Texas just got jobbed there.



Butler dude that did it has a really terrible face too.

 

[RoKKeR]

Kevin Ware (the dude that gruesomely snapped his leg a couple years ago) also plays for Georgia St. They have quite the story working.

Awesome. Hope they live on after the next round.

 

[HoosTrax]

I didn't do a bracket, so I'm rooting for all the upsets. Well not all all, but I do love seeing underdogs win, especially when they have an epic mascot like a mutha-effing dragon.

 

[GhostWriter24]

I actually can't believe how long that UCLA/SMU halftime lasted. 40+min?

 

[Brian Fellows]

Wow I didn't know that...

Neither did I until halfway through the game or I'd have never picked them to win. Score one for ignorance.

 

[LaNaranja]

I actually can't believe how long that UCLA/SMU halftime lasted. 40+min?

In a hurry to see UCLA lose?

 

[Meier]

I don't think it's been quite that long. But if it's just ended, it's around 25 mins.

I'm all for upsets when its helps us for a change. Usually only one of the 2 opening days is rife with upsets. The other is usually chalk.

 

[GhostWriter24]

In a hurry to see UCLA lose?

No, I've been waiting to take my lunch break to catch the entire second half haha. Freaking starving.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

What the hell is this shit?

Not only is he 3/3. He has Irvine the champion. lmao.

Bastard better not be right because he has UNC falling to Harvard in round 1.

 

[Meier]

That three point play for Butler feels like the game. Texas has been awful in the 2nd and can't buy a bucket.

I'm with you there!

 

[JNA]

SMU is so freaking boring. And their offense is a complete utter mess. So glad I picked UCLA this game.

Larry Brown needs to retire.

Was going to say the same. There's time, but at this pace it means so much less.

 

[Piano]

Is anyone else watching this Texas / Butler game?
How did either of these teams get into the tournament?
Texas is playing beyond terribly.

 

[PopeReal]

How does that ref miss that call? Ball off of Texas player right in front of him.

 

[eznark]

What a gift for texas

 

[Meier]

Was going to say the same. There's time, but at this pace it means so much less.

'Course right after I said that they've had some good luck. Such an ugly game.

 

[AkuMifune]

'Course right after I said that they've had some good luck. Such an ugly game.

And of course right after you said this...

 

[Brian Fellows]

Taylor with some pretty finishes.

 

[bronkonagurski]

I picked SMU to make the S16 in all of my brackets, c'mon Pony Express!

 

[Meier]

Man. Refs giving some REALLY ticky-tack fouls to Butler. You can't do that when they're in the double bonus.. refs taking over the game.

Bad call on that offensive goaltending too.

 

[NYHorn36]

Hopefully Barnes is fired after this game. That would make me feel better. Even if we win.

 

[bronkonagurski]

'Course right after I said that they've had some good luck. Such an ugly game.

Butler has specialized in winning ugly for years now.

 

[LaNaranja]

Same. They still have time to come back.

 

[truly101]

Nobody has ever done less with more.

 

[spyder_ur]

Yeah, some really tight calls. They were in the double bonus with like 10 minutes to go.

Butler has specialized in winning ugly for years now.

That National Championship game with UConn set the sport back like 10 years. In general, scoring is way down whereas the NBA's is way up. Whereas in general it makes me watch less college basketball because the quality is so poor, it might actually work to the benefit of the tournament because it is more likely to produce closer games.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Jones is a tough fucker but he needs to come out. He's a liability for Butler out there right now.

 

[El_Chino]

Man this Texas/Butler games is boring.

 

[Crosseyes]

Wow Big 12 really wants that do over. 4 elite eight calibur teams and they choke that hard.

 

[bronkonagurski]

Nobody has ever done less with more.

Yeah seems like UT could do a lot better. But I can't say much given the last 20 years of IU basketball.

 

[Meier]

Wow @ Isaiah Taylor. What a run by him.

 

[Kevtones]

Come on Texas, SMU, and Ole Miss!

 

[Mik317]

too many commercials/timeouts

 

[Fjordson]

This Texas / Butler game is exciting, but oh so ugly.

 

[eznark]

Weird that free possession the refs gave Texas is going to matter. Who would've thunk...

 

[Meier]

Another terrible call in Butler's favor. All ball by Ridley.

 

[eznark]

BOOM!!

 

[perfectchaos007]

If Barnes isn't fired tomorrow I'm going to raise hell. What a disaster of a season capped off losing to Butler

 

[Meier]

Dagger.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Refs determined to get SMU not only back into the game but into a lead.

 

[AkuMifune]

Welp.

 

[unknownstranger]

I don't care if the rest of my bracket gets fucked. I'm satisfied calling UAB over Iowa State.

 

[jakefromstatefarm]

uhh, 10 seconds?

 

[NYHorn36]

If Barnes isn't fired tomorrow I'm going to raise hell. What a disaster of a season capped off losing to Butler

Fire him at the airport like USC did to Lane Kiffin.

 

[eznark]

so many commercials

 

[Fjordson]

How does Texas only have 4 free throws this half with their interior presence?

so many commercials

Constant stoppages is one of the most annoying things about college bball. Media breaks are a given, but coaches get way too many timeouts.
