Utah up 5 at half! Whew! Iowa only down 3 early in second half so that's a big turn-around.

My bracket was starting to look ugly until those turnarounds.

I'm jinxing Iowa I think. I got in the shower and they were down 9. I get out and they have it down to 3. A minute later its back up to 9.

Huggins has a 12-2 record in the first round. :lol :lol @ those suckered by Pitt and Iowa

p.s. UTEP is the dumbest team alive

If Gonzaga wrecks my bracket for the third year in a row, I will personally drive up there and scream my head off at their plane when it arrives home.
 

SpeedingUptoStop

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
Arizona and wake now have comfortable leads. Nevada is dangerously close to screwing up for me. No biggie. Gonzaga on the other hand.....GAAAH!!

From Bill Simmons "The NCAA real-time running diary":

7:31 – Right now we have Batista (from Gonzaga) working inside against Bradshaw (from Winthrop). Where are Triple H and Kurt Angle?

:lol
 
Much better 2nd half for me today. 4-0 on the 7:00 set of games bringing my overall record today to 9-3. I'll take it.

So awesome that I didn't even have to miss work today to see the entire Illini game. Primetime baby, go Illini!

I'm 11-1 overall bitches! (and it'd be 12-0 if those fucking Hawkeyes actually showed up for their game today).

LOL, you are so laughable.


just watch us kick some florida ass! those suckas will be runnin back to disney world with their gator tails between their legs, covering up their very small penises.

Additionally, we will have sex with their girlfriends, one at a time, then all at once.


i am resigned to the fact that we will probably lose, just let me revel in my alma mater actually getting somewhere in a sport by allowing me to trash talk. it'll be over in a day more than likely.

Lol, ok, but let me give a few corrections.

UCF is from orlando, not the gators. We are from GAINESVILLE, about 2 hours north of orlando.

2nd, if you are gonna make a joke about our hot ladies, at least make a proper joke about Walsh (like the rest of the nation does) and his Playboy girlfriend.

Oh, I know all about UCF, we used to stomp their sorry asses too when they were in the MAC.

Everyone from Florida lives at Disney World as far as I'm concerned, so GO BACK TO MICKEYLAND you gator lover.



Stand up and cheer
Cheer loud and long for old Ohio,
For today we raise
The Green and White above the rest.

Our boys are fighting,
And we are bound to win the fray;
We've got the team,
We've got the steam,
For this is old Ohio's day!

Overall not bad round today. I think I missed 2 if LSU doesn't make a huge comeback. Still not good enough for me tho. I will not top last year's perfect 2nd day :(

Nothing, UAB* played well. Speaking as a diehard Louisville* fan, It's how underated C-USA is, and continues to be. If I was UK, I'd be very concerned right now about the Cincinatti* game on Saturday. Lets not make it three years in a row they get put out of the tourney by a team from "horrible" C-USA. :lol Should be entertaining. I'm fed up with people ragging on C-USA. We get no respect, yet every year it's the same scenario.

Louisville has beat UAB twice this year in conference play. We've beat two SEC teams -- Florida & the Vols, and only lost to the third SEC team -- Kentucky -- by a hair. (I still say Sparks travelled with the ball, but whatever!) We've also beat Cincy twice, once of course on their home floor. Cincy just destroyed Iowa today BTW. Somehow the selection commitee still finds a way to give Louisville a number 4 seed, even though we have the most wins among all 64 tournament teams sans Illinois. We won the regular season conference championship, and our conference tourney championship. Not to mention we've won something like 18 of our last 19 games, a lot of those being road wins. Don't forget we're #4 in both the USA Today/AP Poll. Well ahead of PLENTY of the teams that are ranked above us in the tourney. We had a very strong finish to the end of our season, so that can't be an issue, hell we won our conference outright for crying out loud.

A 4 seed my ass. Redemption shall be ours...starting Saturday when Cincy's Jason Maxiell punishes UK's frontcourt on the way to victory. Down with the overated SEC! :)

The "mighty" SEC Vs. "feeble & weak" C-USA
2005 - UK vs Cincinatti = You do the math.
2004 - UK vs UAB = UAB wins.
2003 - UK vs Marquette = Marquette* wins.

And rag all you want about how Louisville lost first round last year. It won't happen again this year. I really don't have that much of an issue with UK, I'm just sick and tired of UK fans, and SEC supporters in general...fuck it the entire general public, disrespecting our conference like it's not a competetive conference. A lot of teams from these so-called power conferences would be mighty surprised if they played our schedule. It's not as easy as it looks partna!

If your conference is so damn special why is your coach so desperate to get out of it? Come on, let's get real here. C-USA sucks and you know it. Problem is, SEC sucks hardcore this year, too.

goddamit, Griese!
seriously, C-USA is crap and you all know it.
Louisville may be good(and i hope so, as i have them in the final 4), but the conference is weak fucking sauce.
i had louisville going far the last two years....what happened? they bowed out to worse teams.


plain and simple, C-USA will get no respect until they earn it. and they haven't earned shit right now.

12-4 today.

Texas
Alabama
Pitt
Iowa

All let me down today. But my sweet 16 is still intact and I'm going 16-0 tomorrow.
 
LSU
Utah State
UTEP

These are the teams I lost with today. LSU was in my Sweet Sixteen, didn't see the game but in retrospect I should've been more wary about a young team dealing with UAB's pressure.

Not a great day for my picks, not bad either.

Once Louisville leaves that conference is toast.
