I'm slowly starting to regret my UTEP over Syracuse pick in the 3rd round
Oh well. Go big or go home.
"Nicolas! You're the strongest boy in the world!"
Cuse and Duke are getting lots of interesting 2-3rd round upsets in brackets I am looking at.
#10 & #52
my big upset team was Notre Dame
and they lost 1st game. stupid stupid pick
How am I not myself? How am I not myself?

My bracket's going to explode
Though my entire motivation is to beat the president’s bracket. I have Cal winning it all and Gonzaga getting to the final four instead of Kansas State.

Robert MOrris up 6 at the half
Rice SR. might be the only person in the nation that had this potential upset on his bracket…
RUDY > MJ
Thank you KP
Oh, come on, exercise extreme homerism
Roy>Wade

True
The Roy/Diener matchup wasn’t such an obvious victory

Come on CBS, switch out of this game
WE WANT ROBERT MORRIS!

BYU should really be up more than they are
With so many Florida giveaways.

WOW.
Fredette just crossed over a Gator like Tim Hardaway and drilled the three. That was an NBA move.
Oregon Football: Keeping Oregon State out of the Rose Bowl since 2008
Makes sense
But anyone who is that good a shooter, especially at the FT line, will have a chance.

You knew Nova was going to make a run at some point
Nova can outscore almost anyone easily.

lot's of time left...
but…but, the boys are playing strong!
wake me in 2011
I don't care much about March Madness.
It was great in high school though because my Marketing teacher loved it so much we would just watch it the entire class period. One game on the TV and another on the projection screen.
It will do until the Blazers play again, I suppose.

It's better than baseball.

I entered the 95.5 bracket contest
Consider the “Godfathers” bracket busted. He had Notre Dame going to the final four. LOL
RUDY > MJ
Thank you KP
I have Nova going to the Elite Eight
But I’m rooting hard for Robert Morris. Gotta love the tourney.

Brackets: Upset points system vs Straight point system by round
which one is better

last couple of fouls really questionable
wake me in 2011
The Nova coach might catch some heat if they lose for sitting his starting backcourt
RUDY > MJ
Thank you KP
MMOD fail
Apparently it thinks the Robert Morris game is over
Oregon Football: Keeping Oregon State out of the Rose Bowl since 2008
For those who don't like Roy ISO's at the end of the game...
At least we’re not running the “plays” Florida went to at the end of regulation and the first OT. What a complete joke.
"...it was like he brought his own personal cross-wind to the arena." - Dave
The first one ended up in a decent look
The second one was absolutely turrible. I liked how the guy just swatted the miss/pass towards the backboard…
RUDY > MJ
Thank you KP
OK, now MMOD says technical difficulties on Robert Morris game
Oregon Football: Keeping Oregon State out of the Rose Bowl since 2008
Who's Petey?
And where’s his head?

I think I just heard Mike Rice Sr. say
“Ooooh I shouldn’t have eaten those 5 doughnuts this morning!”
#52
have you guys tried the boss button on the march madness on demand?
very funny
Awesomeness (ô'səm-nes)
1. n. Something that inspires awe
2. n. Nicolas Batum
Danger! Nova!
Number Five alive!
Oregon Football: Keeping Oregon State out of the Rose Bowl since 2008
Don't know if RMU can recover from the start of OT
They need to score and score quick
Oregon Football: Keeping Oregon State out of the Rose Bowl since 2008
I got Nova going to the elite 8, they better win!!!
The short one says to the tall one, "If I were you, I'd be tall."
The tall one replies, "No, if you were me, I'd be short."
Yeah me too
I still wanna see a huge upset though
Oregon Football: Keeping Oregon State out of the Rose Bowl since 2008
Not the way they played today, but the farther they go the better for my bracket.
The short one says to the tall one, "If I were you, I'd be tall."

Baylor down early to the powerhouse Sam Houston State
Oregon Football: Keeping Oregon State out of the Rose Bowl since 2008
Wasn't Baylor of Villanova one of the knights of the round table?
I now dub thee SIR Baylor of Villanova

Robert Morris HOSED by bad foul call
One ref had it jump ball, the other foul. replay showed jump ball.
Oregon Football: Keeping Oregon State out of the Rose Bowl since 2008
Robert Morris goes Monty Python!
I’m not dead!
Oregon Football: Keeping Oregon State out of the Rose Bowl since 2008
“They’re only mostly dead.”
The short one says to the tall one, "If I were you, I'd be tall."
The tall one replies, "No, if you were me, I'd be short."
My bracket is still intact with Nova to the elite eight
But sad for RMU. Good effort, boys
Oregon Football: Keeping Oregon State out of the Rose Bowl since 2008
He did a great coaching job. He had them motivated and they gave a ton of effort.
The short one says to the tall one, "If I were you, I'd be tall."

RM played the game that those kids
Dreamed of having. Amazing effort. Couldn’t ask for more.

Today in 3 games is already more competitive
Than all of the first day last year.

Sam Houston hanigng with Baylor
COME ON BEARS!

I have to say
The nickname Mean Green is awesome.

sweet buzzer beater by Murray State
bummer for lil Rice earlier today.
Firmly in favor of making a coaching change at the end of the season.

Ugh Vandy..
There goes my dreams of perfect bracket…Rather early this year.

Omar Samhan as an NBA rotation player
yay or nay?

in terms of production, he's a top 5-10 player in the country.

he's huge, has great hands, good post moves and great touch around the rim
slow and out of shape, though.
I would say his worst case is Aaron Gray and best case is Aaron Gray except way better.

his PER is #2 in the nation only behind Cousins

Maybe if he plays well in pre-draft workouts or tournaments he has a chance in the second round, a la Patty
I wouldn’t take him
yeah
he’ll be in someone’s summer league at minimum, I think. If he doesn’t make a team, I expect him to be lighting up the D-League and waiting for the call from Golden State.

Wow, crazy Vanderbilt lost.
Good thing I had them losing in the next round, anyway. :)
"Nicolas! You're the strongest boy in the world!"
I usually blame Van Horn and/or Majerus for that

St. Mary's-Richmond and UTEP-Butler were the two games I expected to be the best today
Firmly in favor of making a coaching change at the end of the season.

Richmond is playing surprisingly crappy
and St Mary’s is playing surprisingly well.
RUDY > MJ
Thank you KP
I bet they beat Villanova if the team I watched against RMU shows up
Nova has to be better than what they put on the floor today. Lots better.
RUDY > MJ
Thank you KP
Since...
I go to St Mary’s so I put us in the Final Four… scene is so epic here on campus. Nobody went to class and everyone is just outside celebrating. Bring on ’Nova!
Nova struggled today and doesn't really have a C
Samhan could have another big game. You guy have a chance!
