PrintFinally, Saturday has arrived, and we get what we all want: more Murray (State):
Kenpom says: Nova 82-79
Kenpom says: Butler 66-61
Kenpom says: Tenn 74-67
Who likes double-digit seeds?
On the surface it looks like we may not get any close games out of the morning/early afternoon games. But if you check the kenpom projections, things are closer than they seem. The only one that really should be a comfortable win is Tennessee over Ohio; but then again we all thought Georgetown was going to wipe the floor with the green and white. The fun thing is there's a very realistic chance one or two of these low seeds makes it to the Sweet Sixteen. My money would be on Saint Mary's, if I had to choose one.
This morning is really just to get you primed and ready to go for the Huskies cakewalk to the Sweet Sixteen this evening. Wooo! Gooooo Dawgs!*
*But really, I hope New Mexico wins by 50.

If only the game before them would go into double OT today....
Wait, they’re first? Screwed

Oh yes.
Somehow, Nova is the most hatable of all the Big East teams to me. Probably cuz they’re from Philly.
I’ll take losing 2 points on my bracket to watch them lose to a 10.
i've had my fill of Samhan sounds like Sandman references
i’m pretty sure these guys did the NCAA 2K series for the xbox, so I’m used to losing when I hear them….
It's less fun without CBS playing roulette with their coverage, too

my wife's a coug
but she has her limits. She’s got a solid six hours of Food Network and HGTV on the DVR that she needs to watch….
My girlfriends reaction was "It's only two days this week right?"
Me: “Nope, four”
Her: “F**K”

I'm throwing in the towel on this game in a few to play a quick round of golf
And I’ll be using my phone to keep track of the game, still

Bill Rafferty doesn't think a big man should ever be called for a foul.
I wonder if it distresses him more than things like world hunger.
North Carolina's playing Mississippi St on ESPN
and it’s the NIT game….weird
The south is so soft.
I would take the top 2 seeds from any other bracket over any team from the south.

You can continue to tear up your bracket?
I’m pretty sure most people had Villanova winning this game at most.
that's me! that's me!
I’ve already given up on winning, and somehow that makes the rest of the games more enjoyable. GO GAELS!

Yeah, I had a good run.
tied for 15th through 2 days? New record!
Go Murray!

I didn't see Baylor beating them.
I’m just not sold on them.

I hate the count the basket + a charge call...

In Vegas, who do you like for this afternoon?
The one I’m eyeing now is K state -4. Need some advice from some good minds.
