2011 NCAA TOURNAMENT THREAD: Day 3

We've done some furious collective whittling over the last few days, and our giant chunk of 64 teams is now to a more manageable, but less exciting, 32-team size. The good things about round 2 (or round 3 as the NCAA likes to call it - but screw them this is round 2) is that there are generally more quality match-ups and less chance for blowouts.
The downside to that is there are less blowouts, and less time for us to have quality conversations on important topics.
If you haven't noticed, the theme of this week is the kids I work with. I made a trivia game for them yesterday and the final question required them to name all the teams in the tournament from Tennessee.
One kid asked, "Is Kentucky in Tennessee?"
We all dream of an epic fight between a bear and an alligator.
Richmond is likely to win this, but that doesn't mean we can't root for Morehead!
GO AZTECS!
We should all root for Pittsburgh just to avoid having to hear anyone says, "The Butler did it."
JIMMERJAMJIMMERZOMGJIMMER.
Will Jacob Pullen's intravenous line help or hinder him today versus the Badgers? Are you sad that it will have more NCAA tournament minutes than all of us combined?
I'm really confused by the time of this game. It's going to start at almost 10:00 local time in D.C. The last game in Denver starts 5:45 local time. Why not switch some of those games around so people don't have to stay at the arena until midnight? We saw some a lot of empty seats last night because of late games.
Anyways, as for the matchup, it is a huge second round Big East Tournament game. Both teams are looking to improve seeding.

Way down in West Virginia
There’s some people who are one of a kind.
They don’t need nothin from nobody cuz they’re alreday doin fine.
If we play NW
Our defense is going to have to step up. They run the Princeton offense to precision and make a lot of three’s. If we are late getting to the shooters, we are in trouble. Of course have to beat OSU first and that will he hard if we don’t bring it.
To be fair
Boston College looks like they’re all hungover
I would think it's
“We wanted to play in the big dance and we dont care”
They just had too much talent to lose in the first round

I like the chemicals "added to help protect flavor"
Impressive list. From the interwebs—
BHA – The US National Institutes of Health report that BHA is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals.
Propyl Gallate – acts as an estrogen antagonist.
And anything you don't have to refrigerate is just gold.
Seriously, my Grandma cooked with this stuff all the time. How she lived to be 98 is beyond me…but her pies, cookies, fried chicken, and pork chops were the best on the planet.

With the Northwestern win, our path has been laid down. Can we focus and do we want it bad enough to take advantage. It’s sitting on a platter for us to take. The program could really use the boost of a Madison Square trip.

Anyone ever looked at Kenneth Faried's KenPom ranks?
Offensive Rebounding: 1st
Defensive Rebounding: 1st
eFG%: 11th
Block%: 39th
Steal%: 93rd
Fouls Drawn per 40: 77th
Free Throw Rate: 68th
Very impressive.
He’s also a major conference player in a one-bid conference, so the numbers are probably skewed a bit.

We had a "box wine" night with our friends once.
It was right after Michael Jackson died. So I made a playlist and every time an MJ song came on, everyone had to touch their nose. Last one finishes their drink.
Which was a keg cup of Cab Sav.
The same guy lost every time. He was done by 11.

Last time I was at Dick's (by the Space Needle)
I walked outside and some dude about 50 feet from me yelled. “Hey you got some change!” I was totally caught off guard. And the dude continued to sit at the bus stop. He looked at me like, Ya! you buddy. I looked around and he was definitely talking to me. I didn’t have any cash on me, but what am I suppose to walk over to him? Bums are really getting lazy these days, just shouting out at people from a distance. True story. The other day I also saw a bum laying down in the grass watching a movie on his laptop.

She's pregnant, so no
But she is bringing me a jamba juice right now. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Need my vitamins.
Reeves Nelson endeared himself to me after he got nailed by wsu

Most of my hate is due to the fact that we can’t beat them. Ever.
I hate them.
But I always root for them in the tourney.

Im on the opposite end here.
They are the most successful college basketball program in history and their fans are considerably less insufferable than most of the pac-10
I will have to disagree with your last statement.

Yes, I would say in my time on the interwebs, I've had more unpleasant run-ins with Zona, ASU, Cal, USC, Oregon and Washington fans than UCLA.
And I just assume Stanford fans are more unpleasant.
That is an incorrect assumption.
Stanford doesn’t have fans.

I think I could run a team, management or coach. I think I could coach US soccer, or run the whole program. I’m a man, I’m 41.

Temple was definitely trying to foul.
It happened before the shot. Would have been called with less than a second left and would have been side out of bounds for SDSU. Refs were letting it go on purpose so as not to penalize SDSU.
Just my guess.
