I'm glad their point guard is getting some national TV time. He's had a remarkable season. I just looked at ESPN...after OSU, the next most common prediction in that region among their experts was Vandy. Yeah. 4 different people (25%) picked Vandy. I don't get it either.
I went to bed at halftime of that game. Iona was running BYU out of the gym. What the hell happened? No matter who won that MVSU-WKU game, I'm confident Kentucky could hang 100 and change on them. Both teams looked like they didn't have a clue how to use their athleticism.
Oh no. That was Iona Basketball at its finest. The school blows so much smoke up their asses. The girls crawl all over them, even though not one Iona basketball player has made it to the NBA. I'm just glad I won't have to give a shit about college basketball this year, I was so close. But a 25 point lead? Fuck.
Got this rep from Gator You're fucking telling me. It's one thing if its Duke, but BYU? Unacceptable.
Not to mention Iona put up 55 in the first half. They finished with 72 points. From scoring 55 points, to 17 points, in the span of one game and losing in the end. If what you say about the groupies is true, Iona was getting sucked off at halftime and realized they got everything they needed here. You got any backup teams?

Coke Zero is running a promotion right now giving away free promo codes for it. Just text "0YOURTEAMNAMEHERE" to 2653 and you'll receive a promo code and instructions. I just did it with "0ohio" since Ohio is my team, and can confirm that it works. The picture looks great, and I'm currently watching Murray-Colorado State on my lunch break and whenever people aren't walking by my office. After you're registered, just make sure you unsubscribe to the texts by texting "Stop" to 2653 and following those instructions. Also you'll be able to download the app(s) to watch on iPads, other tablets and phones.
That's too bad. I wonder if trying it with a different team would work? Maybe try using the name of a smaller school in the tournament. 0lehigh, 0belmont, etc. ?
From another board, apparently this is the text people are receiving: Coke Zero: Sorry, there are no more free NCAA March Madness Live offers left - went like hotcakes! Reply HELP for help. STOP to cancel. Msg&Data Rates May Apply.
I saw UNC-Asheville play last month. They don't have a single decent player taller than 6'5'', but they're giving Syracuse a nice humble punch in the mouth so far. I hope they can keep it up. Syracuse isn't a likable program right now.
I wouldn't mind if 'Cuse got beat out early, I only have them winning a couple games then getting taken out by Vandy. Asheville could be the Cinderella of this year, but I don't see them making it to the third round.
Man, that goaltending miss was bad, the lane violation even worse, and then the possession out of bounds call was the shadiest of them all. Like the commentators said, call the foul if its there, but otherwise, nobody in their right mind gives possession to Syracuse. Guess the officiating crew must have gotten a round with Bernie Fine's wife in the 80s as well... Happy with how Marquette played, blew the doors off of BYU early, got a bit complacent and sloppy considering how lopsided the first half was, but managed to slam the door every time BYU got up some steam. It was never closer than 6, was low double digits most of the game, yet I still was nervous until about the 3 min mark. The reason why I both love and hate this time of year. On to the next one. Isaiah Canaan, I can't wait for you to face a real defense.
Final four picks: Duke, Missouri, Ohio St, Kansas. Yes, all #2's. Duke over Kansas for the NC. Of course, I pick Duke to win every year so what the fuck. Brought in an extra tv and split cables so I can watch multiple games on double 55" TVs. I've got the Madness; greatest time of the year. As shitty as the refs were in the 'Cuse games (that was definitely out on Niche) they got the call right on the lane violation on the FT. Has to hit rim first before rebounder from outside lane can get it. Got one right at least.
It was clearly out off of the 'Cuse player, but I've gotta agree with the announcers. It should've been a foul anyway so it makes the whole argument sort of moot. So much for WVU being my 7-10 upset. At least one of my brackets is still perfect (Let's go VCU!)
Fuck that, I had WVU knocking off Gonzaga as well, which now seems immensely stupid in retrospect seeing as I watched them play back in December when Michigan State paid them a visit. I didn't watch that Syracuse game, but I saw the replay of the no-call when the ball sailed out of bounds. If I was an Orange fan, I'd be having a real existential crisis with my team right now.
