I am far from a fan, but holy smokes is Duke ever playing good ball. Really really good team when they are firing...and they are.

HUGE kudos to Michigan....what a comeback and were inches from finishing it.

Good stuff.

That was a great game. Holy crap I love March Madness.

Wow, what a half by Ohio State. 52-26 over George Mason (8th seed). OS is nuts, don't really have a weakness.

I stopped watching the game before the first half is over. I thought George Mason was just no match for Ohio State. I love the West Virginia-Kentucky and UConn-Cincy game yesterday. Awesome games! I am getting addicted to this March Madness.

Unbelievable ending to that UT AZ game. Yikes.

IceMan · 03-20-2011, 09:04 PM

Wtf are the Irish doing? This is brutal.

Whether that was 5 seconds or not, Hamilton shouldn't have called timeout. That cost UT the game.

2 teams from Richmond in the sweet 16! Don't get much to cheer for sports wise in Richmond, pretty fun run so far in this tournament!

That is FSU's defense...they are like no one else in the country when it comes to playing in their own end.

Worst bracket ever for me. EVER.

I actually picked Notre Dame to beat my Jayhawks. WTF was I thinking?

IceMan · 03-21-2011, 12:44 AM

A ton of upsets this weekend but amazingly, my Final 4 is still alive.

A really disappointing tourney for the Irish. With the great regular season they had they couldn't even get past the second round. Kansas should coast to the Final four now.

Thanks ND for officially making this the worst bracket I have ever done! Oh well there is always next year. Who is in for a road trip to Portland for opening weekend

Saint Troy · 03-21-2011, 08:52 AM

Really Purdue? Really?

When do tickets go on sale for this type of event? Or is it too late?

VCU pretty much showed all the experts that they were wrong. Looks like they more than deserved to be in the tourney.

Keep checking on the NCAA site. They usually announce when tickets go on sale for the early round and regional games. A warning: they keep the best tickets (lower "bowl"-type) for the teams to sell to their own fans until the teams are announced early in March. It's usually around November or December when they go on sale, you fill out a form/online form and then get the tickets mailed to you.

I've been to two (first/second round in Tampa 2008 and third/fourth round in Syracuse in errr 2005 - the year NC won) sets of games, and the seats weren't great but the atmosphere was fantastic. My wife wants to go next year, but somewhere warm, but I don't know - we have a 2-year old that loses interest in games very quickly, so I think we'll have to go to the regionals and hope he can enjoy it for a few hours.

Do they sell each game individually or do you have the option to buy all games as a pack within that city?

You definitely can buy all games. I am not sure they sell them individually. I have only bought all the games in a region in the past.

They belong, clearly. However, they are lucky to be there. They needed a phantom foul with .8 seconds remaining to get out of Wichita with a win and didn't exactly have a slam dunk resume even with that win.

There is no denying, however, that they have more than lucked their way to the Sweet 16.

Joey Rodriguez is a treat to watch....unless he's shooting free throws against your favorite team with .8 seconds left.
