The score taking over from sportsnet scares me. Although davidson is the exciting game, there still are two other games with big name schools that they've yet to even show a second of. To go along with very long commercial breaks and then coming back after minutes have passed in the game. I know this sounds like way to much bitching but sportsnet did such a good job.

All the teams that got snubbed by stanford getting a seed are smiling. They are just getting slaughtered.

And here I thought I was clever for making Stanford one of my upset picks.

Penn state has gone on a 21-6 run in the second half to take the lead against Texas A&M. If they're somehow able to hold on, that's gonna destroy a few brackets.

I got an american friend coming up who wants to watch the WSU game on saturday.
Are there any bars in town that'll be showing this?

Arkansas over USC.

Yikes, this is probably my worst start in the tournament in about 5 years or so. I really thought Oral Roberts would win today and I had a feeling about Old Dominion as well. Oh well, hopefully I do better tonight and tomorrow.

I too had a feeling about Old Dominion...I should stop picking upsets.

But I think Memphis has this tourny.

And there goes my bracket. I had Duke going to the final

Cerebral · 03-15-2007, 07:53 PM

My Dukies go down as the first upset loss in this tournament.

Paulus played his guts out but he's just too damn slow to guard most guards. I'm doing terrible so far, I've already lost both Duke and Oral Roberts from my Sweet 16. Heck, I only had one pick wrong on the first day of the tournament last year.

Pathetic game by Duke. Paulus may be the wrost college b-ball player in the last 50 years. I knew this team would be young and have some growing pains but they have nobody willing to step up and try to make a play.

Their play at the end of the game looked more like a 8th grade girls b-ball team from Canada than a top level college b-ball program.

This should give Pittsburgh plenty of motivation to win because they will kill VCU in the second round.

Give some credit to VCU, they've been flirting with being a ranked team all year. They're a good team.

Duke played like they have all year, they're no better than they displayed tonight.

GO VCU!

VCU is okay, but if Duke had pounded it down to McRoberts all game they would have won easily. VCU had nobody who could stop him.

I give VCU credit they played the game of their lives and had a lot of shots drop for them. However, Duke should have easily beat them had they shown up ready to play and had Paulus had a clue out there.
