What kind of price range would somoene be looking at for all the games in one city? Or I guess what did you pay and what year?

First and second round in Denver in 2008 was about $60/seat I think per session (2 games).
Just checked my 2010 tickets but they don't have a price.

And in the first round there would be the opportunity to see 4-1st Rd and 2-2nd Rd match ups? So for under $500/seat you could see all the match ups in that city?

That sounds too good to be true...

So for the six games I saw last year (first/second round) it's ~$200/seat. I just double checked the ticketmaster e-mail.

That seems really cheap...I think I'm going to check out the Portland games if I have any luck getting tickets.

Looks like the second round would fall on St Patty's day on a Saturday! That has trouble written all over it.

This is hilarious...

Henry Hasselbeck isn't quite a one-in-million shot.

More like No. 103 out of 5.9 million.

That's where the 5-year-old son of Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck ranks in his NCAA tournament bracket on ESPN.com after 48 games. That puts Henry in the top 1 percent of all entries. Sister Mallory isn't too shabby, either. She ranks in the top 3 percent.

Anyone know when TSN will show the fab 5 30 for 30?

Looks like it will be on Monday night.

I swear I have already seen this. Was there another one that aired a couple years back called something else?

IceMan · 03-24-2011, 07:46 PM

Well, there goes 2 of my final four teams

Gotta say......no matter how old you are, if you are watching Verne Ludquist tonight, you have to understand just how good he is at his job and how lucky we are to be around to see/hear him call something. Dude is 70 years old and whatever sport he calls, he calls it like its the only one he knows.

Even in a fast moving game like college Bball he is nailing it, knows nuances of games, who each player is, emotes the momentum no matter who has it and when it gets more intense...etc. The guy is a classic....and his voice is a beauty.

Arizona up 10 on Duke with 8:20 left here. Butler also up 14 on Wisconsin early on. Williams having a huge game for Arizona.

Sylvanfan · 03-24-2011, 10:14 PM

Wild Cats roll over Duke, they'll face UConn on Saturday. Butler up 11 with just over 3 minutes to go in their game.

OzSome · 03-25-2011, 08:14 AM

hahaha!! Duke lost to Arizona. I picked Arizona to beat Duke as my upset and of course I am not a big fan of them. I am a North Carolina fan. I got 3 out 4 right. I can't believed Wisconsin lost to Butler. They didn't really showed until late in the game.

It is going to be interesting tonight. I wonder if there is going to be some upset(s).

BigBrodieFan · 03-25-2011, 08:57 AM

All I care about is if KU wins. I already feel sick thinking about it. I wish the game was just over already.

ROCKCHALK!!

*sweating bullets* (fingers crossed)

Clever_Iggy · 03-25-2011, 09:12 AM

Incredible performance by the Wildcats. Sean Miller has done an amazing job getting the program back on track in only a few years. Granted, the USC sanctions (Mayo and Floyd) sure helped expedite the process immensely, but I'm very comfortable that Miller is going to be able to be a huge Pac 12 recruiter for years.

UConn's up next!

OzSome · 03-25-2011, 08:51 PM

Wooohooo University of North Carolina won!! They might have a tough time against the winner of Kentucky-Ohio State. I think the Buckeyes will beat Kentucky tonight. OSU is an awesome team and I think they will win it all. I hope UNC will upset them next round.

IceMan · 03-25-2011, 09:59 PM

The #1 overall seed in the tourney is going home.

What a crazy tournament and my bracket is now officially done.

transplant99 · 03-25-2011, 10:00 PM

Great game and full marks to Kentucky. Glad to see OSU out.

Dion · 03-25-2011, 10:04 PM

KU beats 12th-seeded Richmond 77-57.......

DFF and BBF will be celebrating.

Crap, OSU lost the game. I was watching early in the game and they seemed to be dominating the game. I stopped watching and when I came back to watch the game it was already over and Kentucky won by 2.

Love that UNC Tar Heels is still alive.

How about them VCU? They will Kansas this weekend. So, Eight teams left:

UNC(2) vs Kentucky(4)
Kansas(1) vs VCU(11)
Butler(8) vs Florida(2)
UConn(3) vs Arizona(5)

Bolded will be my picks.
