Anders, the ads that your talking about, are they for CBS or MMOD? I dont mind the commercials for MMOD. I mean its free and thats cool. I dont mind the ads but why do they have to be so friggin' loud!!!

I think for CBS, but I just hate that they cut away from the games EVERY time there's a timeout.

Great to see the tourney in Boise. They always have great games played through that arena over the years.

 

[Mets82]

I went 12-4 today, so I cant complain. My four losses: Northern Iowa, Miss. St., VCU and Butler. But not bad today, though.

Great to see the tourney in Boise. They always have great games played through that arena over the years.

No idea why they go there. Was Anchorage booked? I hope they've gotten rid of the awful rainbow court they had up there.

 

[bleedblue23]

The logo on center court is a HUGE bronco. No rainbow but the 3point line and under is painted.

--- I wonder if Gus Johnson is going to call the tourney after his recent tiff at a Memphis restaurant.

 

[Mets82]

Bleedblue, Bill, myself, anders, cjwct are still online. Hay, why not? Its the middle of the night. We could stay up for hrs., right?

 

[HD MM]

Michigan DID NOT deserve the win.

They did everything to lose, and got an undeserved win.

There's no such thing as style points in the Tournament.

Win and move on. That's it.

 

[HD MM]

Unfortunately, yes.

This is stinging because I was calling for this upset, and at halftime, I looked like a genius.

Sabres, you are definitely looking like the anti-Karnac lately.

 

[HD MM]

weird . . . cbs pulled away from duke and went to vcu and ucla; now have to watch it on 19" not a 51" . . . btw, i say wierd because the duke game is listed on the program guide tonight

This is typical for the national feed. They usually cut to another game if it's closer or it's coming to an end.

 

[HD MM]

Western Kentucky up early (27-15) . . . . our upset is possible Bill!

I'd venture to bet the majority of us and the entire nation had Western Kentucky over Illinois. Everyone knows the Illini are short handed tonight.

 

[HD MM]

WHY CAN'T SOMEONE PUT THE DAMN NAIL IN UCLA'S COFFIN?!

Rule# 523 when filling out your Bracket:

A Ben Howland coached team does not lose in the first round.

That's as much of a lock as a #12 over a #5 is every year.

 

[HD MM]

Ha! VCU over UCLA wasn't so obvious. UCLA outplayed VCU the whole game. Still I have them losing to Villanova.

+1 :up

 

[HD MM]

Why the hell does CBS have to cut to a commercial during EVERY timeout? Just stay with the game during the last 2 minutes.

If I see that Capital One commercial with the babies playing dodge ball one more time, I'm gonna flip!

 

[HD MM]

Just charge more for fewer ads. Quit f-ing the game up! And I really love all the ads telling me that now is the perfect time to buy a house and that Saturns are great cars. What's in store tomorrow open a checking account with Citibank and buy insurance from AIG?

Speaking of which, I thought Saturn is shutting down their operation? Why are they still running commercials for new cars?!

Another commercial I found comical is that Hyundai one where they vouch to buy your car back from you if you ever lose your job. Plus there is a $3,500 cash back bonus when you purchase a new car from Hyundai. My God, how desperate is the car industry?!

 

[HD MM]

YES!!!! :up

I'm pretty happy with a 12-4 first day (losses by BYU, Butler, Minnesota and VCU).

Most importantly, I still have ALL of my Sweet Sixteen teams in play! :up

I'm sure that will all change tomorrow.

14-2 here.

Damn BYU and Butler!

 

[Ramy]

This thread more than doubled since I posted last, so if anyone said anything to me let me know, because I am not reading all of it.
