Schedule for the morning games (all times PST)-- If you can't get to a TV, catch all the action on March Madness On Demand!
- #9 Butler vs #8 LSU, 9:20 AM-South Region
- #15 CSU Northridge vs #2 Memphis, 9:25 AM (will be televised on CBS on most of the the West Coast)-West Region
- #9 Texas A&M vs #8 BYU, 9:30 AM-West Region
- #12 Northern Iowa vs #5 Purdue, 11:30 AM-West Region
- #16 Radford vs #1 North Carolina, 11:50 AM-South Region
- #16 Chattanooga vs #1 Connecticut, 12:00 PM-West Region
This will take us into the Cal-Maryland game, scheduled for tipoff at 11:55 AM PST.
Since I literally started tinkering with my bracket around 11:30 last night and didn't finish until 4, and I know I'm going to lose to RemorsefulBruinBabe, I've resorted to the vice (and to some degenerates, virtue) of any sports fan to maintain a vested interest in an event: Gambling.
I'll probably be running a majority of the non-Cal open threads, I'm just going to post quick picks against the line for any game I see desirable. Maybe I have money on them, maybe I don't. You can post your own picks in the comments or watch me crash and burn. For your safety, watch me crash and burn.
Picks in the early games: CSU Northridge +20 (this line should be 30), BYU -3. Not really invested in either of these, but I liked them enough.
And now the big ones for the entire tourney:
Pac-10 Tourney Wins O6.5 -105
Six teams in the tourney, I'm basically hoping almost everyone wins their openers and/or someone goes deep. This is another fun bet that should be absolutely nauseating to watch unfold.
And now, the championship bets.
Memphis +950 (9.5:1 odds) to win it all
UConn +950 to win it all
Gonzaga +600 to get to the Final 4
Gonzaga +3000 to win it all
Gonzaga is the long shot I'm picking here to give it a go. No Adam Morrison to make fun of=me liking this team way more than I did the last time they were competitive. Add in a weak conference that they play in and no real gathered interest=me being interested.
UConn is a team I like simply because of the four #1 teams, they're generating the least amount of buzz. I know they lost a guard, but I'd rather have a college team flying under the radar than one that isn't.
And yes, I have Memphis winning my bracket. Again. We all know how well that turned out last time. I'm going to need therapy after this one.
Either way, the madness begins. You can start talking about your picks and who you think will win it all in the comments (if you're really paranoid, you can wait until after tipoff). And of course, discuss the games unfolding.

You picked Northrige +20? Dude, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Memphis by like 45.

CSU Northridge +20 (this line should be 30)
I think Avinash is confused. Seems like he’s taking Memphis to cover, hence the quote that the line should be 30.

UConn doesn’t have enough without their injured player to make it past the Final 8
Gonzaga to the Sweey 16, thats it at best

Sophomore forward Omondi Amoke, who figured to play a substantial role off the bench Thursday against Maryland, seems unlikely to play in the Golden Bears’ NCAA tournament opener after sustaining a concussion in practice Sunday.
Cal is listing the 6-foot-7 Amoke as day-to-day, but he didn’t sound convinced he would get to play.

my bad according to wikipedia the figure is 90%
The Valley became the pioneering region for producing adult films in the 1970s and since then has been home to a multi-billion dollar pornography industry earning the monikers “Porn Valley”, “San Pornando Valley” or “Silicone Valley” (a play on Silicon Valley and silicone breast implants). The leading trade paper for that field (AVN Magazine) is based in the Northwest Valley, as are a majority of the nation’s adult video and magazine distributors. According to the HBO series Porn Valley, nearly 90% of all legally distributed pornographic films made in the United States are either filmed in or by studios based in the San Fernando Valley.

good…I always Disneyland as my LA point of reference. I think they had an epic little league team in the LLWS 10 years or so ago. And a very large earthquake.

I should have picked them, but I thought they were banged up. You can’t count on the Furd (Trent Johnson) for anything.

What a shame – I went all chalk for my bracket except for Cal going all the way, and BYU is about to screw that up already.
Still happy over the fact that the Nets signed Ryan Anderson. Now if only they can sign Leon Powe after this year...

I wouldn’t fret the 8-9 games. It’s getting the sweet 16 and beyond right is where the winning happens.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

I’m not. My best ever bracket a few years back started 24 for 32 in round 1 and then I pretty much picked every possible remaining game right and finished in 1,915th place on ESPN out of 345,000

one of my 8-9 upsets fails. A&M over BYU still looking good, though.
