Sweet Sixteen Open Thread

The brackets go on. Again you can view the standings in the right results, or just go to the CGB page to track who you need to win tonight. March Madness On Demand is still working, so you can watch it online here.

My Pick results so far: 5-12? I dunno. I've lost a lot on the tourney this week. Thank goodness for the NIT/CBI. Go Beavers!

(All times PST)

4:07 PM, Purdue vs. UConn (West): It's just not UConn's week, you know? Purdue +6.5

4:27 PM, Xavier vs Pitt (East): I hate both of these teams.

6:37 PM, Missouri vs Memphis (West): A fun game to watch. I don't need money on it.

6:57 PM, Villanova vs Duke (East): I'm going to kill myself when they lose by 20. Duke -2.5.

Enjoy tonight's action!

seriously, go beavs!

I saw that +4 last night, made sure it was at Corvallis, and let the good times roll. Good times = $8.87.

I did a nice little parlay action with Uconn to win and Villanova +2 (when did it move to 2 1/2 damnit??). Also UConn to win and Michigan St. -1 1/2. If Uconn wins and just one of the other two covers, I’m golden. If Uconn loses, fuck.

No doubt. He’s gonna be a baller. I’m very high on Amoke and Seeley, too. I see a lot of potential and athleticism in this young “transition” group.

Don't forget me this time now Avinash :)

anyone see that little news bit on boykin’s drawing obama on cbs? he’s pretty good.

swore i picked vill over pitt, but my bracket says other wise.. oh well

if this goes bracket tourney goes to the wire and i lose by 1 point, was it foolish of me to pick cal over maryland due to principle (as a cal fan i have to pick them for at least 1 win) when I thought maryland was going to win?.. thoughts?

get off me bandwagoners!

since only 2 people picked Maryland, the chance of you losing by one to one of them is slim

so try to think of it as a wash

You won’t be forgotten.

If you find the Boykin clip, feel free to post it as a fanshot.

You’re telling me. I originally had Memphis over Cal, switched it to Cal over Memphis as a joke, and then forgot about it till tipoff day. /facepalm

thats.. pretty brutal..

thats pretty brutal californiabone… go cal!

the boykin clip was on cbs during the sports recap after the memphis/missouri game. he takes magazine shots of obama (among other things) cuts half of it off and draws the other half. very well done drawing. don’t see it in cbssports though hmm…

during the sports recap the anchors were saying how NOBODY would have picked missouri to win this game… they lost some major credibility there for me.. i thought with memphis with their soft schedule and their injured point guard was a surefire loss..

those two teams are really athletic though.. im impressed

get off me bandwagoners!
