Is anyone going to the games in San Jose?

I don’t know who goes to these games. I’d be a little curious to drop by, but not $90 curious, and I have to work during the day anyway (or, at the very least, I have to be present at work while I vicariously pay attention to ESPN’s gametracker).

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

We could do a signature bet. If St. Mary’s win, I get to choose a signature for you and vice versa. Of course, the signatures would not be mean or inappropriate.

What is up with ASU and OSU? ASU loses at home to Jacksonville in the NIT. OSU gets blown out at home against Boston U in the College Basketball Invitational. I don’t think the Pac-10 was really that awful this year – but that is bad.

by Tedfordisgod on Mar 18, 2010 8:43 AM PDT reply actions  

In the case of ASU, they might have the NIT let down wherein you feel depressed to miss the NCAAs and flail about in the NIT. Not sure.

BTW, been watching a little NIT action recently. UNC had a packed house. Memphis had a packed house. I remember that we had like 1,000 show up. So, that is a little interesting to me.

UNC didn’t play in its usual arena (the “Dean Dome”). They played in the old Carmichael Arena, which seats 6,800. Nonetheless, it was packed and seemed like a great atmosphere.

The NIT crowds at ASU, Mississippi State, and Seton Hall looked sparse.

well, OSU was only in the CBI because they were defending champs — they were granted an exception despite their losing record. so, in theory, they should have been the worst team in the field. remember, they also got blown out at home by Seattle.

Hah! I don’t know what I was thinking. I don’t really believe in Kansas St. or Pitt for some reason, so my West bracket is pretty crazy. BYU didn’t really play anyone this year, and I didn’t really watch them, but they won a lot of games and so I’m hoping they can pull off an upset or two.

Yes, but I fail to see the relevance of that. All I know is that there are probably many people like me, who want to keep up on what is going on, but also have a lot of work to do. So, if the people who are just laying about like the gadabouts that they are can provide more information than “WOW! DID YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BYU GAME?!?!?” or “Old Dominion is really screwing up here,” then we’d have a stronger appreciation of the sitch.

Feh. I prefer the less information. That way I can watch the game in my head, which is almost always way better than the one in real life. I mean, how can a standard layup compare with one in which the player has to leap over three defenders, do a somersault in mid-air, solve the riddle of the sphinx, all the while maintaining possession of a ball covered in blood in order to score?

Look, I acceded to your importuning about creating a bracket, but I’m damned if I’m actually going to pay attention to the details.

Incidentally, I used the “random picks” function which means that my CGB bracket has Robert Morris winning it all, and my Conquest Chronicles bracket has Cal winning it all.

Oh, the details thing… Sorry, I’m not watching the game, I just looked at the boxscore. Robert Morris is ahead 15-11 with 9:27 left in the first half. It’s not exactly a barnburner, and I’m sure Villanova will pull it out, but I’m glad I have them losing in the Sweet 16.

Damn it, Notre Dame

I originally had Old Dominion pulling the upset but changed back to chalk. First pick of the tournament, wrong. My first 3 picks were all trailing pretty late, and I’m hoping for BYU and Nova to pull it out.

What?? They won 6 of their last 7 before the tournament, including wins over Georgetown and Pittsburgh, and in their only loss, it was a 2-point squeaker against a solid West Virginia team.

I do honestly think going to a small school provides some educational aspects a big school (especially a research school like Cal) can’t match. Good looking girls at Richmond. It’s in the South, which is awesome. Nice campus (understatement). You see the same people around campus and in classes all the time (could be a good thing, could be a bad thing, it’s a personal preference type thing). Almost everyone lives on campus (again, personal preference if you like that or not). I didn’t have a car in college but didn’t need one because campus life has everything you need. We had a great athletic scene for the student body, despite a small student body our intramurals were incredibly competitive and there was tons of talent, which is great for me cause I love sports and I’m a good athlete so I had tons of opportunities to play kids at my level across all different sports. Honestly I think that was probably the single biggest positive at Richmond. It’s just a much more personal experience overall – I’ve talked to the basketball coach before, played basketball against the NFL/former NFL players that went through our school while I was there, talked to the school president, dean of the business school, met most of the faculty in my school, and I’m not the type of person to go out of my way to do those kinds of things.

How many of those places have you lived in or spent significant time in? I’ve lived in 3 – Bay Area, Richmond and Northeast. The Northeast is by far the worst, it sucks up here.

I knew that’d be a tough matchup for us. We haven’t done a good job taking advantage of his lack of foot speed on defense. We also need a better team rebounding effort.

Well, plenty of time left, especially for an explosive team like Richmond.

Gonzavelz can rain 3 NBA range 3’s in a row at any given time. He’s a bit like Randle in that regard.

Is he the one that just shattered the backboard with that layup attempt?

So, everyone that isn’t concerned about Amoke should take note of this game. We’re more talented than St Mary’s, but rebounding is that important to winning.

What’s with the crazy foul disparity?

But seriously, we go to the rim a lot more than they do.

So… you’d think that would mean more fouls called on them.

Oh, I just assumed there were since Samhan’s in foul trouble. Probably because they keep getting offensive rebounds then.

by Missing Barry on Mar 18, 2010 2:25 PM PDT up reply actions  

Richmond seems to keep missing layups. That’s not a good recipe.

I love how the NCAA tried their best to pair up midmajors with each other

Try to make Villanova’s road to the Sweet 16 as easy as possible.

Considering the way they played, they’ll need all the help they can get.

Missing Barry sig suggestions:

“What kind of lame mascot is a Spider anyway?”

“Richmond – I would rather be gang-raped in California than go to school in Virginia.”

“Spiders are always terrified of Gaels… Whatever those are.”

And, my personal favorite:
“The San Francisco Giants are the most worthless, pathetic, and vile franchise in the history of the universe.”

I know, technically not Richmond related, but worth a shot anyway.

Hey, nowhere was it stated that any of these had to be true statements. Here’s a truer one:

The Itsy-Bitsy Spiders were in a Tourney bout
Out came the Gaels and blew the Spiders out
Up came the Bears and played against the Cards
But the Itsy-Bitsy Spiders were already at home in Richmond watching it on television.

It seems UTEP has woken up and realized that oh wait, they’re just a #12 seed.
