Damn me and my conservatism
At one point in my bracket, I had Old Dominion, St. Mary’s, and Murray St. all pulling off upsets. Then I decided that I didn’t want that many and changed them. Ugh.
And I also picked UTEP to the Sweet 16, and now they’re about to lose…
I’d be leading my dorm pool too, since most other people just picked chalk. This is only the second year I’ve done a bracket, so perhaps I’ll learn from this (like not listening to ESPN or CBS).
UTEP
I, too, had them going there. I am disappointed, but I didn’t really change anything from my original picks. Oh, well, I guess. Sometimes you reach or go the non-conventional route and it doesn’t pay off.

Washington-Marquette
It will be an interesting game. I can easily see it going either way. I picked Marquette to win their entire region, though, with wins over New Mexico, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

I think Texas, Wisconsin, Temple and Cornell can beat them. Control tempo and make Kentucky beat you in the half-court like Mississippi State almost did twice this season. The difference is that those other teams are better than Mississippi State.

I don’t think Texas, Wake, or Wisco are any good. Kentucky isn’t very good at basketball, but they have very talented athletes. I think it’ll take a West Virginia to knock them out, though Temple might have a shot.

G-town is playing OK. Not great but good enough if it weren’t for the ridiculous 3s Ohio has been making
8-16 is 50%, which is pretty good, but 8 threes in a half shouldn’t be enough to take down G-town.

Ohio is moving the ball really well. So, they’re defending scrambling moving the defense. . . and then after 4-5 passes. BAM! another 3. That can be disheartening.

What do I watch? Wake up 4 with 3:50 to go, or Tennessee up 3 with 3:30 to go?!?

No, which is kind of annoying
You could always go to ATDHE and load up streams of other games. They’re not as good quality as the CBS On Demand thing though.
Texas
Well, they’re going to win.

Alright Cal we did our part. It's your turn tomorrow to show all those east coast analysts that the Pac-10 isn't the hellhole they think it is.
I’m rooting for you guys! Show ‘em why you’re the Pac-10 champs.
I was also kind of annoyed that they called us the Pac-10 champions during the game, goes to show how little attention we get on the west coast.
OK, I switched to SDSU/Tenn. Did Wake hit their FTs after the block?

Texas was at the FT line down 1, but only hit 1/2 FTs, Wake didn’t handle the ball well and couldn’t get a shot off to win it.

in a long, long time, certainly
a couple of 1 seeds cruised, as did ohio, but yeah, it’s been dramatic.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

This Wake Forest-Texas game is the third overtime game of the day. Five other games have been decided by three points or less.

Anyone else get pissed off at that Brown guy on Texas? No not Mack Brown, even though that’d be as legitimate of a reason to hate that Brown guy there is.
Just his cockiness and poor sportsmanship reminded me of Wesley Johnson from syracuse.

USC’s is annoying because they’re good and you hear it a lot. If you think about it objectively, it’s actually quite catchy and memorable. The Texas fight song just isn’t very good.

By “good and you hear it a lot”, I mean it’s like rubbing salt in your wounds when they’re beating you. Which means it’s effective.

ESPN
I like that they don’t have a double standard. The Big East is 1-3 in the tournament so far and they are calling them out a little bit. This past college football season, the Pac-10 was the best conference and then had a bad bowl season collectively. Of course, they were gone-after by ESPN by it. At least they are consistent.
