I’m nitpicking or whatever, but I wish they would put two games on every time slot. They could be afraid of Kansas and Baylor both blowing out their respective opponent, so that’s why they have three games on at that time.

They've done that 1-2-3-2 setup forever
I can’t explain it. Why not just have two “morning” venues and two “evening” venues? Why would you ever make a one-off national game when you don’t have to? If the game’s a blowout, you lose viewers for no reason.

He’s opting to go without Antonio Pena in the starting lineup. That’s different because he has started just about every game, I think. He didn’t score against Robert Morris, so that could be a small reason at least.

I’m glad I picked Saint Mary’s to reach the Sweet 16.

He left when Saint Mary’s had a 17-11 lead. Villanova scores six straight points and he comes back in. Saint Mary’s then goes on a 10-2 run.

Shawn Spencer: "There’s no way I’m saying that."
Wow
Ball is knocked out of Samhan’s hands, bounces off the foot of a Villanova player just before he falls out of bounds right to another Villanova player. Over to the other end, bad pass bounces off the Villanova defender, hits the ref instead of going out of bounds, and again bounces straight to a Villanove player who’s standing right at the three-point line.
That’s officially the luckiest play I’ve ever seen.

I guess that’s the problem with the tournament. These are the only games I’ve seen the Big East play (except Cal-Syracuse), and they have looked extremely unimpressive.
Exit, Pursued By A Bear
Syracuse, WVU, and Georgetown are the true class of the Big East. Obviously the Hoyas looked terrible, but I think that game was the perfect storm. Ohio played the game of their lives and G-town had a bad game. Marquette, Villanova, Notre Dame are kind of middling. I don’t really believe in Pitt, but they can play well in stretches.

Again, NOT a prediction, the odds remain very, very long. If Cal can do the double on Duke, though, then it will be hard not to look ahead going into next weekend.

Duke
is a formidable challenge, but think bears can stay with them. play ultra efficient offense, Randle and Christopher are hot right now.
Duke
When I look at them, our biggest challenge will probably be their big man by the name of Brian Zoubek. He’s seven-foot-two. He’s not really a threat offensively, but we need to keep him off the glass. They have two other big men, Miles Plumlee and Lance Thomas, that Jamal Boykin can deal with. Kyle Singler, Nolan Smith and Jon Scheyer are not athletic. Robertson can stay with Singler, Christopher is bigger than Smith and Randle should be fine against Scheyer since Scheyer won’t use the height to his advantage.

Saint Mary's-Baylor
If that is the game in the third round, which it more than likely will be, it will be interesting. I wonder how Saint Mary’s and their young guards will Tweety Carter and LaceDarius Dunn of Baylor. Also, Omar Samhan will be tested this time. Baylor has a really good big man by the name of Ekpe Udoh. Udoh had 20 points and 13 rebounds against Sam Houston State and averages 14 points and 10 rebounds on the season. Also, 3.8 blocks is very impressive.

Yikes
The pressure is really getting to Northern Iowa. They can’t even secure possession once they get the ball in if they even can get the ball in.

Yeah, but we have Duke to beat up on, hopefully. Harder draw for us, but I’m happy for Washington.

Is this’ll wake up Duke to the thought of an upset. Hopefully we can bring our A game again.

I found time to facepalm at that. Anyway, rooting hard for you guys tomorrow!

Go Udub!

I don't care
I know the truth.
Washington won the tournament, which gets them the automatic bid. And as everyone is finding out, they’re a pretty good team.
But we won the conference.
What is awesome about this upset
Is that my bracket with Cal winning it all is now the most viable! Go Bears!
Dang, you're quick
I LOL’d.

I don’t care who wins the Brigham Young-Kansas State game, but I’d absolutely love Wake Forest over Kentucky.

ESPN’s #1 bracket has the entire sweet 16 still intact and has NIU and Butler going to the final four. It’s that kind of year!

I remember when George Mason made the final four something like four people nationwide got it right on ESPN

Meh
I picked KU in my CGB bracket although I DID pick Cal to win in the first round unlike some people. Twist
Interesting that DC Trojan turns out to be a more loyal Cal supporter than Twist.

If Wake beats Kentucky… Could we see Cornell in the Elite Eight?

If Cornell can hang with Kansas they could hang with Kentucky.

This. It’s been a down year for everyone big. Kansas was the most complete team. Anyone has a chance now.

I’ve been out and about pretty much the entire last 32 hours, so I’ve spent the last half hour or so reading through all of the various post game comments. Few things give me a better feeling than reading all of the reveling comments after a particularly satisfying win – it’s great fun to relive it through CGB. Man I love basketball.
