Live Discussion: NCAA Tournament First Round

[Shocky]

This thread is to discuss all the games on CBS. Different time zones, different games on at the same time. This is a way for everyone to keep everyone updated across the country.

Right now, this Georgia/Xavier game is coming down to the end, should be interesting.

 

[klunderbunker]

I need that Xavier game to end so UK can come on. I live two miles from Rupp Arena so i'm a bit nervous about it.

 

[Shocky]

I'm in Cincy, and I'm pretty sure they will take you to that game when it starts. I'll get UK next, but they're up 8-4 right now.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah they switched it. So far they look great but its so early. How's everyone's brackets doing so far?

 

[C.M.]

Xavier wins 73-61

 

[Cage917r]

My bracket is 3 for 3 so far, but none of the games have been ones I was not sure about, the UK/Marquette game is interesting, but I dont see either getting past the next round, so not that big of a deal when it comes to my bracket.

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm 3-3 as well but like you said it's so early. Xavier was scaring me bad. I have them in the elite 8.

 

[C.M.]

3-3 as well

 

[Shocky]

We'll find out probably after tonight. Usually I'm good after the first half of day one, then the fucking floor falls out from under neath me

 

[Cage917r]

As long as most of your Sweet 16 stays alive, and no more than 1 of your Elite 8 loses, then you have a good bracket. Obviously if one of you Final Four Teams loses, your bracket is basically garbage.

 

[Shocky]

A pool I'm in a guy had Xavier in the final four, almost shit himself at work today.

 

[Shocky]

UNLV is putting it too Kent St.

 

[C.M.]

UNLV is putting it too Kent St.

Fo Sho

13-4 UNLV

 

[Cage917r]

Kent St. will make a come back. Not that it matters, I doubt anybody has either of them beating Kansas.

 

[Frank the Frowner]

I already lost Kent State as well.

It's not like I had Georgia or Kent State going past the second, but it still doesn't exactly invoke confidence in my bracket right now.

 

[Cage917r]

Kent St. is not playing like they did in the regular season, Fisher is a great score, nothing so far. That will be my first loss, down by 19? damn oh well you aren't going to get them all right.

 

[C.M.]

25-6 Unlv

 

[RKO Orton]

Thank god for NCAA.com. Now I can watch UK-Marquette game. They were giving me Purdue-Baylor. Speaking of Purdue-Baylor, Purdue up 12.

 

[C.M.]

31-10 UNLV at halftime

 

[RKO Orton]

Pitt was on an 18-0 run before Oral Roberts got 2 free throws. Pitt up 28-15.

 

[Cage917r]

Yeah, besides for the UK/Marquette game, all the others at this point are blow outs.

 

[klunderbunker]

At least all 3 of them are the teams I picked to win them.

 

[Frank the Frowner]

As long as Marquette wins here, I'm good.

I lost Baylor too.

 

[RKO Orton]

Fuckin Baylor and Kent St. How do you only score 10 points in a half?

 

[Cage917r]

I had Kent St., but I had them losing to Kansas, so no big deal. Baylor shouldn't even be in the tournament, if you lose to a team like Colorado in your last game, your not tourny worthy, which they are showing right now.
