If I didn’t already have WVU beating them in the sweet sixteen, I would be very worried about my Kansas pick. The more I hear about North Dakota State, the more they scare me.

I didn’t know there were enough people living in North Dakota to have a basketball team.

I love that Gus Johnson is doing our game. He gets me pumped up. On second though it may not be good that he is doing our game considering I am already pacing around my office waiting for our game to start.

You sure it’s pacing and not prancing?

May as well already pencil in Syracuse into the second round. This team just looks better than most every other team right now. If not for the 14 hours of basketball they played Wednesday-Friday in the Big East Tournament, they may have beaten Louisville.

Jonny Flynn just broke my ankles with a crossover and I’m watching on TV.

By the way, Barack Obama got 11 of 16 right on the first day of the tournament. Well, Charley West went 14 for 16. That should tell you something…mainly something about how awesome I am.

Gus Johnson is talking a lot about NDSU “gang” rebounding. The only thing NDSU knows about gangs is… Actually, they don’t know anything about gangs.

I believe Utah State has forgotten that one of the main components of winning is scoring. Hopefully, for my bracket’s sake, they remember soon enough.

And I know how shitty it is to be cheering against the Big East, but we all know Marquette isn’t winning the national championship, so I may as well cheer for my bracket instead.

I absolutely love that the stadium in Boise is called Taco Bell Arena.

Utah State has gone scoreless for the last 4 minutes. Impressive suckitude.
by Dr. Charley West on Mar 20, 2009 1:02 PM EDT reply actions
Hooray, they scored! Don’t call it a comeback…

Ha, Utah State scores four whole consecutive points and Marquette has to take a timeout. I love it.

Kansas manages to put some distance between them an NDSU before halftime.
by Dr. Charley West on Mar 20, 2009 1:19 PM EDT reply actions
And for some reason, Utah State is only down 8 at half. If you’re Marquette, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
by Dr. Charley West on Mar 20, 2009 1:20 PM EDT reply actions
Neither team shot over 35% in the first half.

C'mon Tennessee
I hate losing these 8-9 games (thank you, Butler). I need to keep winning or Dr. West will get even MORE insufferable!
And now Marquette
is losing steam… NOOOOOO!!!!

I want them to get beat for my bracket...
but would not be devastated if they pulled out a W.

Finally
I am now back to watching the games at work. That killed me actually having to work. It also looks like I will be watching the game from my desk. My co-workers will finally see my true colors, I’m a yeller.

I can’t decide what game I want to watch right now. They are all relatively close. I’m going Tenn v. Okie St. because it is the closest to being finished.

And 1. Great D and Bruce Pearl has a decent vertical

It looks like Tenn is full of thugs. Those guys don’t look nice at all

Another And 1. Now the games are getting good. After a boring opening day this is looking much more promising. I hope the WVU game does not have this much drama. I want to coast to an easy W

I am obviously WAY behind on the actual action. Dang computers
by 5th Year Senior on Mar 20, 2009 2:32 PM EDT reply actions
Good look by Tenn. at the end but no dice. Why do kids want to shoot jump shots when a good drive would’ve done miracles

I love that the idiot ran up the the 3-point line, stopped, spun around in a circle and launched a shot with two men on him. Something tells me that the play was not drawn up like that.

You never ran that play in church ball. We did that shit all the time.

Marquette advances
Survive and advance. Big East is still looking pretty solid.
