Akron vs Northwestern (and other games) open thread
If you can pry yourself away from the "First Round" game, switch over to ESPN2 to pull for the B1G.
Northwestern up 42 to 34 at the half.
Edit: Certainly don't need multiple threads for tonights games.... Probably don't even need one thread for tonights games.... Perhaps we should turn this into a "What are you drinking for the first round of the tournament" open thread......
Edit 2: Title revised to highlight the Northwestern game. Congrats to Iowa for the hard fought victory in their own arena despite being the 7 seed and Dayton being the 2.
Go UD!!! (I am a student there)
So did Iowa get to be the home team because Dayton's arena is hosting the First Four games? If so that's crap.

Just when you thought nothing could get worse than their football unis, you have to watch a game on Oregon's basketball court. Blech. Can't decide if it's worse than watching a home football game at Boise State...
Watched the second half of the Northwestern game. It looked for awhile like the Wildcats were going to let another game slip away, but they were able to pull this one out in the end. It was two mediocre teams fighting for redemption after losing out on their chances for the NCAA tournament. Welsh-Ryan was pretty full, but there were still some empty spots in the bleachers. I did get a kick out of the camera shots of the guy reading a book while the game was playing.
