Submitted by Moleskyn on

First set of games are about to begin. Other than the obvious, which game (or games) are you most looking forward to watching today?

I think Virginia - Florida is going to be a tight one and I am excited to see if FSU is legit. I know St. Bonnaventure isn't the cream of the crop, but they're a solid team capable of an upset.

Florida State's season ends today. Since I will be working while this happens I'm going to assume it's correct and look forward to seeing the Bonnies on sunday. Go Bonnies!

This SDSU and NC State game is actually really good. The Pack have been hot lately, so the Aztecs got a bit of a rough draw here. It has been back and forth with good play on both sides. In case you have only been watching Texas try to hump a doorknob, there is a good game going on.

but I am not seeing how to stream games live for free.  When I go to cbssports or ncaa.com, it's asking me to pay $3.99 to see all the games.  Aren't able to stream it for free every year?  Anyone give me a link where to do that?

Why do teams do this? Texas plays through their offensive system to get back in the game, and once they are tied, they go back to the willy nilly offense that got them in the mess in the first place.

As I can.  Primarily Creighton game right now; looking for the Midwest team to get a matchup with UNC.  Looking for Florida St. to get beat and looking for a Florida win.

New-ish thing I guess.  You're down by one but you jack up a 3-Ball for no other reason than it looks glamorous.  Well, glamorous to the shooter, I guess, because I frankly think it's assinine the way they do it.  I don't understand why the coaches allow it either, I've seen it many times now over the past few seasons.

that Georgetown is a 3 and Michigan a 4 is because the Ohio rematch. I am happy we have the 4 though cause I would rather play North Carolina than I would Kansas.

made a ill-timed call on the timeout with 2.2, sometimes you gotta let the energy of March Madness flow and let your guy go with the ball and I am surprised he didnt call the timeout with 4.5 to go to set it up. Seems like he has to live and learn but he'll probably be back, good coach all year long.
