Memphis hanging by a thread...under 10 sec to go...Time to make free throws.
if they can keep their big matts producing....they look set to pull it off.
UNC is losing by five as I type this. I wonder if UNC and Duke have EVER lost in the first round together.
I have UNC in the Final Four. Fucking-A
Oops, I meant to reply to this but I answered this downthread instead.
1979. It was technically the second round but they both had byes in the first.
I suppose if you believe the NCAA today is also the second round.
How is that spin move not a travel? Second time he's done that today and he's taken 3 steps every time.
Bryce muthafuckin COTTON!!!
First Round MVP...Yea, I made up this award
Anybody doing the DraftStreet thing have him?
is unreal with cotton.
1:18 left, up by 3.
UNC-Providence is a heck of a game. There have been fantastic plays on both sides in the last 5 minutes.
I'm in 155th in our bracket challenge.....LMAO
In 1979 North Carolina was the 1-seed and Duke was the 2-seed, both in the East. The tournament back then had 40 teams, so seeds 1-6 got byes into the second round.
North Carolina lost in the second round to 9-seed Penn 72-71; Duke lost in the second round to 10-seed St. John's 80-78.
With only 16 of the 40 teams playing in the "first round" maybe it's fair to call those play-in games? Anyway, whatever you want to call the round that's the only time both Duke and UNC lost their first tournament game.
Fucking Providence, every fucking upset pick lately has been choking.
Right..Don't box out the shooter, good plan
Providence is going to be kicking themselves if they lose this. Their defensive rebounding has been brutal.
F*cking Tar Heels. Luck.
Both Duke and North Carolina losing on opening weekend would have been the ultimate porn.

Have to call a timeout on the miss so that the clock isn't running when you inbound it. otherwise you're just dumb.
EDIT: Well, looks like you're dumb as fuck. Catch it and call a timeout right the fuck away. Jesus, how can one's basketball IQ be so low?
That's what HAVOC can do, guys...Whoa
Yea 'Heels baby!!! March On!!
Tennessee took down UMass? We get past Texas and we go up against a double-digit seed in the sweet sixteen!

...Massey had Tennessee by one.
Sagarin had Michigan by three.
Kenpom has already updated for today's early games and he also now has Tennessee by one. They're up to #7 at kenpom, ahead of every B1G team.

Holy shit. Kentucky is going to start the game SHOOTING FREE THROWS! Before the Tip-off. Crazzzzyyyyyyy as hellllll.
Reserve dunked during warm-ups. I've actually known about this rule.

Watch Kentucky win this by one simply because of that bull shit free throw.

Wow - SFA can get a 4-point play to tie VCU!
And the band is playing "Temptation!"

Incredible. I actually hate the way fouls on jumpshots are called sometimes. If there's a count between when the ball leaves and when the contact happens that shouldn't be a foul. Get's to be too much of a judgment call I guess but I wish it was different.
