That's why they play the game. I love this tournament.

This is pretty amazing. Only a D1 team for six years, this is their second year of NCAA tournament eligibility. Incredible.
...the bracket which I like to call my "Normal" bracket (thanks to MGoBlog) is officially ruined. Fortunately, I have three others, including a pool which is just within my family (parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc...)
As for FGCU-Georgetown, odd game statistically - FGCU had one more turnover and the same number of assists as Georgetown. Both teams were below 50% for effective FG percentage (FGCU's was higher by 6%), and Georgetown actually outrebounded FGCU.
One interesting note - Georgetown had 33 PFs. The Eagles saw the free throw line 44 times, making 30 of them. It was enough to cause further bracket chaos.

What the hell is Notre Dame wearing?

Go Fish!
San Diego State has a cakewalk to the Sweet Sixteen if they win this game against oklahoma.

Anybody know why a few of the San Diego State players are wearing long sleeves? I haven't seen that in basketball before... just those arm sleeves Allen Iverson used to wear.

It seems some non-Wisconsin fans had a little fun with Bo Ryan's Wikipedia page:

I don't see what is wrong with that Wiki entry? It all looks legit to me.

the B1G plays better football on basketball courts than on the gridiron.

Minnesota is taking advantage of UCLA's weak interior defense

and KSU already losing - that arena will be a ghost-town on Sunday.
March 22nd, 2013 at 11:12 PM ^
Could all games just end right now? Notre Dame and their new pajama-look uni's are losing. Kansas would be the first #1 seed to ever lose an opening game and if Minnesota wins it would mean the only B1G team to lose would be Wisconsin.
March 22nd, 2013 at 11:20 PM ^
I could see Minnesota in typical Minnesota fashion just lay an absolute egg in the second half.

Justin Abdelkader with the hat trick for the wings!! Free curly fries tomorrow at Detroit area Arbys!

I don't' know if anyone else caught Barkley trying to say all yesterday and today that the B1G isn't that good. But, yeah, 6-1. Barkley is turrible.
