Knock-on-would, but my Elite 8 is still in tacked.
I'm 15th right meow but OK State effs me
Can't get enough of this!
Oh my god, you have the Duke condition. Take two penicillin daily for 7 days and watch the game again to reevaluate your position. Did you shake hands with Dickie V in the past few days?
Edit: And do not forget to shower twice daily.
"hack a Polack."
Worst game ever. Seriously. OK State an go to hell for starters, followed by the officials.
What did this announcer say about the player that he keeps apologizing for?
Just got home from On The Border in Dearborn and thought about going with Cal Poly and Wichita State if for no other reason than to see if the numbers pan out in at least one game. I believe Cal Poly is a 16 or 17-point underdog and, if you look at the comparison stats, the 4% estimated chance for them to win this game seems like a generous miscalculation on paper. I mean, they turn the ball over less typically than the Shockers. That's about it.
Not a wise thing to say, but hope that it doesn't cost him his job or anything. Seems really sorry about it.

The officiating was as and as his comment.
The game was nearly unwatchable the way the officials were calling fouls with almost every possession. I'm not sure it ended up favoring either side, but it sure as hell was a slow, ugly game because of it. 61 fouls and probably at least half of them shouldn't have been called. That averages out to 39 seconds of game time per foul.
This is the longest 2 minutes ever.
What do we do about the people in the mgoblog bracket challenge that picked sparty to win.
Tar and feather
welp...this Wichita State game sucks already.
Ugh I hate doing this but another officiating blunder. Called a T on Memphis player for hanging on the rim while TWO GW players were underneath him, one with his hand on him. Such shit.
I couldn't figure that out either. Trying to see it and all I can come up with is this:
Right! "FOul...No, TWO fouls"
Or in the OK St.-Gonzaga games, the refs were probably wishing the could call 7 fouls at once.
Now and again, there is a team which makes it a mission to go out there in an early round and - too proud to let the other team do it - set themselves on fire. California Polytechnic is that team this year, from the look of things. Their effective field goal percentage is 18.52%, so hardly effective - most of the other major stats aren't promising either.
looks like they are for real and going to get revenge on Louisville.
Who do you like for upsets tonight? SF austin or Tulsa?

Does anyone else hate the Jay Wright (coach of Villanova) Dove commercial?
He angrily asks , "You are only going to ask one question?"
I hope he counts timeouts remaining better since he was actually asked two questions.
Dumb commercial.
Yeah, they're basically a one-trick pony. Beat the press and you beat them.
Bryce Cotton is a fuggin' beast. Not sure the Fryars can keep up and/or pull this off but he's working his ass off to try and help them knock UNC off.
