might not be against Oakland, but UT's FT shooting will bite them in the Texass.
Texas held off a late charge from Oakland to win. Tennessee getting hammered by Michigan.
Of the 4 Big 10 teams that made it in with .500 records, Michigan was the program whose bid I supported. They were really good the last half of the year and most of their losses were hard luck. They kind of reminded me of CU, actually.
And I love to see Tennessee and Pearl getting torn a new one. I just wish that cheater's team hadn't gotten a bid in the first place. If I had been on the committee, I'd have said to put Bama in from the SEC over them just to send a message.

Funny how they're making it out like George Mason over Villanova is an upset. An 8 seed beat a 9. That 9 had lost 10 of its last 15 games and should have been a 12 seed in the play-in game (if selected).
Another thrilling game played at around 60 points per team, too. :boring:

Kinda funny how Gonzaga and George Mason, two of the big Cinderellas in the last few years, ended up matched up against overseeded Big East teams that either came in in the middle of total collapse (Nova) or without one of their best players (St. John's). And look! We've got David beating Goliath in the Big Dance!!!!!! :woot: Look how crazy and unpredictable March Madness is!! It's Madness, I tell ya!!!!
Almost like they planned it....
Planned Madness ... that would be a good name for a band. :rock:

Nova still did not belong in the tourney...any team that loses that much at the end of the year doesn't belong....pretty sure everyone in the nation picked them to lose that one

Both these teams deserved to be in, but oh man, the "style of play" argument is taking a beating in this A&M-Florida St game. Atrocious to watch. Almost as bad as a Wisconin game, which is saying a lot since Wisconsin is trying to set back basketball 50 years.
I don't know man, aTm is making a late push to score 50 and FSU just might get over 55. This game has had at least one entertaining play a half by each team. It's MADNESS, baby! Crazy exciting!
Yes. He said that he didn't think that fans enjoyed too many delays to dig the ball out of the peach baskets.

Yes. He said that he believed Jim Tressel when he said that he regretted not telling Smith that he was making a complete ****ing ass of himself by allowing the selection committee to **** things up that badly, that he appreciated Tressel's input in telling him that "style of play" is a ridiculous thing to site in talking about who should be in the tourney, he was going to penalize himself 1 hours' pay as a result, and that he now considered the entire matter closed.
Why all the Big East hate? They were hands-down the best conference in the country this year.

but they also have the most teams....so i get a bit angst-ridden when the opinion leaders talk about how deep the BE is. inna day, the Big 8 was sending 5 of 8 teams to the NCAA. which is the same % of 10 of 16.
SJU, NOva, Louisville....all gonzo in the first round.

Why are they calling today's games the "Second Round" of the NCAA tournament?
I thought the first two days of the tournament were the "First" round, and then the games that determine the Sweet 16 are the "second" round.

They're now officially calling those 4 hokey games in Dayton the first round, where as in the past it was called the "Opening Round". But don't you dare call it the "play-in" game, just like you can't call NFL preseason games "exhibition games". :rolling_eyes:
Right, but they actually got 11 of their teams in, which is a pretty good percentage. Yea I remember in 1988 the Big 8 had 3 of the Elite 8 teams with KU and KjSU playing in a regional final, and ended up with an all-Big 8 championship.

Both the A-10 and MWC had a chance to go 3-0 in the 2nd round but Xavier went down to Marquette and UNLV is getting blown out by 22 at the half. Good showing by the Big 12 so far going 4-1.
This is great being able to switch to whatever game you want to, whenever you want to instead of having CBS jerk you around like in years past.

They are 3-2 mizzou and a&m both went down
Because when big east teams lose to each other people say " that conference is so deep any team can beat any other" when it happens in the big 12 they say " the big 12 sucks any team can beat another"
Thanks, my bad. For some reason I though A&M won this afternoon.
There's more separation in the Big East between the first 11 and the last 5, where as in these other conferences it becomes a gray are when you get down to the middle of the pack. And the fact is that most of these BE teams are also playing pretty good non-conference schedules.

They scored 50, so in a sense it was a moral victory. As far as I'm concerned the Big XII is 4 and 1.
