I root for two teams, Mason and whoever plays vcu.

Upset special of the day?

Or will today balance out the upsets from yesterday?

Kansas making their traditional early round exit?

I've got Buffalo over West Virginia in a couple brackets. Probably won't happen - I haven't hit on an upset pick yet.

I have that too. I haven't hit any upsets either, because I picked EWU over Gtown and SFA over Utah, and both lost. I am hoping that Buffalo and Valpo will help me out.

Can you put some sort of warning in there the next time you post a link to a picture like that...

And the fun out of it?

So I guess it is over when the fat guy sings.

I would just like to say for the record that today I love Ohio State.

I don't think I'm going to listen to any of the pundits when I fill out my bracket(s) next year. I picked EWU and SFA in a bracket or two based on buzz I heard in the media.

As far as high high seeds I had Iowa State going deep in a couple brackets. I think I heard some espn radio personality going gaga over them and it swayed me.

Of course, I tell myself every year I'm not going to listen to the pundits any more.

Why did you have to post that pic? I almost lost my lunch!

Stephen F. Austin has looked good all season, so that was a surprise in my opinion.

Georgetown had a "track record" of choking in recent years, so history has to be broken sometime.

I picked against too many Big East teams in the first round, and I had ISU going to the Sweet 16 too.

Will Wade has turned down the offer from UNCC. Could he be more interested in an A10 job?

 

[dr. gunnie]

Interesting.

He's only making $198,000 at UTC. The Charlotte job was paying Major $450,000 to $600,000 depending on incentives. Wade is supposed to have a good team coming back.

I wouldn't mind a new job with a bump like that!

 

[Pikapppatri8]

Who the hell turns down a pay bump like that!!! Unless - Edwards is offering $500,00 K??

Bobby Hurley is now available for interviews (Buffalo played great btw), and he knows Nick Nolte.

Watching so many well coached teams. So many fundamentally sound players who can use the off hand, make a 3 and a free throw, don't panic and turn it over 25 times a game under no real duress, damn! Smart substitution patterns. Intelligent use of timeouts. Defenses that work around the low post, provide room to slide through on a pick and roll, guys that get out on the three, provide help side, sacrifice, and work for the good of the team! We have had none of that. Damn, I realized just how BAD we've had it the past 4 years. Give me a smart coach who recruits fundamentally sound, smart players, has a plan, and can execute said plan, that's all I ask for. Wins will take care of themselves under those circumstances. Head cases? Selfish players? Poorly skilled? Athletes? Send them packing.

Loved Hurley's passion on the bench. He had his team ready to play. I'd take him in a heartbeat.
