    I had Iowa State in the championship game. Fuck you Hoiberg, Niang, and Cyclones.

    Iowa State sucks.

    Saw the Cowboys in the MW tourney dispatching Boise and SDSU back-to-back on that crazy 'mountain' court they laid down in Vegas and why I previously mentioned them as an upset candidate.

    Screw the Cyclones. You could use a Hurricane.

    I still say Duke doesn't make the FF

    my brackets are riding on that

    I just realized I screwed up in my money pool because they did a 'seed bonus' thing where you get rewarded for picking lower seeds. I picked it regular, with only a few lower seeds winning (Texas, Ohio State, maybe one other).


    Big 12 champ loses in first round (I had them in S16) and ACC champ almost loses.

    Big 12 was the best conf in basketball. Ha, thanks RPI!

    what a great 1st half of the first day and congrats to longtime Roy assistant Jerod Haase and UAB.

    How great was the coach falling off his chair after his son nailed that 3?

    No guarantee that they will. But I just don't quite see the Zags beating a team that's already posted a win over UVA.

    Big 12's looking like the dirty dozen so far.

    Horrible refs in the Butler/Texas game. Dunham stuck his leg way out on the shot to make contact with the defender on a 3

    Blind referee calls it a defensive foul, 3 free throws

    That drives me nuts, it's amazing how the refs fall for this nonsense.

    it's supposed to be called an offensive foul and I'd understand if it's a slight leg kick or something (that the ref could miss it in that case)

    I wish this were online so I could post it. He stuck his leg all the way out as far as he could. Could not possibly have been more blatant. The announcers could not believe the horrible call.

    Texas on the brink of another early exit thanks to the gift 3 points.

    Texas underachieves as much as anyone. With as much talent they have each year, their March track record is abysmal. Barnes is a good recruiter but he can't do anything else.

    Last time they made a Sweet 16 was 7 years ago. They never won a B12 tourney under Barnes and the last regular season title was also 7 years ago.

    They were a lot more deserving than Indiana or UCLA.

    @MatthewBerryTMR: With UCLA's win, there are just 14,797 (0.12 percent) perfect brackets after only six games

    and my bracket is about finished already. This is why you can't pick the favorite to win it all. Lose a few first round games and you're already done regardless.
