First two teams to advance...

 

Manhattan with a blow out win over FLORIDA, and Texas Tech with a convincing win over Charlotte.

MD UTEP tied at 72 with less than 4 minutes to play

Maryland wins a nip and tuck game with UTEP 86-83 with some really questionable calls going there way in the last couple minutes of the game.

UTEP got no breaks and still almost pulled it off.

just got home, didn't see any of the games, but i'm 3-0 so far

VCU leading Wake 37-34 at the half. Bama leads SIU 46-38 with 14 minutes to play.

Alabama is shooting lights out yet the Dawgs are only down 6 with 13 minutes left.

 

Crappy no call just before the half cost SIU.

Here comes SIU. Only down 4 w/ about 6 minutes left.

let's go salukis!

down 3 w/ 3 minutes left.

It turns out here in Valpo, they will not broadcast the Valpo game because damned DePaul is playing at the same time. CBS would not allow our local cable company to carry it because of Direct TV's package for the tourney. Now I have to listen to the game. :fyou CBS and DePaul.

SIU within one, under 3 minutes to play.

Whoa! 5 seconds to go, SIU down by 1 again after both teams hit shots.

This is what march madness is all about!

SIU fouled

 

Edit: they had a foul to give.

and SIU loses by one, awesome game though.

Damn it! I went to get my pizza out of the oven and I missed the ending.

Damn. Great comeback from Southern. now how big was the s*** call before the half that led to the Bama 3?

I'm 2-2 now. I'm screwed if Syracuse loses. I got them in the Final Four.

 

Meanwhile, VCU is giving Wake Forest a game.

I have BYU winning that game... Cuse is way too inconsistant to make a run this year. They have no superstar to carry them.

Yeah, I find myself cheering for the underdogs too even if I pick against them. I just can't get myself to cheer for the ACC.
