Dammit, I have Nova going out next round anyway, so a loss would have helped.

Same, to St Marys.

That was some of the worst officiating I've ever seen. Villanova won because of the refs, no doubt about it.

The foul on the jump ball was bad but Nova didn't score and refs called a make up call the next time down. Not the refs fault RM blew an 8 pt lead with 3 mins left.

The jump ball with a minute or so left in regulation that was called a foul on RM was a pretty awful call. Nova was allowed to play extremely aggressive defense in the 2nd half, while every little contact was called on RM.

St. Mary's really is fun to watch.

31 rebounds for St. Mary's to 9 for Richmond. It's hilarious to watch.

St Marys looking good, off to a great start in my pools. Fact that Richmond is already in double bonus is great.

 

Gaels need to hang on and beat Nova in rd 2.

f*** you spiders

Richmond is very close to getting throttled.

This will be my first big loss.

 

 

And not the last.

My only loss is Vandy, though I have them thru to the Sweet 16. Will be 6-1 after these two games hold....need Butler coming up.

I've never seen a team not even hit rim on layup after layup attempt. Dan Geriot out is big, but this is absurd for Richmond.

Wouldn't be surprised if St. Marys beats Villanova.

I'm extremely happy I convinced myself to take Marys over Nova.

 

But I have Baylor beating either so no big deal if they don't.

 

On another note, I don't know if Baylor played bad or Sam Houston is good but they could be in for another nail biter with ODU.

I believe that is what I have in my bracket. St. Mary's is good.

Check that, I stuck with Nova. And glad they won cause I forgot I have them taking down the Dukies. I guess the bright side is, they have had there scare and Scotty Reynolds should play significantly better.

So much for my Siena upset.

In old news, Kramer is a douche.

Seriously, how was that not a technical on him?

What would the call be? A heads up play by throwing the ball off an opponent and then not saying anything while the guy tried to come after him? I hate the guy too, but there was zero foul there whatsoever.

Agree, but he still had that s***ty grin like he just made the guy his b**** or something. Can't stand him.

I love when bad basketball players are cocky as hell. Also, Purdue is really lucky the game is being reffed the way it is. Their foul on every single possession of the game defense is working beautifully.

Taunting

I just had a feeling that there was no way the games today were going to be good after we got so spoiled yesterday. With over half the games yesterday decided by less than 3 points, I'll be surprised if there's 3 games decided by less than that margin.

I have Louisville upsetting Duke. Duke's played nobody toward the end of the year and won a couple of real close games in the ACC Tournament. I think Pitino and Louisville's tough schedule (notwithstanding the Big East's demise thus far this tournament) could cause the upset.
