Thursday First Wave - Preview/Game Thread

• Laley23

  

  Ok, Im bored as shit and anxious for 12:20, so Im making the game threads. Need something to discuss. What do we all think of the first 4 match-ups tomorrow.
  
  Figured we could use this for in game threads as well. Keep 4 in one thread so we dont have 16 threads going tomorrow.
  
  12:15, CBS, Tampa -- West Virginia vs. Clemson
  12:40, truTV, Wash. D.C. -- Butler vs. Old Dominion
  1:40, TBS, Denver--I Louisville vs. Morehead St.
  2:10, TNT, Tucson -- Temple vs. Penn St.

  I think three of those four could go either way. I think Louisville definitely wins, but I wouldn't be surprised to see upsets in the other three. I actually picked Clemson, ODU, and Penn State. Wish I was able to watch these games live.
• Laley23

  

  I got WVU, ODU, Louisville and Penn St.
  
  I think Butler might be able to put together a really solid game, but Ive liked ODU all year and Hazell can score the ball. I also have Penn St in the Sweet 16. Playing great defense right now, and confidence is sky high. Plus, they will have the best player in the first 2 rounds, with Taylor Battle.

  Do you have any device to get the March Madness app? It is a free download and you can watch all the games live for free as well.

  I don't think Morehead State is good enough offensively to pull an upset. I think West Virginia should win comfortably too.
  
  Temple-Penn State could be a great game, or it could be horrifically ugly to watch. I actually think PSU has a pretty good shot of beating SDSU if they get through this one, and I'd favor them slightly over Temple.
  
  ODU and Butler is a classic 8/9 game. I have no idea what to expect, so I won't pretend I do.

  I'll probably be too busy to actually watch the games, but that's something I'll do if I can.

  Yeah, I gotta run camera for my TV station for a HS Regional Semi tomorrow at U. Toledo. But Ill have the app running and be checking it out during commercials. I might actually listen to it with a headphone lol.
• ironman02

  LOL. Yeah, it's gonna kill me if I don't know what's going on. It's a good thing that Carolina plays Friday night, or I'd be worthless at work, even if they are playing a #15 seed.
  
  I need to start taking vacation days on the first Thurs/Fri of the tournament.

  I'm not upset I have to work during these games, but I'll take West Virginia, Old Dominion, Louisville, and Penn State in these games.

• dave

  Took PTO days on Thursday and Friday.
  
  Let's do it.
• Laley23

  

  WTF is WVU doing. I hate losing my first game. Making a bit of a comeback, but still look bad!
• Laley23

  

  ODU bs Butler is shaping up to be a good one. Hassell is a player, and Butler wont go down easy to anyone.
• SportsAndLady

  

  WVU and Clemson is also very good...you can tell this ones gonna go down to the last shot, just has that feel.
• Laley23

  

  Yep. I thought if WVU got off to a quick start, they could win handily. That didnt happen, so Clemson will hang around. Cant wait for this Temple-PSU game!
• Laley23

  

  Not many id Majors can match up with Butlers front line. ODU is one of them. And that white boy can stroke it!
• Laley23

  

  Clemson on a bit of a surge as well. Back up 8.
• Non

  

  ODU is dialed in
• Non

  

  Clemson is scoring at will
  
  This is going to be an upset
• Laley23

  

  WVU just cant shoot, and making HORRIBLE passes.
• Non

  

  0-1
  
  damn it!
• SportsAndLady

  

  Clemson has a ridiculously quick defense..I was watching that first four game in person the other day, and you could just see how quick they get to their spots on defense. It was unreal. They are going to be a very tough out, mainly because of their defense.
