    I figured since there wasn't one yet to just start one. I'm sure not many people are watching this game right now but it's actually been a good one.
  • SportsAndLady
    It's been good..which was surprising since it's Liberty/NCA&T
  • Mulva
    I'm looking forward to game 2.

    O most definitely. I think both the late game tonight and tomorrow will be great ones. I could also any of them pulling the upset in round 1(I refuse to call it round 2).
  • Laley23
    Ive got both play-ins winning their next game, whoever it is.

    But Im watching Bobby Morris vs UK. Couldnt give a shit about 16s playing lol

    Also, figured I would post it here. Statistical breakdown of chances in the tourney (region by region).

    Guy has been very accurate in the past.

    What's their obsession w/ Florida?

    I dunno. I think all their other regions are pretty accurate though. Im assuming Floridas might be skewed because of their crazy PPG differential. I think it is #1 at close to 20 per game.

    EDIT: Or they think KU sucks ass.

    I might watch tomorrow to see what IU is dealing with...But even that is a 50/50 shot haha

    I think tomorrows 16 seeds will probably be a lot more interesting than these two are.
  • Mulva
    I'll definitely watch the 16s game tomorrow. James Madison is pretty talented as far as 16 seeds go.

    Yeah Im not gonna lie when Duke was still projected as a 1 seed they had them playing James Madison... made me a little nervous just thinking about it haha.

    Damn this game got interesting fast... really thought Liberty was going to get that steal...

    A&T survives after missing the front end of a 1&1... Feel really bad for that dude who missed and took that terrible last shot for Liberty he had a great game.

    If this game is any indication of what the tournament's going to be like, we're in for a helluva ride :thumbup:

    For sure haha my fiance was like why are we even watching this it doesn't matter any when A&T was up by 10 with like 2:30 left. Then when Liberty came back and A&T missed the free throw she was like holy shit! I was like welcome to March Madness.

    Haha it was more they have them w/ the 3rd best chance to win the title..not so much they're favorited over KU.
  • Mulva
    This first half has sucked. Middle Tennessee looks like someone that only beat 1 top-100 team.

    Invalid because Florida has 0% chance of winning. :thumbdown:

    The whole thing is jacked up. What a joke of statistical analysis.
  • wildcats20
    Middle Tennessee is getting the short end of the stick with the officiating. Very inconsistent.

    Its been more than inconsistent. Its been one sided. MTSU cant get a call on a drive, and SM is getting one every other time.

    Should have been an and 1 for Middle Tenn. And then moving screen on St. Mary's.
