Please NMU, please!

Dino Gaudio, awful, awful coach.

Rick Barnes, somehow, even worse.

Man.

I thought Texas had a shot at knocking off Kentucky too.

What a crazy awesome day of basketball. I hope tomorrow is even crazier.

No doubt. They've been terrible since they got the #1 ranking.. I KNEW I should have went with Wake and stuck with the ACC, but I felt Texas could get it together for ONE FREAKING GAME!

Guess not.

SportsAndLady

Will they fire Barnes already? cripes

Non

they underachieve every year it seems

I bet they could do better than Barnes

I sure hope this New Mexico game don't go into overtime also. I want to go to bed!

When they kept throwing up 3's instead of going for the tie for I don't know? The last 5-6 minutes of the game with Wake turning the ball over just about every 3 possesion. DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB

I threw mine out.

I'm 9 of 15 in my official pool.

I need NMU to win, thanks to my UTEP and Marquette blunder.. (had both in the sweet 16)

I had GTown going to the Sweet 16 and losing to OSU, but I'm sure a lot of people in my pool had them going AT LEAST that far, so that shouldn't hurt me.

Steve Alford is a terrible tournament coach (remember Northwestern State when he was at Iowa?). Had to know this one would be closer than it should.

hoops23

Impressive.. Most double digit seeded teams to win on Day 1 since 1991..

LJ

Im tied for 17th and the most I can get correct is 54

I'm not sure if I've ever done worse on my picks than I have today. I guess that can be expected when 7 (maybe 8) lower seeds win. Pretty crazy day overall. It seems like every close game (other than Tenn) went the wrong way for me. Oh well, it was fun to watch.

Alford had a few good runs in the Big Ten Tournament.

Non

good defense

New Mex

Looks like New Mexico may give me a nice close out to the day and bump me to 10 of 15..

not bad considering all the upsets.

I still can't believe I forgot to hit the save button for my St. Mary's change on the Ohio Chatter pool lol.. Only have 8/15 so far on there.

Blunder.

I think Kentucky is going to have it pretty easy.

Wake stinks.

Washington is up and down but they have no defense.

New Mexico doesn't look like much.

West Virginia plays good defense but Butler has to carry them too much. They'd be undermanned big time against Kentucky.

Wisconsin is the one dangerous team, potentially with their big white guys shootings 3s.

Mulva

I'm going to be 11-5 in the only pool I paid money to enter. Lost Georgetown, who I had in the elite 8, but 7/8 Sweet 16 still in tact from the day.

I think I go 0-4 in picking 8/9 games just about every year. 0-2 again today.

Azubuike24

Temple/Cornell/Wisconsin/Wofford will be a entertain group. The winner of that may just get to the Final Four, especially because Temple and Wisconsin I think could really frustrate West Virginia.

Non

yeah that's the one game that could be tough for Kentucky, the Sweet 16 game

They have way too much for West Virginia

Fab1b

Why didn't you slow it down and set up something?

Azubuike24

Temple scares me. However, it will be interesting to see if they even get out of that group of 4.
