  Last year they showed Michigan/Oklahoma over North Carolina/LSU.

  I didn't see the Murray State game Thursday, just heard the buzzer beater on the drive home from work.
  
  Butler was impressive. I think they'll win but Murray State has some good balance. They have to defend the three from Butler.

  You and most of the country will be getting OU/Tenn

  Thanks.
  
  Wow they're not showing Butler/Murray State to many. haha

  I have Murray State in the Sweet 16. Both teams are underrated. Murray State had 30 freaking wins coming in!

  Butler obvious advantage in length
  
  though Murray has some sturdy players underneath

  Yeah I know Laley, that's why I picked Murray State in the 1st round. I once had a good basketball mind tell me that a 30 win team entering the tournament should be picked no matter the seed. And I agreed that there was something to be said for that. But I think Butler is underrated like they would have been a better 2 seed than Nova. I think they're that good. It took A LOT for me to take Cuse over them. I pondered over that one for quite awhile.

  Butler should take this one, they are a very good team. I have Butler in the Sweet 16, but I had them playing Vandy, not Murray State.

  I honestly just flipped over to ESPN 2 to watch the Women's Tourny, this game is too boring for me.

  Posting from the Red Brick in Athens! GO CATS!

  I am so sick of that axe commercial.
• SQ_Crazies

  

  Off to a good start! That's what it's going to take, they have to bring MORE energy than they did in the 1st round and they're doing that so far. If they keep making shots it'll stay up.

  Devaughn Washington, 1st overall pick in June?
• SportsAndLady

  

  OU doing well, even with Armon Bassett not scoring.
  
  They're playing great defense on him.
• Footwedge

  Officials penalizing all ball blocks by blowing their whistle on both teams. I can't stand officials that do that.

  Murray State 26-22
  
  at the half
  
  I really like that team now that I see them. Billy Kennedy, the coach, and all the players seem together. Sum of their parts.

  The Bobcats running LeIso with Cooper. They need to move the ball and get open, rhythm shots or lanes to the rim.

  Yep. Not enough movement and energy. They're playing too slow.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Too much dribbling, no passing. This one's over.
• Mulva

  

  I'm really starting to dislike Freeman. Play some legitimate D you pansy.
• SQ_Crazies

  

  Yeah, I think this might get ugly--UT is playing the way OU needs to play. I hope I'm wrong, I don't want to watch a blow out.
• Non

  

  still a lot of time left
  
  8 minutes in the first half
• SQ_Crazies

  

  Cooper needs to pull up on that fast break. That's the kind of game they need to play--that's how they won the MAC tournament. Now they hesitate. That's why I feel like it isn't looking good.
• Non

  

  you don't want to get discouraged and start playing dumb
  
  Ohio looks that way right now
  
  there is so much game left and it only takes a few possessions to get back
• SportsAndLady

  

  Can we go back to John Thompson III please???
