From what I saw, Maryland won in an upset.

He's officiated MAC games seemingly forever.

He used to do Big East games after his NFL assignments were over, as well.

Ja Morant has scored or assisted on 31 of Murray State's 41 in the first half against Marquette.

“JA RULES!” - every uncreative headline writer.

Marquette losing five of its last six should have been a huge red flag. This team just looks lost.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2019 5:57 pm**

Is Morant over Williamson a supportable position to take?

Based solely on muted SC highlights watched at the gym, ESPN seemed to think the Murray St kid was good. Guess they got that one right.

I was being facetious with the "dominating" comment, but was legit serious in describing the refs treatment of Belmont late.

That game looked weirdly seeded from the jump - Murray state should have been the 5.

In a first round mid seed matchup always go with the best player!

I did not do that.

Finished with 55 scored or assisted. That's fucking nuts.

The winner in first three games in Jacksonville today had 79 points.

The FSU - Murray ST game is appointment viewing.

Wofford is in the zone at the appropriate time

That escalated quickly.

Posted: **Thu Mar 21, 2019 11:17 pm**

I knew Wofford was good and I totally expected them to win, but that was a barrage.

I watched the second half of the Florida/Nevada game for an embarrassingly long period of time before realizing there were two Martins...

I put a decent-sized bet on Big Ten over 10.5 wins in the tournament and might have it locked tomorrow (of course, it can all go to shit over the weekend as well).

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2019 1:43 pm**

It sadly didn't happen, but the Big East would have to have been the first conference with 4 schools to carry 0 over into the first Friday, right?

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2019 1:54 pm**

What a great headline!

UVA down 7 to Gardner-Webb. Losing to UMBC is one thing but losing to a furniture store is another.

If this keeps up, somebody is going to have to set up a suicide watch on you-know-who.

I'm torn between "this would ruin my pool" and "this would be really funny".

In my eight-person draft, I had #4 snake draft spot, so the last round gave me the choice of the four 16-seeds.

As ridiculous as it sounds, if they lose I don't know how Tony Bennett keeps his job.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2019 2:49 pm**

I just threw $100 (to win $20) on UVA to win, so they're definitely gonna lose now.

Your (semi)annual reminder that the first college basketball team I followed, DePaul, lost their opening game as a #1 seed in 1980 and 1981 *and* 1982.

I think that probably fucked me up as a sports fan even more than the Cubs did.

(Edit: They entered the tournament 26-1 or 27-1 each of those years.)

I hate Bruce Weber, so definitely enjoying this UC-Irvine upset.

I always root for the Anteaters so I can pretend I've done something special. (The whole surname thing.)

We have some good friends whose kid is a freshman at UC-Irvine. Awesome t-shirts.

You can tell them you know someone that owns* part of the school.

* - I'm not sure that's how it works, I just assume I am conferred some stake in the whole operation.

Meanwhile, the Hoos coming out strong here in the 2nd half.

Posted: **Fri Mar 22, 2019 3:29 pm**

Yeah, I expect UVA to run away here. But still have to be a little concerned they've been flat (at best) in their last three straight halves of the NCAA Tournament. Will be interesting to see how they do against what looks to be a pretty decent Oklahoma team.
