Most games at half
Louisville struggling, up only 35-33 at half
USC and BC are playing a good game, 34-30 game at half
Arizona is up 5 at half in a classic 12-5 match up
Xavier seems to be in control of Portland st. winning by 10 last time I saw

Wow
Did y’all watch the Arizona game? Really excellent effort by the Wildcats. I guess they did belong in the tournament after all.

Dancing with myself
BC sure screwed me tonight. Come on Sienna – beat freaking OSU.

Arizona
Is the pick every will say they knew, but did not make, even though most though they would lose.
You are probably correct
However, I did pick them. I also pick them to lose to Wake.

Siena can't hit the side of a barn
but only down 2 with 4:00 in first half.

Both teams just so sloppy
Right now I’d kick Siena and OSU out of the dance and replace them with Tech vs. Baylor. Seriously.
Is it just me
or has the first round for the most part been kinda boring?
It doesn't matter if you win or lose, as long as you come in first.

I thought it was just me
I just haven’t been in the March Madness spirit this year, but it’s mostly because I now work full-time. I didn’t get to do as much research as I normally do when filling out my bracket.
I think maybe the parity has something to do with the boredom. What are the best storylines? I can’t even think of any good ones off the top of my head.
I think it could get exciting tomorrow and Sunday if some upsets take place. Who wouldn’t love to see Duke lose again in the 1st weekend?

The Pittsburgh-ETSU game was exciting for a while
Okie Lite last second victory was fun. UCLA-VCU pretty awesome. Dayton was fairly satisfying. And I really enjoyed the Arizona performance tonight.
I don’t know about boring. What else would you rather be doing?
ACC overrated?
lets hope the trend continues tomorrow. In Greensboro nonetheless.

yikes
I had Wake in the final 4…FAIL! (slaps forehead)
What an awful, inexplicable, and embarrassing performance by Wake Forest
I wouldn’t be surprised if there are no longer any perfect brackets already.

Great late Friday drama
Ohio St./Siena and Wisconsin/FSU
Siena could’ve won the game with 2 FTs in regulation but only 1 was made to force OT.

CBS is going crazy
switching between the Siena and Wisconsin game every 10 seconds. I’d be pissed if I was a fan of one of these teams. Nothing they can really do though. Just watch online.

What a clutch move by Hughes of Wisconsin
FSU misses desperation three. The THIRD 12 seed to upset a 5? Now that’s parity.

Siena and Ohio St. going back and forth!
Siena keeps making clutch threes. Can the Buckeyes respond with little time left?
by goingforthecorner on Mar 20, 2009 11:19 PM CDT reply actions
Siena wins!
anyone who still has a perfect bracket should get a million right now

Yes Wisconsin thank you!
Good performance by Sienna, but my bracket took a hit :(
I bet Louisville’s happy, they play sienna then Zona/CSU winner. They have to make the elite 8 at least.
ESPN confirms
After the first round, there are already ZERO perfect brackets left in their contest.

"BCS" Conference records after rd 1 (for what its worth)
Big12 (6-0)
ACC (3-4)
BigEast (6-1)
SEC (1-2)
Big Ten (4-3)
PAC10 (5-1)
And to think Pomeroy rated ACC as the best conference

Duke is such a weird team
They are annually lauded as elite but have a strange philosophy. They have lots of tweener players and shoot a lot of 3’s. They are definitely flawed, but make no mistake, Texas is going to have to come hard to beat them tomorrow. And our history with duke is not good. I heard on the radio today that the last 3 times we played duke we lost by 25+ points. Coach K runs this team like a euroteam, lots of flopping, lots of white guys, lots of 3’s.
If pittman and James catch easy fouls, we are in deep trouble. And AJ better be hitting! And we better get out in transition. The transition is the MOST important part.
The last three times
are the only three times. We have never broke 70 on them, and they had 85+ in each game.
I had
Wake, Florida St., and Illinois in the sweet 16, yet find myself inexplicably tied for second place in the BON bracket challenge. Unfathomable!
