Murry St.!!!
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Bearkats winning would destroy my brackets (only have 2, but Baylor is in elite 8 of one and final 4 of the other).
I filled out 10 Brackets
I have baylor winning in all 10
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
I'm still struggling
To get over that Robert Morris loss. They were my last pick of my 8 teams in a pool with my friends.

What am I missing...
Why does everyone hate Scott Drew?

negative recruiter (targeting us), hired John Wall's AAU coach to try to bag him, etc etc
general scumbag
Ah, thanks
Reason enough for me.

What exactly does that mean?
He’s persuading players to come to his school instead of Texas by making us look bad?

Mizzou
Clemson turns the ball over a lot. Should be trouble against Mizzou

Close one
Went with Clemson. Very tough decision, though.

Can it be done?

SHSU
Making it look so easy!
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
SHSU could be up with a nice lead
if they could get anything out of their guardplay. Their 4 guards are shooting 0-14 combined.

I just don't think
You need to scream so much to get your point across. I know that as a player, being screamed at all the time would be less motivating than being talked to man to man.
That’s a funny story about Drew though.

I tried to explain that to drill sergeants for a while
But they were surprisingly resistant to my ideas.

Despise Scott Drew, but Baylor did a good job of closing the gap to finish the half down just a point.

Seems like a lot of fouls called on the Big 12 teams
Must be something to the sentiment that the Big 12 was too lax on fouls this year.

Murry St. and Vandy coming down to the Wire
Vandy Down 2 points, just under 2 minutes.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
This is awesome
I made the Murray State pick, but I only halfway believed. Very nice!
Vandy just pulled it to 64-63, Murray St. ball. There’s no double bonus yet, so I guess they might start fouling soon.

I agree
Well, most of the time I agree. I definitely would’ve sacrificed the ‘Nova game for RMU to come away with that win. And while I am sweating the Baylor game, I really do hope SHSU beats them, because Scott Drew is an enormous horse’s ass, and the whole program needs to be put in its place.

what was your logic in picking Florida over BYU? BYU was #8 in Pomeroy. Whatever your thinking was, it was pretty solid considering the game went into OT.

It is so hard for me not to pick them, even with the season they are having.
I have picked them since TJ was here, and this season I did not. I would be mad if the only season I don’t pick Texas to win it all they did, but I would quickly get over it.
