Is the big east worse then Texas

Looking like it.

19-19 WV ties it under 7:00

by bfaut86 on Mar 19, 2010 11:45 AM CDT reply actions

WV 38-27 at half

Entertaining first half. Morgan St. very quick and pesky, but WV athleticism too much.

by bfaut86 on Mar 19, 2010 12:01 PM CDT reply actions

Slaughterfest

Ugly second half, Morgan St. out of steam. 77-48 with 1:00 left

by bfaut86 on Mar 19, 2010 1:17 PM CDT up reply actions

WV 77-50 Final

switching to Cornell over Temple 73-56 under 5:00.

Where is everybody? Working or something? Hungover?

by vy til i die on Mar 19, 2010 1:28 PM CDT reply actions

I thought they would beat 'em..

by vy til i die on Mar 19, 2010 1:29 PM CDT up reply actions

I had Temple to the Sweet 16

Sienna/Purdue starting. Anyone think Sienna capable of upset? Not me.

by bfaut86 on Mar 19, 2010 1:34 PM CDT up reply actions

didn't they beat someone a couple of years ago?

I think they might be able to only b/c Purdue will have trouble scoring as much w/o Hummell

by vy til i die on Mar 19, 2010 1:37 PM CDT up reply actions

just saw they had success past 2 years..

…beat Vandy, and then Ohio State last year…maybe they can

by vy til i die on Mar 19, 2010 1:41 PM CDT up reply actions

Looking forward to Missouri/Clemson

about to tip. I think Missouri wins big.

by bfaut86 on Mar 19, 2010 1:36 PM CDT reply actions

I have Mizzou winning..

..maybe they can avenge the Big 12 over the ACC loss yesterday

by vy til i die on Mar 19, 2010 1:41 PM CDT up reply actions

Yes

and I would look forward to seeing them playing WV on Sunday

I had Georgetown and Marquette going to the Sweet Sixteen

But my other three losses (Richmond, Texas, and Temple) were teams I had losing in the second round. But I had GU making it to the Elite Eight, so that hurts.

Still in first place in my pool, at least. Ah well. I really wish I had CBS here at the office!

Boycott Facebook. It's lame. Inform your real friends that you're going to communicate with them like a normal human being, and then delete your account. Seriously.

Would love to see Oakland pull off this game with Pitt

But unfortunately it looks like Pitt has control at this point.

Missouri up 7 with about 4:00 remaining

This has been a good game throughout.

by bfaut86 on Mar 19, 2010 3:50 PM CDT reply actions

Wisconsin / Wofford

in a good one. Wiscy up one 1 min left.

--AW--

by awiggo on Mar 19, 2010 3:59 PM CDT reply actions

The announcers just mentioned a Wofford player was 0-6 from the line

Do we have a scholarship available for a transfer?

by Hopkins Horn on Mar 19, 2010 4:01 PM CDT up reply actions

Just shipped Austin

feed from one point game to tip of Aggies game. I heart CBS.

God strike me down for saying this...

but i really like Mark Turgeon. There has been little to no “hiccup” in the transition from Gillespie to him. Helluva job he has done.

Nooooooo

No, you don't.

Yeah, I agree. At least respect. Just doesn’t choose his job’s wisely.

by Infield Elephant on Mar 19, 2010 5:21 PM CDT up reply actions

job's?

not sure how that apostrophe got in there.

by Infield Elephant on Mar 19, 2010 5:23 PM CDT up reply actions

He’s taking the jobs that are offered to him…Wichita State andTexas A&M. Has he turned any down? Anyway, he is a tenacious SOB and I love that. And he’s taking mediocre recruiting classes and overachieving and I love that too.
