***NCAA Tournament Day 1 Thread***

[JimboBBN]

I will unfortunately be working until 5, but will be back here after that to do some discussion with you fine folks. If your team is playing today, best of luck! Except you, Louisville

Go Cats! Best time if the year, y’all

 

[ThroughBlue]

Best two days of the year let’s get it

 

[JimboBBN]

PJ out for today’s game. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t worried. Hard cast on the foot. We don’t need him tonight but I will be so nervous if we don’t have him Saturday

 

[Rod Dangerfield]

Has Virginia been bounced yet?

 

[Cable.]

Rooting for Yale and Maryland starting out.

Day 3*

 

[RockChalkRally]

The opening round of the NCAA Tournament is like Christmas all over again. That being said, Bucknell and Bradley ruined my 2nd Christmas in consecutive years so f**k both of those years.

Has Virginia been bounced yet?

Yep. We lost before any of the games started.

I know you're a South Carolina fan but I imagine you couldn't get in to that school if your parents were celebrities and paid them

 

[sgrooms]

The #1 pick in the draft hasn't won a game in the tournament since KAT in 2015.

Graduated from there, 12/12/99.

Good thing I picked Marquette to win then

 

[sgrooms]

Good thing I picked Marquette to win then

Yeah, not happening.

 

[Monorojo]

LSU's motivation level when they know all these games will be washed from the record book?

 

[iowahawkeyes69]

Yeah, not happening.

Hence the wink

 

[Monorojo]

How long into the broadcast do we see Pitino

 

[Noahtogo24]

Let’s go Terps!!!

 

[sgrooms]

Jeff Capel in the studio today.

 

[5thGenJayhawk]

Leaving the office in 45min. Gonna pick up the 7 month old boy from daycare then go home to fire up the smoker, 5 slabs and a beer can chicken. Off tomorrow too. Best time of year.

LET'S GO CARDS

Wish I could say the same. Not even leaving for the KU game.

Sucks...hopefully you have a TV at work.

 

[ExitFlagger]

Sucks...hopefully you have a TV at work.

Yeah...I won't be getting much accomplished between 3 and 5.

 

[Monorojo]

Dumb turnover by the gophers into the commercial break there but they are hanging with Louisville better than I thought

 

[jhmossy]

I took a prop bet for Game 1

Richard Pitino gets lap dance by Louisville cheerleader at 500:1

 

[SpartanJD]

Cards v Gophers will be a grinder

 

[ChiTownSean]

Tell you what, it's hilarious seeing who my coworkers picked. One lady has three 15 seeds in elite eight. One dude has zero seed upsets... Good luck with that promotion, Gary

Bill Murray helping the ville kill some gopher cong....

 

[jhmossy]

Nwora looks horrible so far

 

[HRTheCard]

Nwora looks horrible so far

When he doesn't score points he refuses to play defense and box out

 

[sgrooms]

Louisville's jerseys look like the sides of their shorts are being blurred out.

 

[HRTheCard]

We look so unprepared. Pathetic.

 

[Monorojo]

I thought the ACC was supposed to be so amazing?

They should be blowing out this lowly Big Ten team by 20!

 

[ReturnOfOakboy]

LSU is a monster

 

[bignish]

Dat Yale over LSU upset not looking so hot for those that took the bait.

 

[sgrooms]

Dat Yale over LSU upset not looking so hot for those that took the bait.

What does Dattier have to do with this?

 

[Monorojo]

The only reason yale is even in the tourney is they had a practical home team over Harvard even tho they were the lower seeded team for the conference tourney

Regardless, it’s very early

 

[HRTheCard]

What a pathetic, Teddy Valentine-esque call. The ref just made himself look like a fool with that pause. It's not about you. Who cares what you called.
