Sweet 16 day one

[SwatX1]

We have eight guys and you draft 12 players. Scoring only. We do a bonus 13th round where you must pick a player from a 14, 15 or 16 seed. Entry is $50.

I had the first overall pick this year and took Zion. This is our 17th year doing it. The guy who won the first year had two guys named Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade.

That sounds fun. I might set that up next year

 

[crazyduke3]

Purdue with all the momentum. Will they finish it? Tennessee was lucky to get OT but is this where their magic carpet dies?

 

[PixelDevil]

Another OT please, at this rate they'll be playing 3v3.

 

[BeerPoisoning]

Tennessee back to back OT games against B1G schools. Iowa was the best #10 seed in history probably, Purdue is legit.

Tough draw for the Vols

 

[denverexpat]

that FT motion is weird!

 

[dukiejay]

That sounds fun. I might set that up next year

It’s really fun. Something different than just brackets, too. Adds another level of excitement. We do $300 for first and $100 for second.

 

[dbav]

I like Bone and Alexander on Tennessee. Just couldn't find a rhythm in overtime.

 

[PixelDevil]

That's the Midas touch. Everything they touch they foul.

 

[pisgah101]

Man painter is hard to look at lol

 

[dbav]

Maybe they can show Keady again. I haven't seen him enough, haha.

 

[PixelDevil]

If UVA takes care of business tonight, think this is the year they finally make the ff.

 

[crazyduke3]

Tennessee is gonna look back on these missed free throws and go ooffff.

 

[PixelDevil]

So get this, Purdue is shooting better from three than they are from the ft line. Explain that one.

 

[denverexpat]

Sympathy for UT to have to go to OT on a dodgy 3pt foul call...and then cant make it happen in OT...great comeback, shame about the dubious ending

 

[pisgah101]

go Cavs

 

[BeerPoisoning]

Virginia just stamped their spot in the F4 (if they don’t tank against Oregon tonight)

They’ll light Purdue up like a Christmas tree from 3PT.

I actually had Oregon going to the Elite 8 in my bracket, haha.

 

[PixelDevil]

Virginia will handle these guys easily. Just need to beat Oregon.

 

[dukiejay]

Purdue is a really good team. They’re not rolling over for anybody. And when you have someone like Edwards anything is possible.

 

[ASAPKrzyzewski]

Nice defensive effort by both teams.

 

[denverexpat]

If that Purdue guy continues to hit 70% from 3....uva is in for a tough night! ( oregon caveat)

 

[crazyduke3]

What's up with the commentary on the Michigan game?

 

[SwatX1]

I’d like to watch these two games, but I get up at 3:45 every morning. Just can’t hang tonight!

Why???

 

[meisperplexed]

Power Outage

 

[dukegrad02]

What's up with the commentary on the Michigan game?

For a second I was baffled that they intentionally had Charles Barkley doing color commentary

 

[dukiejay]

This Michigan-Texas Tech game could be in the 40s tonight.

 

[Duke1783]

Start times for these second games are insane. UVA ORE don’t tip till 10:34! Don’t they know that people east of the Mississippi have to work tomorrow ?

 

[dbav]

This is the worst first 7 minutes of basketball I've ever seen.

 

[meisperplexed]

Whew, this Texas Tech, Michigan game is a clinic in terrible offense. Six minutes gone and it's 4-4.

Basketball is only important to people west of the Rockies. That’s why all the best teams/conferences are here on the Best Coast.

 

[dbav]

I don't understand why they have 2 games at the same time today and tomorrow. Why not run them consecutively? Seems like youd make more money that way.

 

[FearTheBeard_rivals208808]

Someone wake me up if the TT Michigan game gets interesting.

 

[Mac9192]

We talk a lot about the commentators, but I really like Brando, Bonner, and Miller.

 

[FearTheBeard_rivals208808]

Why???

He puts flaming bags of poo on all his KY fan neighbors’ front porches. Can’t be doing that in the daylight.

 

[tripleb71]

First team to 45 going to win this one

 

[chov1125]

As fun as the Purdue/Tn game was down the stretch, you must really love defense to be enjoying this Mich/TT first half

 

[denverexpat]

Its tied at 6!!! the excitement is palpable

 

[tripleb71]

6 to 6 with 10 minutes left in half. WOW

There’s UVA fans watching this game and gratifying themselves they enjoy it so much.

Is that over the line?
