I'm at work until 11:30,

I love today
but it also makes my heart hurt that my beloved Tide isn’t participating yet again. Hopefully Coach Grant is burning up the recruiting trails right now.
You may want to refrain...
…from using the term ‘trail’ on this site today….

Back to the subject at hand...
…wow, Robert Morris with a early lead on ‘Nova? That won’t hold up.
It's not what you've done but what you are doing that matters.
RM is playing inspired defense
I love that. And I have Nova going out in the Sweet 16 anyway, so I’m fine with them losing.
LOL
I’m more damned then, I had them as an elite 8 team.

by AlabamaJammer on Mar 18, 2010 12:48 PM CDT up reply actions
so far it is.....
If nova loses this…my bracket is screwed.
Lane Kiffin took the meaning of "Volunteer" WAY too seriously....
I have Baylor taking them out.
Plus, I forgot to pick them somehow in my daily game, so I’d be ecstatic if they lose.
Misses the front end.
ND down 3 with 25 to play.
Florida just took a 4-point lead
with a minute to go.
Cut to 3 now
8m mark
It's not what you've done but what you are doing that matters.

And Florida up 74-73 at the line
40.2 to play.
thank goodness I have Baylor punk’n them in the round of 32.

Florida misses the last shot.
BYU rebound, they’re going to review to see how much time was left when BYU called timeout.
OT?

I know Iowa State lost as a 2
many years ago, when Marcus Fizer was there.

RMU turns it over
and Nova gets another BS call as they were kicking it out of bounds. The refs refuse to let Nova lose this one.
this time last year
I was in my car driving to Gatlinburg, TN for a romantic vaycay with my BF who has no interest in this stuff. lol all weekend trying my best to check scores!
Wow, MMOD
has stopped showing the Nova game for no reason. It’s tied with 1:34 to play
Nova gets sent to the line
for the 4th time in the last 5 posessions.
Jesus,
RMU & Nova are tied under a minute and they won’t switch games.
this is
criminal!! they missed the end of the ODU WIN TOO!!
by Spooky112483 on Mar 18, 2010 1:47 PM CDT up reply actions
that's tied too?

In the last 8 minutes
Nova has hit 2 field goals and 12 free throws. And they miss the last shot, but there’s .9 left.
BYU putting distance between them and Florida
…sorry, Gators.
It's not what you've done but what you are doing that matters.
Overtime for RMU and Nova
consider this done. I don’t think RMU will be able to field 5 guys for much longer.
Hell, they may not score a point.

RMU steal
down 4 with the ball and 2:12 to play.
ot
dont know if ya’ll talked about this but did anyone hear that douche bag greg doyle from cbssports.com on the roundtable yesterday call CNS a “despicable human being”? I think he forgot who he was talking to and I was proud of Dunnaway for stcking up for CNS.

RMU coach is about to get tossed.
Easy jump ball call, but the refs had to call a foul.
RMU hits two free throws
then gets a steal, 68-67 Nova.. 35.5 to play.
Huge 3, from 25 feet.
RMU cuts it to 1. Nova at the line, 9.1
DAMN!

Vandy down at halftime
Murray St impressed alot of the talking heads… so far they’ve been getting it done

Vandy gets a steal

I hate cheering against the SEC, but this was one of my upset specials...

DAMN IT!
That completely screwed me. Out of the three I filled out not once did I take Murray State. hell, I had Vandy getting to the final four in one of them. I was doing so well until then, too!
Roll Bama Roll - The Champagne of Bama Blogs.
Vandy to the final four? Really?
Did you watch much basketball this year??
Lane Kiffin took the meaning of "Volunteer" WAY too seriously....
apparently not....
…and with Georgetown, Marquette, and UTEP all losing I’m completely fucked.

oh i picked all those teams
including Vandy to win….but i didn’t have Vandy going past the next round.
Lane Kiffin took the meaning of "Volunteer" WAY too seriously....
Cool Stat
The first 4 games of the Tournament have been decided by 12 points combined.
Okay, how much does my local affiliate suck?
They had a local halftime show that involved showing the same five K State-North Texas replays over and over. They missed the ending of the Murray State-Vandy game (a true buzzer-beater). AND, they missed the first 1:30 of the second half of the damn game.
Heh
Dennis Clemente of Kansas State is mopping the floor after his teammate hit the deck.
Georgetown is losing to Ohio?
Great, there goes an elite 8 team… :(
It's not what you've done but what you are doing that matters.
Hey!
Anybody out there watching UT trying to lose to SDSU? Anyone?
