cartman · 03-23-2008, 03:29 PM

Texas started looking ahead to Stanford in Houston at the 4 minute mark. They almost pissed the game away.

Jas_lov · 03-23-2008, 03:31 PM

Davidson making a game out of it, down by 4 now.

Radii · 03-23-2008, 03:32 PM

really good effort on that comeback by miami, they burned too much clock(and texas played some good perimeter D) in the last minute and just barely ran out of time.

GOGOGO BUTLER

Jas_lov · 03-23-2008, 03:40 PM

All three games within 4 points now. SD and Davidson have comeback from double digit deficits.

Jas_lov · 03-23-2008, 03:43 PM

Unbelievable. Make a point blank shot Butler!

sterlingice · 03-23-2008, 03:43 PM

This is the first game where I've seen the refs be really biased so far. Quite a bit of uneven officiating in the tourney but this one is strongly in favor of Tennessee.

See above. It's hard when you're getting smacked around, going to the hoop.

Jas_lov · 03-23-2008, 03:46 PM

Tie game! Tennessee ball, Butler has no timeouts!

sterlingice · 03-23-2008, 03:47 PM

This is what I love about the first weekend and why there's nothing else like the tourney: "Well, this game is going to break. Here's another one that's close until we get back from break"

SI

Jas_lov · 03-23-2008, 03:48 PM

TRAVEL! Butler ball!

ThunderingHERD · 03-23-2008, 03:49 PM

I picked 2 double-digit seeds to make the sweet 16: Davidson & WKU.

Radii · 03-23-2008, 03:51 PM

all these games were 10 point games like 20 minutes ago. this is AWESOME.

Jas_lov · 03-23-2008, 03:51 PM

Georgetown shooting 61% to Davidson 35%, but it's still tied.

ThunderingHERD · 03-23-2008, 03:51 PM

OMG!!!

Jas_lov · 03-23-2008, 03:52 PM

Oh my God Curry.

Radii · 03-23-2008, 03:52 PM

jesus christ stephen curry....

bhlloy · 03-23-2008, 03:54 PM

That looked like a stone-cold foul at the end of regulation in the Butler-Tenn, but I would have to see it again. It's a brave ref that calls that foul after the travel call 2 seconds earlier I guess...

mauchow · 03-23-2008, 03:55 PM

I'm giggling right now. I'm giggling SO FREAKIN' hard.

This is just an amazing afternoon right now.

And Tennessee continues to get lucky as the refs didn't call a charge on that sequence. Unreal. Missed a few fouls. If Butler loses, I'm gonna be slightly pissed.. At least the Vols missed BOTH free throws. LOL

mauchow · 03-23-2008, 03:55 PM

BUTLER LEADS! 1:30 to go.

mauchow · 03-23-2008, 03:55 PM

Tied again, 1:20 to go. butler ball

mauchow · 03-23-2008, 03:56 PM

mauchow · 03-23-2008, 03:57 PM

Tenn up 2 again. Butler turned it over prior to that possession. 40 seconds to go.

Jas_lov · 03-23-2008, 03:57 PM

Nice block.

mauchow · 03-23-2008, 03:57 PM

What a crazy possession there! OMG! A huge block from Tennessee, I'd like to see replays to confirm it wasn't goaltending, damn. Tennessee ball 30 seconds left.

Back to Davidson's game. LOL

mauchow · 03-23-2008, 03:58 PM

Hibbert misses the FRONT END of the bonus! Davidson ball! YESSSS!

How many views of Curry's dad will we see in the final minutes?

Radii · 03-23-2008, 03:59 PM

Butler really, really should be winning here. Green is trying way too hard and making some very stupid mistakes.

Jas_lov · 03-23-2008, 03:59 PM

Don't foul while he's shooting! This might be over.

mauchow · 03-23-2008, 03:59 PM

Davidson up 7 after Curry's 3 was blocked, his own player was on way to rim, got it layed it in! WOW!

mauchow · 03-23-2008, 03:59 PM

Gerogetown answers back with a 3 but Davidson answers with 2 more.

mauchow · 03-23-2008, 04:02 PM

Pure insanity!

mauchow · 03-23-2008, 04:02 PM

Still a small chance for Butler, down 3 with 5 secodns to go, still shooting one more free throw. Dunno why I'm updating here as I'm sure everyone is watching. L OL

Jas_lov · 03-23-2008, 04:03 PM

That'll wrap it up. Good effort Butler. Switch the the Georgetown game please.

Eaglesfan27 · 03-23-2008, 04:03 PM

Congrats on the win refs, I mean Tennessee.

mauchow · 03-23-2008, 04:03 PM

wtf just happened? they cut out mid-rebound and a whistle blown. the call better not have been on butler for crying out loud.

mauchow · 03-23-2008, 04:04 PM

dumb. ah, well, at least davidson's winning by 4 with 23 to go.

Jas_lov · 03-23-2008, 04:04 PM

I can't believe Georgetown blew it. 17 point lead. My 2nd elite 8 team falls.

mauchow · 03-23-2008, 04:08 PM

Wisconsin gets to face another double digit seed on its way to the Championship.

edit to add: The officiating was inconsistent, but not one-sided. They called ticky tack early, called a lot less late. But when the fouls are dead even & the FT's are within one (and then only because one team had to take a couple of fouls late) then you can take your whining & shove it up your ass.

Buccaneer · 03-23-2008, 04:15 PM

I just saw that Georgetown got beat. That makes me very, very happy.

damn, if UNC wasn't playing in 5 minutes i would be really excited to see the rest of this Miss State/Memphis game.

Yeah this could wind up being even crazier than it has been so far. What like 30 blocks in the first few minutes.

Buccaneer · 03-23-2008, 04:40 PM

Since I have rarely had a dog in the March Madness fight, there is usually one team that I end up rooting for, for various reasons. This year it is Washington State. Here's why (from our local columnist):

Quote:

Washington State's Cougars embrace basketball's great virtues. They emphasize defense and passing. They have no use for the empty brand of showmanship that belongs in a circus.

Izulde · 03-23-2008, 04:45 PM

Damn it, Arkansas is starting off like absolute shit.

MJ4H · 03-23-2008, 04:51 PM

No if NC continues shooting like that you might as well change the channel.

Jas_lov · 03-23-2008, 04:52 PM

Louisville looking good early vs. Oklahoma.

MJ4H · 03-23-2008, 04:55 PM

Horrific. No empty trips for UNC. Missed a couple of shots now but rebounded and scored after each.

Sigh. Bad time to play our stupidest ever and miss every shot.
