2010/2011 College Basketball

[Meacon Keaton]

I can't remember another year where I changed my bracket as frequently as I have this year.

Me too. I went through two brackets before I finally decided to do them in pencil, first.

This has been a very hard year to pick, any number of things could happen. I'm just hoping I got my upsets right this year.

[sahyder1]

I am not expecting to do really well with my bracket(s) this year but here it is nonetheless. Another 25 minutes left for those of you want to join one of the groups we have going.

[Meacon Keaton]

My Final Four is UNC, SDSU, Pitt, and Kansas, with UNC beating Kansas in the final. I have Belmont beating Wisconsin as my yearly "13-seed beating 4-seed upset". I'd love to see the Heels win it again this. Depends on Barnes, really.

Today is the kind of day that requires a DVR that can record four channels at the same time.

Louisville down 19-10 to Morehead State. It took Louisville around 6-7 minutes to score their first basket/points.

[naiwf]

It took all of 2 games in the real tournament before the first buzzer beater, Butler wins on a last second put back layup, and somewhere Bill Plaschke weeps as his FF team from this part of the bracket is gone

[Meacon Keaton]

...wait, what? Did Plaschke go to Old Dominion? Or did he really think they were going to the Final Four?

[naiwf]

Fuck Louisville. Every year I pick them to win at least a couple of games, and every year they shit the bed. When you're up 2 late, you do not give up a 3 pointer under any circumstances. Pitino is perhaps the most overrated coach in the game.

[sahyder1]

What a finish to the Morehead/Louisville game. Great non-call by the refs at the end. We have our first upset!

[naiwf]

Through 4 games played, we now have 3 game winners with less than 6 seconds left and 2 with less than 1 second left. Crazy.

[sahyder1]

Let me just say it right now. If Princeton somehow pulls this off I am going to throw something at someone/something. I had them picked up until late last night.

4.5% of the ESPN brackets had picked Morehead State. I had one person in my Yahoo group and one in my ESPN group pick them too.

[Meacon Keaton]

Oh, but how glorious it would be to see Kentucky and their cheating coach go home early. I know as a Rutgers boy, you have no choice but to hate Princeton. But Calipari going home after one would be just great.

Without a doubt. Anytime a big team goes down it is glorious. I will gladly rip up my bracket if it means getting some really big upsets this today and tomorrow.

[naiwf]

I'm hoping my bracket gets shot to hell this first week because it would mean that OSU, Kansas and/or UNC lost. This is one of those rare times I hope to lose a contest. Just give me a deep run by SDSU or Syracuse and I'm happy.

[naiwf]

Kentucky hits a game winner with 2 seconds left. Save some of the buzzer beaters for the rest of the tourney guys!

[sahyder1]

Kentucky is extremely fortunate to escape with a win there. Between this game and Louisville losing we would have ended up with Morehead State as the only team left from Kentucky.

Would've been great to see all the destroyed brackets though.

I'm pretty sure Knight was like 0-7 before that shot.

And now Richmond beats Vandy. How can anyone not love the Big Dance?

[phatman]

damn I really thought Penn State would get by Temple... Also I'm happy Morehead St. knocked out Louisville even though it busted my bracket lol... Been in Australia, I hadn't got a chance to catch any of the early games but sitting down and watching Florida vs UCSB right now, which is pretty boring, Florida is just hammering them... Also flicking channels and watching BYU vs Wofford, I tipped Wofford and I really hope they can end BYU, been a pretty scrappy game, both teams just trying to draw fouls on each other...

[Meacon Keaton]

I don't really want to see BYU out already. Wouldn't say 'no' to a UConn or Wisconsin loss, though.
