Worth every penny

 

[CROCAT]

Marquette is a well-coached, experienced team. Our region isn't a cakewalk like some "experts" would like you to believe

After last year there are no cakewalks

No of course not.
But going into this thing given the 2 seeds, I think I'll take my chances with Marquette.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

My bracket is shot. I haven’t picked any games right. All my upset picks lost, going against Arkansas and Auburn, Michigan state. Just bad.

I'll honestly be thrilled if we get to the point that we have to worry about Marquette.

I refuse to look.

It’s a psychological game I play. I have my tickets so I don’t want to find out how much I could have saved by waiting.

I could totally see that.

When I went in 2012 in Louisville, the thought crossed my mind seeing all those people sitting around me. I had gotten them when they went on sale way early.

I bet they got them much cheaper lol.

 

[Blue_2_the_bone_rivals]

Yep, swallowed the whistle. If only UK can get those kind of calls. lol. Poor Kennesaw should have won that game at the Stripe.

Kennesaw got jobbed in the second half.

I never pick against Tom Izzo in a tossup game. When picking games you gotta go with coaches more than anything else!

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

I think I saw a stat that Izzo is now 19-5 in opening round games lol.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Iona is on fire

 

[rick64]

Iona/UConn lighting it up early.

 

[TheDude73]

Boring chalky tournament so far. Not at all what I expected.

I don't any path is easy this year. I did one of my brackets with the theme of who needs to loose to make it easier for us. Right now that bracket is fire. I like the way it shaping up. All we got to do is win .

man game have been close with upsets. What else you needing brother

Little bit I guess, you did have a 15 over a 2 yesterday and a 13 over a 4. Came within a hair of a 14 over a 3 today. I think it's been pretty exciting.

Yep, but I guess I expected a few more surprises.

 

[STL_Cat]

Exactly. Several have come down to the last shot, too. I think it's been pretty damn entertaining so far.

 

[warrior-cat]

That is how you shoot the three. IONA

 

[TheDude73]

The majority are somewhat lopsided and the higher seed is winning, that's my point. After this wacky year, I fully expected more upsets I suppose. Yeah, the 15-2 and 13-4, but I need more (just not us).

 

[SaltyCat22]

Kunkel vs. Boum - Boxing Bout, 12 Rounds

Boum +110
Kunkel -125

Leg tattoos makes Kunkel a favorite.

 

[TheDude73]

By "chalk" I meant fewer upsets than I thought there might be. I've not been able to watch many games, but that changes here shortly as wife and I are about to head to the joint to watch.

 

[ukjenning44]

Iona playing loose

Kennesaw State - Xavier didn't go the direction of the underdog today but it very well could have, it was a hell of a game. I think they've been closer than usual this year.

 

[Gaytor Hater]

Iona looking good early. Pitino is a POS but he's still one of the best coaches in the game. Called a great timeout to regroup and take the lead. Wish Cal would do the same before he's down 10 points.

True. I did watch the Norse and Houston last night, which could have been a big one. Definitely had Houston on the ropes.

 

[HenryMuto]

Lets go Iona !

Exactly. Not sure what you're looking for but I've felt like there have been a lot of really good games with some good upsets so far.

Chaos! Haha!

the more upsets we see before our game the better I feel. Seems like statically us being upset would be low if there's alot before us

It was a great timeout and his team came out with a great response. Pitino can coach his *** off still.

yesterday i was like wow these games are close.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

I think despite the lack of upsets, the games have been good.

Plus lack of upsets mean you are going to see some pretty great matchups Saturday/Sunday.

 

[TortElvisII]

Same here.

 

[UKUGA]

Iowa state can’t score. Their big men have no touch around the rim.

 

[HenryMuto]

Iowa State 2 pts first 10 mins of the 1st half
Iowa State 3 pts in the first 8 mins of the 2nd half
