It's early, but it's nice to be there for however long it may last. If memory serves, I've missed on G-town & the Spiders.
Work can wait!!

It appeared to me that Texas got a gift on their last possession in regulation.

Well, now you are 13-3 and you are still tied for first with one other person...but now that person is me.

Hope I don't crash and burn today. Virginia representing in the Tournament Challenge!!!!!!!!

Did they expand to 96 already?

Don't forget to include UCLA in that bracket!

There must be a fifth region in the NCAA tournament that they're keeping a secret? This may be the first year that there is a Final Five ©.

Doesn't the NCAA have a rule where if you win the tournament you get a five-year exemption. Wait? That's golf. Nevermind.

I had Temple going to the Sweet Sixteen. It's a good thing that I officiate better than I pick NCAA winners.

Worked Special Olympics Unified Games today. I have this warm feeling inside. Maybe I have a temperature? Maybe I've got the H2N1 Swine Flu? Don't get too close to your monitor. You may catch it.

Is this just your opinion or is there somewhere we can go to verify this?

geez what a boring day compared to yesterday. too many ads and the games aren't fun. Hardly watched at all.

Has a coach gotten a Tech yet? I saw a double T Marq-Wash game that was kind of standard but any big blow-up yet? Nice of the refs passing on T's to the Robert Morris team after questionable calls.

I've been told by evaluators that, for some strange reason, I do my best officiating when I wear my black jersey with the white stripes. For some odd reason, I don't seem to officiate as well when I wear my white jersey with the black stripes.

Well, it only took 2 games for us to fall back to the pack.

Sometimes the key to winning a group is to have the right matchup at the end and to correctly pick the winner of the final. I am sure many have Kansas over Kentucky in the final. But if it ends up being a different combo, there are fewer with the chance to win. I think I was the only one with UConn over UNC last year and I would have won had the score been reversed.

Do you have UConn over NC this yr too? Bwahahahaha!

PS - thanks for hooking me up yesterday, my bracket doesn't suck too bad.....yet. I'm in the upper part of the pack! But, it's early yet.

Couldn't find the NIT bracket. Maybe, BillyMac or BktBallRef did, though.

Or maybe the NCAAW bracket. I think the NIT bracket would be more entertaining to fill out, though.
