I was pretty sure Chandler Fuckface would nail a three at the buzzer to beat them.

I had ODU, BYU, and Nova. Although I have Nova losing in the second round, so I was rooting for their demise. In the current games I have Murray St. over Vandy, Baylor over Sam Houston, and whoever over North Texas

for the Wake-Texas game? First team to make 2, 3-pointers wins! Also why are today and tomorrow not national holidays? Who is actually working? I’d rather have these two days off than thanksgiving. Yay, I have free vacation at the end of november!!!

Vandy, i noted that M State had one only one NCAA game. i immediately knew who they beat and when they beat them. it was none other that our beloved Wolfpack in 1988. Corch was a freshman. our Shack didn’t show up to play-not unusual for him.
back then public television picked up games and one in Northern Va. picked up this game. during the game the station asked for donations to help pay for the cost. i was about to give, realized State was going to lose, and then didn’t. what a bum i was. :-(
haven’t things improved tremendously with regard to one being able to see games?

Shack left for the pros and Avie Lester took over at center. State won the conference regular season but failed to show up for their tournament first round game against a terrible Maryland team and got crushed. however, State went to the sweet sixteen beating Iowa or Iowa State who was picked to win. Rodney Monroe, in the second half, just kept making one incredible shot after another to lead State to victory. State then played Georgetown in the sweet sixteen. in that game, as SFN has pointed out more than once, referee Hightower made a horrible call on a Corch basket which would have brought State to within one i think. State lost after that.
what happened in 1990?
scandal and probation becasue State players sold their issued tennis shoes. that coupled with transgressions such as Washburn getting into school began the downfall of State basketball.
what happened in 1991?
Les Robinson became coach and State had a good season. State played back to back games with UNC due to the first game being canceled in respect of the start of the Gulf Coast war. State won at home, and UNC won at home. i watched the team play at Cole field house against i think New Mexico or New Mexico State in the first round of the NCAA tournament, and then lose to Oklahoma State in the second game when Corch got into serious foul trouble and Monroe, who was ice, melted. that was an interesting game. i watched Oklahoma State players grab Monroe’s jersey and hold him a number of times when he ran through the lane. hard to get open for a good shot when that happens. by the way State got crushed in the ACC tournament by Duke in the semi-finals.

giving georgetown the business. Ohio was a 9 seed in the MAC tournament and won. How did they even get a 14 seed?

with them, ND, and Nova, the big east was way overseeded in this tournament.

were my two biggest hits yesterday. I had both in the sweet 16 so it doesn’t hurt too bad.

There were some real quality games yesterday. I can’t help but enjoy the big east taking a beating, although their best teams don’t play until today. I’m really interested to see how FSU and Clemson play. I think FSU beats Gonzaga. I just have not been impressed by Gonzaga at all this year. It will be a close game, because FSU can defend anyone. FSU needs to use their size to get high % shots. Clemson against Missourri will just be an exhausting game to watch.

up 10-1 on WVU. There is a distinct trend this tourney of the little guy getting off to a quick start. I am anxious to see if all the big east bashing fires up the big east teams playing today or makes them tight (or it could have no effect at all).
