PrintYesterday was amazing, start to finish. Can we do that again?
Xavier/Minnesota and Temple/Cornell have the potential to get the day off on the right foot.

Did you see the rumors
that Auburn is close to signing Tubby? That would be a really interesting move. Cornell has maintained a decent lead on Temple throughout the first half. Minnesota/Xavier looking like it has the most potential to go down to the wire.
I can't imagine
My dad is an Auburn grad, I don’t think he is even aware that Auburn has a basketball team, this is spring football season.

Cornell's having no trouble against Temple's D
I picked Temple because of that defense.
Cornell shooting over 70%…

I did too
Stupid cornell nerds, they are probably taking the derivative of Temple’s defense, setting it = 0 and finding the minimum (assuming minimum = defensive weak spot)

There sure are not very
many people at my work today. This seems to happen a lot of fridays. I’m fairly new, maybe fridays are optional and nobody told me.
I think i will hold out until at least 3
My boss and only other group member are both out today. But you never know about spies.

Well, not a whole lot of excitement
in these games. What’s your take for the 2:30 games? Will the Hummelless boilermakers go down? Can clemson get their first tourney win under purnell? Will Pitt and Wisconsin roll?
looking forward to that Clemson game
Both Tigers like to press a lot…could be a turnover extravaganza. I picked against Clemson because I can’t trust Purnell until he shows me something in March. But as with nearly every team in this league, I really don’t know what to make of Clemson, so they’ll probably do the opposite of what I expect. Wake already has that ball rolling.
I don’t see Pitt or Wisconsin having much trouble. Wofford plays solid defense…maybe they can hang for a bit. Oakland not so much.
I got Wisconsin taking out Kentucky
I had to make myself pick upsets with how up and down pretty much every team has been.
almost did the same thing but couldn't pull the trigger
I love Bo Ryan. Best coach in the country as far as I’m concerned. His teams compensate beautifully for whatever talent deficits they have by protecting the ball and controlling the defensive glass despite not being particularly big.
I picked Sienna over Purdue
I have no confidence in either team, I just went with the herd picking the upset.
I actually went against my maxim of “never pick clemson to win a tournament game” so we will see how that turns out.
Stephen
where can we get an updated list of win/loss records for each conference – figure’d you know?
Trevor Booker
with 0 shot attempts, yet clemson is in the lead by virtue of hitting 7 3 pointers already. This looks a recipe for yet another clemson collapse.
OK
what is the score of the clemson game. Gametracker has it 32-19 clemson, but when I go to the espn front page it is 28-26 clemson
Purnell
Sometimes I think he’s a great coach, other times, an awful coach.
Maybe he’s a reverse Sendek – he teaches a system that can have moderate success but its inherent limitations will prevent him from ever breaking through.
FSU's offense
is such a trainwreck.
I’m hoping GT can get a win here, but if OSU hits 3s like they can, there won’t be much GT can do.
FSU
doesn’t score 20 points in the first half – FAIL
