Game Thread: Round 1 NCAA Tournament- nonAlabama catchall

[DzynKingRTR]

That was a fun day of games. Seemed like last year was boring.

There weren't many buzzer beaters or upsets last year. The least amount since 2007 actually. I hope today there are some more. There is only one game that I hope doesn't have an upset.

 

[CajunCrimson]

I only did one. 12-4 on CBS. Lost Arkansas and Wisconsin (had the upset flipped). Lost Georgia. Lost Louisville/USF.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

I filled out some women's brackets too, I will probably do better on that because I know nothing other than UConn and USCe are really good.

 

[AlexanderFan]

Duke had a 21-6 free throw advantage to beat their 16 seed. If that ain’t some home cooking I don’t know what is.

So now the number of perfect brackets left on the ESPN Bracket Challenge is 24K. This is out of 26.5 million bracket entries.

And the first day isn’t even over yet.

I know a woman in Florida who midway thru yesterday had a perfect bracket and her rank out of 26.5 million was #1.

She posted pics to prove it.

Changed the title to add that this is a round 1 thread. I think different rounds should have their own threads.


Kentucky Santa Clara looks like a good game.

Very good game; sure wish we still had Mo D.

Wow, what a game! OT for Kentucky and Santa Clara.

Wow, what a game! OT for Kentucky and Santa Clara.

Double WOW! Back to back 3's inside 5 seconds !

 

[CajunCrimson]

That was a crazy last five seconds

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Kentucky got away with a travel

Yep; I thought that move looked off on the first replay.
Kentucky survives

Texas Tech looking good; impressive guards.
UVA trailing Wright State by 5 at the half

 

[DzynKingRTR]

I thought the zips would give Tech a better game. I guess they did for a bit, but it got out of hand quick. Tech never trailed at all

 

[BamaMoon]

UT guard can't miss from 3. They are up big on Miami of Ohio at the half.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Villanova Utah State is a good one.

 

[Joefus]

It delights me that Auburn is in the nit but this Miami team isn’t that good

 

[CB4]

Villanova Utah State is a good one.

I’ve got Utah State in this one.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

They won 31 games. Not one Quad1 game win or played against. Their 31 wins was a joke.

Double WOW! Back to back 3's inside 5 seconds !

That 3 by Oweh might have saved Mark Pope's job. I've got a good friend who's a big KY and he said there are a lot of folks not happy with him.
