NCAA Tournament: Day One - Afternoon Session

Finally!
It's here!
The NCAA Tournament is kicking off, at long last, this morning. In only a little over an hour, actually. I'm so pumped. Really, it's probably a good thing that Kansas doesn't play today. That way we can coax ourselves into March Madness, getting all excited and pumped up and stuff, before going all nervous and praying that we can just get by North Dakota State.
So, that's where we are. I'll be here all day long (thanks mom and dad!), so come on in and join me.This is your open game thread for the morning session. Post any-and-all comments here. You know the drill by now.
There will be another thread for the night session. Everyone knows where the break is, yes?

Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Whistle go woooo
Just to let you guys know, my bracket pool picks are the ones I made without any thought given to it and immediately after the brackets were put up. I just wanted to throw that disclaimer out there so when I finish in last, I can point to this comment.
Oh my GOD I’m pumped for basketball. Ain’t nothin’ like a little March Madness to put some pep in yo step.

My picks always end up like that...
even if I wait a few days…I fill that thing out in about 2 minutes and go with my gut…and what I want to happen a little bit.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Yeah
I think everyone is trying so hard to find the sleepers that they over-analyze shit to death. Like KU losing to NDSU. I seriously hope SFA stuns Syracuse, just to shut people up.

Agreed.
With three and-a-half days between when the brackets come out and when the actual games start, and nothing else to do, people just stare-and-stare-and-stare at them and say random things.
Over-analyzation always kills me, and I did it again this year. Ah, well.
It finally got to me,
just changed my champion.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
Ah man.
It’s awesome, awesome stuff. I’m exhausted, though, so I’m probably just going to cut half the trip and finish it in April. Lack of worry about when I’m driving where next means I can just cut loose the next few days.

Don't want to ruin a good trip
by worrying.
Did you ever make it through Kansas?
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
Naaah.
I wanted to wait to go through Kansas. I did hit up Memphis for some parties, but I was surprised at how weak they were. A good time, but I guess I was expecting something better, so I came back to Knoxville. The friends place I’m staying at happens to be right next door to UT’s new RBs coach Eddie Gran. Pretty interesting guy. He just moved in yesterday and felt the need to tell us his life story.

excited about picking up Bryce Brown out of Wichita?

I tried
but he really, really didn’t want to talk about it.

haha,
probably didn’t want to let how much Brown cost to slip out.

I just figured it would be an NCAA violations thing if he talked about a specific recruit, but something similar had crossed my mind.

Wow.
I was all proud of myself for waking up early for pregame, and I missed out on discussions on Tennessee’s RB’s coach and Lil’ Romeo.
Just for the record, I’ve got BYU, Memphis and Butler in this first round.
you've got to head over to RR
and read KC’s comment about Gobble. Classic.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
I found out we released Gobble
via KC’s Facebook status. And, given what I saw there, I can only imagine what will be over at RR…
(heading over to RR)
Yeah
It was a good story.

Skip Bayless is such a f'n idiot
they were asking what is the best sports day of the year….no one said NCAA tournament so they’re are all kind of morons, Wayne said Super Bowl, I can handle that….But Skip said The Masters…..what a joke.

My question is
does anyone actually enjoy listening to Bayless? I know some people get by just stirring the pot (coughKietzmancough), but Bayless is just a moron. I REALLY don’t get how he still gets paid on tv.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
seriously though
he says the stupidest crap and most of it is so blatantly stirring things up that it’s just annoying, at least other guys try to disguise it a little

In the past when I've been in pools like that,
it’s taken around 125 points to win it. Interested to see how it goes this year.

OT- Firefox question.
I’m going to assume some of you here use FF. I just upgraded to 3 recently (did it a while ago and like 2 better, so I went back).
The “one click” bookmarking pisses me off so much. When I want to check my bookmarks and click on it, it always wants to bookmark the page I’m on. Any help in avoiding that?

Here's the Deadspin preview for KU/ NDSU game
http://deadspin.com/5174934/ncaa-first-round-3-kansas-vs-14-north-dakota-state
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
From the comments at Deadspin, supposedly from NDSU's coach. Is this a legit quote?
“You look at this matchup, I don’t see how you don’t go North Dakota State right away. I’m worried about us overlooking Kansas. That is what I really stay up all night worrying about.”
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
Yes.
Obviously, it was said tongue-in-cheek, but he did say it. On the Dan Patrick Show, IIRC.
I really really like their coach. It’s the right attitude to have, IMO.
"overlooking" us
are you f’n kidding me?

So what is everyone getting locally?
Because Cal State Northridge is in the Los Angeles city limits, and I’m in the LA media market, I get CSN-Memphis.
So, that’ll be fun. I have Mega March Madness, though, so I get to pick whatever I want.
Don't know for sure,
but I’m guessing Memphis since it’s in KC.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
Well
I’m expecting to get CSN-Memphis, which will be fine because I’m probably going to be PC gaming while listening to the game anyway.

Just about to say.
The “Rock Chalk Championship” thing is super lame, but I still love it to death because of what it means.
“A Kansas comeback for the history books!”
No
I remember when we won, and he said “Rock Chalk Championship” I immediately raged hardcore. I will forever detest Jim Nantz for ruining that moment for me. Go back to golf, you bitch.

I would have been like that....
…except we had just won the freakin’ National Championship.
I was much more forgiving at that moment than I’ve ever been before.
Well
That was a huge moment for me and the one person I wanted to call, I couldn’t, so I had to take solace in what was happening on screen, and what was happening was Jim Nantz ruining it for me. And then I watched the celebration. And proceeded to watch SportsCenter ALL NIGHT and never got tired of them talking about Kansas pooninating and John Calipari pissing off the basketball gods with his arrogance towards FTs.

Eventually, the hammer drops, but it’s an absolute joy to watch until then.

Really.
I looked at every one of their matchups and never felt like they were outmatched. With the exception of a potential UNC matchup, but I think Johnny Flynn takes it right at Lawson, because Lawson can’t defend even when healthy. Onuaku will pwn Teabag, too.

Memphis is in hardcore foul trouble.
Taggart with 2, Dozier with 2, Evans with 2.
If CS-Northridge is going to do anything, now would be the time to build up a lead.
We would be totally F'd

Memphis.

This is why you always watch the 1/16s, 2/15s at first...
until it becomes a blowout.
Because when you’re watching it, even a game like this where Northridge is losing, you feel like something special could happen.
8/9 games bore me beyond belief, usually. No underdog to root your ass off for.
And
knowing that the winner of the 8/9 is most likely about to get wafflestomped in two days sucks, too.

KC tickets took a hit when Missouri and Kansas were shipped elsewhere. Tickets are readily available.

i like the concept of getting 2 seperate days for your buck
that would also have the potential for HUGE scalping implications if your team went down in their first game… kinda softens the blow a little to be able to turn around and get most of your ticket-money back

So sweet.
I really want some.
Like, really bad.
But I absolutely hate spending serious money on shoes, so I probably won’t want them when I see the price tag.
How much are they, again?
Not sure.
Just did a Google search on “Kansas Jayhawks” looking for cool pictures to post, and they popped up. I want ’em, too, though.
Could you imagine…
An RCT pickup bball game. We all show up, ready to play, and we all secretly have the same shoes. Hahaha

Northridge can't buy a three.
If they would just make some, it would be a entirely different ball game.
Butler only down 2.
that looks to be shaping up to be a really good game.
And BYU keeps on beginning to come back, cutting it to 9 points and stuff, then A&M goes on another little mini-run.
Big West
Doesn’t seem like a 15 seed level conference. They’ve got legitimate size, athleticism, and skill on the perimeter. Seem to do a good job recruiting internationally. I remember seeing Pacific in person a couple times at the tournament, and they always were really competitive.
by KennyGregoryRockThaCradle on Mar 19, 2009 12:50 PM CDT reply actions
This year was a down year, top-end wise.
The Big West had like 5 legitimate NCAA contenders, and they all beat each other up. So, all of their resumes look much worse.
But you’re right, there are some really solid teams out here. Long Beach State, Pacific, CS-Northridge and UC-Riverside (led by Jimmy Woolridge, BTW, K-State’s old coach) are all solid.

Yeah, Memphis is definitely getting destroyed sometime soon, even if it isn’t today.
They can’t do anything against a zone, because they can’t hit shots, and they don’t hustle back on D.

I'm baffled.
All of a sudden, Northridge can’t miss from three.
If it wasn’t for Sallie’s 26 points (previous career high was 13), this game might just be over right now.
Dayumm.
i don't understand this lack of D by the Tigers
i thought defense was supposed to be their calling card
It is.
Both statistically (best D by far this year) and by the eye-test (best D by far, IMO, this year).
And yet, today, they are giving up open shot after open shot to Northridge.
It has to be a motivation-type thing, where they just weren’t “up” for CSN, the 15-seed.
I’d imagine they’ll start to play harder now that they legitimately might lose, but man.
Give Cal State some credit
That point guard is sick. The big guy is more than holding his own amongst the trees.

He can hit.
Baseballs and parked cars.
He can’t go on being a catcher at the next level. And I doubt he can play outfield. So he will have to be a first basemen.
As far as college goes, he might be all-conference this year. So yes, he is the real deal at the plate.

Do you see him
making the transition to first base successfully? I don’t really follow baseball prospects until after they’re drafted. When is he eligible?

by SlamDunkTheFunk on Mar 19, 2009 1:36 PM CDT up reply actions
I've never seen him play anywhere but catcher,
so I really don’t know if he can play first or outfield.
He was draft eligable last year and was passed over. Although that could be for a lot of reasons so I shouldn’t speculate.
His OPS over the last thee years
Freshman .738
Sophomore .858
Junior .817
Those number would make him a good prospect if he could stick at catcher. I kinda doubt he can do that. We’ll see. He has worked hard the last two years improving his throwing and defense. Maybe he can pull it off.

One of my rules of thumb, in close matches alway lean east.
This year I have another new rule of thumb. Big-10 teams suck. I only have Michigan State, Michagan and Illinois winning round one, and only Michigan State getting into the sweet round.
www.rockchalktalk.com for pretty good KU baseball coverage
I'm opposite on the Big 10.
Sure, their games suck, and are boring to watch. But, that slow, methodical, milk-it style of play, I think lends well to the tournament. You go up against a team that isn’t used to that, and you can really pick ‘em apart. Purdue is looking great already. I have them in the Sweet 16. I’m high on Big 10 teams in the tourney, but totally anti Big 10 vs. Big 10 in conference play.

Come into the tournament as a favorite. Blow the crap out of an overmatched 16 seed. Immediately become the Greatest Team Ever. Suddenly face actual competition in round 2, and squeak out a win. Sometime in the next couple of rounds, face a team that plays defense and doesn’t beat itself on offense, and presto! Roy ends up in tears in the locker room.
Rinse, wash, repeat.

Or at least some city in North Carolina.
It’s utter bullshit and pisses me off to no end.
I don’t get it.
EVERY SINGLE YEAR North Carolina gets some home game somewhere in North Carolina.
And UCLA 9 years out of 10 gets the same with California.
Of course this year UCLA has to play in Philly...
against VCU and (likely) Villanova

well North Carolina is like the overall best state for college hoops
Duke, UNC, Wake Forest, NC State, even UNC-Charlotte are all perennial tourney
Seriously it's insane...
I can understand California because it’s huge but for the South region to be in NC every year is stupid…I mean there are other cities and states in the Southeast.

[Comment From KCsince88]
If Trey Hillman actually gives Mike Jacobs a chance against LHP this year, he can actually do something, right? I mean, he only has 300-some AB’s against LHP in his career. They should stop assuming just because he is a lefty bopper.
I agree that it does take some time to establish whether a guy can hit lefties or not. Not sure how he did in the minors offhand. But really they gotta get that guy away from 1B, he is a butcher. Or at least was last year.

Yeah, I thought that was pretty funny.
I tend to agree about Jacobs playing 1B. I’d rather see 22 year old Billy Butler play 1B, and work on it in game situations all year, than the older Jacobs, who is really the PERFECT AL DH guy.

you're right, but they've never really threatened...
Purdue’s put it back up to double-digits every time it’s gotten within 2 possessions
Oh, and sorry Danny.
But the Roll Calls will be coming at a later time.
Sometime today, definitely, but likely another couple of hours or so.
Front page of ESPN.
Disgusting. A picture of Slimeball Calipari and the Headline “Guile of the Tigers”… Like they fought through adversity, and fought the good fight and showed so much heart in beating a team from Cal State Northridge.

not as sad as it would be to see memphis potentially playing utah state to get to the elite 8
i personally have marquette losing to missouri, but if missouri gets upset… and a LOT of people are picking ’quette to get upset… then that would basically mean memphis would end up having the easiest 3-game stretch in the history of the tournament
Some people said that about our run last year.
Portland State, UNLV, Villanova, Davidson.
UNLV, a 9-seed, being the highest seed.
I think we proved it
by beating UNC to a pulp… They are the Red Sox or Yankees of CBB, so everybody knew that after we beat the bandwagon team of America, we were for real.

I agree.
I just hate all of that talk by saying “easy paths”.
Bottom line is that everyone has to win 6 games in a row. Sure, some regions are easier than others. Sometimes a helluva lot easier.
But the best team nearly always wins.
If Memphis wins it all, they will have deserved it. Even if they narrowly edge Utah State in the Sweet 16 and Mississippi State in the Elite Eight and USC in the Final Four.
we won the only final four...
ever to feature 4 #1’s so we were the best of the best final four ever.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
i think the path the team took to get it done is important for the historical perspective aspect of it
i mean as the years go on people always seem to compare teams from different era’s… and even though is Memphis wins it all with an easy road, and yea they will have deserved it, but people will inevitably look back on them as “weak” champions
yea i forgot about those first few-and-a-half games
holy shit, now i’m also just remembering Curry’s 3 at the buzzer…. i almost puked blood when i saw him get a clean look at it
Curry didn't shoot it.
Jason Richards did. Curry was LOCKED DOWN.

Not bad against
a radford team that had lost 8 out of 9 games at one point in the season. Its one thing to have small conference teams in the touney, its quite another to have BAD conference teams. I think all these podunk schools should have to battle it out for the right to the 14-16 seeds.

I actually immediately panicked, because knowing KC, I figured some other fan from another school (most likely Mizzou) came over and said something stupid. Then, KC freaked out at him, and said something stupid (no offense, KC, but this really wouldn’t be that extraordinary for you to pull off) and then there was mass hysteria. I would have to ban people, and warn people, and it’d be mass chaos." - SlowDance
Odds-on favorite to win the "1st Annual Rock Chalk Talk Tournament Pick 'Em Contest" :D
Well,
looks like you guys had a great afternoon. My internets blew up, but I should be around for the evening session. I know you guys missed my wit.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
