A meager opening to the 2009 edition of the NCAA Tournament in the morning, hopefully the evening will provide us more excitement.
Cal State Northridge's near upset of Memphis was the highlight of the early-going, and Northern Iowa and Butler both fought back late against high-majors. However, Purdue and LSU, respectively, came out on top.
Also, once the games are over, the North Dakota State KenPom preview piece will be up. So, that's the cherry on top of this wonderful day of basketball. Although, KP's already let me down three times today, so boo.
Here is this evening's schedule:
All Times Eastern Standard Time...
Time Slot Four
(7) CLEMSON vs. (10) Michigan (7:10)
(7) TEXAS vs. (10) Minnesota (7:10)
(3) VILLANOVA vs. (14) American (7:20)
(4) GONZAGA vs. (13) Akron (7:25)
Time Slot Five
(2) OKLAHOMA vs. (15) Morgan State (9:40)

Oh come on
KC creates the league so he gets first pick?
Boooo.
I am Jack's unbridled optimism.

hahaha
can’t complain too much, I’m in the #2 slot. Looks like it was set up in the order of joining the league.
Soren Petro just said “8/9 are always great games.”
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
Hahaha, I saw that, too.
I thought Petro had a brain.
"I log on to RCT after school, and I see the 228 comments on this thread. 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

It hasn't been determined yet.
That’s just the order that I invited everybody based on when you gave me your email. It will be randomized before the draft.

This is funny(in a stupid way)
I made 9 brackets between Yahoo & ESPN, and missed 1 pick on 5 of them & am perfect in 3 others.But on the RCT one I screwed something up and it shows me missing every pick. So no pressure on anyone else to finish last.

BYU is my only incorrect one so far.

Early on
Minnesota looks to want it a bit more. And, I’m not saying that because I’m biased based on my pick. They are after every loose ball harder, and selling out to get it. Plus, they are shooting better.

Texas will dominate the Dukies on Saturday, too.
Big fan of Texas right now. Think they can make a deep run.
And yes, that primarily is a product of my irrational love of all things Dexter Pittman.
I also picked Texas over Duke,
figured Pittman would have a monster game against them.

I have them beating Duke in almost every bracket I did.

Alright.
I’ve told it a couple times. My dad is from Miami, born and raised. He was a diehard Dolphins and ‘Canes fan. So, at an early age, he got me started on it, becuase I didn’t know any other teams or anything. It just kinda stuck. I was always KU in basketball and UM in football, because I didn’t really know anything about KU football, because I had nobody to educate me on it. UM and the Dolphins was drilled in day after day haha

Haha, right.
I just knew nothing about the program or the team really. And The U was always the best, so as a little kid, that was cool.

I vote Eli Stone.
It was only one for a season-and-a-half, though, so maybe not.
Friday Night Lights is another stellar one.

Lost, and 24.
Those are the only 3 I’m up to date on. Might check out Eli Stone, although you’re the only person that has recommended that one to me.

Based off of the games so far today
I’ll bet we have plenty of trouble in our game tomorrow.
More and more, it appears that once you move off of the 1/16 matchups, there really aren’t any other ‘easy’ matchups left. There are usually 4-or-5 conference tournament upsets, that are bad teams, that just got lucky for three days, so they get slotted in as the 16 seeds.
After that, just about every team is solid and can make a play.
Color me scared.
i can't believe how solid american's been on the glass
from what i’ve seen so far, nova’s goin hard after their own missed shots and just not even gettin a finger on the ball
Nova's coming up short on a lot of shots already.

Disagree entirely.
It is Clemson.
It’s not like they have any semblance of basketball history there. He’s done a fabulous job at getting talent and consistently making the NCAA’s.
It’s like Mangino here. No history, but Mangino has built it up so we are consistently getting to bowl games.
Eventually, Purnell is going to have to stop choking to death and actually win a game in the Tournament, but he’s done a fine job thus far.
I'll give you a fine job thus far,
but Clemson has more money than they know what to do with.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
hey, Clemson produced Horace Grant, so it's not like they're devoid of talent
hahaha but seriously, those two years when they had james mayes and some very good shooters, they’d jump out to these ridiculous starts where all they’d have to do is win like 5 more games over their next 15 to make the tournament and they somehow would fail miserably… and the same has pretty much happened this year.

I have them going to Detroit.
So yeah, that’d be nice.
I’m still pulling for the upset, while in the back of my mind kinda-sorta wishing Zaga would come back.
Yeah

i have the zags in the elite 8 so i'm pullin for em too
i also kinda wanna see if a major tourney run would lead to Few leaving for a big-time program… like Northwestern
He's going to Oregon.
I’m calling it right now. Kent is going to get fired, and he’ll go back to his alma mater.
Danny, have you heard anything about Carmody getting fired?
It seems to me that they’d be in love with him over there; they seem to be in good position to make an NCAA Tournament run next year.
I love him, personally. And, I highly doubt that Few would leave Gonzaga for Northwester, anyways.
Pitino is going to Arizona.
In all actuality, I forgot about that opening. I still think he’d choose the alma mater and all of Nike’s money over Zona and its crazy fanbase that turned on Kevin O’Neill for no reason. But yeah, that’d be quite intriguing.
But seriously, I have absolutely no idea why Pitino would ever leave Louisville for Arizona. It makes no sense. And yet plenty of Wildcat fans have talked about it as if it were fact.
I heard Calipari
And no, that’s not negative recruiting or anything…
by KennyGregoryRockThaCradle on Mar 19, 2009 8:06 PM CDT up reply actions
Either way,
Zona better be careful or they’ll fuck up the great things Lute did there.
(Yes I know, Lute didn’t leave it in great shape. But, he built that program and if what the rumors going are true, then nobody should be taking shots at him)
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
not a peep about it
i think, even though they didn’t make it this year, it was still like a cinderella season to most chicagoans… the fact that they were relevant (as opposed to, say DePaul) seems to be more than anybody could’ve imagined
Did they just say American U is located on Massachusetts Avenue?
If so, we all need to cheer for them!

Sometimes.
At times, when I like both teams, I can’t really “find out” who I’m for until I watch the game.
It’s how I end up rooting for Missouri, at times. I watch the game, and I just have to root for them. It’s uncontrollable.
Does that make me weird?

Yes, if you root for Misery, that makes you an inbred.

So....I just reread the Warden Challenge rules and I don't think...
I’m built for long term success there…I thought it was a first weekend upset pick type contest. I didn’t realize it was the duration of the tourney. I need to hope for some big splashes this weekend cause I’m going to need a big lead going into the last two, I don’t have many legitimate final four contenders.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
That's what you get
for not reading the instructions, Denver.
Geez.
That’s the point of Gonzaga and Purdue. I think both could make deep runs.
well if Gonzaga and Purdue lose in the sweet 16 to the 1's...
you’ll still be my bitch and instructions won’t matter!!! :D

Seriously, this is basically the
SAME EXACT SITUATION as VCU vs. Duke two years ago. Thursday night. Northeast city (Buffalo last time). Prestigious opponent on a down year (Duke and UCLA).
Down by 1. 12 seconds left.
Here comes “THE DAGGER!”
alright vcu, gotta make sure you get the shot up with about 5 seconds on the clock so you have a chance at a putback
and a slim chance at fouling to extend the game
Great defense.
Fuck.

That was utterly stupid.
I get that Eric Maynor is your all-everything, but that was an absolutely terrible look.
He’s gotta pass that ball off and get it back, or something. Took way too long, and was just shitty overall.
Oh well.
What a letdown after a great comeback.
Not much of a shot.

Haha
My non-basketball loving friend watched it with me and said “I’d shoot myself if that was the shot to win the game.”

OK, if Illinois comes back
and there are officially no upsets today, I’ll be super pissed.
I need at least one. And despite me, for some inexplicable reason, not picking them in the Warden pool, Western Kentucky would be as good of an upset for me as any.
GO HILLTOPPERS!
I said it earlier,
I’d love for somebody else to take that cherry.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
It's what Illinois gets
for sleeping through the game.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
Great.

That was a weak finish.
I’d think he’s be excited by this point in the game.

YES!
Did anyone else see Bruce Weber over there on the sideline?
“JUST A SECOND ON THE CLOCK!!!”
It gave me a good chuckle.
Comment 1198 on the day.
Not bad for a Thursday.

Huge!
Finally, a big enough upset to talk about.
Hopefully, we won’t keep up the upset trend tomorrow morning.
Not a good sign for us
if THAT was the biggest upset of the day… A 12 always beats a 5.

Actually:
It seems like upsets lead to upsets. Decent start tomorrow and we’re fine.

Shitballs...for my picks
Weber is going to start getting heat big time now that FHOFCOYDNCBAMFHCBS is officially out of Illinois. He AIN’T coming back, y’all missed your chance!
sorry Leitch.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
Yeah.
I was wondering when people were going to realize that the success of Illinois was mostly Self.

Weber is a solid, pretty good coach.
The type of coach who will recruit some role players and have them develop into All-Big 10ers, and pick up the occasional local megastar to lead them.
They’ll always make the NCAAs, I think, and will be a solid threat for the Big 10/11 title every once in awhile.
Certainly no FHOFCOYDNCBAMFHCBS, but still a fine coach in his own right IMO. Can’t stand the man, but he’s a pretty solid coach.
Pick up the occasional local star?
Like Eric Gordon?

Ok,

If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
KP preview is up.
