For a second i thought they actually just put a commercial break between foul shots

Pretty sure I've seen that during a Maryland game.

That foul that put Kyle Guy on the line at the end is a foul all day long at all levels. 

And State is getting absolutely choked out right now.

Sparty with a strong comeback but look to be on life support now

Nothing in the tank on the defensive end in the second half.  Not sure how to feel.  This team grossly overachieved, so a Final 4 in phenomenal, bit they also knocked off the best team, and a national title was there for the taking, and they couldn't get it done.

Mrs. 847 told me after we watched Tech trounce Buffalo that they would win this thing. I discounted that, of course. 



What a dumbass I am. I should just listen to my wife. Tech is gonna win this thing.

You know how many women win brackets simply because they wing it.Where of course men tend to analyze every trend,fact,stat or info that could factor into the outcome

MSU will be better next year.

Another way of putting that is that women think more holistically, whereas men tend to compartmentalize.

True, though it also speaks to the fact the brackets by nature are just random enough to defy logic more often than not.

Well, I won my pool (roughly $800).  The first time I've filled out a bracket in 5 years.....in which I also won and earned $500 5 years ago.  It almost makes me wonder if I wouldn't be too bad at trying a hand in sports betting, but fortunately I'm smart enough to know that it is a bad, predictable road to go down.

Finished 3rd but there were 93 people in it so he may pay out more than one spot.  I guess we’ll see. Four of us out of 93 had UVA winning it all.  I actually think these default scoring systems by ESPN and Yahoo award too many points for picking the correct champion.

I'm just glad we don't have to hear that annoying blow horn from MPLS anymore. Made the game hard to watch.

[Kris60]

I actually just checked my pool.  The two guys who finished above me tied so it came down to the score tiebreaker.  One dude had a total score of 140 points and the other of 138.  That’s as close as I’ve ever seen it.
