12:15, CBS, Tampa -- West Virginia vs. Clemson
12:40, truTV, Wash. D.C. -- Butler vs. Old Dominion
1:40, TBS, Denver--I Louisville vs. Morehead St.
2:10, TNT, Tucson -- Temple vs. Penn St.

I think three of those four could go either way. I think Louisville definitely wins, but I wouldn't be surprised to see upsets in the other three. I actually picked Clemson, ODU, and Penn State. Wish I was able to watch these games live.

I got WVU, ODU, Louisville and Penn St.
I think Butler might be able to put together a really solid game, but Ive liked ODU all year and Hazell can score the ball. I also have Penn St in the Sweet 16. Playing great defense right now, and confidence is sky high. Plus, they will have the best player in the first 2 rounds, with Taylor Battle.

Do you have any device to get the March Madness app? It is a free download and you can watch all the games live for free as well.

I don't think Morehead State is good enough offensively to pull an upset. I think West Virginia should win comfortably too.
Temple-Penn State could be a great game, or it could be horrifically ugly to watch. I actually think PSU has a pretty good shot of beating SDSU if they get through this one, and I'd favor them slightly over Temple.
ODU and Butler is a classic 8/9 game. I have no idea what to expect, so I won't pretend I do.

I'll probably be too busy to actually watch the games, but that's something I'll do if I can.

LOL. Yeah, it's gonna kill me if I don't know what's going on. It's a good thing that Carolina plays Friday night, or I'd be worthless at work, even if they are playing a #15 seed.
I need to start taking vacation days on the first Thurs/Fri of the tournament.

I'm not upset I have to work during these games, but I'll take West Virginia, Old Dominion, Louisville, and Penn State in these games.

Butler vs. ODU is a humdinger to start it off.

WTF is WVU doing. I hate losing my first game. Making a bit of a comeback, but still look bad!

ODU bs Butler is shaping up to be a good one. Hassell is a player, and Butler wont go down easy to anyone.

Yep. I thought if WVU got off to a quick start, they could win handily. That didnt happen, so Clemson will hang around. Cant wait for this Temple-PSU game!

Not many id Majors can match up with Butlers front line. ODU is one of them. And that white boy can stroke it!

Clemson has a ridiculously quick defense..I was watching that first four game in person the other day, and you could just see how quick they get to their spots on defense. It was unreal. They are going to be a very tough out, mainly because of their defense.
