I figured since there wasn't one yet to just start one. I'm sure not many people are watching this game right now but it's actually been a good one.

O most definitely. I think both the late game tonight and tomorrow will be great ones. I could also any of them pulling the upset in round 1(I refuse to call it round 2).

Also, figured I would post it here. Statistical breakdown of chances in the tourney (region by region).

Guy has been very accurate in the past.

I dunno. I think all their other regions are pretty accurate though. Im assuming Floridas might be skewed because of their crazy PPG differential. I think it is #1 at close to 20 per game.

EDIT: Or they think KU sucks ass.

I think tomorrows 16 seeds will probably be a lot more interesting than these two are.

I'll definitely watch the 16s game tomorrow. James Madison is pretty talented as far as 16 seeds go.

Damn this game got interesting fast... really thought Liberty was going to get that steal...

A&T survives after missing the front end of a 1&1... Feel really bad for that dude who missed and took that terrible last shot for Liberty he had a great game.

If this game is any indication of what the tournament's going to be like, we're in for a helluva ride :thumbup:

For sure haha my fiance was like why are we even watching this it doesn't matter any when A&T was up by 10 with like 2:30 left. Then when Liberty came back and A&T missed the free throw she was like holy shit! I was like welcome to March Madness.

This first half has sucked. Middle Tennessee looks like someone that only beat 1 top-100 team.

The whole thing is jacked up. What a joke of statistical analysis.

Middle Tennessee is getting the short end of the stick with the officiating. Very inconsistent.

Its been more than inconsistent. Its been one sided. MTSU cant get a call on a drive, and SM is getting one every other time.
