The Atlantic 10 is so damn good. And La Salle isn't even a team that contended for the conference title.

I'm not any debate either way....just commenting that it wasn't over yet.

Bruce Weber might want to get his purple sport coat out. He's gonna have to pull out all the stops. La Salle is going to make some noise. Their guard play is top notch. Like the Cyclones of Iowa State, it's going to take hot outside shooting to make a long run, but the Explorers have the personnel to do it and plenty of weapons.

If Michigan State doesn't defend the pick-and-roll better, and Boggs can finish at the rim, this game could be closer than most expect.

Looks like CBS Live is completely free this year, unlike last year.

The CBS bracket server has been down for nearly two hours, so you cannot go in and view your brackets if you are involved in a pool there. That's pretty embarrassing for their biggest time of year. Reason: Overload. Really? No way. /sarcasm

Hmm, I will try again. I know it was definitely down for a period earlier. I had a couple of friends check too.

Bucknell-Butler is not a good offensive game thus far. Neither team on track to break 20 points in the first half.

Love this shit. Every year is awesome. Easy excuse to drink beer and smash glorious, unhealthy food(don't make fun of me web for using this as an excuse to drink. I know I am in no way part of the tourney, so I shouldn't be celebrating it)

Quick 8-0 run for Bucknell has them within 3.
