I take off work Thursday and Friday of the tourney every year and have friends over to my house. Normally have 3 TVs set up but we might only do 2 this year.

Yep. Getting ready to shower up and head out for a full day of drinking. Wash, rinse, repeat the next two days. Going to fry a few pounds of fish and eat like a king, while watching my bracket self-destruct!

Group of us get together for today every year. Fortunately, I don't work Thursday/Friday so I don't have to use PTO.

Virginia just fucking blows so bad on offense. Pathetic. Might not even score 50.

Was there an easier line than UNC-W +7.5?

I talked myself into every 12/13 upset and for some reason I was least in on UNC-Wilmington winning. Have no idea why I didn't go all in on that one.

UVA may still pull it out, but just the numbers (Wilmington is 18th in the country in offensive efficiency) and Virginia can't score makes you think it's close without any doubt.

Yeah. Halftime of ND/Princeton was brutal.

Seem like start times are even more spaced this year.

The worst is on Saturday and Sunday, when there are 8 games per day, and they start 1 game at like 12:15. Then, between like 5:30 and 6:30, there are 4 that start. So stupid. Gotta make sure to plug all those commercials.

I'm trying to stream 3 games at once and it keeps freezing, and making me watch the fucking ads again.

I've never seen Mike Daum play before. He is slow as fuck.

Almost an epic start to the tournament. Good game though.

Cannady had a horrible game or Princeton wins. He was a great shooter all year.
