Don't be hater just because Dayton sucks. Have some respect for teams who are good.

I'd say I'm most interested in seeing the GT/OK St game. I think it will be a good game and I get a good look at the Buckeyes 2nd Round opponent.

A lot of people are taking Murray St. because they won 30 games, won the OVC regular season title and rolled through the conference tourney. They're a great team

Someone on espn thought that Siena would be favored in Vegas because of all of Purdue's injuries. I wonder what the line will be?
It's at Purdue -4 right now

Wow, im shocked. I bet that closes out at about Purdue -1 or -.5. I would be shocked at an EVEN line either. People are gonna jump all over Siena +4 I would think.


Of course, Purdue will win by double digits now.

I would have thought the same thing, but it actually moved slightly the other way. Opened at Purdue -3.5 and is now at -4.

They have two guards in Anderson (A10 POY over Jordan Crawford) and Gonzalvez that are hands down awesome. Anything less than the Sweet 16 is a disappointment for them.

I'm telling you, Richmond will beat the crap out of St. Mary's.
I told you Omar Sanham was a beast and Saint Marys was a very good team. They just beat the living shit out of a team who was "gonna win by 20" over them.

Whew. Glad Murray pulled through. I don't know how many people I practically demanded switch their picks from Vandy because "believe me, the Racers are legit."

When Vandy went up, I had about four texts rush my phone. Haha.

That was a great ending. I was kneeling on the floor, praying in front of my TV for a buzzer. God, I love this month.

^^^Me too Rec. I kept saying, "DUDE, they won THIRTY FREAKING GAMES! They are a great team. They will beat Vandy, its my easiest upset pick" lol. I about had a heart-attack when Beal hit both FTs and then that dude jacked a 3 with like 8 seconds left haha.

I've got Murray beating UTEP next round, so VERY glad to see Murray win, definitely a legit team before the tournament started, not really that much of an upset.
