New Mexico is trying to choke but Montana is just awful. They don't want it.

WV and KY would be a good game. Assuming either gets to that point.

Whoo.. New Mexico salvaged the first day for me.

Finished 10/15 in my official bracket pool.

Pissed off at Texas and Marquette.

Big East ='s overrated.

A few days ago I had Syracuse winning it all. I changed it Wednesday to them losing to KState in the Elite 8.

My championship game is Kentucky and Kansas, so as long as they ride it out, I have a great shot. Also have OSU in the Elite 8 losing to Kansas, that looks good now with GTown out of the way. Though their 2nd round match up will be tough either way with GA Tech or OK St.

Quality day of hoops. Hopefully the next 3 days can live up to it.

The same WVU team that always shows up every game. They'll end up kicking it in in the 2nd half and win the game. I actually feel more comfortable when they are down by 10 because that's when they start to play.

Great. In one of my brackets I have WVU playing in the final game. That looks in jeopardy right now.

Again, this is how WVU has played all year. They get down early and then end up coming back. This has happened at least 10 times this season. It's just how this team plays and it works.

Put any type of spin on it you want. Georgetown got down early too. I'm sure they thought they would come back in the 2nd half too. WVU better step up and start playing!! Keep an underdog in the game to long and they begin believing they can win.

Facts aren't a spin. WVU literally did this nearly every single game the last half of the season. As far as I know, Georgetown did not.

Minny and X have been a good game so far.. WVU better start getting something going. Haven't gotten to see any of Temple/Cornell but score looks like its a good one so far

Seems like the Big East had a lot of grind-it-out teams this year.

Notre Dame, Marquette, maybe Georgetown to a degree and certainly Pitt and West Virginia.

Those teams often struggle in the tournament because it's more about matching firepower and knocking down the three-point shot. We'll see if that is a factor, again, today with Pitt and WVU.
