I didn't see the Murray State game Thursday, just heard the buzzer beater on the drive home from work.

Butler was impressive. I think they'll win but Murray State has some good balance. They have to defend the three from Butler.

I have Murray State in the Sweet 16. Both teams are underrated. Murray State had 30 freaking wins coming in!

though Murray has some sturdy players underneath

Yeah I know Laley, that's why I picked Murray State in the 1st round. I once had a good basketball mind tell me that a 30 win team entering the tournament should be picked no matter the seed. And I agreed that there was something to be said for that. But I think Butler is underrated like they would have been a better 2 seed than Nova. I think they're that good. It took A LOT for me to take Cuse over them. I pondered over that one for quite awhile.

Butler should take this one, they are a very good team. I have Butler in the Sweet 16, but I had them playing Vandy, not Murray State.

I honestly just flipped over to ESPN 2 to watch the Women's Tourny, this game is too boring for me.

Off to a good start! That's what it's going to take, they have to bring MORE energy than they did in the 1st round and they're doing that so far. If they keep making shots it'll stay up.

OU doing well, even with Armon Bassett not scoring.

They're playing great defense on him.

Officials penalizing all ball blocks by blowing their whistle on both teams. I can't stand officials that do that.

Murray State 26-22

at the half

I really like that team now that I see them. Billy Kennedy, the coach, and all the players seem together. Sum of their parts.

The Bobcats running LeIso with Cooper. They need to move the ball and get open, rhythm shots or lanes to the rim.

Yep. Not enough movement and energy. They're playing too slow.

Too much dribbling, no passing. This one's over.

Yeah, I think this might get ugly--UT is playing the way OU needs to play. I hope I'm wrong, I don't want to watch a blow out.

Cooper needs to pull up on that fast break. That's the kind of game they need to play--that's how they won the MAC tournament. Now they hesitate. That's why I feel like it isn't looking good.
