Kind of baffling that with only four games the start times are only 20 minutes apart.

Best fit for prime times?
7:09 PM EDT (beginning at 4:09 PM PDT)
7:29 PM EDT
9:39 PM EDT
9:59 PM EDT (ending about 12:30 AM EDT, 9:30 PM PDT)
What would be better in your opinion?

Rare for me to want all 1 and 2 seeds. However, I'm not rooting for all favorites.

GO:
Gonzaga (1) favored by 9.5 > Arkansas (4)
Villanova (2) favored by 5 > Michigan (11)
Duke (2) > Texas Tech (3), no favorite
Arizona (1) favored by 1.5 > Houston (5)

Piggies came to play.

[Vrede too]

I hear there's gonna be more basketball tonight.

Go Duke and

Soooie. Woooooooo. Pig. Sooie!

Congrats, only SEC team to the Sweet 16 last year, lost in the Elite 8.
Only SEC team to the Sweet 16 this year, now playing in the Elite 8 again. Could be vs Duke.

Yay 'Nova!

[GoCubsGo]

DUUUKE!

[Vrede too]

DUUUKE!

Whew. Go Blue Devils, BBQ some SEC pork!

Why the Gonzaga hate?

GO:
Gonzaga (1) favored by 9.5 > Arkansas (4). Nope.
Villanova (2) favored by 5 > Michigan (11). Cool.
Duke (2) > Texas Tech (3), no favorite Yes.
Arizona (1) favored by 1.5 > Houston (5) Ugh.

2/4.

Villanova (2) vs Houston (5). Go college hoops!

I been a fan in the past, but I've thought they were overrated all along this season. Good to see the 4th place sec team knock them off.

Now, if Duke will only take out Arkansas.

[Vrede too]

Controversial calls abound in final minutes of Arkansas' upset of Gonzaga (videos)

... Rare for me to want all 1 and 2 seeds....

Both #1s lost, and UNC dispatched #1 Baylor in its last game. Kansas is the only #1 still standing, while Duke and Villanova are the only #2s.

Go:

Round 3
N. Carolina (8) vs UCLA (4) favored by 2.5
Iowa St. (11) vs Miami (10) favored by 3.5
Go basketball!

GO:
St. Peter's (15) > Purdue (3) favored by 13.5 .
That's huge, I would bet on St. Peter's with that spread.
Providence (4) > Kansas (1) favored by 6.5

Hmm, rooting for 2 underdogs, ut-oh. So far, betting on O Really teams would have been a decent strategy.

Duke and UNC could meet in the semis, thus pissing off the rest of the nation.

"So far"
But they have done a really good job so far.

Interesting to see you complaining about bad calls after all the flack you've given me. They all looked like fouls to me - moving block inside the circle is a foul every time.

Tit for tat.

The sports writers and commentators disagree with you.

People will say anything, especially west coat writers about the sec. I doubt there was a consensus. Holgren was all over people.


Anyway, I'm sure there wasn't as large of a consensus as there has been of Alabama benefiting from bad calls in multiple games.
Then, I only watched 3 games. They lost to unranked Alabama and st. Mary's and #17 Arkansas. That's all I have to go on.

There was the missed class on the Arkansas player stepping out of bounds as there was a missed out of bounds call against Gonzaga in the Memphis game.

As there was a game changing bad call, or missed call in Auburn's loss in the Final Four 2 years ago.

Did you watch the game? Both of Gonzaga's big men got away with multiple fouls.

West coast anti-SEC prejudice? I only watched part of the Arkansas - Gonzaga game, didn't form my own opinion on the officiating. I just thought I'd link since the subject has come up so often.

Omg St. Peter's (15) is tied with 12:46 2nd. No telling if it will last, so I'll for them hanging in there this long.
Edit: St. Peter's (15) is leading by 2 with :59.2 2nd . However it ends, FU Purdue (3) -13.5 bettors.
Edit 2:

Peacocks!

First #15 to the Elite 8 ever! Joizee City rules!

[O Really]

They'll get UNC or UCLA next.

[billy.pilgrim]

I love underdogs when I don't know the teams, so I hope they get UCLA.

I like both and am not a huge Catholic fan, but I just MIGHT end up rooting for the Peacocks! all the way.
