That's 2 consecutive trips down the floor for Davidson where they wasted time trying to get an ugly 3ptr, then got the offensive rebound and instead of taking the easy inside 2 they kicked it out again for another awful attempt at a 3 :wacko:

 

There was plenty of time... take your 2 if the 3 doesn't go :huh:

They're down 9 with just over a minute left and haven't been hitting anything. They're done.

 

OK, yeah, the lost teh hot hand w/the 3's, and without the 3 they could not win.

 

More importantly, the last 5 minutes were properly called by the officials, but they still sucked. :D

I get the impression they aren't too familiar with shooting the 2... :D

Bracket is hanging in there so far. Come on ODU!

 

Low scoring game (27-26 with 14 minutes left in the game) ETA: Butler hits a 3 and takes a 29-27 lead :dunno:

Well, there goes two of my Sweet 16 Cinderellas (Davidson and ORU). Which is frightening because it means the real Cinderella hasn't emerged yet to fock up my brackets even further. This happens every time without fail, and the year I go conservative is usually when all hell breaks loose. I need to consider making one bracket and then making a bizarro bracket or something. :dunno:

I knew I shouldn't have gone with the crowd on Old Dominion. I picked them and then everyone was saying they were going to win. I almost switched it just because nobody was giving Butler a chance. Probably should have. Anyway, it's cool to see the Horizon represent.

Old Dominion mentally checked out the moment Butler started a run. How does your point guard decide with the shot clock running down to go back to halfcourt and attempt a 25 fter?

Yeah, similar story here. I had Davidson and ORU winning, and ODU was my Sweet Sixteen Cinderella. They've all lost. Which, like you said, means the real Cinderella is still out there. gulp

I'm just glad I resisted the urge to pick ODU to win in round 2 too :D

Looks like Penn isn't going to pull off the miracle for me. Hopefully A&M doesn't beat home court advantage and take down Louisville. If they do they'll face Memphis in San Antonio, and if Memphis loses I'm screwed.

I hope no one picked Central Conneticut State. 14-3 OSU

VCU has done a great job of forcing the tempo. Their full court pressure is causing Paulus to become extremely tired and it proves once again Coach Ratface should have developed a bona fide backup to the PG position during the season.

I think Duke may be in trouble. They are up by 2 at halftime, but they're shooting nearly 60% and find themselves only up by two.

 

The referees seem to be bailing Duke out repeatedly with a number of ticky-tack fouls, particularly in pressing situations. We'll see what the second half holds.

There was one foul where VCU stripped McRoberts of the ball that was a little shady. I like the attitude of the VCU players though.... they're not complaining, rather smiling and having fun. They are much more loose than the Dookies.

If your Elite 8 is still intact after the first weekend, consider it a success.

Wright State looks like it could be what some of us hoped Oral Roberts would be.
