NCAA tournament 2011 — running thread

Wow.... Ohio State jumping all over George Mason.

 

Bad foul call on Sullinger. But it gives the Northeast contingent a chance to gain their bearings.

 

Fun fact: The state of North Carolina has hosted either a first/second round or regional each year since 1997, with the exception of 2003 and 2010.

Yes, Duke and UNC are routinely high seeds and deserve to be placed there ... but as others have mentioned, there are other programs that would fill an arena every year if the tourney was within an hour drive.

 

The Jay Bilas Twitter feed is hilarious. He gets it. And really we have no business criticizing Bilas when CBS is putting Charles Barkley on the set.

 

What were those Ohio State players doing singing a Miley Cyrus song?

 

Bilas and Barkley on the same set would be fantastic.

 

Has CBS/TNT/TBS/truTV/GSN played more Peter Gabriel today?

 

Ohio State shooting a stupid 16-23 from 3 point line.

Lots of teams don't do that good from the free throw line.

 

36-25 Arizona at the half. And another talented Rick Barnes-coached team appears headed to a March disappointment.

 

I haven't been able to predict whether water is wet in this tournament. But by cracky I nailed Texas going tits up in the round of 32.

 

You think Kellogg was bad, you should've seen Rhoden on the Sports Reporters this AM. Jemele Hill and the other guy seemed to make an honest effort to examine the whole thing, and Rhoden essentially just provided some background chuckling.

 

Purdue is in real trouble.
