Michigan State has a 35-26 lead at Half Time over Temple

I'm guessing that St. Joes will score 26 points in the first half as part of A10 solidarity.

[Celtic Fan]

looks like this #5 is not going down to #12.

I got G-Mase pulling the #12 traditional upset.

[Celtic Fan]

whoops wrong region.. my bad.

[Real]

They had to play my upset pick in Denver of all places.

[JCB]

Marquette leading Kentucky right now.

[Celtic Fan]

Goods news marquette, we're giving you a 6 seed.. and you get to face uhh Kentucky!! lucky you

any team that has a tradition like KU, is always tough come tourney time, regardless if it's a down year for them.

and wow, they're keeping it close 12 mins in!

I'm guessing he was talking about Kentucky and called them KU instead of UK

[JCB]

And Marquette beats UK, advancing to face the winner of Stanford/Cornell. Matthews hitting clutch free throws down the stretch.

[Chutney]

That was a decent game. Not much else all that exciting today though.

South Finals: Pittsburgh over Texas

[CelticBalla32]

Dammit, I'm so disappointed in Pittsburgh. I picked them to win the South, and that absolutely bit me in the ass. I still have a chance at doing pretty well, but this really hurt me. I'd understand if they had lost to Memphis in the Sweet 16 or even Texas/Stanford in the Elite 8... but second round? My goodness... didn't expect that at all.

Its not like Michigan State is a shitty team, they was ranked all year long.

[Kid Chocolate]

Pitt always does well in the Big East tourney and then chokes on a dick in the NCAA tourney.

Izzo, on the other hand, always has his teams show up in the Dance.

Oh I know, don't get me wrong. Michigan State is a good basketball team. I just had high expectations for Pitt this year, I thought they were finally gonna break through. I thought they were heavily overrated last season, but I thought they had what it takes to get it done this year.

Oh well. It's a big blow for me, but it doesn't ruin my bracket altogether. I just need to make sure I do pretty damn well the rest of the way.

[Big Frame]

Memphis vs Fake MSU People need to watch this game, tied at 52 with 8 min left

[o.iatlhawksfan]

Texas will win if their guards are hot from 3, DJ might struggle, cause his game is going to the basket and doing his damage there, he'll have a though time doing that with the Lopez twins. Abrams/James will be the x-factors of this game, will they be able to make it from 3?

and Connor Atchley will have to atleast slow down Brook.

[o.iatlhawksfan]

Lopez is cooking, to bad his teammates aren't

[Rodenbo]

Go Texas. I'm stuck watching Stephen Curry tear up Wisconsin, but I'd rather be seeing Texas. Last I saw Stanford was struggling to get anything going and Augustin was just starting to get warm (right before halftime)

[o.iatlhawksfan]

Stanford down 1

[o.iatlhawksfan]

Looks like Brook lopez career at Stanford is coming to an end. =(

[cpawfan]

Way to go Horns. 82-62 win over Stanford
