Yeah, it starts like 20 minutes earlier. That means that no matter what, you'll see the first 20 minutes of the game.

Here in Canada, Sportsnet flips between whichever games are currently on, and they usually keep a focus on whichever game CBS isn't showing.

Thats great, because CBS does a marvelous job of showing the least appealing games at all times. Especially if Duke is involved.

I think I've mentioned it here before but West Virginia is my team for all college sports since my grandpa is like head of the Engineering department there.

Yup, you've mentioned it before

I loving March Madness this year. This is the first time I've filled out a bracket so that makes it a lot more fun, and I'm also hard core on the Pac-10 band wagon, so Washington and Arizona are making it that much more entertaining for me.

On a random note, has anyone watched Utah play? That giant Aussie they have (I believe his name is Andrew Bogut) is an absolute stud. They're a very fun team to watch.

Dr. Giganto · 03-24-2005, 05:52 PM

Damn...first bracket? I been doing them for money since I was like 15 haha. I guess I'm just a gambling addict. And it makes the tournament so much more fun when you have a bracket

I havent watched Utah play, but I've heard all types of stuff about Bogut. I believe he was first team All-American this year. They say he might be the first pick in the draft. I have Kentucky in a team-specific pool at work (throw in 5 dollars and you get a random team assigned to you), so I need Kentucky to cover the 4.5 point spread

Oh, and Washington's a great story and all, but I'm gonna be rooting HARD for Louisville. Why?

1) Snubbed by the selection committee
2) Coached by former Knicks coach Rick Pitino
3) Coming to the Big East next year
4) Their star player, Francisco Garcia. Where's he from? THE BRONX BABY!!!!!

I haven't seen any of it this year. usually ill catch a game or two but i never even seen it on so far.

I can't wait to see the UW-Milwaukee-Illinois game tonight to see if UW can pull off another upset.

If you haven't seen the UW Panthers play before...they are very exciting. Full court press the whole game...diving all over the place for loose balls...hard fouls...and they are a very good 3-point shooting team. Very Tough minded group they have...I'll be surprised if Illinois can break their spirit.

I love this time of year.

Blitzkrieg · 03-25-2005, 07:29 PM

Well...to recap

Ok St. lost to Arizona when Saleem his a jumper with 2 seconds left.

UW-Milwaukee wasn't as competetive as I thought they'd be against Illinois

#1 seed Washington got killed by Louisville...Pitino still in it.

Bobby Knight's team melted in the last seconds against West Virginia.

Tonight...

Well the only thing I'm hoping is that Michigan St. takes Duke apart.

Look out for Bogut against Kentucky..should be interesting.

UNC should roll Nova if they are on their "A" game.

and what's the other game? NC state and somebody? Ahh..who gives a shit, UNC is goin' to the final four.

DMW · 03-25-2005, 07:50 PM

Bogut has made a fan out of me during this tournament, but unfortunately I picked Kentucky to beat them in this game so I'm going to have to root against him tonight.

Mich St./Duke feels like a possible upset to me. I picked Duke so I hope not, but we'll see.

Blitzkrieg · 03-25-2005, 10:53 PM

Interesting that after all the bashing of the Big 10 this year they have 3 teams in the Elite Eight.

Dr. Giganto · 03-26-2005, 07:00 AM

Did anyone catch the end of thr Villanova-UNC game?

That was a bullshit travelling call. Two steps.

It sucks that my two favorite teams left in the tournament, West Virginia and Louisville, have to play each other tonight. Well, at least Duke's gone!

Blitzkrieg · 03-26-2005, 12:41 PM

I was pulling for 'Nova in that one...they played their heart out.Oh well, at least DUKE LOST!!
