do. One player can carry the load sometimes in the tourney. I think they will get past Rhode Island.
March 15th, 2018 at 12:10 PM ^
agree, i think he's good for one win and then a blowout loss to duke.
March 15th, 2018 at 12:28 PM ^
is exacly what I think will happen. I think Young will show out today and then they will get annihilated on Saturday.
Additionally, Charles Barkley picked Rhode Island. Whenever he makes a pick, I make a note of it and pick the other team.
Do I get to say "told you so" after an overtime loss?

Apparently the refs do too!
They've called Trae for 2 offensive fouls already, the 2nd was about as "let em play!" of a foul as you'll ever see called.
Made me wish I'd a) picked RI to win this gm & more importantly b) put $ on them!!!

get the feeling that Young would be frustrating to play with. He just runs toward the guy with the ball with his hands out asking for the ball. He really doesn't move without it, at all. It looks like his teammates feel like they are "required" to pass the ball to him. At times he has the effect of an extra defender.

This is the best autocorrect in the thread.

watch out for mercury poisoning
The NHL, and especially the NHL-bearing Olympic tunamelts are the best. But the NCAA bball tunamelt ranks right behind them. This opening weekend is fanastic!
March 15th, 2018 at 12:20 PM ^
Ugh. Five more hours of work. Then I'm off and will be drinking some Breckenridge Nitro Vanilla Porter. Off work tomorrow. Hooray.

I have heard (anecdotally) that yesterday and today are two of the most popular days of the year for men to get vasectomies. The reason for this is that they then have an excuse to sit on the couch all weekend watching basketball.
As with all anecdotal "facts" it may not be true, but I really want it to be.
For those of you not from Oregon, they often refer to Portland as Rip City based on something one of the Blazer announcers used to say.
It may be a case of perception creating reality, but I bet there is a huge spike in those appointments this time of year.

Four more hours of work and then an hour and 45 minute commute home.....
At least I have sirius radio.
March 15th, 2018 at 12:36 PM ^
You need to move my man.
March 15th, 2018 at 12:46 PM ^
You have my commute. 1:40 in the morning, 2hrs flat heading home. The fucking housing crash 12 years ago still has my house below the waterline. (I was smart enough to sell at the market peak in May 2006, and dumb enough to buy in July, 2006. Fuck me...)
March 15th, 2018 at 12:27 PM ^
rhode island has some ballers on offense
March 15th, 2018 at 12:28 PM ^
That time of year when I remenber that "TruTV" is a thing and hope that I still get it and can actually find it.
March 15th, 2018 at 12:34 PM ^
You're missing out on all day marathons of Impractical Jokers.

My 15-yr old's favorite frickin show!
How sick I get of those idiots after a few epi. A little bit is enough, man!
That being said, they do get some ppl to go along with some pretty ridiculous shit!
How are ppl NOT looking around for the Candid Camera by now?!
added all of the tournament channels to their lineup about three weeks ago (CBS was already there, of course). Perfect timing, and certainly not a coincedence. I was going to switch to Sling for a month to get TBS, TNT and TruTV.

But . . . but . . . the Committee Chair says that their couple of good wins in November makes them tounrment-worthy.
Despite what you see.
Who are we to believe our own eyes?
are winning by 7 and tinkering with pulling away? I mean, I know their resume is not particularly strong but the evidence thus far does not indicate that they are in over their head.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean PPL HAVE TO LIKE THEM!!
Tied at 44 as of now, early 2nd half
but if we are looking for evidence to support the conclusion that they have no business in the NCAA tournament, this game hasn't provided that so far.
As of this moment they lead in OT, close game.
I got the sense ppl were more disgusted with their style, specifically Trae Young's style. I picked OU to win, so clearly I thought they belonged anyway...
Kansas meanwhile is around 10pts down to PENN!!!

Ad campaign is killing. I don't even eat there but if I did I'd eat there more.
Yogi Berra couldn't have said it better.
