Boy would it be sweet to break this one out around 1030 or so tonight!
I honestly wish the refs had not handed that game to sparty. It was a travesty honestly. ~10-7 minutes left in the 2nd half they just called any touch a bucknell player had on a sparty and swallowed the whistle when they mugged any bucknell player on d. 4 trips was all it took and sparty then had a 12 pt lead that they could sit on. The arrogance and the "physical basketball" bs is intolerable from those people, you deserved better.
Nevada on a big run to climb back into the game with Texas.
So does the Men's NIT this year, I think? Has anyone watched any of those games? I think I saw they are experimenting.
The reasoning is to divide up the fouls more and spend less time at the end of halves in the bonus shooting free throws.
It also eliminates a TV timeout. Only one timeout each quarter plus the quarter break. The women's game also did away with 1 and 1's. I bet it's only a matter of time before the men's game adopts quarters.
Murray State hanging around with WVU. Hopefully they can make a run here soon and actually start to close the gap.
Aaaaaand it's back to double digits for WVU.
I have one good bracket left. Its my MGoBlog one so thats sweet. 180 points.
and you're already done? Ouch. Too much faith in Arizona and WSU?
I recall being annoyed by Texas' Osetkowski (#21) when we played them earlier in the year. Didn't he have "loose elbows" when we played him?
Turns out, I'm still annoyed by him. He stands completely stationary in the corner on most offensive possessions.
What a week. Can't wait to go all John-Lee-Hooker and some basketball.

TX-NV is a very entertaining game.
the dreaded double-post...
These TBS announcers are unbearable.
I think Osetkowski is a lethargic, sometimes lazy, player. He just threw a lazy inbounds pass after a Nevada made FT tied the game with 3 seconds left. Ball goes off Texas, Nevada gets the ball on their side of the court with about 1.6 seconds left on the clock. Seal the deal, Nevada!
I know there's another thread, but the ladies are up 19, early 4th Q.
Think they can stay in the game vs. Baylor? The 1 and 2 seeds in women's usually obliterate the rest of the field up to the Elite 8... basically no parity
they might, but you're right.
Great game!!!!
twins are fun to watch.
That was a shit call against Nevada's Martin.
Am I crazy or did both guys have their hands on the ball at the same time while being out of bounds?
Wasn't Texas ahead by like 15 in this game? What a collapse.
Holy shit, this is an offensive clinic
Wow. The Longhorns are 15 seconds away from a spectacular choke job.
Unbelievable, but such is March. Wait, no...it's Texas. Rather believable.
