I hadn't seen that, but it sounds about right. Was he trying to be funny?

Yes he was.

[CMJ]

I'm not sure I ever remember 3 straight OT games like this.

[JesseMartin]

Yeah it's like a big tease. I picked NC State to upset St. Louis aaaaaand...record-setting misses from the free-throw line leading to an OT loss.

[CMJ]

Technically NC State would have been an underdog winner, but I felt like SLU was the underdog. The Billikins have been playing poorly for a couple of weeks now, and I tend to pull for schools outside the Power leagues (even when in SLU's case, they're a top 25 program).

[UNT90]

ESPN wasn't bought out by ABC till about five years after CBS got exclusive tourney rights.

Right, which was the point.

Unbelievable comeback by the Billickens

[NT03]

I'm perfect in picking the OT losers.

I was saying...ESPN lost it way before ABC bought them.

[UNTFan23]

How many games went to OT today? Four? Five? Crazy.

[CMJ]

That was a GREAT day of basketball.

four. NDSU-OU, NCSt-SLU, SJ-UCONN, NMSU-SDSU

my only loss on day one was that NC State-St. Louis game...15-1.

a lot of good basketball thrillers today. Looking forward to what tomorrow (err, later today) holds

[CMJ]

I missed four games....but wish I had missed on more. I was all in on Manhattan winning, even though I have Louisville in my Final Four.

During the NMSU/SDSU game they mentioned it was an NCAA record. What a crazy day.

[THOR]

and one more OT game could have easily happened with the ut game...

[NT03]

I lost all 4 OT games. Also had Ohio St & Arizona St who both lost in the last seconds... Smh

[CMJ]

Pretty much this.

What a day of basketball it was.

Oh and I LOVE Dayton trolling their in state brethren from Columbus.

[JesseMartin]

After the first day, the leader is Drew with 14 picks. He correctly picked NDSU and Dayton and only missed Harvard and Oregon.

[UNTFan23]

Duke in a dog fight with Mercer.

[THOR]

anybody else watching the games at work???

[UNTFan23]

anybody else watching the games at work???

No and I'm sticking to that answer.

[Army of Dad]

No and I'm sticking to that answer.

I work from home on Fridays and I approve of this answer.

[MeanGreenTexan]

Good grief Duke. 35% from the field? C'mon!

[UNTFan23]

That hurts my bracket.

[CMJ]

I think it's time to give the Atlantic Sun more respect seeding wise after the last two seasons. FGCU and Mercer rep'ing that conference big time.

[THOR]

No and I'm sticking to that answer.

ha...luckily, i'm giving a test today...

[Andrew]

Let's go LaLa!
