Not sure KSU is going to win any citizenship awards either. Have you seen their coach?

Frank Martin is intense, but coming from the background he comes from and getting the kids he gets, he is anything but cocky.

That Nova player passing up the easy dunk for a 5 pt lead was just stupid.

Come On RMU!

Crazy ending to this Nova game. RM will get a chance to tie with 9 sec left.

Yes it was. He only really shaved 2 or 3 seconds off the clock too.

Not a good shot to end it.

Good start to the tournament. Great opening games, and looks like the next batch are going to be close also.

Re: Thursday 1st Round Open Thread

I've got 'Nova in my bracket only going a few rounds. Would've liked to see Robert Morris pull that off. 'Nova is obviously NOT very good anymore and Robert Morris played their ass off. Feel bad for schools in that situation . . .

I don't always like to go with the same "sleeper" picks that some of the experts do, but this year, I couldn't stay away from Murray State.

I am gonna to watch the ODU / ND game. Pulling for the Monarchs - I don't think ND belongs in the tourney, certainly not a 7 seed.


BTW - the online stream is being sponsored by Capital One and their &^%$ing vikings, the Ivan Brothers. I believe this Viking campaign is in my top 5 of worst ideas for a commercial ever.

Make that a 6 seed and congrats to ODU sure glad the selection guys thought ND at 23-11 RPI 48 was worthy of a 6 seed and UNI wasnt just shows what a joke it is

Re: Thursday 1st Round Open Thread

How would we know, we didn't beat ODU or anything...oh wait...

Re: Thursday 1st Round Open Thread

Looking at seeds alone, it looks likes a big upset, but with the selection comittee, it seems to me they wanted to force a lot of upsets?

Re: Thursday 1st Round Open Thread

You just took two overtimes to win a game in which you were heavily favored and you are kissing the ball, waving to the camera, and acting like a bunch of morons.

Force of habit. He's just used to kissing balls all the time.

As for waving to the camera..... so what?
Heaven forbid that he has some fun. sheesh.
I didn't know people got so offended by a simple wave.

It was their first win in 7 tries in the NCAA tourney....I'd expect the same from UNI if you guys win.
