29-9 UVa and Reynolds can't miss. This is the type of guard play that carries final 4 teams.

19-2 UVA may have the blowout of the day.

19-2 UVA may have the blowout of the day.

2007-03-16T12:25:05.457-04:00

I'm in DC (Virginia) and get to watch the UVa game on MMOD. I'm pretty happy now.

The problem for Duke is that no matter how good of a season they are having, they have a huge target across the name on the jerseys. Everyone wants to say they beat Duke. Even more-so in the tourney. So Duke has to have their A game every single night. I did like VCU's pressure last night, but really the difference was their 10 three-pointers. Jacking up 3's on a 3 on 1 fast break is what you do when you have nothing to lose. Taking the gimmes in the paint on those breaks is what other teams do.

I picked LB St too. As far as biggest blowout? Um, Oregon will destroy Miami(OH). MMOD seems to be working better today.

2007-03-16T12:11:14.449-04:00

If Jackson St. somehow pulled the biggest miracle ever and beat Florida will Dan disappear for a couple of days? Will he be prepared to get as good as he gives? I know it is very, very wishful thinking but was just curious on how he would react. Would he find another school he didn't attend to like?

2007-03-16T12:06:42.440-04:00

Ok, So here is a 2 questions for everyone:

1. What game do you think there will most likely be an upset?

2. What game will be the biggest blow out?

My Answers:
1. LB St over Tenn.
2. Memphis over North Texas

16 for 16 on day one. Too bad it is all downhill for pierce5 from here on out because this is my crazy Maryland wins it all bracket. Or maybe I am really a genius.

2007-03-16T12:02:39.717-04:00

I went 13-3 yesterday. I got GW, Wright St, and Texas Tech wrong. I don't even remember picking Wright St or why, so that really sucks. I had WS in the Sweet 16 too. What the hell was I thinking??

2007-03-16T11:35:10.443-04:00

First of all, 300 was awesome, action scenes are sick, saw it in IMAX the other night.

Duke losing will always make my day a little better, however, it was already going well and I finished 15-1. (not that the first day means anything)

Early games today:

I have hte Great Danes of Albany pulling the upset, GT over UNLV, and Memphis over the Mean Green

Since I'm home in the rapidly accumulating snow, I'm watching Cold Pizza.

Dana Jacobsen has changed her hair, and she sorta looks like the ugly version of Get Smart's Agent 99.

2007-03-16T11:23:39.229-04:00

I got 48 seconds on the ball spinning game... what's the record?

I got UVA over Albany, GT over UNLV, and Memphis in a route.

I gotta get a life.

2007-03-16T11:08:18.508-04:00

I went 9-7 on the first day. WORST. DAY. EVER.

I have never done this badly. The last few years I was good for at least a 12-4 or 13-3. And I was one of those homers who thought Duke and Texas Tech could make the Sweet 16! UGH!

2007-03-16T11:03:28.739-04:00

Todd I know Duke had a down year but I can take solace in knowing that BC has not beaten Duke since they joined the ACC. That being said good luck against Georgetown.

2007-03-16T11:01:03.938-04:00

VCU!!! VCU!!!

When my girlfriend asked me last night why I was so happy when Duke lost, I told her, "Duke, the Yankees of College Basketball, just lost to VCU, who probably aren't even the Yankees of whatever the hell VCU does."

It's a good day for the haters.

As for Duke not getting calls this year, I think Clemson fans might disagree.

2007-03-16T10:59:59.620-04:00

All right let's have some picks for the early games.

I got:
UNLV over GT
UVA over Albany
Memphis over North texas

2007-03-16T10:57:42.664-04:00

Bringing up Blake and Dixon brings back some good memories. Blake fouling out of the "Gone in 54 seconds" game is what lost it for Maryland. (Other than Jason Williams clutch shooting)

Anyway, I'm off to a DC bar this afternoon for the games. So I wont be able to read or post this afternoon. I'll miss the fun though.
