Wow, what an opening day to the tournament. Close games, multiple OTs, the local Murray State Racers shocking the world. My 6-0 start turned into a 6-2 overall first session, and no official word on how HotHot and Mike are doing in Vegas.
Here's hoping tonight's games can be at least half as good as the day games.
UPDATE 9:33 PM:

Is that Worldwide Wes?
also known as UK’s unofficial GM?
by Chris Redman is my hero on Mar 18, 2010 7:21 PM EDT reply actions
Yup....
….World Wide Wes will send you a blank envelope. DO NOT OPEN IT. Further instructions when you get the envelope.
I spoke too soon....

Okay
….looks like it has been fixed.
Not as bad as when they went away from the UL-Sienna game last year. Luckily I was at the game in Dayton.
The Wildcat fans love it...
They say as they pan to the one section that is even semi-full of UK fans.

Going to don a Louisville shirt and find some UK fans to talk about under my breath. I’ve seen a couple dudes wearing UK2K shirts so far..Anyone got a red “UKFU” shirt I can borrow?

Maybe...
…you could ask them if the mathematically correct version of UK2K is UKKK, so shouldn’t the shirt say that?

GTown
Getting all they want from a 7-9 MAC team. Ouch.
Eh, Georgetown is a slow starter.....
….they’ll blow them out in the 2nd half.
Just like I predicted Nova would do (eeek).
They better be strong
in the 2nd Half, cause this is on the verge of a 1st Half blowout if they don’t get their shit together.
yep great 2nd half bet; probably G-Town -6
they’ll cover
by UL is my hot hot sex on Mar 18, 2010 7:51 PM EDT up reply actions
Well UK is making this a blowout early
Why couldn’t they have gotten Vermont?
by Chris Redman is my hero on Mar 18, 2010 7:49 PM EDT reply actions
Ohio
totally has GTown’s number. This would be easily the biggest upset in the tourney. Ohio just isn’t that good. GTown seems to do shit like this every couple-three years. Jesus.
z
This is horrible. Ohio would barely be a NIT team if they hadn’t won their conference.
They gone have to stop sleeping on me one day.. I gotta be one of the best
About 3 hours ago by Eric Wright Cleveland Browns – Cornerback
Guys, guys, I just had a great idea.....
…for a way we could win tomorrow – let’s hit a bunch of threes! And then hope the other team mostly shoots inside the arc, but when they also shoot threes, they miss!
Brilliant game plan for Ohio – just make more than 50% of your 3s.
Ohio shooting out of their minds
from 3. You’d like to think they can’t keep that up but we’ve all seen it….
GTown
needs to give up the paint defense and shut down the 3’s. Stop trading 2 for 3 every trip and they might eek this out. I’m not optimistic, though. Ohio has their number.
GTown
also turned it over 8 times (to Ohio’s 3). Resulting in several more shot attempts by Ohio. So the recipe for GTown = stop giving up uncontested 3’s and stop turning the ball over. Can they do it?
I have a feeling the G’town and Marquette games might give us a glimpse at what we will be facing tom.
They gone have to stop sleeping on me one day.. I gotta be one of the best
About 3 hours ago by Eric Wright Cleveland Browns – Cornerback
If Cal shoots 50% from 3 to beat us
I’m just going to be upset
by Chris Redman is my hero on Mar 18, 2010 8:23 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm sure UK fans loved that statement.
“The omnipotence of Kentcuky was on display in the first half.”
How was Ohio...
…the NINTH best team in their conference? Did they play in the Eastern Conf. of the NBA?
How sad is it
that no BE team has yet to play even close to their potential. The conf. has been a total joke so far. TOTAL.
it's very sad
all higher seeded games too.

Well this terrible performance by the Big East

Think UK
will keep it under 120 points? Wait, Calipari’s their coach. Never mind.

I'm afraid we're going to look like Gtown tomorrow night
Too much chasing in the zone and watching the other team knock down wide open shots.
I think we'll pull away by double digits in the 2nd half
this isn’t a homer thing, just a gut feeling
by UL is my hot hot sex on Mar 18, 2010 9:05 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, I hope the team is watching this game. It looks way too much like the Cards.
On a brighter note, I think we handle losses better than the G-Town fans, they’re in meltdown mode over at Casual Hoya.
we have Freedom Hall Finale in our back pockets
they were expecting a lot more from their Hoyas. This is a good spot to be for the Cards methinks. The more I drink think about it, the better I feel about tomorrow’s game vs. Cal. We can do this.
by UL is my hot hot sex on Mar 18, 2010 9:08 PM EDT up reply actions
Possible
but RP is usually solid with a game plan when he has this long to scout the opponent. I think he knows it’ll be their outside shooting vs. ours to some extent + getting it inside a lot to SamSam. Oh, and I still think our best strategy in the 1st Half is to run them into the ground so they have no legs late.
Our biggest advantage by far
is bench depth. They have basically none now with the suspension and injuries. It’ll be 8-9 vs. 5.
I like our depth; I see a tight game in the 1st half w/ a mini-run by L'ville at the 2 minute mark
and then pull away gradually in the 2nd half.

by Remote Cardinal on Mar 18, 2010 9:15 PM EDT up reply actions
Big swing there....
Georgetown has wide open 3 down 7…misses, then misses the FTs. Ohio hits a 3. Dagger.
Ohio
is relentless with the 3’s. They came to play, but that should not have mattered if GTown had done the same. GTown does this inexplicably every few years in the Dance.
They're one of the most erratic teams I've ever seen.
Case in point: they win a lot early, blow out Duke, finish worse in the Big East than us, then get a run in the tournament and wind up with a 3 seed, and now losing in the first round.
It would be rough to be a Georgetown fan.

Screw UNLV
I haven’t forgotten that they gave us an “Overrated” chant when were 22nd in the country (although that turned out to be partially true) and STORMED THE DAMN COURT when they won
true
as someone sitting a few rows up in the Thomas & Mack, that pissed me off. But the crowd was awesome that game.

Wow, can't believe it....
…I feel as if I predicted ND/Gtown losing in the first round in a thread somewhere, or maybe saying it wouldn’t surprise me….
Amazing
to see any GTown team give up nearly 100 points, especially to a team that didn’t even go .500 in their weak conf.
Nice to see Marq
building a lead. They adjusted well at Half.
That was a great shot

Geez
14-point loss to a team that only got in by winning their conf. tourney… weak conf. at that. Sux to be GTown and their fans.
Gawd, I love March Madness...
…back-to-back-to-back-to-back BASKETBALL, (visualize several hundred exclamation marks).
Honestly
i want to see Kansas lose, just so it can destroy all the brackets picked by ESPN and 99% of everyone elses
Seriously
if you’d put a gun to my head and told me to pick one major upset of a BE team in the opening round, I think I might have picked whoever ’Cuse is playing over this GTown loss.
No
Pac-10 as a conference was awful, these two teams aren’t bad though
by Chris Redman is my hero on Mar 18, 2010 9:40 PM EDT up reply actions
No
I don’t think the overall conference strength is truly reflected in these games.
I mean, does anyone really think Ohio is better than Georgetown? If they played 10 times, or in November or December, does anyone doubt who would win?
It’s just March.
Ugh...
…Marquette starting to miss layups and Washington getting everything to fall.
This thing is clearly over, Washington is going to win.
Gah
They were up 15 and all I said was that they were “pulling away”.
That’s different than “Marquette has won the game it is over”.
I’m an idiot.

so this desn’t hurt me too badly. I’d already lost G’town and Vamdy from my Sweet Sixrteen….

Does Marquette have a defensive RB in the last 4 minutes

This doesn't do anything to us

I can’t believe the Big East teams all tanked so badly. I only thought 2 of them were going to do anything, but damn it’s surprising to see 2 not show up, and 2 gag away leads. Especially Marquette, they were dominating that game for a while.
No matter how the rest of this
tournament plays out, I’ll always remember how horribly the BE teams represented on Day 1. Ridiculous effort and big time players enjoying a snoozer on company time. Very shameful.

by doctorofdunk on Mar 18, 2010 10:18 PM EDT up reply actions
Well, UK losing would be my first choice, but that didn't happen.
Besides, it’s not like Kansas is the ONLY team that can beat UK. If they happen to get past WVU (assuming they have to play them), then hopefully they would play Syracuse in the finals… I think Syracuse would wipe the floor with them.
agreed
but if UK plays their best, I think Kansas is the only team who can beat them
by doctorofdunk on Mar 18, 2010 10:22 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm counting on someone in their region (cough, cough, WVU) to take them out
I REALLY don’t want to have to root against them in the Championship game. it would feel like they already won
Yeah right
the way our conf. is playing, WVU isn’t gonna get anywhere near UK.
Well, WVU has a guy who has mastered the game winning shot
so I don’t think they will choke in Round 1 or 2
LOL @ Big 12
11 points in 16 minutes of combined play
I stand corrected.
My family will know shame from henceforth.
My picks in the late games
Kansas, Tennessee, Texas, and New Mexico. Three have started, all are behind.
Just our luck tomorrow
the game before ours will go 5-OT and our guys will start at about 1 am.
Sure it has been said
but I am new to the convo. So disappointed in the Big East today. Rep can be rejuvenated by UofL tmw
WTF
happened to Texas down the stretch this year? I live here and nobody really pays attention cuz it’s not football. But seriously, weren’t they ranked in the Top 5 early on? Top 10 at least?
Try No. 1.
Ranked the top team in the country, lost at UConn, then went into a tailspin where they lost like 8 of 12 or something like that. Really, really weird.
Yeah
I thought they were way up there. WOW, now THAT is a collapse. We have nothing to bitch about with our program…. ever.
Tons of injuries
Also, never underestimate how bad of a coach Rick Barnes is
Big East's performance today should yield more mid-majors next year
The conference owes Robert Morris a sponsor’s exemption for the next 3 tournaments after the Villanova debacle.

make your FT’s in the Dance. Tsk Tsk.
Reminds me
of Memphis when they had the NC in hand and FT’s killed ’em.
Also
gotta get DRB in the Dance. Jesus, TX doesn’t want to win.
We all knew
there was more equality among the teams in the field this year, but this opening round has been great. There are a lot of quality teams in the tournament, but let’s be honest; putting UConn, UNC, and 29 more at large teams would be a huge mistake. Sadly, somehow I think the NCAA will look at the upsets and say, “Obviously this means that we need more teams!” Anything to justify the extra dollars.

I'd trade that
for a playoff system in football. Like that’ll ever happen.
It's not that I'm a west coaster . . .
It’s that we don’t believe in Daylight Savings.
seriously, I'm going to watch last night's South Park after this

Montana
Qvale is my favorite player now not wearing a Cards jersey. 26 pts and 12 boards
After the comments that Barnes made about not caring about the NC
he might be under a little heat this offseason

Wow.
I really wanted Texas to win because they are a better match for UK, but what a freaking tournament.
And nice choke job UT.
Neither is likely to win.
But UConn and UNC both stayed with UK based purely on talent. Texas is better than both of them.
That was before those two teams started sucking though.

UNC basically sucked at the beginning of the year.
No one really realized it, though.
Yes, but Miss St. is no Baylor or Texas.
They won’t win 6 straight if they have to face quality opponents each game. Texas is the better match up.
I thought Wake
making the tournament was a joke. I’m not very good at this stuff.
Did Texas not have any TOs left?
Because that was a pretty poor effort for 1.5 seconds.
UK
will demolish Wake. 20-point win. Damnit.
QVALE!
Monster board. He’s keeping MT in this game singlehandedly
Serious Question...
How come Louisville doesn’t have a 7ft-er that can shoot the 3?
I mean if you are a guy like that at a school like Montana, who’s to stop you from transferring after someone knows you are good?

Might not want to. Also what else does he bring to the game? He might be able to get away with having weaknesses in other places because of his strengths against lesser competition. Also in the tournament it’s hard to gameplan against a big guy that can shoot like that. With Montana Johnson is their stud. New Mexico probably focused on stopping him.

COME ON
MONTANA!!! I don’t even know what their mascot is and I couldn’t point to MT on a map. LOL
My excuse
is that I took Geography as an elective at UofL.

And fouling a better shooter at that.
(even though he’s missed the first)

Dumbest play of the day
Redding not taking the easy dunk or layup to put Nova up 5 late in that game. W.T.F.
How do you not go for three there!
You need the 3! Plus it’s on transition so D isn’t set up.

Good D by Gary...
Make up for the bad FTs.

Well
it sux that I won’t get to see more of Qvale.
He's a JR.
So he’ll be back next year.

And the other 7-0 guy is a SO.
They lose their guards though.
