This is a good game, shame it isn't on TV. Thank goodness I can watch online.

Yeah I don't know why the late afternoon games are ever on TV. Well Oregon survived. I think they weren't ready for Miami's tempo which kept the game close. I think they will advance to the Sweet 16 though.

March Madness On Demand definitely is a nice feature, especially since it's free.

I certainly underestimated Big Ten even though I had OSU going all the way. They could be 6-0 in the first round.

Not enough upsets so far. Only really 2 (Winthrop and VCU).

Bleh, this was a rather dull first round. Not enough close games/upsets.

I could have seen HC winning, but yes rather dull and not a ton of close games.

Xavier is up by 2 with 9 seconds to go...... LAME
OSU's 'Don't give Oden the ball' strategy is really working out!
edit- OVERTIME!!!!!

Yeah this would make up for a lame first round.
EDIT: Well they won't have Oden, so Xavier could still take it.

Wowsa. Talk about kicking yourself for missing freethrows.

Did anyone notice the goal tending at the end of the first half that gave OSU a basket? That shouldn't have counted. Xavier had a three pointer that they only counted as 2 pts. An OSU player stole the ball when he was out of bounds. The refs gave this game to OSU. I didn't really care, for the record I have OSU in the Elite Eight, but that was some sorry ref work. The refs cost Xavier about 5pts. in regulation.

Great game, but I think Xavier lost it more than OSU won it. They adopted the strategy of killing the clock being more important than getting points with about 5:00 left, they just dribbled outside and took crap 3 pointers for a bunch of possesions, they were asking Ohio to climb back in it with that kind of play... Then little things like the steal after the big jump(3 point?) shot that led to 3 point play just like that, cut the lead down to 1 instantly. Still though, one foul shot and they win. Shame.

I feel bad for Texas A&M playing basically a road game as a higher seed, but that's the reason I picked UL. The crowd is going nut every time they make a run.

Texas A&M survived. The top seeds continue to rule the tournament.

BC played a great first half, I though it would be like the UNC game in the first minutes, but they pulled it together. Exactly the half the needed if they want to take it.

The second round actions have been much better. Three overtime games already, and the biggest win is by only 7 points so far.
