    damn, Texas decided to show up today.

    Knock it off. This board has enough problems without a dose of middle-age lechery.

      Rick Barnes says his team needs to play better on the offensive end. Somebody needs to tell him that they are on pace to score 92.

        Bill Simmons and Chuck Klosterman are live-journaling today's action. Good god I love Klosterman.

          Klosterman says that Jimmer will go for 40+ tomorrow against the Zags.

          Simmons disagrees and thinks Gonzaga looks good.

          I think the stats would say Klosterman is right -- Gonzaga doesn't guard the 3-point line very well.

              I'm guessing there are a lot of casual college basketball fans who haven't watched CBB since last March confused to see Tennessee and Michigan St playing so horribly.

                "Well, you guys know that if we lose, this may be our last game together"
                "The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

                "They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression."

                  In some other thread a few weeks ago I was bragging that I have not been sick for years. Last night I came down with some kind of bug. Nausea, headache, etc. It sucks, but I can't complain about the timing. Funny thing is, I imagine not a soul at work believes I am really sick.

                    Klosterman:

                    It will be pretty shocking if Obama's speech is mostly about the first-day success of his tournament bracket.

                      This was me yesterday. However, I was out for Wed and Thurs, which adds a touch of credibility to my story. I mean, if I were going to fake sick for two days to watch basketball, don't you think I would pick Thurs-Fri? That didn't stop my coworkers from texting me and giving me crap, though.

                        nice to see the "scrappy" and "well-coached" Wolverines dominate the "athletic" Volunteers.

                          Oakland made a pretty good late push, but were behind too much for it to matter.

                              In terms of reducing sensory overload, I like it when there's a 1v16 game. It's one less game I have to keep track of.

                                BTW two interesting stats from Michigan-Tennessee: one, Michigan is the first team in Tournament history to win without making a single free throw (0-1); two, it's the largest margin of victory in the 8/9 game since they started seeding teams in 1979.
