Should be around 4 seconds on the clock after the correction, when they return from the timeout commercial break. TN ball, tie game.

Guess we're stuck with Marshall for at least another year.

Don't be too sure about that. I think he is going to stay but not because he didn't win this game. People know who Winthrop is and who Gregg Marshall is at this point. They represented the Big South well. What a terrible way to lose though. How about the bank shot from 3 Tenn hit in the second half with 1 sec on the shot clock? Or how about Torrell Martin accidentally tipping in a basket for them. Wow, there is a small margin of error at this stage of the season and Winthrop had its chances. Tough. But I have Tennessee in the Sweet 16 though losing to Michigan State. They may not get past Wichita though. They are good!

I went 4 for 4 with my picks in the MInneapolis region today. I did miss 2 and with Belmost leading they look like the big bracket-buster team right now

I had a feeling that UCLA would get the jets going eventuially (that's why I picked them). I am only 2 points out of the lead and looking like I'll pick up some more with a couple of upsets (Especially is A&M hangs on)

I had Iowa in the Sweet 16. that would have given me a nice bracket. They lose on a buzzer beater that was so improbable I still can't believe the shot went in. I have GTOWN in the Sweet 16 oo. I hope they survive Northern Iowa now. Stinkin North Western State! I hope I have 12 of the 16 sweet 16 teams. I have lost 3 of them already (Syracuse, Iowa, Okl). I have Bucknell, Gonzaga, Montana Georgetown in the sweet 16. Not many people have that (except Gonzaga).

I know it's only the first half but they have the lead after being down big early. And they're like our big brother who we aspire to be.

Man, the boys from CT are playing tight right now! This NCAA on Demand is incredible but it won't let me watch MSU/GSU because it says I have it on my local tv even though they are showing NC State/CAL.

GMU/MSU#8697

I have MSU in the elight 8 so this upset will kill me but I am very happy for Jim Laranaga and George Mason. Didn't think they could do it without Tony Skinn.

Looks like UConn woke up which is fine by me cause I have them winning it all!

Well, the whole thing's been a disaster for me. What w/ Iowa losing, MSU losing, I picked Cal over NC State, and nearly had a heart attack when I tuned in w/ 8 min to go and saw UConn down by 7 points.

Round 1, Day 1: I went 11-5. I missed on George Washington, Texas A&M, Utah St., Witchita St. and Montana.

Round 1, Day 2: I went 13-3. I missed on Kentucky, George Mason and Bradley.

So, 24-8 with no real bracket busters so far. 75% is better than most teams will shoot in any given game, right? I'm happy with that.

Atlanta bracket: 3 for 8
Oakland bracket: 5 for 8
DC bracket: 5 for 8
Minnesota bracket: 6 for 8

Overall I'm 19 for 32, roughly 59%.

So, yea, anyone up for a second chance bracket?
