Berkut

I hate to see any team that was not expected to win their minor conference making it this year.

That is one less spot for my very-on-the-bubble Wildcats.

The play-in game helps mitigate the more extreme cases-- maybe we should add another one or two.

Figures.  The first half of the Marquette-Nova game was boring, so I left at halftime to go back to the office.  Turns out the 2nd half looks like a dogfight :frusty:

Lots of upsets today, but WVU beating #2 Pitt was by far the sweetest in my totally unbiased opinion :D 

Cuse & UCONN is a hell of a game so far.

UW was able to survive Garbon's alma mater and now gets to face Arizona St who beat Berkut's Wildcats for 3rd time this season.

UCONN and Syracuse just entered into a 6th(!!) overtime. Those players must be exhausted.

And the ones who aren't exhausted are probably too cold/tight from sitting & watching the game all night.  Shit, let's go for 7 OTs-- it only keeps benefiting WVU :)

Goddamn, what a game.  Hopefully Cuse is good & tired and that scary center of theirs is easier to match up against.

Jay-sus Christ. :o

I'm happy for that walk on that he didn't fuck up miserably.

Fucking 'Cuse.  I was surrounded by 'Cuse fans and was the only bastard in the bar I work at rooting for UCONN.  One would think being a Royals and Raiders fan I'd be used to losing, but it still hurts every time. :(

;D Baylor wins.

Oklahoma State wins als and the Big XII Tournament is suddenly blown way open.  Chaos reigns!

Baylor-Texas and Oklahoma State-Missouri in the semis.  The rational choice is Missouri at this point.

Rational choices flew out the window yesterday.  Your team has about as good a shot as anyone IMO :)

Texas has gotten to the finals of the Big XII tournament and lost five times including the past three years in a row.  I am a bit wary of getting my hopes up in this tourney.  They are just toying with my emotions.
