Well, I have to get through these games quickly - so basically none compelling enough at first glance to consider watching the 1st half - so jumping to the 10 minute mark of the 2nd half to see if close enough to take my time.
First off, MSU vs Kansas. Seemingly compelling - but really limited time today so jumping to 5 minute mark of all games. MSU - close but no cigar.
UNC vs Arkansas. Are you kidding me??!! Arkansas?? Watching this one from the 4 minute mark and Arkansas is up 65-60.
That was a waste of time. Talk about not being prepared to win the game. Ugh - just upsetting to see a team wet their leg at the sight of Carolina Blue in crunch time.
Rhode Island vs Oregon. Sorry - I am just having such a letdown after WSU vs UK and really am not excited about watching ANY of these remaining games. Skipping to the 3 minute mark and even then hard to watch :) I am full. I already had the best omelette in the world for breakfast today and anything else (aside from watching Duke lose) is overkill!!
USC vs Baylor. Somewhat compelling as close and you know that Enfeld's wife is lurking in the stands somewhere. For those of you not aware, one of the few instances in life where the Coach's wife is hotter than the cheerleaders...............
Ok - that maybe did not deliver the point like this pic..........
Ok - back to basketball. Baylor wins the game and hey - maybe this is their year to get to the Final Four!!!
I wish I could have a channel showing the coach's pre-game pep talks to their teams!!! The Arkansas coach's "one heartbeat" thing was outstanding. Straight from Friday Night Lights....
Now we get Frank Martin's (South Carolina) "I was never good enough to play at this level, you go get it for me"......ahhhhhh - goose bumps!!
Ahhhhh - they are doing it!!!!! Jumped to the 3 minutes to go mark and they are up 9 points!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!!! Come on Frank the Tankers!!!!!!!!!! Oh good lord let them play. A block given to Duke's Kennard and man what a gift of a call. REALLY??!! The only thing that can ruin my WSU/UK reverse hangover (good feeling) is a Duke comeback.
Officials are way to involved here in the final 3 minutes. Two terrible calls against SC - then it goes back the other way with a reach on Jefferson at mid-court followed by Kennard's 5th foul. Kennard is actually a very likeable Dukie and man, that was a bad call against him. I hope this is the last game these officials get to officiate in this tournament. Quite an "ugh" after the all-star performance from the officiating crew in the WSU/UK game. I mean - I cannot think of a single thing that was not outstanding in that game!!!!
Oh man - a travel by SC and Frank the Tank somehow remains calm (about broke the scorer's table). Nice dunk and then oops - they foul on a 3 point attempt. The team is going and getting it for him, but they put him in the hospital in the process!!
26 seconds to go!! Man oh man - South Carolina is really trying hard. Just held the ball in the corner and got trapped. man oh man. First Arkansas gifted the game to Carolina in crunch time and now the Gamecocks trying to given an even bigger gift. Oh please no!!!
YESSS!!!!! Frank the Tank's Gamecock's do it!!! On to the Sweet 16!!!
ACC - looking very, very overrated!!!!
UCLA wins in a strong effort. Man oh man - that South Regional will be terrific!!! UNC vs Butler and UCLA vs Kentucky. Talk about 3 blue bloods and the Bulldogs!!!! GO DAWGS!!!
Don't come home Steve. I like you but I love Gregg Marshall!!!
ADIOS!
