As a reminder, NCAA.com streams all the games and offers the multiview feature so you can throw up all 4 games at once. Which ever game you click on gets the audio feed. It works surprisingly well for something that the NCAA is involved in.  

Edited to add apparently you start in a grace mode, but after awhile you will be prompted to sign in with your TV provider.

Mississippi State is already fucked. Their best player in foul trouble 4 minutes in.  

[Pancho 46268]

BYU, you're embarrassing our conference! 

(LOL jk idc)

[CurlyDumps 4650]

Already lost a s16 team. fucking limp dick can't-play-on-Sundays BYU.

[Rickylovesweed 15460]

BYU does not look ready to play at all. 1 FG in 7 minutes.

Same

[dcar00 14947]

there is some serious banging going on in this BYU game.  no blood no foul. hope the officials keep in that way. I hate when they start trying to "get control" after letting it go for 15 minutes.

[Js1 87174]

BYU woke up.  Took a while for the magic undies to kick in? 

[LTtxfan 49986]

Always easy to recognize #6's voice...

they had one of those Red Bull/coffee creamer drinks during a timeout

[Js1 87174]

Well maybe not, lol

Back to a 10 point deficit

[Rickylovesweed 15460]

BYU's issue is they live and die by the 3. 

Duquesne is daring BYU to drive but they're still jacking 3s. 

[Js1 87174]

Banks ain't open on Sunday, but they are on Thursday! 

[dcar00 14947]

I stared at this game for a while as a 6/11 upset.  I knew I shouldn't have bet on the soakers...

[4th&Five 41985]

Why did I pick against Izzo?!

[Rickylovesweed 15460]

That could have been much worse for Duquesne. Only a 2 and no flagrant 1. That could have been a 7 to 8 point possession but just 4 points. 

[Js1 87174]

They called that a 2? It was clearly a 3

[Welshy 914]

Fuck BYU, Fuck MsSt, fuck my brackets and fuck me. //Leach

 

[dcar00 14947]

how do you miss that 3 call?

The voice in my head telling me not to pick against Izzo in round 1 and that BYU was too soft for the NCAA tourney and I just ignored it all like an idiot.

[Welshy 914]

Who the fuck is this butter soft BYU team?

Yep, my bracket looks like it will be busted pretty quick. Pisses me off.

[Rickylovesweed 15460]

It will be interesting how Mark Pope's teams do in the NCAA tournament in the future. He's had a couple of good teams but this style of play seems problematic in the tournament. They are way too reliant on the 3.

Byu was the only 6 seed I picked to win, so….of course 

[LTtxfan 49986]

Is MissState gonna decide to play some defense...

geez

Not me.

[LonghornSean 4103]

I picked Miss St to E8 lol.

[Scraps 13798]

Welcome to the overreaction thread lol

[LTtxfan 49986]

Creighton vs Akron both coming out strong offensively...    nice

BYU may still win but they should have been a sexy upset pick. 

They were 16-2 at home but only 7-8 in away/neutral games. Their style of jacking 3s works much better at home where they are comfortable shooting. 

[PittsburghTiger 6340]

Sitting here at the Creighton v Akron game. It’s pretty good so far

[Uncle Nate 2097]

I picked the wrong MSU.  I'm an idiot.  I should have known better than to pick against Izzo in the first round.

 

[BigOrange1 6611]

god i hate betting unders.  took u 130.5 in the msu bowl.  55 total points in the first half and now both teams are scoring at will in the second half (and racking up fouls which will ensure many late free throw attempts as well).  so fucking weak.

[shadow_operative 15932]

these commercial breaks are much more tolerable when TJ Ford is involved.
