OT - March Madness

[dash]

St. Mary's gave Memphis all they could handle. That would have been a fairly large upset..

Good game.

That's too bad.

/Davidson and Marquette appear to be in quite the battle.

Let USC have him

If they still want him, go for it Trojans

That's too bad.

Gonzaga is too with Southern. Did not see that coming.

Davidson leads Marquette by 9 with just over 6 minutes left - That's a 14 seed looking to take out a 3 seed.

It has potential to be the biggest upset in an early tournament. I love watching this for games like this one.

Oregon looking good against OK State in the 1st half (24-18 Ducks)

 

[sbb122]

woohoo, i have davidson in my money pool...

 

[evolver115]

No!!! Davidson might blow it!

 

[sbb122]

woohoo, i have davidson in my money pool...

might have spoken too fucking soon

 

[evolver115]

That'll do it. Gotta give Marquette credit, they hit 3 three-point shots in the final 1:30 of regulation

 

[dash]

Oregon up by 11 entering the 2nd half, c'mon Ducks (gotta have a #12 seed take out a #5, it's a March Madness rule)

 

[evolver115]

Manute Bol's son plays for Southern, and John Stockton's plays for Gonzaga. Perfect matchup.

 

[dash]

Zags starting to pull away in the 2nd half, but Southern is certainly giving them a tough time...

 

[dash]

54-38 Ducks with just over 11 minutes left.

 

[dash]

All of a sudden, Southern pulls even with Gonzaga (56-56) with 3:44 left.

Yikes.

 

[evolver115]

What the hell kind of call is that?


Great answer by Pangos!

 

[dash]

Nazzy can breathe again as Gonzaga squeaks out a 64-58 victory...

Edit: Pangos and Olynyk (two good Canadian boys) scored 17 of Gonzaga's final 21 points

 

[dash]

Also, Oregon moves on taking out Oklahoma State 68-55 (#12 over a #5)

 

[Destroydacre]

So apparently two of the three refs in the GU/Southern game occasionally ref in the SWAC and both worked Southern games earlier this season. Conflict of interest anyone? Honest to God how the hell does the NCAA let that happen?

 

[dash]

Harvard knocks off New Mexico last night - That close to having two #14 take out a #3 yesterday (Davidson almost took out Marquette)

Ready for day two? (I don't really count the play-in games)
