Baylor decides to show up....
And they win. I say this mainly because I hate NU.
Nice header!
Someone’s been working on their P-shop skillz!
Here are my winners
Nebraska over Baylor
Texas over Colorado
OK State over Iowa St
Texas A&M over Tech
kansas barely beats Nebraska
Texas over K-State in a rout
OU beats OSU (Blake does not even get that sweaty)
Mizzou over A&M
Texas beats kU
OU beats Mizzou
OU crushes Texas (but it’s still not enough to get a 1 seed)
love tourney time!

But we get the added benefi of my being able to watch the games from my Lucky Chair at home.

Basketball Prospectus has Log5 Predictions from Pomeroy
For Mizzou:
78.6% odds of winning tomorrow
47.3% odds of making the final
27.4% odds of winning the title
Only kansas and their much easier half of the bracket have higher probabilities at each step.

That's a tough one.
Here’s my three-team parlay for the day:
Baylor (+1) vs. Nebraska
Syracuse (-6.5) vs. Seton Hall
West Virginia (-5.5) vs. Notre Dame
THIS IS TOO MUCH TOO HANDLE!!!
I got Manchester United vs. Inter Milan at 12:45 today and March Madness going on…not to mention the monster matchup on Sunday when United host Liverpool. Thank God the Sprint Cup isn’t racing this weekend, or it’d be pure madness around here…
Reds really hammered Real Madrid yesterday.

My predictions
Baylor over NU
Texas over Colorado
OSU over Iowa State
A&M over TT
Then the next round:
KU over Baylor
Texas over KSU
MU beats A&M
OSU beats OU
Semis
Texas over KU
MU over OSU
Finals
Texas over MU
I have a feeling this will not happen though.

I would be THRILLED
… if OSU upset OU. Although facing OSU in OKC could be a recipe for disaster.

LAME...
Awful Announcing gave me the impression that we had Franklin and Fraschilla for every game.
The broadcast just opened with Doug Bell and Bryndon Manzer.

That seems like a good offseason topic.
If you could pick a food or beverage to have named after you, what would it be.
File this one away for May.
If I may suggest...
…do it like a draft. They’re very popular on KSK (either by commenter draft or contributor draft).

My 2009 New Years Resolution: Quit feeding the trolls.
So I have a dillema...
my girlfried is getting her wisdom teeth pulled on Friday and expects me to be at her beck and call all weekend. How can I somehow convince her to watch some tourney action with me (or the Mizzou games at least…if they get by Tech/A&M hopefully)?
I’ve premeditated this by ordering flowers and a get well soon balloon to arrive at her place on Friday after her surgery (I can’t take her because of work..her mom is taking her)…perhaps this will give me some wiggle room.
Take two tube socks
Put ice in each one…tie them together, put them on her head.
Put the pudding and drugs within reach

If anyone does not mind...
a score update every now and again would be MUCH appreciated. I am working on my second 13 hour day this week already and I am thinking I am not going to have a ton of time look for scores.

I am somewhat abashed to ask this
being a digital native and all, but is there a handy link to watch the tournament online?
Thanks!
today is kicking my ass, I can’t even handle the Google.

ESPN360 should have it...
and those sites in the Daily Basketball post also had a link to another place which has turned The Boy into an even bigger geek

I believe every NCAA tournament game can be watched online. Not sure about Big 12 tourney though.
30-27 Baylor at the half
In more morbid news, DePaul and Providence are in a dogfight to earn the right for Louisville to curb stomp them tomorrow.

And I have FINALLY been able to get ESPN 360 working....
the computer and I just went 12 rounds, but I won it in the 12th with a knock-out.
Now…if I was only going to actually be at my desk for most of the rest of the day

When I read “Baylor” in the subject, and the comment starting with “In more morbid news”…
…I was sure you were going to say something about Patrick Dennehy, Carlton Dotson and Dave Bliss.

DePaul up 4...7:20 to go
but their best player (by far) has 4 fouls and they have no choice but to leave him in. Should be interesting.

…The Beef will have to share his Matt Davison story at some point…
Rock M Nation
Thrust nunchuk upward!
8/9 game....just like this one was....
We were in Kemper and going to the entire tournament. It was the first game of the day. Matt Davison entered the game in the middle of the first half, and my two buddies of mine and I (one of whom was a Colorado fan and did not otherwise care) decide to give him the Ryan Robertson treatment and boo him each time he touches it. Of course, with abotu 2,000 people in the place, it does not take long to see us doing this. So we would start, Davison would pass, and we would stop, getting some laughs as people put 2 (Mizzou fans) and 2 (Matt F#ing Davison) together.
So Davison decides to chuck up a 3…and promptly air balls it. This gives us additional fire and ferver as we three are unrelenting. It was not long until he made his way back to the NU bench and we never saw him again….

Dale Murphy
I went to an Astros/Rockies game at the dome, and Murph was playing left field for the Rocks.
It was a sparce crowd, and we were sitting right above the CR dugout. We started (for no aparent reason) to give Murph the business. He struck out twice and grounded into a double play. He missed a pop fly in Left. Every time he trotted back to the dugout, he’s have to look right at us.
We get home after the game and flip on Sportscenter, and low-and-behold “Dale Murphy announces his retirement.”
/ true story.

"He struck out twice and grounded into a double play. He missed a pop fly in Left."
I’m pretty sure that describes every game of his final season.

can you give a censored version of what he said?
not at a TV
Mizzou is still a four seed according to Lunardi
The bracket has us playing Xavier again in the second round. I bet we win this time. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bracketology
I'll bet the committee's not as stupid as lunardi
and avoids a second-round rematch
here's what gets me
tell me something washington has done mizzou hasn’t.
