And UK wins. Fun game, was hoping UK would underperform like Princeton but they woke up in the 2nd half.

So Florida has not had a player foul out all season. The only team in the nation to not have a had a player foul out this season. That seems amazing to me.

Anyone know the UF team and know if it's because they are deep? Just good at staying out of foul trouble?

That is pretty cool, just like Michigan being the first team to win w/out a FT yesterday.

yeah, that was pretty cool too. Things you just wouldn't really think of, but are pretty amazing when you really think about it.

What's up with all this crazy scheduling? Do they really need to bunch up all the games this evening? I thought they were trying to get people to watch more games and have a choice.

I thought the same thing when I saw the times for today's games. I would guess it's so they can get the ratings of forcing everyone to watch a single game during the day. They must figure that the night games won't get as good of ratings anyway, so doing it during the day would be best.

At least that's my thoughts on it.

I thought it's about the money. Yeah ratings help for next year. However they could make it into 2 sessions, afternoon and evening. You then have 4 games in each session. Each pair of games starts 30 minutes apart and then the next pair goes shortly after. This could allow the stations to actually charge more for commercials during their game because I assume most people who follow college basketball are going to watch a lot of the games. Plus you don't have people flipping through the games during commercial unless the game is close or an interesting match up. Instead they're having multiple channels and games competing.

But you have a captive audience for at least two games where there is no other game to change it to. And the third game for at least an hour is a captive audience. If they do sessions you can still change the channel to check another game, this way you don't.

I don't have a big deal with the scheduling. Saturdays afternoons don't draw people like Sunday afternoon and Sat/Sun night.

Really looking forward to the 12/13 game (go Spiders!), and even more to tonight (go Badgers, Zags!). I don't have any more upsets picked other than that, but I think we're due for a big upset. Cinci would be my guess, although that's not as huge. I can't see Temple or Butler pulling it off...

Marquette did beat Syracuse when they played earlier in the season.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Gonzaga beat BYU, as that would technically qualify as an upset.

Yeah, but not a HUGE one. I've got the Zags though, so boooo Jimmer.

Yah Spiders!

Whoa, Pitt down early.

I had SJU beating BYU... im already screwed, but losing BYU would help me overall against others...

SDSU winning helps a bit, but i have them losing next round...

Pitt losing just fucks me... they are in the final in my bracket...
