Random Updates....
12:21pm... I kicked off my March Madness traditon by ripping a bong hit and making a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich. It's not officially March Madness until I take a bite of the grilled cheese.
12:32pm... CBS is airing the Seton Hall/Wichita State game and Wichita state is spanking them early. I tried to log into their website to watch the other games. Site won't load. Have to rely on ESPN.
1:01pm... My only open bet, Oklahoma, is down at the half to Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
2:20pm... Bomb scare at Cox Arena in San Diego and the Marquette game is postponed. I wonder how that delay is going to affect the players? I have to assume the worst. I'm already written off that game as a loss.
2:25pm.... The Poker Nerd had a similar problem loading CBS's online coverage.
2:30pm... Oklahoma is coming back. Down 66-60 with 3 plus minutes to go.
2:41pm... Oklahoma lost to Wisc-Mil. I'm 0-1 so far this year in bets. Way to start out the year, with a loss. I actually liked Wisc-Mil as one of my first round upset teams. I picked them on one sheet. I liked how Oklahoma matched up on paper and that's why I put money on them. I should have listened to my gut.
2:43pm... Pacific justed tied the game at 65-65 against BC with a three pointer with 9.1 seconds left. Damn. I'm totally rooting for the underdog in this one.
2:46pm... OT in the Pacific/BC game.
2:57pm... Mike Webb drilled back-to-back three pointers for Pacific, the last one off of a sloppy turnover from BC. They lead 71-65 with 2 minutes to go in OT.
3:02pm... 74-72 Pacific leads with 40 seconds left. Both teams traded three-pointers during the last two possesions.
3:05pm... BC tied the game at 74 with two free throws. Pacific couldn't score. Game went into double OT.
3:12pm... Pacific lost their mud. BC went on a 7-0 run for the first 3 minutes of OT.
3:18pm... BC won by 12 in OT. Unreal. At least one of my final four teams is still alive! I also picked BC to go to the Elite 8 in both pools. That was a close scare.
3:20pm... Chad is also live blogging his afternoon. Tomorrow AlCantHang is gonna do it.
3:41pm... Montana got out to an early 2-0 lead over Nevada. I feel great about the Grizzlies' chances today.
4:10pm... Halftime of the Tennessee/Wintrop game and Tenn is up 36-34. Montana is up by 9 on Nevada. CBS is airing Alabama trouncing Marquette by 10.
4:20pm... Smoke break.
4:30pm... Tennessee started to pull away in the second half and were up by 6. Marquette is getting ass-spanked on national TV. They are down 15 in the first half. Montana is up by 8. Florida is having a tough time with S. Alabama and are only up by 6. It's been close.
4:41pm... Winthrop just took over the lead. Tenn trails by 1. Montana up by 7 at the half.
4:48pm... Winthrop/Tenn update: Tie game at 54-54 with 10:44 remaining.
5:01pm... Have to miss the next 2 hours of coverage. Heading downtown for dinner at 6pm then poker afterwards. Not pleased with the results so far. I need Montana and Gonzaga to come through in order for me to break even for the day.
