Feast on some tip times, my lovelies.

Like the Cat's time, just have to keep them from showing the Duke game down here.

I still can't get over that Tennessee-Butler second round matchup. Both teams should pool their resources and buy something really nasty for the committee over that.

Butler got thoroughly fucked.

A 7 seed? And they have to play an Alabama team in Alabama?

Butler did get hosed...... playing a road game in Birmingham. That So.Alabama team is pretty damn good, Butler has it's hands full .

Yay, one of my favorite work weeks of the year! The office goes nuts on the first round games.

The times for Stanford/Cornell and Texas/Austin Peay have been fixed.

Look out Portland State!

So, how good is Georgetown and how dumb would having them get upset in the second round by Davidson be?

G-town is not as good as last year but they are still probably a top 10 team at best right now. Davidson will lose.

They'll have the home-court advantage, but I don't think Davidson is nearly as good as Gonzaga. At least they don't have near the amount of weapons.

SC is final four bound

Gonzaga lost to San Diego in their conference tourney. I think Davidson's gonna be able to pull it off.

GAH! Dumb and bold basically mean the same thing when you're filling these damn things out.

KU beat them on their home court earlier this year.
