The NCAA Tournament Thread

[OUHoops]

You guys don't need to stick to just this thread for NCAA Tournament talk. If you want to start threads about specific games or players or whatever, go for it. I'm just going to archive all of the meaningless notes/thoughts I stumble upon in here.

Was it last year that something like 3 of the first 4 games played on the first day ended up with significant upsets? It was crazy.

I really want to see the Vandy/Harvard game and the WSU/VCU game.

IMO, the highlight in each timeslot tomorrow:

Midday: Murray State vs. Colorado State
Afternoon: New Mexico vs. Long Beach State
Evening: Wichita State vs. VCU
Night: Iowa State vs. Connecticut

Cal making the Pac 12 looking worse than thought.....13 whole points for the first half against So. Florida

 

[OUHoops]

Former OU/Capel recruit Jawanza Poland doing some nice thing for South Florida.

 

[WTSooner]

I've been meaning to ask this, did we recruit the good guard that plays for WV? Blanking on his name, but when I heard it earlier, it sounded familiar.

Truck Bryant?

 

[Sooner_In_MI]

Truck Bryant?

If he's talking about Truck Bryant, WT's definition of a "good" guard varies significantly from mine.

 

[Boomer]

One of the best work days of the year!

 

[WTSooner]

Anybody have a link to watch the games?

Anybody have a link to watch the games?

If you pay $3.99, you can watch any game. Otherwise just go to CBS On Demand and you can view the game on that channel only.

 

[Escape Goat]

I'm currently watching it on firstrowsports.

 

[AdaSooner]

I'm watching the games on our big screen, kicked back in an easy chair with my feet propped up.

I feel for you guys who have to work! Being retired does have its advantages.

I didn't know you were THAT old. :facepalm :vitale

The link to watch the games is: http://www.ncaa.com/march-madness but you have to pay $3.99 to get access.

Coke Zero is giving away promotion codes to watch for free. Text 0OKLAHOMA to 2653 and follow the instructions. It is a zero in front of the name.

 

[WTSooner]

Thanks. I already paid the $3.99. Small price to pay to have access to the day games today and tomorrow.

Did they charge last year?

 

[Boomer]

No, it was free.

 

[KCRuf/Nek]

McGruder with 25 of KSU's 40 points as they trail by five.

When you watch these games one after another you notice that a lot of these teams have ballplayers/athletes all over. Then you look at us. Just shows the work we have in front of us.

 

[Boomer]

Don't feel bad, the free codes have run out.
