Murray State up 3.

That reminds me of a joke I heard one time where this guy picked Au Jous(OU) over Butter(Butler)

Ha!

Better games than yesterday at least. I like the way Murray St. responded after Butler got a lead early.

 

[NickZepp]

Butler wins

 

[SoonersRule]

What the hell was the Murray State guy doing?

 

[coolm]

nice defense on th3e ball for Butler at the end there. good job

 

[red recluse]

dang. feel bad for the freshman, but he needed the pass the ball earlier.

 

[Sid]

butler wins

Defense!

 

[NickZepp]

I would love to see OU play defense like that again.

 

[NickZepp]

Is anyone else not impressed with how Tenn is played despite dominating the game?

I don't think this is really a display of how good Tenn is as much as it is how bad Ohio is.

i vote we either pretend OU is Butler or Northern Iowa for this tournament. Id cry if that were true (and theyd cry if they had our team last year)

 

[cfin5256]

Kansas better watch out; these slow starts could come back to bite them.

 

[MercedeSooner]

right on. looks like KU is buying their press release.

No excuse for them to show no intensity during these games nor allow a team like Northern Iowa to get to every loose ball. Northern Iowa is as good as most 4 seeds and KU better start realizing that.

 

[cfin5256]

That's a big no no if you're a #1 seed; you don't want to let the lower seeds hang in and gain confidence. I still think Kansas will pull away in the 2nd but they better up the intesity pretty quick.

 

[MercedeSooner]

Washington throttling NM right now, definitely thought they were much better then an 11 seed. Lets go Baylor make the Big 12 proud.

 

[NickZepp]

I thought one Big 12 team might go down today but I didn't think it would be Kansas.

 

[cfin5256]

My OUHoops bracket is beyond salvage anyway so I'm pretty happy to see UDub making some noise. I honestly thought UNM would handle them. Scratching my head the most at KU, it would be a shame to have them flame out this early from reading press clippings but can't deny I would probably get a chuckle out of it.

 

[MercedeSooner]

My bracket got beaten up by Utah St losing (2nd year in a row I picked them go far and both times I got burnt with 1st round losses). Still have the other 7 Elite 8 teams left along with 13 of the 16 but I just picked too many upsets. Did have St Marys over Nova and U Dub over NM though.

If KU goes down that pretty much knocks out 90% of all brackets.

 

[Sooner23]

I'm kinda torn on this KU game. I want to root against them, but I got them at 7-1 last spring in Vegas.

 

[Tony]

Is anyone watching Old Dominion and Baylor?
