did spartans change his name?

 

He's MaxxAttack in the league.

[BoSox34]

I had Montana.

[Soxfan1]

Wasn't he Longo Time?

[YanksHater213]

Wow, GW makes 2 of 3 FTs to tie it with 10 seconds left, UNC-Wlim's ball. They take it down the court get off a jumper, miss, long rebound, GW gets it, get a guy wide open all by himself on a breakaway, doesnt get the layup off in time. Going to OT now.

[MC Hammer]

Yeah GW pulled it off, and Gonzaga barely escaped Xavier. They're both done next round.

[stocker323]

Zaga will win next round if only because they have to face Indiana next round. I think they have a relatively easy road. I see Bama upsetting UCLA and then Zaga beating Pitt in the regional finals. GW's got 0 chance against Duke.

[jsinger121]

Goodbye Syracuse as they just ran out of gas after winning the Big East.

 

On a side note Gerry McNamara has no points in tonights game.

[ORS]

Wild finish going on in the Indiana/SDSt game. I love this tournament.

[jsinger121]

So many great games so far on Day 1

[Manny Goes Boom]

On a side note Gerry McNamara has no points in tonights game.

 

He had two free throws. But he had no field goals.

[jsinger121]

Didn't see that......all I saw was McNamara sitting on the pine for a lot of the second half.

Iowa loses... there goes my bracket...

[CrespoBlows]

Iowa loses... there goes my bracket...

 

Never doubt the almighty Missouri Valley Conference.

[stocker323]

I only had Iowa winning this game so that's good news for me.

[stocker323]

A 3-1 start in today's early games have given me a 2 game lead over the field with 15 of my Sweet 16 still alive. I'm feeling pretty confident right now but a lot can change over the weekend.

[Soxfan1]

Stockers in the lead. Big suprise

[stocker323]

Damn Georgetown just beat Northern Iowa. That cuts the lead down to 1 and if Kansas wins tonight then it should be all even or I'll be behind depending on other games by the end of the night.

[schillingouttheks]

I f***ing suck.

[MC Hammer]

I started out 3-4 ... now 18-6 ... pretty good turn around.

[ORS]

MSU hurt me. I had them sneaking into the elite-8.

[MC Hammer]

I love MSU losing in the first round. I hate them almost as much as UNC.

Oh, it doesn't hurt me as a fan. But it's jacking up my bracket. Izzo usually has his team playing well come March, and with two experienced upper-classmen leading the way, I thought they'd go on a little run.

[stocker323]

I had MSU only winning against G Mason so it doesn't upset me too much. My upset special tonight is the Kansas-Bradley game. If Bradley wins I'll be so pumped I won't even know what to do.

I wasn't trying to make a jab at you as a fan of theirs. I simply hate them.

I didn't take it as a jab; I was just clarifying my position.

And Bradley won
