2017 Madness – Sweet Sixteen Friday Open Thread

How do you ensure getting your cheer and/or dance squad featured on the preview post?  You beat one of the hated Blues, that’s how…

#4S Butler v. #1S North Carolina (7:09, CBS)

I’ve never wanted to hear a cringeworthy Jim Nantz “The Butler did it!!” pun MOAR in my entire stupid life.  P.S.  A player in this fixture served as the inspiration for a Commentist Party member’s chosen moniker.  Bonus imaginary points if’n you can figure out who.

#7E South Carolina v. #3E Baylor (7:39, TBS)

The Chickens aren’t really used to being the good guy, nor really having they basketball side having notice paid to it all (outside of being coached by a Mafia hitman).  But when you beat Coach K, then take on the embodiment of Rape Culture the next time out…you get a little following.

#3S UCLA v. #2S Kentucky (9:39, CBS)

CBS executives all simultaneously ejaculate (even the ladies).  Yes, I will still reluctantly watch.  Big Blue will roll.

#8E Wisconsin v. #4E Florida (10:09, TBS)

Time to see how good Bucky Badger’s deal with the devil is.  Nothing fluky about their win over Nova – they just beat ’em straight up.  The Gators are playing like a house of fire right now, so yet another gear needs to be found/goat to be sacrificed.
