World Gawne Mad – Thursday Evening Opening Round Session

Hopefully, you were able to stick it to the man and enjoy the first eight matches.  Regardless, here are eight more for your gluttonous consumption.

#16(E) Radford (+22.5, N/A) v. #1(E) Villanova (6:50, TNT)

The Highlanders outlasted my Blackbirds on Tuesday night, but that and $3 will get you a cup of coffee.  Nova won’t so much as let them hang around awhile.

#12(S) Davidson (+4.5, +175) v. #5(S) Kentucky (7:10, CBS)

This line keeps closing, and I don’t get it.  Davidson has some hoodoo against Rhode Island, but I don’t see that translating to Kenfucky, who are legitimately in the zone, and red hot.  Look for the better Wildcats’ defense to shut down the lesser Wildcats’ perimeter offense.

#11 San Diego State (+4.5, +175) v. #6 Houston (7:20, TBS)

Speaking of hot…both of these teams.  I could see Houston going on a super-long run, but this matchup is dangerous as fuck.  Should make for excellent viewing.

#14(E) Steven F. Austin (+11, +500) v. #3(E) Texas Tech (7:27, truTV)

Ordinarily, taking down a 3 seed would be asking a lot of just one guy, but Guns Up!! are quite overrated.  Could definitely see this one going down to the wire.

#9(E) Alabama (+2.5, +125) v. #8(E) Virginia Tech (9:20, TNT)

Another very watchable game, though I suspect Roll Damn Tide may have shot their damn wad in the SEC tourney.  Their PG is a legitimate star in the making (unlike Trae Young).  VPI just annoys the fuck out of you until you find you’ve somehow lost by five or so.

#13(S) Buffalo (+8, +320) v. #4(S) Arizona (9:40, CBS)

What does Vegas know that is keeping this line in check like this?  Shouldn’t Fat Sean’s NBA bunch run train on a MAC-tion side?  I’m just confused here.

#14(W) Montana (+10, +475) v. #3(W) Michigan (9:50, TBS)

Michigan is white-hot, or rather, they were before taking like a month off since the B1G tourney ended.  We shall see if that has an impact.  I know fuck-all about the Griz.

#11(E) St. Bonaventure (+6, +225) v. #6(E) Florida (9:57, truTV)

We remember the Bonnies from Tuesday night’s comeback win against UCLA, and they get plenty of rest in prep for Thursday’s nightcap.  The betting line is highly favourable, especially if one thinks the Gators kinda suck (as I do).

Coaches should just have to surrender to the FBI in postgame pressers as they are eliminated from this year’s tourney.

Unsurprised

I would prefer a more Aztec method where they have to cut their own hearts out.

I absolutely demand the team captains as well for pro sports, especially football.

AND HERE COME THE SCRUBS!!!

I’m working on a mock draft and it keeps getting totally fucked up with all of the moves these teams are making.

Not that I have any fucking idea what I’m doing anyway, but predicting this year’s draft is impossible

Can a team “show a lot of quit”? Because that’d be this Arizona team.

Horatio Cornblower

So there’s your answer: a major program must be down 19 or more points with less than 5 minutes to go before the announcers will address the massive corruption scandal about to engulf said school.

I have turned this game off. In a season when the PAC gets 0 tournament wins, the most important thing is no one else won the conference/conference tourney.

At least I’ve got my Cardinals!

Horatio Cornblower

Sean Miller should’ve saved some of that recruiting petty cash for the referees.

Spur

how many of those Arizona players are calling agents during this TV timeout?

Horatio Cornblower

Yes

I see my useless bracket is tied for first place. A) that won’t last and B) DAMN YOU WOLFPACK FOR RUINING MY (unlikely to persist) PERFECT FIRST DAY

I’m shocked but not surprised. With how many fucking commercials these games have, I’m probably fortunate I won’t have to watch CBB again for a decade.

Like Buffalo, I too had good ball pressure early but lately it’s taking longer and longer to finish that morning pee.

Why do I get the feeling something very similiar to this is in Hippo’s not-too-distant future:
