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.

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.

Can’t sleep. I wanted to go to bed 3 hours ago and failed miserably. I’m a fucking dumbass.

Brutal! Accurate, but brutal.

Mr. Ayo

Woohoo! I’m in first! All alone. As usual.

Senor Weaselo

I’m mad at myself, I had Florida in the Sweet 16 and then changed it to the Bonnies.

That was a fun Tournament opening day.

When the very first game of the day goes to overtime, it bodes well.

UNI Panthers taught me that a 17 point lead with 40 seconds to go isn’t safe.

I feel like I wanted UNI to win so I didn’t get to enjoy such hilarity.

This looks better than the actual film. What’s the name of the actress playing Wondie?

If I were a high caliber recruit, I’d just take the money a school offered me and then de-commit and go somewhere else.

I love it! What are they gonna do, admit they gave it to you and demand it back?

Worked well for the Southwest Conference.

Tough life. Can’t do better than Qusay Trump, too stupid to stop at 1 kid, and divorces him too late to take any assets before the feds seize them.

It’s weird how much cooler she got as soon as she started showing her boobs on Shameless.

I know I picked Loyola winning in one of mine, but, I had Zona in the Elite Eight at worst in all of mine. Serves me right for listening to pundits.

I’ll tie a board to my ass so I don’t fall in.
