World Gawne Mad – Friday Afternoon Session Open Thread

Welcome to all you new Buffalo Bulls fans!  What will today bring us (please, Marshall upset)?

#10(W) Providence (+3, +140) v. #7(W) Texas A&M (12:15, CBS)

Ah yes, the team that broke Hippo’s heart/bank account against the team nobody gives a flying fuck about.  Naturally, the Aggies will win, depriving us of a team capable of beating the Holes in Round 2 (because God hates me).

#15(E) Cal-State Fullerton (+20, N/A) v. #2(E) Purdue (12:40, truTV)

They may not be long for the tourney, but holy shit let us take time to appreciate the CS-Fullerton dance squad whilst they is here, shall we?  Mein Gott!

#13(E) Marshall (+12.5, +650) v. #4(E) Wichita State (1:30, TNT)

Hippo’s Last Stand upset bet is here, and the ML has raced out to +650 (I got in at +600).  Heck, I think this game is close to even odds, so long as there ain’t a plane crash nobody told me about.  Aside from Scary Wheat’s ball handling, that is.

#15(S) Georgia State (+14, +1030) v. #2(S) Cincinnati (2:00, TBS)

The fact that my Sportsbook left this ML online after it went over triple digits let’s you know how likely it is to cash.  Bearcats roll, as they shall to the Elite Eight, minimum.

#15(W) Lipscomb (+20, N/A) v. #2(S) U*NC (2:45, CBS)

No fookin’ comment.

#10(E) Butler v. #7(E) Arkansas (+1.5, +110) (3:10, truTV)

Finally, we get an acknowledged seeding mistake!  The 10 seed a clear favourite, per Vegas and my own bracket pickenings.  Both of these teams are inconsistent as hell, but give me Big East over SEC any day.

#12(E) Murray State (+10, +450) v. #5(E) West By God Virginia (4:00, TNT)

WCS self-reported upset alert!  Hey, it’s The King of Track Suits.  You know you won’t be bored.

#10(S) Texas v. #7(S) Nevada (+1.5, +107) (4:30, TBS)

I disagree with the line movement here – Texas sucks ass.  Though Nevada ain’t much to write home about neither.  Kind of a meh matchup to close on, but whatcha gonna do?

RIKKI-TIKKI-DEDITOR’S NOTE: Request Line is on hiatus this week because, like you, it wants nothing more than to loaf around and gorge on delicious basketball today. It will return next Friday at its usual time.

Congrats to the Wolvens with the extra space in the name even though the Martin twins can still suck a dick.

And probably would.

Can’t lose to that school downstate.

Does Nevada use script in their NOBs? I guess points for creativity, but that sounds dumb.

Nevada gambling on long 3’s? Gotta say, that passes the sniff test.

I feel like there’s a Sham-wow guy joke in here somewhere.
