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.
10 minute break with no games on until West By God Virginny tips off. I can piss, make coffee, and check the mail!
[bangs empty beer bottle on table]
“I WANT TRACK SUIT! I WANT TRACK SUIT! I WANT TRACK SUIT!”
“Hey Honey, where you going?….. You’re going out to buy a new table? WTF? Tables don’t grow on trees, woman!”
litre cola: bet 365 already paid out on Butler?
I had a parlay with them and the Aggies. You can always elect for a payout no matter how high or high low. I put the threshold at 90% of the bet and when they were up that big the calculation was higher than 90% of the full bet so they paid it out.
You can set thresholds for auto payouts. I always do this on the end of parlays so I get some money in case this happens.
Butler/Arky next?
yup. Good thing Litre got his payout, Pig Sooey storming back…
Oops-I edited.
You are going to make Hippo and I look crazy!
Yeah no kidding. Thank you Bet365
criminy, think I need to change bookies
Cincy manages to barely cover!
“Our prematurely balding guy is better than yours.”
-Marshall
So I have seven incorrect picks in the first round, but only one of my sweet sixteen picks is already dead.
Arizona hurt me, I thought they were going to give the fuck you to the NCAA.
Happy hippo!
Last 35 seconds took about 48 minutes, but it looks like Marshall will hang on.
$480-ish to bet the 2nd round , huzzah!
Finally guarded the bald asshole, and that’s wha happen!
Marshall is LITERALLY stealing this game.
WOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck this. Imma go find some weed.
Yes, I’m serious. Burlington, here I come.
I could kill a baby bunny with my bare hands I am so angry right now.
What do you usually use?
AR-15, like any normal God-fearing Murrikan
Ball off chin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REBOUND. CHRIST!!!!
bullshit bailout fail AGAIN
I hope none of the players are holding in a really big dump.
The Shockers interior D has all the substance of a ghost’s shadow.
again, BALLS
So many dogs get out in front and then try to ride it-basically acknowledging that they got a bit lucky. Ya got’s to attack.
Butler is already up 21-2. Yikes.
I already cashed out my parlay with that game. Bet 365 paid it out. Hahahaha.
12-3 run from Arky since.
How’s The Maid doing?
hopefully they know not to run the baseline
Good point: this gives Greg an extended timeout.
I have had teevee box on mute all half
so much ref fuckery in this game, there best not be even more
INCONCLUSIVE
PLEASE be dumb enough to play this out
this is what it’s like for a Hippo pick, they just can’t win – no matter what
Godfuckingdamnit. 89%
Then they leave bald motherfucker wide open.
Tweren’t gonna be easy…
Is Ron Paul a Marshall fan? Because…
I hope they replay that clip of The King of Track Suits asleep in the stands over and over, He’s such a beautiful man.
Flipping through people’s social media, as a soon-to-be-father, I can only say this: I hope I do not have an ugly kid.
Matthew McConaughey must be spinning…a helicopter chick right now.
Cry again, Greg!
THE BALLS ON TUNDERING TURD!
yeah, they have the set of the tourney!
I need a gott-dammed program to keep track of all the nicknames we give these teams…
I am sad Team Oatmeal Farts is out, and The House of Morgan never had a chance to catch on at all…
Team Oatmeal Farts is just amazing. Next year leading into the tourney we have to re-name all the participants.
How does a dud that is older than me play for Wichita? 25th year senior?
I wonder if they have a retirement party planned for him after this game.
A much as I loathe Marshall, the chance to beat them for a Sweet Sixteen berth warms my frigid heart. Or, is it, cools my angry heart?

I want to see that game
King of Track Suits. Catching a catnap.
FUCK. EVERYTHING. Especially Wichita.
why Cornpone Magic no shoot FTs?
I hate that bald SOB
“Well, I sure as hell don’t love you baby!”
I wonder if these workers are done or are going to put back my blind and clean up the sill. Fuck it. Either way I’m taking a nap and then sending the managers an email when I wake up.
Aside: Man In The High Castle (The Amazon series) fucking sucks.
i never liked the book and I me some alternative history books
I watched the first season, then went and started reading the book – Jeebus weeps, but it’s a damn hard read to stay interested in.
Are you not recommending the 2nd season, Herr Unsurprised?
I was wondering about that. I read the book and it just made NO impression on me at all. I was wondering if it was just me. And I like Phillip K. Dick just fine.
You’re heartless.
Which are good?
Lipscomb
WOW MARSHALL!!!!
they are just teasing me, it’s awful
another bullshit foul
Does Peter King think that Wichita State plays at a neutral court for their home games?
Outer space
Tundering Turd has withstood them Shockers first attempt to put them away.
I am old enough to remember not hating Wichita State.
/also to remember the FIRST TIME they were good, early 80s IIRC
time out to set up a play here – and a really good one – makes me feel GREAT about picking Mick Cronin to win it all. He may LOOK like HWSNBN…but he ain’t no HWSNBN.
Motherfucker!!!!
Who has two thumbs and owes the IRS $17K+ over the past three years because my tax attorney is a fucking idiot?????
Change your name, move to Chinatown. Problem solved.
Fucking lawyers.
Ix nay on the law bashing, remember where we are…..
Meh, it’s only money.
But my boat just got smaller.
Remove the kelp and plankton and it will look bigger.
Manscaping foar boats?
Sounds legit.
