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.
what, NOW everyone wants to start making shots?
I always, always, always make the mistake of thinking Texas is better than they are.
you and every AP voter, in every sport
I expect them to be good simply because they are drawing from such a titanic student population. Which makes about as much sense as expecting India to be a perennial Olympics powerhouse.
maybe they will back Bollywood-style synchronization a sport, but without water or ice
I mean, all they did was talk shit about Mark Gottfried. It was all true.
Nice flop Cody. Shoulda transferred to Duke you piece o’ shit.
goddamnit, Caleb
– Things said in Utah in private
Cameramen scouring the stands for little kids rather than busty girls. I think this is a step backwards tbh.
“Let’s not be hasty!” – Marc T., parts unknown
“Why not both?”
-Roy M.
1.9, I sez
I haven’t seen a Jericho crumble like that since 2300 BCE.
what was that by Texas??
College Basketball is almost like the NBA? No way!
This fucking thing’s going to OT.
MAYBE NOT! – points and laughs at teh Shaka
La Bamba no bailar
Smart coach with the super-hot black wife (boy howdy, will Texans be mad to lose to HIM) not calling timeout to let the defense set up.
GO PACK!!!!
/up yours Shaka
Shaka NOT Smrt?
that was…poor clock management
“I know, right?” -Providence
somewhere Andy Reid is smiling.
Is it wrong that I hope a Martin fucks this up?
YES
You bettings aside, I mean.
still – bad Karma
Fuck those guys.
“…again, Bamba.”
-Things said about this game and by a Hispanic terrorist leader
/would sell my soul for more Texas games
When this guy Bamba becomes the divine-right Emperor of America, it still won’t impress Putin because Russia’s Tsar Bomba was bigger.
speaking of hair, how about this TX asshole with the “Veronica” style barette?
I was just thinking how much I want to punch him.
“…the size has bothered him all day.”
-Things said about both basketball, and the gay sex olympics.
Can hazard a guess as to which will pull better ratings in the PAC-12 viewing area this weekend…
“…both Cody and Martin very good with the ball(s).”
Can’t wait for some team in LA to draft this Bamba guy.
Have all the 5 seeds won/are winning? The Illuminati has disbanded!
[jumps out window]
the late morning games have been lacking the excitement from yesterday. i blame Texas
Yup. tWBS gettin’ stoned as fuck tonight for the first time since Vegas.
(yay)
So what’d I miss?
you see Marshall win? After that, sweet fuckall
I just saw. Jeebus.
Hey, at least my west region is still perfect until Florida State fucks me tonight.
Cousinfuckers look shaky. I wouldn’t feel great about facing the Tundering Turd like this.

i think this Putin guy is up to something.

too bad I have had too much coffee to nap. Poor planning.
Nevada is making Texas look good. Life tip, never trust anyone with a top knot. Let lone twins with them.
The post-game mini-interview seems dated to me. Back in the day you’d get some euphoric exclamations but that time has come and gone. Sure, once in a while you’ll get “Can’t Wait” but 99 times out of a 100 it’s fill-in garbage.
So I guess the 13-4 matchup is the new 12-5?
appears so
I’ll take that.
What will the 13/5 be?
Butler? Butler.
/they’ve got it maid
thank fuck for Marshall, otherwise this has been dull as dishwater
I’ll take a nine point lead. That shooting was… ungood.
Even older, even better:

“Why does the belly get all the attention? I’ve put in the work and I don’t get any credit all!”
-Huggins’ Bloated Face
oldie but goodie:

I got a cool looking European starling CRUSHING the suet cake I just put out. He’s been hitting it for at least ten minutes. I know it’s safe, too, because murder cat is right here in my lap.
I assume murdercat and oxipug could be a buddy cop show.
Live bet Pig Sooey to win/draw (split bet) the half at 40-53, too!
“Gottdamn it, guys! You’ve got to be more disciplined!”
-300 lb. Bob Huggins during a timeout
you are at least 3 stone short
More like Blob Huggins amirite?
/I feel like this joke might have been made before.
But when he gets old and can’t control himself he will be Bob Huggies amirite?
/I aint leavin!
could you imagine having to wash him with a rag on a stick?
Rickety-Tock-Benign does it again!
Dueling airballs! What a fucking game.
Here I was thinking “The West Virginia Press” constituted a pregnant daughter, a large cousin guarding the door, a 21 year-old high school senior and a very sincere, “You’ve gotta do what’s right, Slim.”
Hey, the Martin twins have Talibeards! RESPEK!!
(this was an NC State thing, dating back like 15 years – the sacred Talibeard Tradition, and who would be the next player to continue it?)
Texas is SO BAD.
I have Nevada and the under here due to this.
wise Canadia hoser
I live bet NV $22 to win the half at 10-19 (+475)
Droptarious Montcheddar with the 3 point play!
That belly on Huggins-that’s gotta be a 15 beer/5 turkey legs a day multi-year regimen.
#NoDaysOff
Skip Turkey leg day? HELL NAH!
he would go dark meat, too. MOAR cholesterol!
Murray St. coach just took off his jacket. Shit’s about to get real.

How the fuckballs am I gonna stay up until 9:40 to watch Cuse fritter away a late lead?
Move out West?
I put $44 on youse to win outright!
$44? That’s hilarious!
I am trying new variants that have not lost previously. SMRT!
funny picture is funny:
Put your hand in my glooove of loooove….
The pillow should have a Russian flag pillowcase.
But Daddy will still NEVAR love him…
So I guess grabbing a guy’s wrist while he’s trying to throw up a halfcourt shot isn’t a foul?
Butler withers the storm.
