World Gawne Mad – Sunday Afternoon Round of 32 Open Thread

I don’t really have the stomach for this after what happened with Houston (the closest I had to a rooting interest), but fuck it, a responsibility is what it is.

#10(E) Butler (+3.5, +145) v. #2(E) Purdue (12:10, CBS)

Suspiciously low line due to the broken right elbow of the Boilers’ better Nazi fuck centers.  He is apparently trying to have his brace cleared for combat, and to play through it.  We shall see.

#11(MW) Syracuse (+9, +380) v. #3(MW) Michigan State (2:40, CBS)

Boy howdy, this ought to be a fucking Rembrandt.  Thank God this is a national game with no channel flipping options!

#7(W) Texas A&M (+6, +225) v. #2(W) U*NC (5:10, CBS)

You have no idea how much I wish this was a JV NFL contest.  As it is not, your humble scribe has no idea how the line is only 6 in favour of the evil assholes with the bye to the Sweet Sixteen.

#7(S) Nevada (+8, +325) v. #2(S) Cincinnati (6:10, TNT)

Nevada came back from 14 down to defeat Texas.  Nevada will likely found themselves down 14 again this evening.  And keep digging.
