ASU Reps the Pac 10 and gets to the second round, joining the Bruins and Huskies.
Pitt escapes being the first 1 seed to lose to a 16.
Marquette (a fellow 6 seed) beats (barely escapes in UCLA terms) Utah State by 1.
And Dayton may be on the verge of taking takes down WVU (another 6 seed).
Looks like the media picked the wrong 6 seed to pick against.

18/24 here
With 3 of my final 4 remaining :(

Now I'm at 22/24.
At least both of the ones I’m wrong, I had that team losing in the second round, so it doesn’t hurt as much.

I think there are a lot of people that saying: "Survive and play again"
UCLA’s one point win has a lot of company today…..and looks better as the day goes on.
That is why they call it MADNESS.
And WOW you guys are doing well in your brackets!

20/24 here
I forgot I had Dayton…but I did.
We were all rooting for the American Eagles last night.
Today: GO BOSTON COLLEGE EAGLES.

Here's a slightly more complicated dilemma
Do we root for Arizona or not? On one hand, they’re in the Pac 10 and them moving on makes us look better. On the other hand they’re Arizona, and they shouldn’t have been in the field in the first place.
by Tydides on Mar 20, 2009 3:08 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm not
I have never really liked Arizona, ever since I went to UCLA in the late 80s. I hate Lute and I never cared much for their fans. But that’s just me.
It’s probably a good discussion for another time, but I don’t really get the whole “Root for the Pac 10” thing. I don’t think Cal ever roots for us. We know SC doesn’t. I haven’t a clue whether any other Pac 10 schools root for us.
So, I’m kind of torn on the whole Pac 10 allegiance thing. But again, it’s probably a discussion for another time. We have bigger fish to fry, starting with Lil Romeo.
by Barnes2JJ on Mar 20, 2009 3:20 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Cal roots for us
They root against us within the PAC10. All part of the “LA Sucks” mantra in the Bay Area. I attribute it to the small guys pissed at the big guy (= Boston saying “NY Sucks”)
But against the rest of the world, the root for the rest of the PAC 10.
At lkeast that is my experience (went to CAL for grad school)
by Bruin Dad and Grad on Mar 20, 2009 3:32 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Fair enough
I mean, I get the whole “LA sucks” thing, having lived most of my life in San Diego.
But I don’t see why people just have to absolutely detest any particular area in the country. LA has some sucky qualities. And LA has some great qualities.
But the Bay Area folk (and a lot of people in San Diego) just hear “LA” and equate it with Pure Hell.
I don’t get it.
by Barnes2JJ on Mar 20, 2009 3:36 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'll be rooting for them
I’m not the biggest fan of a few programs in the Pac 10, Arizona included, but I still root for every team in the conference except for SC.
by Ryan Rosenblatt on Mar 20, 2009 3:21 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Likewise
Also, in regards to what other Pac-10 fans think of us (or any other team) in tournament play: I don’t know what the consensus among fans are, but my experience among my fellow Pac-10 alums in law school was positive. We had alums of all the Cali schools + UW and Arizona, and we all supported each other once the Madness began. Whether it is a natural feeling, or the effect of being surrounded by ACC alums/Pac-10 haters/Ivy leaguers thinking that Duke is the greatest thing ever, I do not know.

I'm rooting for any PAC-10 team
even $C and Arizona. As much as I detest those !*ckers, I love to see the PAC-10 do well on a national stage.
by kimjongil on Mar 20, 2009 3:44 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I refuse to root for any pac 10 team simply because they're in the same conference
Once tourney time starts. Only time I root for a team is if it directly affects the Bruins in the standings, and at this time of the year it doesn’t matter one iota.
by bruinhopeful on Mar 20, 2009 4:21 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I let any outside alliegences factor into rooting (or not) for other Pac-10 teams
All else equal, I support the Pac-9, but if there is another team that I like, or have family connections to, they come out on top.
If Virginia ever makes the tournament again, I root for them against everybody but the Bruins. Texas gets my support over most of the Pac-10, while I would also lean somewhat in favor of Michigan and Marquette (for my uncle’s sake).

i gotta root for them all
atleast the beginning. i’ve gotta deal with big 10 people so anything to shut them up about the pac 10 being weak i appreciate
also i wouldnt normally want usc to win but if we had to go down for them to make it in im glad they atleast did something with it…

Dayton played West Va. in MINNEAPOLIS.
Although I want OUR guys to buck the trend, I always love picking a first weekend upset or two based on sheer geography.
Dayton filled that role nicely.

Mixed emotions re Pac 10
While I feel semi vindicated that the pac 10 went 5/6, while watching the AZ and SUC games I felt indifferent to whether they won or lost. I’m interested in what happened to Cal to have them lose so bad – I heard it was bad refs and likely also missing the 3s.
Also, Fox71, if you are out there, we exchanged msgs a couple years ago on bruinsnation while i was writing my law review article (or supposed to be) and appreciated your words of wisdom that helped get me through that dark time.

It's important for the PAC to do well
1. It doesn;t give the East Coast biased media as much ammo to bash the West Coast Athletics and credibility.
2. If they don’t do well it leads to arguement that UCLA (and other PAC teams) didn’t play anybody, decreases our strength of schedule, and leads to lower seeding. The reputation of the conference lives on for future years. So a strong showing will hopefully lead to higher seeds in the long run.
3. Like it or not, if the PAC consistently does don’t do well in the tourney, the PAC will become like the WCC, Big Sky, WAC, etc . . . this would not bode well for UCLA
4. If the Bruins are typically winning the PAC every year, it means a whole lot more to win a strong conference.
Enough said, I think it’s clear that we should root for the PAC (now SC is a different story though, sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t)

Wow, so much for the ACC
After BSPN hyping up the ACC all year long, and the ACC calling themselves the #1 conference…
Wake Forest, Florida State, Boston College, and Clemson out
So much for the ACC being deep.

The pac 10 was horrible as the pundits expected
I mean, sending only 5/6 teams instead of 6/6 teams past the first round? Ridiculous.

My favorite play of the night was in OT
FSU versus Wisconsin. It’s a loose ball and a player from each team runs over to it. Neither got a handle on it and it went out of bounds about 2 feet in front of the ref. What does the ref call? A jump ball of course because he didn’t know who it went off of and why would he? He was only three feet away from it with the perfect angle. What conference does he referee for? The Pac 10 of course.

Ok, which one of y'all has Wake Forrest in the National Title game on the BN bracket group?
Thanks for making me feel slightly better about my West Virginia final 4 pick. ;)
