Thursday March Madness Open Thread

UCLA tourney run (via allenyw)
Ok, so according to the NCAA, today is no longer the official opening of the Tournament (see the 'First Four). But really, we all know that today is the real kickoff of March Madness, where men are men, Bruins roam freely... and trojans fall a night short. As great as this day always is, it feels so much better than this time last year with the letters U.C.L. and A on today's television schedule. Speaking of the Tournament TV schedule, every game of the tourney this year will be shown on its own on TV, broadcast on one of 4 networks (CBS, TBS, TNT and truTV). A side effect is that the start times of the earlier games are staggered a little more than in prior years, leaving less time with 0 or 1 game on, and the elimination of the annoying mid-late afternoon local news break on CBS. Of course, all games will continue to be available online through MMOD.
Here's the schedule for the games leading up to UCLA's late slot - all times Pacific:
- 9am: Clemson vs. West Virginia (CBS); 9:30am: Old Dominion vs. Butler (truTV); 10:30am: Morehead State vs. Louisville (TBS); 11am: Penn State vs. Temple (TNT)
- 11:30am: Princeton vs. Kentucky (CBS); 12pm: UNC-Asheville vs. Pittsburgh (truTV); 1pm: Richmond vs. Vanderbilt (TBS); 1:30pm: Northern Colorado vs. San Diego State (TNT)
- 3:45pm: UC-Santa Barbara vs. Florida (TBS); 4pm: Wofford vs. BYU (CBS); 4:15pm: Bucknell vs. Connecticut (TNT); 4:15pm: Belmont vs. Wisconsin (truTV)
One final reminder for the BN bracket competition - the deadline to submit picks is 9:15am Pacific time. The Bruins will be playing in one of the late games this evening, and we will have our usual dedicated game thread for it (and the other late games). Until then, this is your open thread for all of today's madness.
Go Bruins!

Go Bruins
Will be at Barneys on the promenade for the next 12 hours or so if anyone is in Santa Monica today. Looking forward to a great day and a close fought game against the program I admire most after U.C.L.A.
In the words of a modern Bruin great:

Big day!
Watch an hour or so at home this morning and load up on nachos and wings, then down to Pepsi Center to root like crazy for Morehead St and Richmond just because, then get back home to live for our Bruins. Blue + gold makes green today.
I love March. Let’s go!!

I am stuck in clinic until 5 pm but will be back home to watch the Bruins live! Will be counting on you guys and gals posting updates on the games going as they’ve cut off NCAA on demand internet access. Here’s hoping the BYU/Arizona II/Kansas Bruins show up tonight and make us proud. Go BRUINS!

My Favorite Time of the Year
The first two days of March Madness.
And, with this new TV format — it’s great.
Plus, Jen coming home from school, today (although fogged in in SD).
Life is very good.

I'm coming at this
from the other side… I’ll be seeing my parents for the first time in a long while today, so just know ‘66, that we ’kids’ are just as excited to see you as you are to see us.
Enjoy her spring break :)

Note to those watching online
Just remembered myself – if the game you’re watching goes to commercial, during the commercial you can’t switch away to another game. The trick is to be quick and switch away as soon as you see a timeout is coming.

i had louisville in the 8
there goes my bracket. THAT WAS A FOUL. sigh. at least now all im gonna worry about is UCLA.
Well.. there goes one of my Sweet 16 teams..
Still, an exciting upset and this is what makes March Madness so special (and better than every other sporting event in America IMHO).
Go Bruins!
I had them in the Elite-8

Although I still have bad memories of Princeton’s upset in 1996..

Question
if voiding any Calimari coached team vicories in a bracket when he vacates the season in 2 years would change the pool winner, will prizes be redistribtued?

You need recruiting violation bracket insurance.

Because I can’t bring myself to predict when we will lose.
So, I’m pleased as punch to take as many threats out of the field as possible.

That's why you pick us to win it all!
That way, you have no guilt and can still see how well you do, without bias, in the other 3 regions.
Amen.
However, I did call us losing to Florida the second time, and all my dormmates called me Benedict Arnold. I won the bracket, but AT WHAT COST?? My very soul.

rofl
Don’t know how fond women are of Pitino though…so incentive to pick Morehead as well?
Some woman was rather fond of Pitino
The result of which had him wishing that he had gone that route.
formerly bruinhoo
Yeah
was kinda referring to that! Although it would appear that he failed to get past Morehead… mistrial?
But they only led for 15 seconds!
We're havin' too much fun today. We ain't thinkin' 'bout tomorrow.
Same
But it took me forever to locate TruTV.
I'm just shocked..
My workplace did not block the internet NCAA games. My iPhone doesn’t get a signal here.. so couldn’t get the games
on my iPhone.
Go Bruins!
lol ... in DC
There is so much college pride flowing everywhere … games on every offices. It’s pretty much like a national holiday.
This should be.
It’s cruel and unusual to have to be here away from tvs.

IT's unblocked for me too, but my office computer is so old/slow already that I don't want to risk it

So late you may not see this
but for tomorrow, maybe your work has wireless?
Roses are red, violets are blue...f*** $C.
Being able to hop around is great
but they spread the games out too much. There have been long gaps with only two games going and one at halftime. They don’t need to spread four games out by more than an hour. Each game starting 10-15 minutes after the other will do.

I need a judgment call on my attire for the day
I’m wearing green for St. Patrick’s Day, but the shirt says UCLA on it. Acceptable compromise?
I wish we were playing a non-green team
Then I’d wear green socks or something like that with my Bruin attire because because we’re playing Sparty the green has got to go.

Strangely
UK beating Princeton is somewhat better for UCLA (if we win tonight).
UK winning this game = more UK fans on Saturday = fewer Florida fans on Saturday

This might be the most exciting tourney in several years
All 9 tourney games today have been close.
The thing is, it happened.
even that game stayed interesting, mostly within single digits
and WVU with a nice run to go from 9 down to up 10 or so
Speaking of YouTube videos...
How about replacing that tasteless and profane video about Duke with highlight film of the first victorious blue & gold team of the day, Morehead State?

Vandy's had a rough time in the last 5 years
2007: Georgetown’s Jeff Green isn’t called for traveling and then sinks the game winner in the Sweet 16
2008: loss to Siena in 1st round
2009: no tournament
2010: loss to Murray State in 1st round
2011: loss to Richmond
Not there yet.
Why the comparison? Is the arena empty? There are a lot of Gator fans waiting with me for the trolley. They are COCKY and not BB fans!

Could be worse, bracketwise
I don’t have them denying St John’s their Steve 16, let’s just say.

A couple tweets from from KL and LRMAM
From KL:
“Go Bruins! Where’s my Blue and Gold at?”
And from LRMAM:
“How crazy has this year’s tourney been already? Got my blue and gold waiting for the bruins’ game to come on!”

Gotta love those guys
I know RW, DC, AA, LMR, MR and AA2 are all rooting for us too. Love those BBW.

Ben Ball Warriors or Big Beautiful Women?
Go Bruins!
Ugh, I did not get what Nestor was talking about
until you explained it.
On a roll today, Oswego!
Trying to get a ban?! =p
Trying?... Sir, can't you see?
I’m succeeding quite well at it!

Fox!! You'd love this.
The audio feed for TBS just silenced the commentators. This includes the talking heads during the half-report of the Florida-UCSB game. I’m sure you’d be in heaven; all I hear are sneakers on hardwood floor and the fans cheering. Fantastic.

I'm on the West Coast (SoCal)
by the way. Anyone else having this ‘issue’?

im SO EXCITED
for the game today. I hope we show up to play. Work couldn’t get over fast enough, im leaving at 5 and not a second after so I can make it home in time to watch the game haha, this is what March is supposed to feel like, last year was such an empty feeling.
Home from busting everyone's brackets
Maybe I’m glad we’re not playing here. There’s something strange afoot. BYU in a fight now.

Just had a great Margarita but
had to return to the hotel room to watch our game. It’s all about the green in the bars and the sound is down on all the tvs (I know fox, you’d love this). But I need to be focused and channel it to our guys. Hope they haven’t had any tequila!
Go Bruins!
By the way
how come no one ever mentions that we beat BYU with all their players (even the monogamous ones)!
Go Bruins!
Lotsa Gators.
Haiving cell reception issues. No discernable Bruin section.

Wonder if we'll have a slightly earlier start
If the tipoff is scheduled for 20 mins after conclusion of Florida game, we might be looking at around a 6pm tip.
Just speculating.

They usually don't start early
They’ll just wait and start at the regularly scheduled time.

Go Bruins!

Suggestions for a place to take them for lunch? I haven’t been in the village in years.

are you looking for a quick bite? Or somewhere to sit down and have a nice lunch with a waiter?

Stuck in the city - late day + f'ing forever waiting for my phone to get fixed
Guess this means that I have an excuse to hit up the San Francisco watch party now

Stuck in RI in a house w/no cable
babysitting my grandson for spring break. NCAA feed looks pretty reasonable. Everybody else is asleep. Miss my HD big screen, but wouldn’t miss this for anything.
