Man, how can State fans put up with Gottfried? he just stood there and watched his kids have no clue how to beat that little press SLU threw at them. you can't blame sideline coaching for missed FTs but by the time SLU had turned it into State having to score other than the foul line, the Pack seemed clueless as to what to do.

Gottfried is a salesman, but he's not a coach and he's definitely not a closer. No coffee for him.

Gottfried actually kinda looks like a cross b/w Alec Baldwin and Jack Lemmon...

They said on Mike and Mike this morning that out of 11 million entrants in the billion dollar pool, there are 17,000 left with a chance to win (picked all 16 games correctly, which is more than I thought there would be). So that's 99.85% of the people knocked out on the first day. If that rate holds today, there will be 25 people left tomorrow...

you can take the Gottfried out of Alabama, but you can't take the Gottfried out of the Gottfried

UGH...so I figured if you're gonna win you gotta pick some random ass team to do it - so mine was BYU to make the sweet 16. I had Iowa St in the final four. Ohio St. already knocked me out but damn.....

the day of reckoning has arrived for UK and UNC.

I just wanna see us play Wichita St.

I've read that UK wouldn't have the dominant crowd which was a little surprising to me given its St. Louis.

The question is - will the Kansas/Wichita St people cheer for UK or Kansas St?

Dook is indeed in a dog fight. Not saying they're going to lose, but if they do, I wonder how many of the 17,000 still in the billion dollar pool picked Mercer?

Typical recipe for Dook tourny failure (although it's the only thing keeping them in this game right now): They've jacked up 34 3's and hit over 40%. That will usually win you the game, but how often are you going to be able to do that 6 times in a row?

For some reason I have Dook going to the FF in my bracket, but I am going to LMAO if they lose this game. I hope they do...
