2012 East Regional discussion

Ken Pomeroy predicted this would be the year a 16 would win.

About an hour or so later the Fab Melo news came out, as well. Interesting indeed.

Still, #1's always seem to have a 35-6 type of run in these games.

 

[Bucklion]

Well Syracuse was the first #2 to lose...could they also be the first #1?

 

[Bucky32]

Anyone actually take the chic pick for Wisconsin to lose that the mediots were perpetrating? It seems like they never lose in the first round, and this year looks no different...

I did...then I realized Wisconsin is 9-1 in the first round under Bo Ryan.

 

[localyokel]

Well, shoot!

I definitely bet 'cuse to be first out, and didn't see them advancing very far, but I sure didn't dare give them so little respect that I had them losing their first game.

I must admit I do not have UNCA winning this game on my bracket.

 

[localyokel]

At least it's close (right now) so maybe they'll wake up. I'm not a fan. I just don't want my otherwise perfect* (as of 4:17PM ESDT) brackets tarnished.

*Let me enjoy it while it lasts. I'm always brilliant for about the first 32 hours of the tournament. Then my golden coach reverts to a stinky, rotten, rodent-infested gourd.

If Asheville pulls this off I might actually piss my pants.

 

[Bucknut24]

I don't understand why that foul didn't count? The foul occurred before the shotclock, so shouldn't it just be 2 FTs?

The shot clock read 0 before the ref made the call. It was close but go back and look at the slo mo.

 

[colobuck79]

Point of clarification: Was that first half of basketball done under Jim Boeheim's watch?

coulda sworn the arm was up before the shotclock hit 0

 

[THEWOOD]

this is fantastic

 

[localyokel]

Oh, well. After they wreck everybody's brackets, at least we'll have our vbet first-out winnings to comfort us.

They wouldn't really wreck my bracket.

 

[Bucklion]

Won't be a total wreck...I only have them winning 2 games, a lot of people only have them winning one.
