Don't get too comfortable, kids...

And maybe at a decibel they didn't even know existed?

I'm not falling for it, but this seems like a much closer game than the score right now. We've doubled their points so far. Need to extend that lead!

That play looked a lot like how we lost to Illinois

The boosters made it 3.5 minutes. Better than I expected Meanwhile, the commentators are making it sound like everybody is still standing.

Get those supporters a beer!

That's one way to start an electric game.

I sold my couch on Craigslist so that I wouldn't have a place to sit for this game.* * Okay...maybe I didn't. But that's the significance of this game tonight.

Updated. Only Minnesota/Purdue, Penn State/Nebraska, and Northwestern/Iowa games remaining.

45-36 Colorado over UCLA at halftime. Three point contest right now.

Current Gizmo Status: "NIT bound."

Calling the Houston game over already. 71-19 with 17 minutes to go. Remaining Games: Illinois/Rutgers 35-30 Halftime UCLA/Colorado 2-3 18:19 1st Minnesota/Purdue 3 pm CST Florida State/NC State 5 pm CST

Furman's first win at ETSU since Jan. 8, 2005. Seems the Southern Conference is officially a one-bid league now.

Aside from our game, the biggest impact game on the night for us is coming up in a couple of minutes on ESPNU. UCLA lost on Friday and may be looking at a 2-game losing streak if Colorado can take care of them.

Either that or Rasmussen wants to know what a clean program looks like.

I wonder if Miles Bridges paid the refs...

Check in for 1st batch of games: Michigan State/Wisconsin 50-49 7:09 2nd Marist/Canisius 37-43 1:56 1st Furman/ETSU 34-30 2:20 1st UCF/Temple 15-28 3:52 1st

Updating throughout the day.

I want to see this kind of tenacity and grit out of our men's squad tonight!

The women's team is trying to find their way into the field of 64 at this very second at Maryland. Let's go 2-0 in Nebraska hoops today!

It's a quiet morning on the interwebs. Hopefully everyone is well rested and is ready to stand for a few hours this afternoon!

What criteria did you define at bid-stealing? I'd almost put Loyola-Chicago, East Tennessee State, Vermont, South Dakota State, Buffalo, and Louisiana in that borderline category if they lose in the finals. More Vermont and Louisiana than anything.

Starting a new thread on this so we don't flip back-and-forth in this thread between bubbles we want to burst versus at-large teams we want to win.
