ETSU is giving Pitt a hell of a game. I'm impressed. They just don't have the talent to get over the hump. 4 point Pitt lead with 3:32 left. ETSU was down 2, could have tied it up but they let Pitt get the steal!!!

Ok, so Temple Lost. Come on Dayton.
My CBS affiliate has the ESTU/Pitt game on now and there are some instances where I wonder if the Refs were giving that game to Pittsburgh. There are quite a few questionable non-calls down the stretch.

It would have been fun to see Pitt go down... even though I have them winning it all. 
March, right?
I have the Mountaineers in the Sweet Sixteen so I'm hoping they pull this one out from under Dayton. They are too talented to go out in the first round.
It seems like the bigger more well-known schools get more leniency in the calls than the smaller schools.

I know this is random, but I was pulling for N Dakota State for one reason. I want to hear Gus Johnson go wild. I remember when he called the game with Xavier and Ohio St like 4 years ago and then the UCLA/Gonzaga game in Oakland a few years ago and when he goes nuts, I love this tournament even more. Would have been fun. He really is the best announcer on the CBS team.
You're telling me.
Dammit, Dayton. Of course you won and completely screwed me over in my brackets. I didn't pick Dayton on a single one and have West Virginia going to the elite eight on two others. Why do I even try?
I'll never listen to the upset special prognosticators again. They don't know squat. Shoot, I'd love to see the Pitt that showed up today show up on Sunday. That would be a dream. I hope the same refs don't show up.
I think ETSU outrebounded Pitt. Darn, why couldn't that Pitt team show up on Sunday? They'll probably have all the kinks worked out by then.
Lose the temple game, get the Dayton game. I'll take it.
I thought so, too. Amazingly, Pitt wins that battle by the count of 46-39. My heart goes out to the Buccaneers of ETSU. That was one of the most spirited performances of this college basketball season.... and it would have looked even more brilliant if the game ended after 39 minutes instead of 40.
That Pitt-OSU 2nd round game should be interesting...
EDIT: Correction. I counted only the defensive rebounds. Duh. Accounting for the offensive rebounds, ETSU gets the edge: 58-54 in total rebounds.

Yes, it should be which is why I'm bummed. I'd convinced myself that my cowboys didn't have a prayer and now, of course, I have the slightest sliver of hope. Which will come back and bite me hard on Sunday, most likely. Damn those slivers of hope. State knocked a Jamie Dixon coached Pitt out of the tournament the last time they played in 2004.
There are two really really good games going on right now. One's in overtime and the other is just going into Double Overtime. The Madness is on.
Oh frak me, Wake Forest lost, too? Oh for....my brackets are so bloody shot. Crap. Bloody hell, I want my Oklahoma State Cowboys to beat Pitt on Sunday. If every other little podunk team can win then so can mine.

They'll have a good shot to win if the Panthers play like they did against ETSU. My brackets are screwed, too. I had Wake Forest advancing to the bloody Sweet 16! And Siena beating Ohio State? The ending to that contest looked disturbingly similar to the concluding seconds of the Tennessee-Oklahoma State game.
You're right. It did look similar to the OSU/Tenn game. I had Wake going to the sweet sixteen as well. I'm sure I picked Florida State, too. I think I picked Siena on a coin flip for all the good it did me.
I think they were determined not to repeat what happened with American
A lot of blow outs today. Kind of a shame that the Saturday/Thursday games are not as good the Friday/Sunday games this time. Hopefully we can get a good game tonight.
