Open Thread Part 2

Kent State is an embarrassment.....they put up a whopping 10 points in the first half. I guess they learned from the masters of futility.

UNLV 51 Kent State 30 midway through the 2nd half.

Marquette seems to be having some struggles with Kentucky, especially Joe Crawford, who has lit up the Golden Eagles with 28 points.

Marquette 59 Kentucky 51

Oral Roberts and Baylor are really bad and Baylor really shouldn't have gotten in. They are getting blown out by 20+ in their respective games.

Marquette 63 Kentucky 58 with under 2:00 to play in what has been a good game to listen/watch.

Joe Crawford with 30 points, Marquette slowing it down now. Reach in foul on Michael Porter.

I was not saying that you were horing for points. Actually, I barely even saw that many comments from you in particular. If it was you, I'd say "SS is just trying to gain frivilous points." But I didn't because it was a bunch of users. And I'm not saying that you guys aren't allowed to sit there and do what I say. Comment on whatever you like. I was just voicing my opinion on live blogs in general and how they have changed here at the chair...

First free throw good, 64-58.

Great idea SSR....please keep creating these threads for each group of games...makes it a lot easier to manage comments from a commenters prospective

65-58 Marquette, Dominic James makes both free throws.

Ramel Bradley misses the lay-up for Kentucky, but a scramble for the ball and free throws for Marquette after a foul.

66-58 Marquette after a 1-2 trip at the line.

Under 1:20 left.

Joe Crawford is going off, 66-60 with less than a minute.

Dwight Burke, 51% free throw shooter...misses the 1 and 1.

47 left, Crawford HITS THE THREE!!!! And it's 66-63!!! Crawford with 35 points!

I hate all these timeouts and commercials! It's draining the emotion right out of this Kentukcky/Marquette game! That and I am late for picking [user:Mylf] up at work. She may or may not be forgiving.

That was an amazing shot by Crawford to make it 66-63. I thought he was beginning to lose steam as UK is leaning on him more and more, but he comes through again.

Wesley Matthews for Marquette is fouled.

A 77% free throw shooter....makes the first.

68-63 Marquette, RAMEL BRADLEY HITS THE THREE!!!!

68-66 Marquette up by 2!!!

Under 20 seconds left!! Spectacular finish, and Marquette to the line again.

First free throw is good by Matthews. 69-66.

It's 70-66, and a turnover!!!!! A terrible mix-up by Kentucky, Marquette ball, and that should do it. Just 10.4 left and Marquette will survive.

I'm going to eat, let me know what I've missed.

There ya go kids, making free throws at the end of the game leads to winning.

That's it!!! 74-66.

Halftime in Omaha:

Kansas State 37 USC 27....I called a Kansas State win!

It's Texas A&M by 10 over BYU thanks to a 8-0 run to start the game. 6:55 left in the first half and counting.

Oh look Len Elmore...I'm sleepy.

Kyle Weaver and Aron Baynes are saving the Cougs... 31-29 Cougars to start the 2nd half.

Derrick Low to Aron Baynes and it's 33-29. This MacCulloch guy for Winthrop is pretty talented.

Wazzu with a 7-0 run to start the half. Darn it....

Belmont is keeping it close with Duke...Kansas State is up by 9.

Weaver for Wazzu is fouled while shooting a 3 as the shot clock ran down to 1.....

Spectacular play by OJ Mayo...and USC comes back dramatically to tie it at 47-47. Now it's 48-47 USC.

OMG, Belmont and Duke are tied at 58-58 with 9:12 left.

Am I all alone?

pretty pumped about belmont...while i can't say i picked them...i did pick WVU over duke...soooooo

Wazzu is blasting Winthrop now.

Duke by 1.

Duke 67 Belmont 64 3:08 I cannot stand Bob Wenzel as an analyst.

Both teams (Duke and Belmont) have forgotten about 2 points shots and are missing wide open threes like crazy.
