The second batch of games (2:30-3:30ish starts) looks to be the best of the day. Lots of potential upsets and places where people go different ways on theirbrackets... should provide for some fun times at the bar.

Also very interested in Zona vs West Virginia in the late game... I think Zona rolls them, as of right now.. ask me again in 20 minutes.

Kentucky/Quette is the most intriguing to me..they're pretty much just guard orientated at this point...and I look forward to McNeal vs Crawford

Thank God for the March Madness On Demand thing. I have class until 1 tomorrow, and I'm pretty sure we're gonna be having a quiz, so I can't skipit. I'll just take the laptop and hop on the MMOD live feeds

I believe it's in the Bracket thread.

As for making a thread for each day I would go ahead and say at his thread can serve as the "Official" tourney thread, (unless there isanother floating around out there). Having a new thread each day seems like it would be too much since people will be making individual game threads as well. If it starts to get out of hand one thread each weekend would be my next suggestion (Thursday - Sunday).

Mayo with the first round bounce

 

[allen3xis]

Yeah, I just thought 16 games thread might cause too much clutter

But that works.
