If Schneider had come to play like Sumner did, W&M would be dancing.

Nah W&M was my only bet for the night and I got a little lucky to get the cover. They missed a lot of open threes, Schneider especially. It makes more sense to wait for a team like Wofford in the tourney and bet them on the money line IMO. Almost took SMC to win tonight but they gotta prove they can beat Gonzaga before I put any money on them.

I hope somebody bet on Nebraska.
How Mizzou has given up 39 points in one half to that team I'll never know. The Tigers better show up in the 2nd half.

how do you have a 3pt-line in D1 basketball and have a 59-49 game?

I was gonna play Montana until I realized it was at Weber instead of on a neutral court. Can't think of anything more difficult in college hoops than winning a conference tourney final on the road in a one-bid league.

Like Robert Morris just did. Quinnipiac was 15-0 at home this year.

I cant believe I made it through that game without falling asleep or throwing up. I know these are 16 seeds but those teams stink. Plus I thought Quinnipiac was a team from Canada.

It was ugly, but the ND was keeping Seton Hall at bay and once I realized Quinnipiac was undefeated at home this year, the second half became compelling to me.

I loved Quin's late game offensive strategy of shooting off balance 20 footers with no one in position to rebound. I know they never make the call but it looked like the Q guard got nailed on the half court shot at the buzzer.

Neither of the Big Sky teams have any shot at winning a game in the tourney, either. And Weber could be as high as a 13 seed.

You should have... what a brutal meltdown by Weber. They were up 15 with 10 to play!

0-1 -110
