NCAA Tournament - Part IV

OK, we're back for one more round of this, I'll try and get through this next batch of games and then you're on you're own (I fully realize I'm talking to no one). Here's where we stand, Wes and I have made the switch from Labatt to Yuengling, I forgot how good Doritos are (I shouldn't even have bothered with that trip to the gym this morning) and Marquette and Kentucky have the only decent game going right now.

4:05 - Kent has come out ON FIRE and doubled their first half point total, they are up to 20 points now....of course UNLV has 45. This game would be interesting if Kent still couldn't score, watching a team pull a St. Louis and score 20 points in a game would be worth watching, a run of the mill blow out, not so much.

4:10 - Marquette keeps trying to pull away and Kentucky keeps making 3s and hanging around. Marquette is up 54-49, 8:48 to go....you get the feeling Billy Gillespie thinks he can steal this one. Only 4 guys from Kentucky have scored by the way.

4:15 - Let's review - there are 4 games going on right now, 3 are 20 point blowouts, and then there's Kentucky Marquette. In other words, slim pickings.

4:20 - Enjoy it stoners. Jay Bilas just made a 2 and half men reference, to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. You're better than that Jay. On an unrelated note, CBS should get Travis Henry to guest star on How I Met Your Mother - that's a plug I could live with.

4:22 - If you like teams milking the shot clock, fumbling the ball, bumping each other and basically seeing how many times you can crash into you opponent before the ref blows the whistle, this game is for you. Hopefully there aren't many of you out there.

4:27 - Basketball jerseys on adults are never a good look. Ever.

4:30 - Marquette is up 5 with 2 minutes to go, we might actually get a close game here.

4:36 - You can't stop Joe Crawford and today Marquette can't contain him, he's got 35 and just nailed a 3, Marquette has a 3 point lead with 38 seconds to go......

4;39 - Another Kentucky 3, this one is fun. Marquette is clinging to a 2 point lead like JaMarcus Russell clings to a box of twinkies.

4:43 - Kentucky gave it hell, but in the end Marquette took care of business, winning 74-66. The NCAA tournament is less than 5 hours old and the SEC is 0-2.

4:47 - And we're LIVE at Kent State - UNLV. Guess what, this is a 15 point game with a minute to go. Here's some advice for prospective NCAA tournament teams, score more than 10 points in a half and everything else is cream cheese. Also, don't turn it over 17 times in a half, that's not good for anyone.

4:50 - We are now at the Baylor-Purdue game, Baylor is down 13 with 6 minutes to play, not looking good for the Bears.

4:55 - And we've got an 18 point Purdue lead with under 5 minutes to go, so with that, I'm going to shut this thing down. It's been fun, too bad the games weren't a little better, but enjoy the tournament people.
