Arena March Madness 2013 Live Chat

Another installment of March Madness demands another Live Chat thread.

Or, at least DMC demanded it.

In any case, here it is.

Sparty and Valpo are getting us kicked off. Sparty, thee of Izzo's March Magic against Valpo, and one of the greatest buzzer beaters of all time:



How was that fifteen years ago?

In any case - the pick, the root, here is for Sparty.

 

Sparty is put a beatdown on Valpo. holy hell.

Butler-Bucknell is off to a slow, sluggish start. Picking/Rooting for Butler.

 

Seems like MSU is pulling away as expected. Butler Bucknell is fairly tight early.

 

Butler up seven now, threatening to start to pull away. Could be an excitement-free start to the tournament.

 

Well, it is less emotionally draining that way. Hopefully we'll have more drama this afternoon.

 

Wow. Sparty is just ridiculous right now. So ridiculous, in fact, Valpo should have brought a boggart.

 

Wow, the Butler-Bucknell score is looking like a high school score at the moment.

 

You clearly don't watch a lot of Wisconsin Basketball.

 

At least they actually win games.

 

Pitt-Wichita State just tipped.

The Pick: Pitt
Rooting for: Wichita State
Hoping for: Awkward photos of people giving the shocker symbol

So - I've got Sparty-Valpo on the TV, Butler-Bucknell on the Tablet, and Pitt-Shockers on the Computer. Life is good.

 

Sparty through to the next round.

Bucknell-Butler has tightened up. Bucknell went on a run and took the lead, now Butler is on a run and has retaken the lead. Too bad this game can't have Gus Johnson

 

Hm, that game is getting interesting. Too bad it's not on TV.

 

truTV doesn't count?

 

NMSU-St. Louis has just tipped, too

The Pick: St. Louis
Rooting for: St. Louis
Hoping for: No over-the-top sappy tributes to Rick Majerus.

 

Butler pulls away in the end and is off to the second (in my world) round.

Memphis-St. Mary's just tipped.

The Pick: Memphis
Rooting for: Memphis
Hoping for: Angst-filled Memphis fans to break twitter with anti-Calipari tweets

 

When you only have network TV, it doesn't.

Marquette/Davidson was crazy. My bracket is still intact.

 

Believe it or not, that's wasn't a slight to Wisconsin.


And, oh, what a stomach punch for Davidson.

 

I think most have picked Gonzaga as the first 1 seed to be beaten.
