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.
Butler-Bucknell underway and a low scoring affair halfway through the first. I think Butler scrapes through, looking good on defense so far.
Sparty is put a beatdown on Valpo. holy hell. Butler-Bucknell is off to a slow, sluggish start. Picking/Rooting for Butler.
Butler up seven now, threatening to start to pull away. Could be an excitement-free start to the tournament.
Wow. Sparty is just ridiculous right now. So ridiculous, in fact, Valpo should have brought a boggart.
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
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
