At least they took McCuller out the game as well.

[I got Arkansas +7.5, Houston -5.5, and then I used bonus bet money to make a third bet which parlayed the two.]

This game means a lot to me haha. Now just no OT and we good.

Has there ever been a final four with no #1 seeds?

EDIT- Also, best thing about Arkansas winning, more Danyelle Sargent camera time.

Since the NCAA Tournament began seeding teams in 1979, there have been three Final Fours without a No. 1 seed: 1980, 2006, and 2011.

Surprised it's that many...wonder if there's ever been a tournament where none of the #1 seeds made it out of the first weekend? Realistic chance this year.

awwww hell yeah. I'm tired of watching Kansas every single March Madness. "Good riddance," I say the moment they get kicked out. They're like my version of Duke.

EDIT: TMI

I just won a $25 bonus bet and was looking for something to throw it at.

I hate those hook em horn things almost as much as rolling around in tide, but I'm game.

Ride or die!

If they need lessons, I got a line on a personal trainer. He isn't cheap, but he'll have those kids missing free throws in 3 sessions maximum guaranteed or your money back.

I don't know anything about any of these teams lol but there have been some exciting endings and lots of upsets so it's been pretty fun.

Yeah, watching Purdue lose as a 1st seed was awesome after having to see the second coming of Goliath tearing teams apart all year.

Arkansas at Kansas was great with a close game throughout, but very few lead changes. It was like waiting for the dam to break.

That and you get to watch a variety of different players and play styles all weekend long. And defense is allowed!

Are the players as skilled as NBA players? Hell naw [for 93% of them if it's 15 man rosters]. There will be moments when nobody scores for 3-4 minutes or the players pass the ball around in circles because none of them are good enough to get a shot off and the initial play has already broken down... but I don't care.

For a few weeks in March, it's just College Basketball at its best.

You should really get into college. Imagine every basket meaning something…it’s really a pure game.

Maryland is streaky as hell. Just like their players always have been. I don't trust them with only 8.5. Of course, they could come out and shoot the lights out and Bama gets a bunch of dumb fouls and Maryland wins.

This is not financial advice. 8-)

I got my bets set, I'm turning off the phone to just watch the games for a while longer before retiring to a real bed.
