Man, Raftery sounds hungover in this Tennessee/American game.

Some good games early. Davidson climbing back into it.

Even American is keeping Tennessee within striking distance at halftime.

Carr hits two big 3's in a row to tie the game!

Wow, what a run by Davidson, just clawing back into this game.

American continues to hang around. Western Kentucky is surprising Drake.

Fun games.

Western Kentucky is no suprise to me, I have them in my sweet 16. I was dreading that ND might draw them in the first round.

Looks like American doesn't have enough. They weren't playing very well down the stretch, missed a couple easy layups. Good showing for their first tournament though.

WCC loses its 2 Goliaths in about a 3 minute span.

They did take out St. Mary's and Gonzaga on back to back nights. Still though, I smell an 0-for-3 day for the WCC.

Well UConn did lose to George Mason with um like 5 draft picks on the floor but yeah I predict a 0-3 day for the WCC.

Eh... I can't believe Miami won... :cry:

Great set of games today compared to yesterday during the day...

OT for WKU and Drake....

Post #19 » by **Klomp** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 6:49 pm

Does it get any better than this? OVERTIME!

Post #20 » by **GYBE** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 6:50 pm

WKU and Drake headed to OT.

WKU let them back in the game with some turnovers. But that was a terrible charge call on Slaughter to rob them of the last shot. Absolutely brutal call that may have cost them the game.
