NCAA Tournament: Day Two Open Thread

While the Big East was single-handedly ruining brackets across the country yesterday, all five Big Ten teams were out of action.  That all changes today when Ohio State, Michigan State, Minnesota, Purdue, and Wisconsin open NCAA Tournament play. 

Remember, if you're away from the TV use the CBS March Madness On Demand video player to catch all the action on your computer.

Here is your open thread for the day with a schedule after the jump.

Minnesota vs. Xavier, 12:25 p.m.

I can't tell

Is Izzo dancing, or checking that chick for breast lumps?

He's definitely copping a feel :-)

I guess it is his wife and all, but way to get photographed touching boob, Tom!

No, but seriously, ethnic background, plays characters the audience hates, strange voice, strange appearance. Yes, Peter Lorre is Coach K.

Meh.

Depends on which audience you’re talking about. But we can save this debate for 7:25. Right now some more Big East EPIC FAIL is about to happen.

The only people who like Coach K are Duke fans.

I’m not going to get into an argument about why Duke is bad or Duke is good, but this is a fact.

I disagree on this.

But again, thats an argument for another day. A subjective argument with no empirical data that can back up either side.

Well, Devon likes Notre Dame.

So maybe he likes Coach K. We should ask him.

If West Virginia Loses...

I’ll pee myself. Of all the Big East fans, WVU fans are unquestionably the most delusional about the Big East’s superiority.

I actually liked WVU when they had Don Nehlen (and because they supported Joe's Eastern Conference)...

But I can’t respect anyone who employs Bob Huggins.

I logged on today and all I could see were highlights from yesterday. I refreshed the screen and had instant access.

What browser are you trying with?

IE is going to work best. Also, it might be best to use a different browser for the rest of your Internet activity while the player’s running.

Thanks. I am using IE and don’t have another browser ready to go. I suppose I could download firefox quick…

My (temporary) city has been inundated

with Pitt and Ohio State fans. And some Oakland fans (who I still harbor some resentment towards thanks to hockey). I am not pleased.

FYI for all those that remember the Kohl's helmet sale that was advertised here a while back.

I received my two mini helmets yesterday and they are glorious. The plan was to give one to my brother for his birthday, but I might just keep both.

I'm rooting for Temple but not really

It’s only because I picked them.

Somewhere between getting cussed out by a bunch of 50+s and having the Nittany Nation bus pelted by snowballs, I lost what little respect I had for Temple.
