Duke sucks

Okay, forget what I said below. I totally want Belmont to win. Seriously, how awesome would it be if DUKE lost to a #15 seed? Go Bruins!!! (There's something you don't hear from me too often...)

Meanwhile, USC is hanging in there with Kansas State, but with Taj Gibson now having four fouls this early in the second half, I'm not too optimistic. Nevertheless: Fight on!! Beat the Wildcats!!

UPDATE: Okay, so USC is totally going to lose. Arrrrgh.

But Belmont leads Duke by 1 with 1:40 left, and they have the ball! GO BELMONT!!!

UPDATE, 9:15 PM: AAAAHH!!! Duke by 1, Belmont ball, 4 seconds left!!!

UPDATE 9:17 PM: ARRRRRRGH.

UPDATE, 9:19 PM: Missed free throw! Timeout! Another chance! Two-point-something seconds left, Duke by 1, Belmont ball on the opposite end of the floor... one shining moment, anyone?? Either Duke is about to win, or we're about to witness an all-time NCAA Tournament highlight.

UPDATE, 9:21 PM: It was the former. :( Duke wins, 71-70. Damn.

Oh, and Kansas State beat USC, 80-67. :(

SC takes the lead!

While I have Duke going to the Elite 8, and a Duke loss would ROYALLY screw up my brackets, I hate Duke, and would love to see them lose :)

Oh, and while a USC loss would hurt me in this round, I have them losing the next round, anyway, so it isn't too big of a deal.

Um, they'd still have the lead if they learned how to offensive rebound. Just sayin', it's the only reason KSU is in it--because I think SC has the better team. Block out anyone?

GO CATS

Can anyone on USC grab a rebound other than Gibson?

Belmont is playing sick defense, but they need to hit those three pointers.

The dagger!

Bracket destroyer, thy name is Belmont

Wow. Just wow. Simultaneous upset?

Holy cow this is looking interesting...

Anyone else notice that Washington State and Winthrop was a tie at half and now WSU is up by 34?

Um, is it my imagination or does a Duke player has to basically stab someone to get a foul called? I mean, swallow your whistle has limits...

Looks like K State will have the honor of getting beat by Wisconsin.

Belmont ball, 4 seconds left, down by one. I am so loving this.

Yeah, unfortunately.

Duke.... really? you are gonna send them to the line with 4 seconds left? Wow

Although Belmont just demonstrated why they're a 15-seed.

Um, okay, if it comes down to that missed free throw, Coach K's head is going to explode.

PUUUUUURRRRRRPPPPLLLLEEEE POWER!

Damn, where's Laettner when you need him?

Meanwhile, A&M and BYU are in a close game

So far got all my brackets right!!!God
help me on this next round very hard
to predict!!!

Aggies win!!!
