There has been a lot of shitty reffing in the tournament so far, more than I can remember really in previous years. I know they're just college refs, but still, there have been some simply awful calls. One that stands out is a non-call on a backcourt violation in Oakland/NC State, the Oakland player inbounded from under his own basket, and just threw it into the backcourt. The ref said it was tipped, and there was no NC State player near the ball at any time.

Colorado literally just had a backcourt violation. Not called.

I need Marquette to last another 7.4 seconds without giving up a point to win my dingle dollar bet. I'm giving 3.5

 

[LordSensei1958]

Final 81-77 Marquette. I never had a doubt.

That -3.5 was key. my betting strategy here on NCAA ball has been to look up the line on my sportsbook and take advantage of any anomalies, like most books had Marquette at -4 or -4.5 so that -3.5 was a gift.

We had a nice little gift yesterday too.

Well that's good for me, anyway. At least I wasn't the only one getting kicked in the balls on that one. Now, you and I have to hope that neither Hyped nor Clay had Clemson.

I had Clemson and Clemson ML

Looks like almost everyone had Baylor too.

I got this edit in too late, sorry:

Grand Canyon/Alabama is like watching a pick-up game at your local gym.

So, what you're saying is "We got next"?

I sucked at basketball. I had a 6 inch vertical leap. My best move was to take a charge.

I loved it. Was just too physical because football was my first sport, but I wasn’t bad. Started on my HS varsity team and could dunk by the time I was 15.

What was your sport? Hockey?

I loved Baseball. I played 3rd base and Brooks Robinson was my idol and still is. I was too thin and slow to play football. My senior year I wrestled in the 99 pounds and under class. I've gained a few pounds since then.

And to be honest, I played soccer for a year in Junior High. But then I figured out I was straight.

I wrestled 103 in my sophomore year, bumped up to 125 senior year. I wanted to play football but was too small early on. Senior year I probably could've played but at that point I didn't want to add sports, I just wanted to GTFO of high school.

Fuck!!! I just did the stupidest thing!!!! I had 20K on UCONN and went back to ut 20K more on them but accidently put it on Northwestern. Fuck me in the ass and calll me Aunt Jemima!!!

 

[Deus Irae]

It took overtime, but Houston got me back on track. And, barring a collapse of historic proportions, San Diego State will finish off Yale, too. So, a pretty good night, spoiled only by Clemson winning.

@Lord Dingleberry is there a way to cancel a bet once it gets made?
