Murray State knocks off Vandy at the buzzer !!!

66-65 final

More Madness! Murray State just beat Vanderbilt on a shot at the buzzer. That's a #13 over a #4, for those of you playing at home. I guess I should not have listened to the "experts" who counseled that the lower seeds will almost never win this year.

After 4 games, the "power" conferences are 1 - 3. I have to hope Baylor hangs on, or my bracket is toast.

Things have been crazy. But I'll take it, as I am the only one 4-4. cheers

That's what you get for having multiple brackets!

Ooo, did I just admit to seeing another bracket pool? Awkward...

Gaels running away with it.

Two timer! If I had a 9 iron handy, you'd be in trouble.

Darn it, that's what I get for listening to all that East Coast bias praising Richmond. I've got them into the Sweet 16. Evil or Very Mad

Hey, I'm only a 2 timer, not an (allegedly) 19+ timer...

And I'm glad I took SMC, but man, kind of upset I didn't take them over Nova in the 2nd round.....

Looks like you're now 7-0. Great start!

by **DaTruRochin** on Thu Mar 18, 2010 2:59 pm

Wow! kudos to that 7 for 7... I'm glad I didn't take ND going really deep like digger wanted me to... After my last years performance where my bracket was the 23rd percentile, I'll take where I'm at right now... (haha but this is the reason why I never enter paying pools, I'm what you call "easy money")

Woohoo! Congrats to SMC on the nice win... they should be licking their chops looking at 'Nova...

What a great day of basketball so far. Too bad I am stuck at work watching a bunch of GameTrackers. Neutral

(Did I mention I am going to the games in Spokane Friday & Sunday, though?!) Smile

You did at every possible instance. Oh well, I'm planning on meeting people for breakfast and then heading to the bar at 9 and staying ALL day... (I have to compensate for my lack of WCC Tourney experience somehow...)

P.S. R54... Expect text messages.... MANY text messages.... And perhaps a few mocking, slightly coherent, yelling voice mails...
