UD 55  OSU 57  :51.2

time out Dayton

[HamIAm]

Ohio State has some weird looking uniforms when you see them up close. The back of the jersey where the material looks like its probably ventilated, there are patterns woven into the fabric. I know its a buckeye plant, but it looks like they have flowers on their uniform.

That layup by Craft was straight outta the playground.

[The Boar War]

Couldn't have happened to a better team.

Final Dayton 60  Ohio State 59

[Danny J]

Wow...the vaunted Big 10 looks GREAT!!!! /sarcasm

[Atlhogfan1]

Good to see the refs didn't bail Craft out on the last drive.

What a shot by Dayton though for the win. 

[Jackrabbit Hog]

First game of the tournament is an upset that went to the buzzer.  Hope it's an omen.

[jbcarol]

Billionaire dreams begin to dwindle.

Que Quicken Loans commercial.

[Break & Run]

Dayton - 60
tOSU - 59

[Breems]

I picked Ohio State. Oh well. Fun game to watch.

[The Boar War]

Craft no good

Wonder how many times he's been bailed out in that situation?

[Professor Psychosis]

It's always a good day when Ohio State loses in any sport.

[HamIAm]

Good to see the refs didn't bail Craft out on the last drive.

What a shot by Dayton though for the win. 

He was trying to draw the foul.  The refs just didn't buy it.

My billion is gone...

Wow...the vaunted Big 10 looks GREAT!!!! /sarcasm

Does this make the A10 look good?


From having experienced Oh St fans at the Sugar Bowl, this kind of tough loss for them is enjoyable. 

[jbcarol]

Ally McForce with Sanford who beat Craft on the game winner: We just want to play as hard as we can.

[Adam Stokes]

My billion is still intact!  12.5 million people can't say the same thing.

[jbcarol]

American, once up 17-10 is now down 62-28 with 6:27 to go.

No 15-2 upset here.

[ricepig]

I picked Ohio State. Oh well. Fun game to watch.

Me too, I was going to donate the billion to charity, mine! Refs kind of swallowed the whistle at the end, but that's usual.

I am not sure it really speaks to either of their prowess as a conference as I think both are overrated big time. I mean big time. I only have two big ten teams advancing out of first round and Wisconsin losing in the next round. I think the only legit team out of the big ten is MSU.

Colorado being raped by a ACC team.

[HamIAm]

Wisconsin is abusing American, its now 66-28

[chiefhawg]

Dayton drive last shot goes in. Same setup vs Missouri, Ky Madden shot bounces off rim.  It is basketball.

[jbcarol]

Harvard 12  Cincinnati 6  early

[SPAL]

Loved the officiating in that one. From start to finish they were consistent and let them play within the rules of the game. Hats off to the officials.

I picked Dayton in most of my brackets. I went conservative in the Billion Dollar Challenge though and picked OSU. Oh well.

[DeltaBoy]

Great news the Suckeyes lose.

[Danny J]

Couldn't happen to a better school!

[jbcarol]

Pitt 46  Colorado 18  Halftime

[The_Iceman]

Ohio State refused to play them similar to the way we do with Arkansas State.

[jbcarol]

Christine with Jamie Dixon: The defense turned up our offense...

[Jackrabbit Hog]

Same here.  Arrogant bunch.  Almost got into a fight with one at a restaurant on Canal Street after the game. 

[popcornhog]

Yahoo! My bracket stays alive!

[Jackrabbit Hog]

Last 3 shots were layups into heavy traffic with contact.  The refs let all three go with no foul calls.  Let the players decide the game. 

SEC officials....hope you were watching.

[Hog1966]

Halftime Pitt 46 Colorado 18 

[Danny J]

Yahoo! My bracket stays alive!

Mine too. So far so good. I knew picking against the Big ten was a good idea. Anytime with the exception of MSU I have Big ten picked to lose against a similar seed or really even against another power conference.

[jbcarol]

Cronin played a guy not in "the book".

Smart guys hit one of two FTs for the "administrative" technical.

Cronin is all worked up.

[jbcarol]

Harvard 13  UC 7  10:45

[Break & Run]

That was my upset pick of the first round.  Perfect Bracket, here I come.
