Title: Is anybody watching NCAA basketball?
Post by: Wendy on March 20, 2009, 12:37:36 AM
I rarely watch until the tournament. My husband and I usually do our own brackets and keep score. He always wins our little competition and it's already looking bleak for me this year.  :unsure:

Basketball... basketball... that's the one with the puck, right?

My fiance loves Jason Kidd. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't even know what sport was in season.  :blush:

Honestly. Professional sports could disappear tomorrow and I wouldn't have the slightest idea.

Ooooh, strike two on the basketball knowledge. NCAA = National Collegiate Athletic Association. College basketball tourney is happening now. :)

Quote from: "Ihateyoumike"As for your question, Wendy, no I am not. Unfortunately my team (Oregon State Beavers) did not make it to the NCAA tourney. Not a surprise since they haven't been there since about the late 80's/early 90's when they had players like Gary Payton and A.C. Green. They did make it to one of the smaller po-dunk tourneys, so I'm trying to catch those games, but without cable t.v. it's tough. Luckily there's always sites like JustinTV, where I can watch the games if someone decides to put them up there. Also, I'm more of a college football guy anyway. All the rest of the sports are just to waste time until football starts.  :)

My mom was an Oregon State fan. She lived in Cottage Grove for a while. I jumped on the Duke bandwagon during the Laettner/Hurley years.

Quote from: "Wendy"I thought about you when I saw that. Darnit, I had Illinois winning.
Yeah, betting on the Illini seems dangerous ---- they're good at breaking people's brackets.

Oh well, there's always next year!  (I learned that from my wife - she's a die hard Cubs fan :D )
