Albany Giving UConn A Run For Their Money
Tied with 5 to go! This is exciting. I know they'll lose, but there's nothing more thrilling in this tournament than a team seeded 16 keeping up with a team seeded 1. Go Albany!!!

1. Wow, this is exciting!
I can't believe how tough Albany is hanging.

2. Incredible! Fantastic!
I love it. I sort of follow Albany, because I avidly follow UVM, and heck this is more exciting than last year when UVM beat Syracuse. Gotta love those Great Danes.

3. Last year
when UVM beat the Cuse, it was not exciting for this Syracuse fan. :( Neither was last night.

5. Yikes, I guess not
My sympathies. But you can enjoy this without having any attachment to the dominant team. I can't believe albany is up ten points.

7. This is unreal.
I never, ever thought Albany would be up 10 in the second half.
UConn just hasn't been playing to their potential the last few games.

9. Oh well,
Albany's starting to come undone and UConn's stepping it up. To be expected.

10. UConn's going to win.
They're too physical. They'll find a way to pull this out.

But I'm still rooting like crazy for Albany.

12. Marcus Williams is tough
He can shoot the lights out of the ball.

Of course CBS is giving me Cal/NC State, but at least I can follow the score. :eyes:

6. You can watch it on your computer like I am
by going to www.ncaasports.com/mmod. It's free and about 30 seconds being the live action.

15. Yep.
I'm watching both.

Looks like the Longhorns, assuming they don't go belly up in a little while, will be playing NC State Sunday. :)

16. A&M/LSU tomorrow!
I haven't been excited about A&M basketball in about 20 years. :D

Even if we lose, we still had a great year.

17. I was cheering for the Aggies last night
(just as I KNOW y'all cheered for us in the Rose Bowl. ;) )

My probably future son-in-law is an Aggie. We were texting back and forth. He's like you -- extremely excited. I didn't root for OU and won't root for Kansas but I will be cheering on the Aggies! :thumbsup:

18. Oh sure, make me feel guilty!
:P

I actually kind of like this year's Kansas team. They came from nowhere. Plus, I like Bill Self more than Roy Williams. OU can suck it though. :P

One of your daughters is marrying an Aggie? Smart child. ;)

8. Now I'm getting nervous
because it looks like they actually have a chance to win and be the first 16 seed to ever knock out a number one. Most exciting NCAA round 1 game ever.
