Butler and Penn Aim to Break 20
Note: keep refreshing this page
5:15--A&M holds on and wins 68-52. The Aggies victory saves a lot of talking heads the embarrassment of having one of their Final Four teams lose in the first round. I would've loved to read Andy Katz's 1,000 word column on what went wrong. The Aggies game against Louisville will be one of the best matchups of the 2nd round.
5:01--Butler wins 57-46 and will play Maryland on Saturday, while Georgetown wins 80-55. The good news for me is that along with the others in the Washington area, I will have the crucial 4:40 game on CBS because it features George Washington. GW's stay in the tournament may be short lived. They trail 13-2 after 6 minutes.
4:52--I just caught the Entourage DirecTV commercial for the millionth time. The fact that this commercial exists seals the deal in my mind that the show has lost everything it ever had. I'm also personally offended that Turtle had no interest in floor seats to see Arena, Butler, Jamison, and the Wizards take on the Lakers.
4:47--Penn takes a short-lived 39-37 lead before A&M scores 10 straight to take an 8 point lead. Meanwhile, both Georgetown and Butler have double digit leads and look like they will advance to the 2nd round.
4:38--Jay Bilas considers Texas the best #4 seed in the tournament--Really? Are you sure it's not Duke?--Or is Duke a #1 this year?
4:35--CBS moved Survivor to Wednesday night because of the Big Dance. It's a good thing the tournament isn't on Fox, otherwise it might have been moved to Tuesday afternoon to accommodate American Idol.
4:28--Butler takes a 9 point lead behind two quick three pointer from Pete Campbell. Meanwhile Penn has cut the Texas A&M lead to 35-31. An Aggie loss could raise Memphis' chances of reaching the Final 8 from 2% to 8%.
4:19--Washington State pulls away in the 2nd half and wins 70-54. It looks like Oral Roberts will not be this year's George Mason--although considering that this year's George Mason isn't in the tournament, maybe they will be.
4:12--Dick Enberg informs us that two Belmont players had their jerseys stolen during the Atlantic Sun Tournament. I guess that means there are two Nashville youths striking fear in their playground opponents with their dark blue Belmont Bruins jerseys.
4:05--Am I the only one who feels weird hearing James Brown do play-by-play for an NCAA tournament game. I keep expecting him to blurt out "A dog who ate an entire strawberry short cake--next on World's Funniest!!!"
4:00--We still haven't seen a shot of Patrick Ewing cheering on his son in the Georgetown game. I wonder if his wife forbade him from appearing in public again until he loses 70 lbs.

James Brown kinda sucks at this.
kinda? What's that thing he said about some kid's dad being a plummer and the kid's now draining shots?
I suck at this and I could do a better job than James Brown.
Wait a minute. Screw that- I don't want to drop myself to a new low.
41-32, butler. Look's like I'm losing a sweet 16 team. ODU can't buy a basket right now.
Am I tenth from last in the pool standings yet?
Every single favorite has won thus far.
Holy Quaker! Are you seeing this?
Don't count Penn out just yet.
Hey sorry I'm late this live-blog is great. My cinderalla team Vanderbilt just started.
Boston I'm with you, I had Old Dominion in the Sweet 16 as well. It, along with Oral Roberts, gives me two Sweet 16 teams eliminated on Day 1. Ugh.
