Yeah, some hometown calls there.

Hooley's mom is having surgery for cancer. Wow. Wish the kid and his family the best.

Here we go!

It's probably one of these types...all the rage in the photography/videography world:

Same. As with Duke...a loss of around 10pts would be great. Unlike American University which is getting its doors blown off by Wisconsin.

My bracket is done...didn't think Dayton would beat Ohio.

Syracuse got number 1? HAHAHA. That thing is retarded looking.

Casey Prather, Florida's leading scorer on UAlbany: "They definitely can beat us. They're a good team." #Pinocchio

Billy Donovan: "Our guys have an enormous amount of respect and fully expect a great challenge." He was then selling snow outside Amway.

Florida coach Billy Donovan on UAlbany: "They've earned the right to play the game. They've had a heck of a year," Of course he'd say that.

It does matter a bit. 16 seed (UAlbany) has never beat 1 seed (Florida). "The team that plays the hardest will win," Finney-Smith said

 

We all know what we are up against...but what other professional beat writer treats the team he covers like that?

 

I don't know who that guy is, but he's not a normal UF guy.

 

He's a jackass, and a pathetic excuse for a sports writer

I wish massive, chronic, explosive diarrhea on him. Well, and Putin too, but Wilkin is a start.

Live and DIE by the three. SUCKAS!

Evans and Johnson were HUGE in this game. Hooley came on late again. All three of them made up for a HORRIBLE Sam Rowley game.

Wow, we got lucky on that in-n-out by Wiggity Whack.

Side note: does anyone else notice that Hooley's undershirt is ALWAYS torn in every game? Does he put it on like that? Some kind of 'good luck charm'? lol

Keep on NOT guarding the dude

At this point, doesn't matter. His last two threes have been from almost half-court lol.

This Miller kid is ridiculous.

Every time they put up a 3 I hold my breath...

I've never seen anything like this. It's insane how much they rely on the 3. I'm okay if they make 1 out of every 3...as long as we score on the possessions they don't score on.

Rowley is the main one for TO's...dude needs to get his head in the game.

Too many turnovers.

We have historically been terrible at closing out on the 3...looks like nothing has changed. If they stop falling for em, put a fork in em. If they keep falling, put a fork in us.

I can understand 3-4 getting by...by they have taken like 15 threes already and probably 3-4 were actually challenged.

We suck at running guys off the three. HOLY CRAP.

Excellent start. UA chants are nice and loud.

Here we go!

Seriously. Although some folks here don't like the PIG...I'm super excited because unlike UConn, Duke, and VA...we actually have a chance to win. This makes the stakes MUCH MUCH MUCH higher...instead of just looking to put forth a good showing and not get embarrassed by 40.

So after our travel expenses, we don't get any extra off the top since we're the ones representing AE? You'd think we could at least get a year of free Paesan's or something!

 

You'll have to sink a layup, a free throw and a three pointer while a loud obnoxious woman screams at you if you want Paesan's for a year. If you catch my meaning...

But don't worry...if you don't get free Paesan's for a year, you'll still get a lunch box...or t-shirt...or maybe even a 4yr old TV with no warranty.

I'm in.

I think we need the pool ID...

So, we're not doing the Bracket Challenge this year? Usually by now there is a thread about it...
