NCAA Tournament Live Blog: Friday, 12:20 p.m.
OK, so, maybe we didn't have the most ecstatic day of NCAA basketball yesterday — other than Duke, of course — but we have big hopes for today. (Besides, the most fun we had yesterday afternoon was reading Shanoff's live blog and your comments.) So, we rev it up yet again today. Here are the early g...

This Is All Progressing Too Normally For Our Tastes
It's a good thing that Duke did lose to Virginia Commonwealth last night, because if the Blue Devils hadn't, we have no idea what everyone would be talking about today; it's really the only game of the first day of the tournament that had much of a storyline. (And, really, no one was that shocked th...
Hail, Hail, The Duke Is Dead, Long Live The Duke
We don't mean to imply that Virginia Commonwealth — the school where the band G.W.A.R. was founded, by the way — is extremely popular this morning, but The Truth About Duke Web site has VCU's logo as its background and we received six emails overnight simply with the phrase "GO RAMS!" in the subject...

You know, it already just doesn't feel right without Duke in the NCAA tournament. It's just wrong. Wrong!...
Not The Most Exciting First Seven Games ... But There's Plenty To Go
All right, so there were no buzzer-beaters, no upsets — all the top seeds won, annoyingly — and no real tight games ... but we're just gonna assume that's the luck of the draw. We'd like to thank Mr. Shanoff for some excellent live-blogging of the afternoon games, trying to make some of those dullar...
NCAA Tournament Live Blog: Thursday, 2:40 p.m.
After that first set, hey, who's up for some more? (No upsets, but hey: Stanford totally came to play.) And by "more," we mean "endless nonstop lunacy for the next 72 hours." Four more this afternoon, all coming to you from Mr. Shanoff, whom we hope you enjoyed from the first set of games....

Final Hour For Deadspin Pants Party Pool
All right, kids, we're just more than an hour from the beginning of this whole NCAA tournament business — Who has Maryland-Davidson fever? We do, we do! — and this is pretty much your last chance to Join The Deadspin Pants Party tournament pool. As of this typing, there are 3,315 people in the pool,...
That's Not Quite What Pete Said, Actually
With all the hullabaloo around Pete Rose's "admission" yesterday that he "bet on the Reds every night" — a story so overblown that even Katie Couric was talking about it, chatting with beer pong specialist Armen Keteyian — Keith Olbermann, who did the Rose interview along with Dan Patrick on ESPN Ra...
Hey, This Game Wasn't Bad At All
Who would have thought that on the day of the NCAA Basketball Tournament's Grand Opening we'd all be talking about the NBA? Weird. But thank the Suns and Mavericks, who put on quite a show on Wednesday, proving that the NBA is going to be relevant from here on out. At least if there's a championship...
It's A Great Night To Go To Bed Early
All right, kids, 'twas the night before the NCAA Tournament kicks off and everything goes right plum crazy for four days, then takes three days off, then goes slightly less nuts for four more days. We can't wait, and we suspect you can't either....
