Florida and OK. ST, gutsy games. I hope that showed you guys how overrated OK. St. and the SEC is. Florida's got guts tho, and that will help them until they play the best team in the country, who plays in a few. GO HEELS!

well, it depends on what kind of foul. Lets take UNC's game against Oakland for example. If Oakland fouls, or does anything to physically impede a UNC player going for a basket, the UNC player gets two shots. A foul is when you do something with your hands like holding, hacking, shirt grabbing, eye poking, etc. Another type of foul is body position fouls. There is an offensive foul, where the player with the ball is called for running into a defensive player who has his feet set. The key to that is if the defensive player has his feet set, then its called a charge against the offense, if the player does not have his feet set and is moving to get position, then its called a blocking foul against the defense. You can also be fouled if you don't have the ball, but thats usually not called unless its blatant. Whether you shoot free throws after a defensive foul depends on two things. first, if your in the act of shooting, ie your jumping up for a jump shot or you driving to the basket for a layup, then you get two shots if your fouled. if your in the process of shooting a three point shot, you get three foul shots. second, if your fouled away from the basket or away from the ball, something called a foul limit comes into play. For non-shooting fouls, the team that is fouled gets the ball (if its offensive) and gets an inbound pass. After seven team fouls, non-shooting fouls go into a 1 and 1 situation. The player gets one shot, if he makes it, he gets another shot, if he misses it, its a lose ball up for rebound. Once you hit 10 team fouls, you shoot two shots for the rest of the half. Team fouls are based on halves, so its reset to 0 at halftime. Hoped that helped.

Duke doesn't play until later tonight, 7 something.

lol your confusing N.C. State with UNC. UNC doesn't play until 2:50. All my picks are winning except NCSU, and even they went on a nice run to close the gap at the end.

you need to change your sig to "lets go duke, don't blow it against delware st. when does Duke play? noonish? UNC plays around 2:30.

shush, don't ruin my moment before that my best for opening day was 11 n 16 too, dis is a new record for me I'll never outdo my second day record. I got all 16 games right , it was the year Maryland won it all. Maryland didn't even make the tourny this year. Boy the SEC has looked like poop so far. I hope Florida and Kentucky don't prove to me the SEC was horribly overrated and over represented tommorow <_< .

12 for 16, damn im good

Are you just watching the CBS games or do you have digital cable?

Mascot you should fill out a bracket. Just copy n paste.

by pick em, i mean I'm good at picking out the teams that will win even the upset teams, UCLA and UAB are both #11 seeds playing againsts #6 seeds and I picked UCLA and UAB. UAB is doing great, but UCLA gave up a 8-2 run to close the half so pffffh <_<

Yea, Illini will probably pull away. How bout UAB and UCLA can I pick em or what?

We either got a math major or a Computer Systems major , also, there are 64 teams in the NCAA tourny, after that STUPID play in game is played, of course.

My paps has Villinova going to the big eight . I'll root for Florida until they play UNC. Both my parents went to UF.

The favorite is the team with the highest seed, or rank. The teams are seed 1 - 16 in one of the four brakets, so theyre are four number 1 seeds, four number 2 seeds, four number 3 seeds, and so on. The teams are placed in each bracket to spread the best seeds apart. So 1 seed will play 16 seed, 2 seed 15 seed, and so on until the 8 seed plays the 9 seed. You can tell what seed a team from the little number next to the name of the team in the feild of 64.

not yet, they play tommorow. North Carolina vs Oakland. They play @ Noon I think.

thats why its called March Madness

Muff, their are 16 games today, 16 games tommorow. 8 games Saturday, 8 games Sunday. After that, there will be only 16 teams left, what we like to call the "Sweet Sixteen"

Wow I'am for 12 so far. Pitt really busted up my braket tho <_<, now Washington doesn't really have to play anybody.

only 1 so far, but I had Pitt going to the Big Eight so that hurt <_<

why dont you do a bracket?

@ Pitt @ Wis-Mil

Let the madness begin :evil: GO HEELS This is why we spend that little extra for digital cable. We get all the games. :evil:

nah, SU will lost in the second or third round

Im right so far, Oakland won
