Here is your Open Thread for the first day of The NCAA Tournament. Good God I'm excited. Like a 5-year old on his way to Disney World. Or on speed.
Either way, we'll be chatting here all day about not just Villanova-Robert Morris (which tips off at 12:30 p.m. ET - if you didn't know that, just quit), but all the day's action. The most exciting part for me is going to be when somebody loses their first Sweet Sixteen team. That should be high comedy.
Also, make sure you click here for full ecstasy. This will allow those of you who aren't in front of the TV to still enjoy the best day of the year! And just so you know, The March Madness widget is located on the right-hand side for future use. Thank me (actually the SB Nation guys) later.
Let's Go Nova!

You been snorting coke with the Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington?

hahahhahaha!
Day after Saint Patrick’s Day. Let’s just say I’m not all there right now.
My father was a military man. Guess I wasn't such a 'good soldier.' Anyways, when I was 35 he attempted to give me a crew-cut while I was asleep. I woke up, broke his arm, haven't seen him since.
Getting very, very excited.

Scottie and Fisher NOT STARTING
per a bunch of sources. Jay saying it is a ‘teaching moment’
I like it. Light a fire under their asses.

Question
What do you think Scottie did to get benched? Kid comes late to games just to go to church, he does no wrong!
Leadership not good lately outta him.

Reynolds Not Starting in Round 1
This just in: Villanova’s Scottie Reynolds will not start against Robert Morris in what Coach Jay Wright is calling a “teaching moment”.
This is nice...
and ugly to start.

RMU is winning 48-45
And we look atrocious.
I just hope the players are not trying to somehow give Jay Wright a “teaching moment”.

It just goes to show......
You gotta play the game.

Holy crap.....
this team is just awful right now. I’d love to give credit to Bob Morris, but they were just taking advantage of horrible play by Nova. Richmond/St. Mary’s has to be licking their lips right now.
If i want to be optimistic though – Arkansas barely beat Texas Southern in the first round in ’95, then went all the way to the championship game.
Holy crap indeed
What a game. Congrats from a Louisville fan, Nova. With ND losing, we needed you to carry the BE banner for the afternoon.
If the Wildcats had lost this game, who would have been the goat? Redding? Wright? No matter. You’ve had your wake-up call. Rise and shine!
Wake Up Call?
Hasnt this team had 5 wake up calls in the last 7 games?
I wish i could be more optimistic, but holy crap this team looks lifeless.
Ugh...
that was a train wreck. Has Jay lost this team? We almost lost a game in which we didn’t get killed on the boards, or by free throws or a plethra of turnovers?

Hey!!
We won a game! Woooooooohooo
Look at the scoreboard Buddha I'm doing fine
I'll take it!
on a day where Scottie goes 3-23, Fisher only scores 6 and Nova still pulls it out it is a good sign. Those shots will fall.
You better be right
Richmond and St. Mary’s are both really good teams.

Hoping
They take similar path as last year. They struggled in first game and got hotter with each better team. But…the realist in me sees the youth in this team. They are playing dumb basketball and have been for weeks. They weren’t doing the same last year.

is starting to really scare the crap out of me. Them and Baylor are shaping up to be our toughest competition.

That game made me sick
And on top of it, I had to take shit all game from all the stupid Pitt and Temple fans with whom I work.
Thanks for pulling it out, Nova, but you had better come to play next game.
Now, were are my Tums?

Pena?
Wasn’t able to watch the game—-what happened to Pena?

Armwood?
What happened to Isaiah Armwood? He hasn’t gotten any PT the last few games. He hurt or sleep with Jay’s wife?
Now that I've had a few seconds to breath....
I have to tip my hat off to Robert Morris. They hung in there through and through and you could visibly tell they were gaining confidence as the game went on. The way they were able to hang around in OT once they had 3 players fouled out was incredibly. Nova had more than their share of sloppy moments, but Robert Morris took advantage of them, especially as the game went on.
