Yesterday was another great day in college basketball.  Two overtime games and a ton of upsets.  Once again here are my brief observations of every game: Louisville 74 Morehead State 54: I never thought this game was in doubt, although Morehead State kept it interesting well into the second half.  The full-court press by the [...]

I feel like my head is going to explode from all the college basketball goodness (except for that stupid goddamn Illini game).  Although there was only one big upset (did I mention that Illini game?), the games were exciting and fun.  Here’s a quick line about each game: Memphis 81 CS-Northridge 70: Memphis almost blew [...]

Other than the fact that we know Western Kentucky has a sweet mascot, we really don’t know much else.  We also know they won a couple games in the Big Dance last year and bring back a hand-full of those players.  But what are they about this year and how do they stack up against [...]

The President gives a class on Barack-etology.  This is actually very amusing, the guy knows his stuff.  If you don’t want to watch the whole thing, at least go to the end where he has a message for his winner.  [Awful Announcing] The Bulls beat the Thunder last night and Derrick Rose was perfect in [...]

Here we are in Illinois’ bracket, where the North Carolina Tar Heels are the 1-seed.  Just like Illinois, North Carolina has an injury question at the point guard spot.  Last I heard Ty Lawson was doubtful for the Heels’ first round game. With Lawson, the Heels are the favorite to make the finals from this [...]

Pittsburgh honestly screws me in my bracket every season.  Every year I think they’re so tough, with at least one guard that can score and they lose to some awful team in the second or third round.  But this is the best Pittsburgh team of them all, right?  Fields, Young, Blair; they’re excellent and they [...]

It’s time for another one of my crazy sports conspiracy theories.  The Illini were cruising along, looking like a solid 5 seed and maybe even a 4 seed in the NCAA Tourney.  Then they lost Frazier to a fractured hand/wrist and said he would probably not be back for the Big Ten tourney but he [...]

Of all the 1-seeds in the tournament, the experts seem to be the most down on UConn.  The Huskies lost shooting guard Jerome Dyson, but start a pair of capable seniors in A.J. Price and Craig Austrie, not to mention a frontcourt of Adrien and Thabeet.  UConn doesn’t seem to have a lot to worry [...]

The tournament actually starts in the Midwest bracket with a game of almost no significance tonight between Morehead St. and Alabama St.  No offense to these teams, but this is not something that people want to watch, but watch we will.  The winner of this game will be greeted by Louisville and their full-court press. [...]

Last week we let you know about a couple of things we have planned here at NQTC for the NCAA Tournament.  Since I completely jumped the gun on posting that, here we go again.  First, we have a group set up on ESPN.com for the Tournament Challenge.  It’s free, easy, and you can win a [...]

Illinois pulled the much maligned 5-seed in the NCAA Tournament and they’ll play the 12-seed Western Kentucky in the first round.  The Hilltoppers of course have the best mascot in sports history. So already you have to be worried.  The Hilltoppers should actual give Illinois plenty to think about this week, judging by a quick [...]

March is the best month in all of sports, no question about it.  I was sitting at my computer last night staring at some brackets, when I remembered my favorite moment in NCAA tournament history.  Everyone’s is different I guess, but this is the one for me.  “Williams to tie it with a three..OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
