KSR’s Guide to the Madness — Friday Early Afternoon Session


We’re not playing, but you know you’re still going to watch. Earlier in the week, we previewed each region of the bracket: MIDWEST, EAST, WEST, SOUTH.
Get your finger on that boss button and settle in for a day of procrastination with KSR’s Guide to the Madness. First, if you’re not around a TV, here’s the link to watch all of the games online: MARCH MADNESS LIVE
Friday’s early afternoon games are:


(15) Albany vs. (2) Duke, 12:15 p.m. ET (CBS), MIDWEST, Philadelphia
Sadly, the Great Danes don’t have much of a shot against Duke, but who cares, I’ll cheer for them anyway. GO GREAT DANES!


(12) Ole Miss vs. (5) Wisconsin, 12:40 p.m. ET (TruTV), WEST, Kansas City
Talk about polar opposites. Not only do Ole Miss and Wisconsin have totally different playing styles, but look at their star players: Marshall Henderson and forward Mike Bruesewitz. They look like they could have a sitcom together. The only reason to watch? Henderson does something crazy, awesome, stupid or likely, a combination of all three.


(9) Temple vs. (8) NC State, 1:40 p.m. ET (TBS), EAST, Dayton
In four of the last five NCAA tournaments Temple has been in, they’ve lost the first game, but they’ll have their top rebounder, Anthony Lee, back after he sustained a concussion in the A-10 Tournament. I’m still cheering for NC State because of the gif above.


(15) Pacific vs. (2) Miami, 2:10 p.m. ET (TNT), EAST, Austin
The amount of palm trees I saw while looking up pictures for both of these schools pissed me off. Miami will roll, go Shane Larkin.

Does the NCAA do drug testing during the season? I dont think there is a drug out there that Marshall Henderson is not doing daily.
I see the NCAA gave the puke devils a 16 seed even tho they are a 2. Pathetic how they favor these posers year after year. Gee I hope we face them sometime next year and put a stomping on their chests
As for Marshall Henderson I could not care but damn the guy is fun to watch.
#2 Seriously dude?? You just got beat by us….
#4 irrelevant as is you school
I’m watching Ole Miss and Wisconsin. This should be a very entertaining game, but the Badgers win by 10-12. Over/under the number of two animated Marshall reactions or outbursts by the half…
My brackets officially suck. CSU over Mizzou, Oregon over OK State, Wichita St over Pitt, Harvard over UNM, Cal over UNLV. I gave the PAC-12 no respect and it’s biting me in the ass.

Duke is playing a #15 seed – you can’t be a #2 seed and open against a #16 seed.
I didn’t know Louie Anderson went to NC State!
Check out Colorado State pep band tomorrow against Loserville in Rupp. My owner and driver will be blowing the horn with the other C State pep band members.
#8 You just don’t get it do you. Let me say this as simple as I can since you seem a little slow. Albany is a 15 seed yea but with only a 16 seed resume or a very weak team. Gee dude you new on here?
Pacific dancer has some tig o bittys
