Around SBN: NCAA Tournament Bubble Watch

You Can't Spell Schadenfreude Without 'FSU'

If I had to pick a way for FSU to lose Friday, I probably would have chose, "Blow huge halftime lead, lose in OT." And guess what? That's what happened! HAHAHAHAHA! Oh, let me taste your tears, FSU! You didn't think you would get past the first weekend, did you? Oh, you did? HAHAHAHAHA! And you can forget about going to the tournament next year. The only guy to average double digits for FSU, guard Toney Douglas, is graduating.

But, wait, it gets better. While FSU was choking away a 12 point halftime lead, Ohio State couldn't hold off Siena, dispite playing the game in Ohio. The Saints defeated the Buckeyes in double OT, 74-72. Of course Siena would win. You can't pick against a Catholic school on a Friday in Lent. Hell, they probably extended the game into overtime and early Saturday morning so they could celebrate with a steak dinner.

The Florida Schadenfreude Spectacular got started early Friday when Oklahoma State defeated Tennessee in the final seconds, 77-75. Bruce Pearl will now spend his weekend snapping bikini tops on a lake in Tennessee.

Oh, Florida did play Miami in the Not Invited Tournament Second Round. The Gators won 74-60. Nick Calathes led all scorers with 21 points on 6-12 shooting and 7 assists. Your friend and mine, Chandler Parsons, followed his double-double against Jacksonville with a more normal 7-4 night. The Gators get Penn State next.

Stay classy, Bruce Pearl

I love that in the lower photo of Mr. Pearl’s excursion at sea everyone’s holding their Chick-Fil-A cups. Even slimy old Bruce Pearl knows a way to a girl’s heart is with good old-fashioned fried chicken…

The early games today were miserable (unless you’re willing to add UCLA to the parade of schadenfreude.) Here’s hoping for some competitive basketball tonight…

what is this nonsense in the comments about Bloomingdale TV productions? Eww, I do not like the way that makes me feel.

Sorry dude, but I am a Bloomingdale grad and it is just weird seeing “Bdale” all over this blog slash do people really have that much school spirit there now-a-days?

Don't want to be mean

I love how you are talking smack and laughing at your arch rivals, but last time I checked they were in the tournament and well you Florida wasn’t. Even though you guys have twice the program those teams do you can’t really talk smack when you don’t even make it.

We suck, but we can bad-mouth other teams too.

I can rag on the Cardinals for blowing it in the Super Bowl even though my team is going to suck this year.

I ridiculed my own team by burying their second round NIT game in the bottom of the story.
It’s pretty embarrassing for Florida to spend two seasons in the NIT (playing out of their minds too), after winning the NCAA title. But no matter how bad Florida plays, we can always smile at the misfortune of our rivals. And that is a lot more fun to talk about than a basketball team that does not work hard for two consecutive seasons.
