NCAA Championship - Open Games thread. Round one / Day one

 


Thanks to the CBS and SB Nation partnership, we have some nifty widgets to use for updates. This should be nice, as you won't have to navigate away from the thread to get scores, schedules, or updates.

The CBS Sports widgets will allow you to watch the games through a streaming video widget that can be launched below:

Launch Player

The On-Demand Widget will allow you to easily select the game you wish to watch online:

 

 

I'll be in and out of this thread, as I have to be on the road for a few hours at some point. (Terrible day to travel!) I will also be adding any content or extra widgets/links as I find them helpful. Also, it's not too late to enter a bracket for a chance to win a CornNation t-shirt. Click here to enter!

well...

hey, that launch player widget doesn’t look so bad, at least initially.

So! Who is everyone rooting for? Who’d you pick to win the Big Dance?

I think there is a "scores" widget as well...

Would it be better to have the scores widget as opposed to the schedule one? Or both?

I’m pulling for K-State. I think they have a good shot, and would love to see them face Kansas in the Final Four.

So hard to tell, but I have Syracuse winning it all.

Not sure. I picked 'em though...

BYU had a few bad losses during the season. Looks like they’re down 2 at the half.

the scores widget and the on-demand widget both available.

work sucks

working late?

Georgetown gets thrashed! That takes at least 2 players out of the bracket race. One of you had 8 of 8 picks correct, but had Georgetown going to the final game. Another was in third place, but had Georgetown winning it all. Brackets…….BUSTED!

As for me……dead last!
