61-50 WVU with 3:53 to play...Nate Robinson (sitting behind me, kind of) has sworn at the officials at least 20 times...he's a very intense man, sitting with two former teammates. According to JM of Slope TV Sports, he's the only one of the three to pick Cornell

9:15 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Sun columnist Peter Finocchiaro: "At one of three designated meetups for CU fans in Miami. Purely by accident. I am so pumped up."

9:13 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

9:04 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

WVU up 50-41 with 10 minutes to play...roommate is saying that Syracuse lost??

9:03 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Already-damaged iPhone is getting ready to explode...keep getting texts while trying to tweet. I hate technology.

9:02 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

We might have an upset brewing (in Salt Lake)...getting score updates from a Cornell fan in the house, since my wireless is uber-sketch

8:57 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Cornell fans outnumber the Kentucky fans here thus far

8:55 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

From Pete Thamel: If the N.C.A.A. Tournament makes hundreds of millions more by expanding to 96 teams, perhaps then they'll have functioning wireless Internet ...wise man.

8:36 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

I don't need to say what happens to teams that underestimate their opponents...

8:32 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

As Barry Leonard just said, it's like when one of the St. John's players, said to another St. John's player: "Guard the little boy" ... in reference to Ski

8:31 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Two different Kentucky band members, to person next to them, while walking past the bracket on display: "Should we just fill it in now?"

Washington: 29 WVU: 27 at the half

8:07 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

True story: Pete Thamel is sitting behind me and two seats to the right...how'd this happen? Granted he is more centered, but one would think The Times should be front row over The Daily Sun! (not that I'm complaining)...this is a great seat

7:43 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Watching WVU/Washington

7:24 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Internet is being REALLY slow...live-blog might not be all that live. In other news, I just had a conversation with Rick Reilly, who is basically the reason I became interested in sports journalism.

6:59 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Rick Reilly. Childhood icon. Heck, adulthood icon.

6:34 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Spotted: Andy Katz and Jeff Goodman having a pow-wow...it's like the Harvard game in Cambridge all over again!

5:59 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

At the Dome. Chilling until game time. Good seat on press row...about 3 away from SI's representative. Did an interview with some reporter from Lexington. Buying Sweet 16 shirts.

5:35 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

New blog post from today's open media practice

3:28 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Locker room was complete madness (Jeff Goodman and Pete Thamel in the house tho!) ... Fortunately got what I needed, blog post coming soon.

3:11 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Kentucky getting booed very loudly as the Wildcats take the court for their open media practice.

11:15 am by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

En route to Syracuse with JM and RE of Slope TV Sports fame...I was just on ESPN First Take -- at least my name and voice was. Hopefully there will be a link to it somewhere soon ... Sorry for the shameless self-promotion, but in the words of Lou Dale, "after this it's nothing but babies and memories"

12:55 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Second radio interview = success! ... except for the split second where I couldn't think of John Wall's name...from Denver to Long Island, everyone wants to talk Cornell basketball!

10:10 am by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

7:12 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Riding on the team bus to the airport because there wasn't enough room on the cheerleader/band/administrator bus. What up Aaron Osgood bus buddy.

6:41 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Obama was wrong with his prediction that Wisconsin would beat us...but Jay Bilas is still going strong! Elite Eight here we come!

6:35 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Watching Duke-Cal right now, getting ready to fly home (to Cornell) tonight...Syracuse on Wednesday, this has been the best Spring Break EVER.

6:04 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Susan Murphy was in the house for the game! And Andy Noel made it too!

6:02 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Thinking this live-blog is good luck, probably going to keep it going if no one has any objections. Now Jay Bilas is going to get a chance to prove to everyone that he actually does know what he's talking about.

4:43 pm by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:

Uneventful media day. Pool time? Finally?

10:55 am by Alex Kuczynski-Brown:
