March Madness Results: 2015 NCAA Tournament Bracket, Live Scores

If  you’re not able to watch March Madness live, Frank Doyle’s live blog is the next best thing to track your brackets and bets. 

Take a look back to Thursday’s NCAA Tournament live blog. 

So your bracket is busted. Cry me a river, princess.

Out of more than 11 million ESPN brackets just 273 brackets remain unblemished after Thursday’s nonsense. The best way to deal with this is realize we’re all in this misery together. Really, yesterday featured some of the most entertaining hoops I’ve ever seen from an opening day.

Today I’m going back to the well with the Kansas Jayhawks after they busted my bracket last year. I might end up hating myself for it.

How the Ones have Done: A Historic Look at the No. 1 Seeds

PREGAME:

We’ll focus on the Kansas Jayhawks’ matchup with New Mexico St. but will check in with other action as time permits. This line has bounced around a bit.

The Jayhawks opened as 11.5-point favorites, then moved up to -12, and has been on the way down ever since. Right now it sits at -10 and Sports Interaction is seeing 57 percent of its bets coming in on New Mexico at the moment so maybe yesterday’s upsets have left bettors a little gunshy on the big number.

Kansas (2) vs. New Mexico St. (15) Line: Kansas -10, Over/Under 132.5

Michigan St. (7) vs. Georgia (10) Line: Michigan St. -6.5, Over/Under 127

Northern Iowa (5) vs. Wyoming (12) Line: Northern Iowa -6.5, Over/Under 111

West Virginia (5) vs. Buffalo (12) Line: West Virginia -5, Over/Under 149.5

Marv on the mic! Today’s already better than yesterday!

GAME ON

Perry Ellis off the glass for the first score of the game. It’s going to be a long day if the Jayhawks get looks like those.

Kansas looks focused early. You have to wonder if these top seeds are on high alert after all of yesterday’s upsets. Self probably read them the riot act. His angry face is the greatest.

15:35 – Kansas up 11-4.

Aggies are getting some open looks from outside. They’ll need those to go down to hang around with the Jayhawks.

Kansas up 15-7. Jayhawks shooting 60 percent so far.

12:32 – Aggies get it to go from down low but Ellis answers with a dunk at the other end. Kansas up 17-9.

Best thing about New Mexico State right now is its logo. Which IS very awesome.

9:00 – Kansas owning inside now. Jayhawks stretch lead to 24-14.

Forgot the Aggies have five Canadians on the roster. Get it together, you hosers!

5:39 – Kansas up 26-16. It really isn’t as close as the score suggests. The Jayhawks are forcing the Aggies into turnovers and it’s a bit scrappy right now. Feels like Kansas has a few more gears to get to while this might be all New Mexico State has.

UPDATE: Georgia up 11-4 vs. Michigan State. Probably going to lose it if the Spartans fall here.

Jayhawks rolling and this is getting ugly. Time to get your live bets in before halftime. Kansas -15.5

HALFTIME

Kansas 36 New Mexico State 23

Favorite high-rotation #MarchMadness ad goes to Powerade with Derrick Rose and Tupac. How much did that cost?

Kansas Jayhawks open at -2.5 on the halftime line vs. New Mexico State.

GEORGIA vs. MICHIGAN STATE

Looks like a good one going down here. MSU up 24-17 with 5:50 left in the half.

27-20 MSU with 13 points from the bench. That’s very, very good news for Spartans bettors.

They show Magic Johnson courtside and the Spartans stretch lead to double digits. Coincidence? Of course not.

Spartans close out the half up 35-22. They look excellent.

Michigan State Spartans open at +1 on the halftime line vs. Georgia.

UPDATE: Kansas is just taking New Mexico State apart. Jayhawks up 55-41 midway through the second half. We’ll stick with MSU-Georgia

MSU vs. GEORGIA

Aggies coming out strong after the half to cut MSU’s lead to 37-27.

Great ball movement by MSU. They’re getting good looks each time they get down the floor and already have had 10 different players check into the game.

15:45 – 39-33 MSU

Georgia cuts the lead to 39-37. waiting for Tom Izzo angry face any moment now.

Following angry face, MSU jumps back to a 52-41 lead. Georgia can’t leave those snipers open outside.

UPDATE: Kansas 75 New Mexico State 56.

There’s Trice showing off his slashing skills again. Kid’s a natural with the ball in his hands. Great feel for the game, reading defenses.

MSU 57 Georgia 45.

Getting close to go time for Georgia. Michigan State keeps answering and holds a 64-52.

Three players with at least 12 points for the Spartans.

Uh-oh, not again. And-1 for Georgia cuts lead to 6 with 34 ticks left.

64-60 with 27 seconds left after free throws. MSU goes to the line the other way.

Another and-1 for Georgia. Now a one-possession game with 20 seconds left.

Michigan State holds on with some good work at the foul line. 70-63 final is good for Spartan bettors too.
