Watch the NCAA Tourney With People Who Care

With the Dawgs and Cougs out of the running, we're bummed that we won't get to watch a late-round tourney game in a bar packed with partisans who cheer with every shot.

But we can replicate it, thanks to transplanted Kansas and Ohio State fans who are gathering tonight for their schools' respective 3rd-round games.

Kansas fans--including some very attractive girls (who knew?)--met in Spitfire's back room for the first round game last Friday, and though there's no scheduled event, the bar's showing the game back there again and expecting a decent turnout. The Jayhawks play Southern Illinois at 4:10.

Ohio State fans reserved Sport's lounge area--you know, behind the bar where that projection TV is--for the Buckeyes' game vs. Tennessee. Scheduled tipoff is 6:57.

To get you pumped, here's Ron Lewis' last-second game tying shot from OSU's OT win over Xavier on Saturday, as called by Gus Johnson.

You can also watch the games on CBS or online.
