All things March Madness.

Who's your final 4?

- How is Oregon in the tournament?
- How the hell can the committee justify Kentucky making the tourney?
- I hate OSU, but I think they should be in...
- Wisconsin a 3 seed while Texas, a team with more losses, who lost to them, who didn't even win their conference tournament a 2 seed?

Michigan should be in.

More questions:

- Where is Appalachian St? They were robbed.

- Who will get the honor of starting the most NIT OGTs?

- Will John Chaney's eyes finally fall out if Temple beats MSU? Will he then kick Calipari's ass?

- Will bukdow return to WTF after each (?) MSU victory?

MSU is playing out here. Too bad I don't have tickets.

I am looking forward to Kansas State-USC.

Georgia is kicking Xavior's ass so far. 9 point lead, near the half.

I understand that MSU is the game this region will watch, but that doesn't mean I'll enjoy it. This is near unwatchable basketball so far.

MSU, UCLA, Tennessee and Vanderbilt are my final 4.

I find michigan state is the safest way to go in any given bracket. Izzo finds a way to get it done.

Michigan should be in.


:cogent: :BARWIS:

My Final 4: North Carolina, Kansas, UCLA, Pitt.

Belmont on the verge of upsetting Duke...

Jay Bilas will commit suicide if this happens...

2 first round exits in consecutive years...

FIRE COACH K!

Bilas is still alive.

Bilas is still alive.


Unfortunately.

I like him as an analyst.

I like him as an analyst.



He's better than others I suppose...

ACC biased though...and he said that Raymar Morgan is the best forward in the nation a couple months ago...

and he thought it was a mistake for Michigan to fire Tommy A.

Quote of the tourney so far...


The Delta Devils shot 22 percent (8-of-36) in the half -- an opponent season low against the Bruins. They were nearly even with UCLA in offensive rebounds, but got clobbered 19-6 on the defensive glass, and missed all nine of their 3-point attempts.

The game's only suspense occurred in the opening minutes of the second half when the ball got stuck behind the backboard. Referee Bryan Kersey tried a few times to dislodge it using another ball and got booed when it didn't budge.

"That's a difficult play, but we worked on that," Green joked. "Our whole plan was to delay the game. I was hoping they would be a little bit distracted".

Hardly. The 6-foot-10 Love walked over and tried it, needing three tosses to knock the ball loose. He shook hands with Kersey, the crowd cheered and Love walked away smiling."He told me afterward I showed him up," Love said.

Great humor for a coach whose team scored a grand total of 29 points against UCLA.

So this Pitt/MSU game might be worth watching.

If MSU wins, we may even get a bukky/Tre sighting.

But only if they win, of course.

I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for tickets on Ebay/Craigs list I can snag cheap. ND and WSU would be a good game too.

Curry from Davidson with 40 points. He doesn't even look old enough to be in college.

glad I picked them. I wanted American to win so bad (I have Butler in the next round). I need West Ky to pull it out in OT as well. It would make up for some bad picks yesterday.

Curry from Davidson with 40 points. He doesn't even look old enough to be in college.

Del Curry's son.

Del Curry's son.

Looks just like him too.

I didn't know that Kevin Love from UCLA is Mike Love's (Beach Boys) nephew.

He looks like Mike, too.

ACC biased though...

Well, you're Michigan biased.

My pick for NCAA Champion: Marquette Golden Eagles!

Wowza, Western Kentucky knocks off Drake with a walk off 3.

Oh yeah, I want to bang Candace Parker. Hard.

^ There's the only post in this thread that'll be talking about a woman!

San Diego up 4 on Connecticut, 50.3 left.

SD-UCONN going to OT.

SD dude hits jumper to put SD up 70-69 with 1.2 left.

Oh maw gawd, SD wins!

Oh yeah, I want to bang Candace Parker. Hard.

You'll have to fight me for her.

Can her brother and the rest of the Raptors, watch?

We'll both have to fight Shelden Williams for her.

We'll both have to fight Shelden Williams for her.

Why wouldn't she choose one of the many NBAers that don't look like trolls/ogres? Or is she that into the Shrek movies?

Beats me.

I figure all I'd have to do is rob Shelden at gunpoint and make him break off the engagement to her. Then she's mine.

Dook down 6 to West Vageenya with 7:50 left.

Beilein's Boyz.

Holy balls, Davidson!

Good breakdown on the sweet 16 teams:

Holy twatsquirt MSU needs a comeback of all comebacks.

50-20 at the half?

LMAO...

Damn, MSU is quitting something fierce.

This is like watching the Pistons walk off the floor against the Bulls in 1991, except there's like 25 minutes left in this game.

So I was at the games tonight and LeBron was there. I sat right by the entrance to the court, and when he got up and walked out (not even through the end of the first game, every person within earshot booed the shit out of him. Except for a couple of fuckers from Davidson, who cheered for him, and then we booed them.

All LeBron did was put on a cocky smile and raise his arms.

How dare they boo God?!

Shut up Zekyl. This is why people hate Cleveland.

What was that nickname for Neitzel that DrTre11 used to use?

Sweet 16 is a nice accomplishment for this MSU team, but they shit the bed on the big stage last night. That has to hurt.

The Lights are officially out now. Welcome to Europe, the only play you'll have a chance to play for pay. Hope you enjoyed that Preseason All-American, because you were arguably the biggest bust in recent memory to wear such a crown.

It's pretty easy to say that he's a bust but I think Izzo and his offense became predictable. What has Drew made his entire 4 year career on? Coming off screens and shooting. Pretty easy to stop when you have 4 years of game film to break down and figure out how to stop him. Same thing with Chris Hill. Same thing with Ballinger. MSU's seniors have had a history of crapping the bed.

the bukdowing of drew neitzel was a little depressing to watch last night. im no spartan/neitzel fan, but that was an awful way to end your career.

He should be thrilled he got the 6 points late. Getting shutout would have really sucked.

Best coaching ever for Izzo?

Best coaching ever for Izzo?

Thank you.

I think UCLA is gonna win the whole shootin' match.

And I'm not just saying that because I picked them.

Okay, maybe I am , but they're good.

Is this going to be the year that all four #1s go to the Final Four?

I think it's interesting that while 4 of the final 6 are 1 seeds, Texas was the only 2 seed in the elite 8 and Tennessee was the only other 2 seed in the sweet 16.

Also, the 1 seeds were the top 4 teams in the preseason poll as well. Clearly a strong seperation between them and the rest of the pack this year.

i've never seen a court like the one in the memphis game. is it safe? seems rather crappy for everyone who's gonna be stck looking up these guys shorts all day. not that theres anything wrong with that.

Damn, I was looking forward to this Texas-Memphis game, but Memphis is beating their ass right now. I was also looking forward to watching the Memphis-Michigan State game, before it started.

Can't wait for Davidson-Kansas!

Down 17, 1:01 left, and Texas is still fouling.

if stephen curry scores 17 (1/2 his avg) i would be impressed.

Steph's mom = MILF.

agreed.

One upset would be nice...why not Davidson?

Davidson...who are these guys?

Gus Johnson needs to do more Pistons games. I like listening to him.

Davidson...who are these guys?

Aks KStat.

Kstat is so good he can connect Davidson to the Pistons somehow.

Bill Davidson

That was a good game.

Four #1s in the Final Four this year.

UCLA-Memphis is going to be really, really good.

Aks KStat.

Yea, I'll get right on that.

memphis vs ucla indeed be a great game. im rather indifferent towards nc knasas. i would think nc would mop up, and those teams just arent as intriguing.

Kstat is so good he can connect Davidson to the Pistons somehow.

Bill Davidson
Probably the reason that he picked them.

I was at the Davidson / Kansas game. The crowd was so amped up that they didn't even notice that the first 10 minutes of that game was HORRIBLE. It wasn't even defensive, it was just that neither team could get a shot to fall. I'd rather sit in a cloud of my own fart dust than see a game like that again.

fiksed

Final seconds of Kansas-Davidson to be replayed (this time in Charlotte)? Wow.

D'OH!!!!!!!! PTI GOT ME.

We already know how bukdow feels about Memphis beating UCLA.

I'm absolutely stunned that Kansas is up on North Carolina 28-10.

this is the best ive ever seen a team play.

wtf is going on?

Talk about a nightmare if you're a UNC fan.

Kansas is blitzkriegin' them.

this is the best ive ever seen a team play.

wtf is going on?

Definitely the most hustle I've seen.

Fuck Kansas.

getting every loose ball, hitting every shot. there was a few minute stretch where nc couldnt even get a shot off. you dont play much better than that.

This is the ugliest I've seen UNC play in forever. Kansas is playing tough though, there was one play with T in the post and I think he caught about ten elbows to the noggin from four diff guys before a whistle.

Fuck Kansas.

is it the kneck tattoos?

Kansas is beating NORTH CAROLINA by 28 in the FIRST HALF.

40-12 and UNC hasn't scored for 14 straight posessions or something like that.

nc just has to weather the storm...........................................

thats a 25 to 2 run, btw.

Let's see what Kansas have to offer now that they've walked it up for the first time the entire game.

21 point game, think Kansas is sweating now? lol

this one is 100000% on coach. is kansas a better team than nc? maybe. is it night and day? no. 23-10, the announcer himself said roy wanted them to play through this.

you cant do that. not with what was going on. he needed them to settle down, not fall back on the ropes and take body blow after body blow.

coach had to do his job, there.

Oh shit, 18 point game. Here come the Heels!

down to 18 with what, 3 minutes left? they can get this down to 12 by the half. that would be pretty amazing and also make the second half worth watching (im going to watch it regardless).

Kansas looks tired.

backbreaker.

Won't see many fun blowouts, but that was one.

CDR's dunk over Love was nasty by the way.

Way to step it up to start the half UNC.

Damn, that back door play to Chalmers to open up the second was fantastic.

lol, Hansbrough lost his contact lense.

lol, Hansbrough lost his contact lense.

That would be courageous if he played throught that.

i bet nc gets it to within 10 and then its good night miss for nc.

If Kansas wins this game and plays on Monday like they did in the first half of this game then it will be a great NC game, because Memphis is fun to watch as well.

Come on, dude.

i bet nc gets it to within 10 and then its good night miss for nc.

this game got amazingly interesting.

i was just ripping my bracket to pieces, sobbing, and now theres a light... maybe.

Selfish play by Green.

i have a feeling that the next 12 minutes are going to decide this game.

why foul?!?!?!??!?!?!

UNC servin some GTFO right now.

I thought Memphis-UCLA was going to be the better game today. And even though Kansas was up 28 in the first half, looks like I'll be wrong now that UNC is coming back.

BTW that "my better is better than your better" (or whatthefuckever) commercial sucks.

I don't care if it is UNC, this comeback is spectacular. They were down 28 to a team that was good enough to get to the Final Four, as a 1 seed.

i like those commercials.

if kansas loses this one, we're talking all time chokes.

i have a feeling that rush basket was big.

Hansbrough, Rush out. Gonna get even more interesting.

i dont know what hansborough was projected to go in the draft before this game, but i dont know how you could use a 1st rounder on him now.

i hope joe doesnt do it.

That shot by Ellington was sick.

the fuck? I turn the channel for a minute, turn it back, and Kansas is up 12.

indeed.

this is what i was talking about.

nc made its move, got it close, but there was a resistance point at 5 pts and kansas pushed back. nice job making it close, but this one is ova!

This one had potential.

LB in the house, looking like he's about to cry.

I assume Hansbrough's done. What a crappy way to go out.

I imagine the peeps that felt jilted by Roy leaving Kansas will feel good.

Fuck Kansas.

Did you hear that douche go "one more game!"?

Fucking showboater. Thought I saw a neck tattoo too.

Those neck tats are going to ruin college sports.

Net geeks game recap...


Kansas: GTFO
UNC: mmm U GTFO
Kansas: GTFOOMGROFLBBQ

FTW!!
