NCAA Tournament

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 11 years ago

Yeah, most games were ~10 margins... disappointing. I was hoping for closer games.

FINALLY, a great game!
Trey Burke is showing why he's a POY
candidate.

Hell of a rally by Michigan to go into OT.

The Duke-Mich St game should be a good one too.

I think FGCU's bubble bursts tonight.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 11 years ago

Great comeback win by Michigan, in spite of horrendous FT shooting. I'm glad they won, I'm sick of teams like Kansas always being there every year.

Now get rid of Duke. [Sorry Bobby]

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 11 years ago

Michigan State is showing what the lack of an outside
shooting threat can limit an offense and make coming back
very difficult.
Florida looks like the real deal against FGCU.
Brown isn't doing anything for FGCU.

When Duke wins, I win. The rest of my bracket is garbage, but if Duke wins I have a shot. Not many in my pool picked them.

Big shout out to Dunk City. Even in defeat, they were awesome to watch. I'd love it if Rhody could buy a game with them next year. I'm sure they'll be in demand though. They have some really fun players that will be around for a couple years.

I want Louisville to take out Duke !!

Ramulous · Unread post by **Ramulous** » 11 years ago

My interest in the Tournament ended with FGCU's elimination.......only teams from the Cartel are left.....

Bos8 · Unread post by **Bos8** » 11 years ago

Wichita State is in the cartel?

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 11 years ago

I wanted MSU, but I knew they were flawed, because of lack of
shooting from outside.
I'm not rooting for Pitino or Louisville.
Maybe Florida. Not much to like of the remains.

Ramulous · Unread post by **Ramulous** » 11 years ago

My bad.....Wichita St. will keep me interested......I was having a senior moment....

Ramblinrose · Unread post by **Ramblinrose** » 11 years ago

I had Indiana to take it all. But my bracket was blown before Thursday.

rhodyfan3 · Unread post by **rhodyfan3** » 11 years ago

I had Kansas to take it all. Gut feeling pick. I can't believe they blew it like that to Michigan but Michigan is a strong team. Wouldn't mind seeing them take it.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 11 years ago

I like Ohio State, because of Craft's leadership and'Desaun Thomas, who
was the best player we faced all season.

ramfan85 · Unread post by **ramfan85** » 11 years ago

I think I picked FGCU to win it all last month. Maybe not.

Actually, I like Louisville's chances. Hope I'm wrong (as always).

Wasn't Southerland on Syracuse declared ineligible earlier this year, then magically reinstated? Seems like stuff like that has happened more than once at 'Cuse...wonder if it'll ever catch up with them?

They've been playing great though, and it's nice to see Carter-Williams do well.

Congrats to the Shockers final 4 !!!

Seems like a mid major is getting to the FF every year now.

Will it be our turn soon?

I was thinking the same thing. But I would say the ones who are making it, are "Mid-Majors". All of them have made a big commitment to basketball, and their coaches are all paid about $1m a year. Didn't someone post an article that says any program that pays their coach over something like a $500k a year is not a mid-major? I don't remember the exact dollar figure, but I seem to remember Rhody being above or around the number.

Happy Easter!

ramfan85 · Unread post by **ramfan85** » 11 years ago

39 points for an elite eight team is ridiculous.
I wonder if St. Louis or VCU had made it to the final four if they'd be called cinderella.

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 11 years ago

Louisville now with a 16 point lead over Duke with about 7 1/2 minutes left. Louisville is killing Duke in the paint which more than offsets their 1-10 three point shooting.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 11 years ago

The Louisville-Michigan game will be the game of the tournament. Both are playing extremely well.

Syracuse will beat Wichita St. unless Wichita St. makes a high percentage of their 3's. That zone is tough.

The winner of the L-M game will be the national champ.

Louisville plays Wichita State.

Michigan plays Syracuse.

But I do agree with your last statement.

That was one of the worst basketball injuries I've ever seen. Don't watch the video if you have a weak stomach

sf2010 · Unread post by **sf2010** » 11 years ago

Horrible injury for Ware. Here's hoping he makes a full recovery and comes back to the court for Louisville down the road.

Excellent Final Four matchup in Syracuse v. Michigan, that zone against UMs offensive abilities is going to be fantastic to watch.

My heart is rooting for Wichita State, but I really can't see them stopping Louisville.

reef · Unread post by **reef** » 11 years ago

That really was a disgusting injury

Syracuse Michigan will be a war

Ramblinrose · Unread post by **Ramblinrose** » 11 years ago

I never want to see that Ware injury clip again. The reaction of his teammates tells all you need to know. That is as gruesome as any injury I've ever seen.

hey look the Final Four is starting

Rhody74 · Unread post by **Rhody74** » 11 years ago

Shockers giving Louisville all they can handle. They probably won't win, but it's a heck of a game.

STC · Unread post by **STC** » 11 years ago

Bad call at the end, it looked like Baker had it. Shouldn't have been a jump ball.

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 11 years ago

awful "jump ball" call at the end, let the play go another second if you're the refs it won't make much difference

Unread post by **ATPTourFan** » 11 years ago

GREAT run by the Shockers! Love their little spikey haired mascot.

L'ville is the only really good team in the Dance this year.

Ramulous · Unread post by **Ramulous** » 11 years ago

No reason to watch it anymore.

ramfan85 · Unread post by **ramfan85** » 11 years ago

It always amazes me how quickly these refs can differentiate between a foul and a jump ball tie up. That play brought back some bad memories.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 11 years ago

Wow! Michigan looks like us inside.
Can't buy a rebound.

reef · Unread post by **reef** » 11 years ago

2 really good games

Final should be a good one also

This Championship game is one of the wildest halves ever!

twisted3829 · Unread post by **twisted3829** » 11 years ago

that was awesome, here's to an equally great second half

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 11 years ago

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 11 years ago

One of the best basketball games I've seen in a good while. Rooting hard for Louisville, but really the game is just unreal on both sides.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 11 years ago

Can't root for 15 second Rick.
Siva was unreal, though.
Poor clock management by Bielien in the last couple of minutes.
When it counted, Michigan just couldn't come up with a rebound.

ramfan85 · Unread post by **ramfan85** » 11 years ago

"Gotta give 'em credit." Louisville deserved it.
Maybe Rick will take his family to his favorite restaurant to celebrate.

Unread post by **TruePoint** » 11 years ago

I don't mind Pitino. I guess I understand why people like to make fun of the restaurant sex thing, but it doesn't bother me. I'm much more bothered by guys like Calipari, who are just straight scoundrels.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 11 years ago

"Maybe Rick will take his family to his favorite restaurant to celebrate."
He'll go inside it for 15 seconds, and leave.

rambone 78 · Unread post by **rambone 78** » 11 years ago

Hey, say what you want about Rick, but his team was the better team tonight.

Burke tried to win it by himself, but couldn't. Two amazing PG's though. That's what it takes to get to, and win the national championship.

If EC turns out to be anywhere near as good as those guys, we'll have something really special.
