College Basketball Season 2010/2011

[Loose Cannon]

I've missed you. Any thoughts on this upcoming season? Duke has a lot of thier core back, so it's going to be tough stopping them. Michigan State's going to be dangerous again.

Let's kick it off with the man. Go Charlotte!!!

[OssMan]

fuck duke

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Duke's got the younger Curry on their team now too. Gonna be pretty sick.

Stupid.

[OssMan]

Isn't there another faggot Plumlee coming there too

[RP]

Tennessee got upset by a Division 2 Indianapolis team tonight.

LULZ

[RP]

Isn't there another faggot Plumlee coming there too

The Plumlee brothers and the Zeller brothers are a huge controversy in Indiana.

[Emperor Smeat]

Duke's got the younger Curry on their team now too. Gonna be pretty sick.

Stupid.

They only got him after they completely rejected his older brother any chance of plating for them (one of his initial schools) and the hype of him being even better than Stephen and his dad.

Meanwhile, not surprised URI lost to Pitt who can be very physical and is rated #4. URI did make it tough for Pitt and hopefully they break the 3 year curse of falling apart late in the season to miss the tournament.

[RP]

Tennessee got upset by a Division 2 Indianapolis team tonight.

LULZ


by 15 points...

on Tennessee's home court...

[RP]

they were down 8 points at the half....

they outscored Tennessee in the 2nd half by 23 points...

[Droford]

Maryland beat College of Charleston 75-74 but deserved to lose...they went like 3-15 from the FT line. I guess I know what they'll be doing in practice for a while..

[Loose Cannon]

are you kidding me, Hummel tears his ACL and is done

[RP]

yah that happened like 2 months ago. Thanks for rehashing that memory for me.

[Loose Cannon]

really? where the fuck have I been. sucks though.

[RP]

I suppose you're going to mention that Chris Kramer graduated last year too? FUCK YOU!

[Loose Cannon]

there's always the NIT man

[RP]

What bro? They still have 2 All Americans on there team still.

But damn i miss Chris Kramer.

[RP]

The Big Ten is going to be so fucking good this year.

[RP]

I think Illinois is going to be a contender. I think Ohio St will contend. I think IU will shock a lot of people and make a run for the tournament selection ( probably not contend tho ).

I'm not sold on Michigan St. Purdue, State, Ohio St, Illinois and you can never count out Wisconsin. They all have a legit shot. I think Purdue will take honestly. Lewis Jackson will shock some people. They have maybe the best center in college basketball ( in the conversation at least ) in JuJuan Johnson. And Etuan Moore is a great 2 guard and one of the best in College basketball. Both All Americans.

[RP]

Indiana just landed Cody Zeller.

[Loose Cannon]

Louisville taking it to Butler right now

[Droford]

Maryland vs #4 Pitt at MSG on thursday

Terps are gonna get run over...

[Ermaximus]

Can't believe the JU Dolphins beat the Gators yesterday. Mind is just blown. How does a small time Sun Belt team like JU beat a big name school like the Gators? Just unreal.

[ClockShot]

UConn Women gonna make some history tonight!

[Ermaximus]

Love me some lady Huskies ClockShot.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

This Georgetown/St. John's game is awesome.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Raftery bustin a nut.

[Loose Cannon]

great game. St John's about to pull the upset

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Can already tell St. John's is a different team with Lavin. They never won those games in the past.

3-0 in Big East play too.

0-2 against the A10 basement dwellers though :o

[OssMan]

Illinois down 64-61 vs. #1 Ohio State with 3 minutes left and Gus Johnson calling it

[parkmania]

Good job, Bob Huggins!

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/blog/the_dagger/post/West-Virginia-forward-walks-out-on-team-in-the-m?urn=ncaab-311354

[mhirn3]

Hopefully with the Duke loss last night my Heels can win the acc with a win tonight and then one against the Pukies next sat.

[Loose Cannon]

who sent me a link to the tournamenet pickem? Is it the same group as last year that we did on here? it was from shawnm

[McLegend]

That's Rp

[OssMan]

best season thread ever

[Loose Cannon]

Iona's about to get bounced :(

[mhirn3]

ACC Champions!

Hopefully we can carry this momentum into the acc tourney this week

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Old Dominion's gonna win at least 1 game in the tourney this year, maybe 2 if they don't get an 8/9 seed.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Also LOL @ that dude on Gonzaga with the the Tim Burton sleeve tats.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

This guy

[Ermaximus]

We should have a TPWW Final Four Bracket Tournament.

[Emperor Smeat]

NCAA rejected any talks of expanding the tournament from 68 to a more rounded number in the near future after some questions in an announcement to the press today.

It could be related to everyone thinking the lower conferences would get some extra benefit from the extra spots (at least 1 or 2 of the extra spots) but ESPN is predicting all 4-5 extra spots to go to the "BCS"/Top 6 conferences.

[mhirn3]

The best 68 teams should get the spots, who cares what conference.

[OssMan]

It's not 64 teams anymore? 16 in each bracket?

[Emperor Smeat]

Nope it went up to 68 now and instead of 1 play-in game (64 v 65), its now 4 play-in games but done a bit differently.

Instead of just having all 4 play-in winners be #16 seeds, its set as 2 winners are a #16 seed, 1 winner as an #11 seed, and 1 winner as a #12 seed this year.

[Loose Cannon]

yep, 4 Play ins are tuesday

[Loose Cannon]

We should have a TPWW Final Four Bracket Tournament.

we do.

[OssMan]

Sorry to pull a Big Vito 22 here but after seeing that North Carolina win against Miami I'm fully expecting another gay ass team to win this year and get all the help they need from the refs.

[mhirn3]

Sorry to pull a Big Vito 22 here but after seeing that North Carolina win against Miami I'm fully expecting another gay ass team to win this year and get all the help they need from the refs.

Come on now, erasing a 19 point deficit with 10 minutes to go is impressive. The refs screwed unc just as much as Miami.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

St. Johns got a couple bad calls in that Rutgers game too...

[Loose Cannon]

Jardine with a 3 to tie it!!!!!!!

HA HA [/Gus Johnson]

[Loose Cannon]

UCONN with one last shot

[Loose Cannon]

OT #1

[OssMan]

Here come the refs

[Crimson]

Nope it went up to 68 now and instead of 1 play-in game (64 v 65), its now 4 play-in games but done a bit differently.

Instead of just having all 4 play-in winners be #16 seeds, its set as 2 winners are a #16 seed, 1 winner as an #11 seed, and 1 winner as a #12 seed this year.

WTF that sounds confusing. So every year will it be random? like next year it will be a 16 , two 14 seeds, and a number 10 seed playing in? They should just make them 16 seeds.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Nah I think they set it up so that the last 4 at large teams have to play play-in games so that it's not just the little conferences that have to do the play-in games every year.

[Emperor Smeat]

I doubt they will always change the extra 4 seeds but wouldn't be surprised if the first few tournaments have them flipping some spots around to find the best play-ins.

I think the NCAA had said they don't want to make all of them #16 seeds or else they could end up with a strong #16 seed than normal from one of the Top 6 conferences.

[mhirn3]

Carolina survives again...thank god. Can not keep spotting teams points like this, a good team(puke) will bury us.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

what # are you

[OssMan]

what # are you
3 (mhirn3)

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>UConn :love:

Kemba Walker played all but like 5 minutes in the tourney. Ridiculous.</font>

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Charles already sounding like a stupid fucking retard on CBS. Way to go, Chuck.

[OssMan]

Man I am just so stoked for another Duke/Carolina game

[Nervous Ferret]

Wait guys Clemson basketball choked? Just shock me

[Nervous Ferret]

Not that they are ever going to make a realistic run at anything ever but it is hilarious to see every time they (Clemson) put themselves in a good position they choke. I have never seen them win an NCAA tournament game despite having some pretty legit teams the last few years.


I do like Bradley Brownell much more than that gross darkie Purnell though

[Loose Cannon]

yea, Clemson are notorious for chocking. I never have them going past the 2nd round now and days

[RP]

Im curious to see where butler will be seeded at. They should be a 5 or 6.

[mhirn3]

what # are you

Are you serious? As a fan I can't use we? :roll:

Hate Duke.

http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0ggSc2Rbo00oL/x350.jpg

[Emperor Smeat]

Duke got another "easy" bracket this year as the lowest #1 seed. All the big names except for #4 Texas are in the bottom of the bracket.

Ohio State as the #1 overall 1st seed got a tougher group than Duke. Might be similar to Kansas or Kentucky's extra tough group of last year.

Big East managed to get 11 teams into the field.

[RP]

Id love to hear the explanation as to why Florida got az 2 seed over Purdue. also, I can see Butler upsetting Pitt in second round

[Emperor Smeat]

:rofl: ESPN trying to trash the lower conferences (UAB, VCU) so that more of the bigger conferences get a bid (ex. Alabama even though they have a 80 for RPI). This year the Big 6 got 30 out of 37 non-automatic bids.

Florida as a #2 makes no sense especially how they got destroyed by Kentucky today.

Also not shocked UNC and Duke play their games again in N. Carolina although weird in calling that the "West" bracket even though the finals in in California.

[Loose Cannon]

Florida's getting bounced real quick. don't worry.

Excited where St John's is and very excited to possibly get Carolina/Syracuse in the 16.

no way Georgia is a 10.

kind of liking Marquette over Xavier.

Butler/OD is a tough call

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>UConn should be able to get to the Sweet 16 but after that not too sure.

Gonna analyze the brackets and make my picks in the group tomorrow or something.</font>

[OssMan]

Go GEORGE MASON, go Xavier, go Syracuse, go Boston University, go Richmond, go Georgetown, go ODU, go VCU

Boo Duke, boo UNC, boo Georgia, boo UCONN, boo Florida State, boo Notre Dame, boo BYU, boo Michigan State.

[MIZantine Empire]

jay bilas, the astounding chud that he is, says that they got the number one seeds perfect. i do not see his logic..we have pitt, who didnt win a game in their conference tourney grab the 3rd number one seed, and SD State who only lost twice THIS YEAR, both to BYU i might add, gets a 2 seed...how does that work? I live in Tucson, and grew up in Southern Arizona, so my allegiance is with the Wildcats, and im happy we are back in the dance. however that being said, i do believe they put us with one of the toughest roads to make a run. our first game is against Memphis who is coached by Josh Pastnor, a member of our 97 national championship team, and honored UA alum. not to mention we have to potentially knock off Texas, Duke, Uconn, and SD State. we lose to a solid Washington team and they punish us with the dreaded 5 seed in the group of death. anyways, i do not have my picks yet, and would like to be directed to the tpww final four picks.

[McLegend]

I don't like these play in games. Not giving me enough time damnit.

[Loose Cannon]

yea really.

[Loose Cannon]

why didn't you join our league yet? :mad:

[Loose Cannon]

for anyone that wants to play

Group ID#: 22583
Password: kramer

[RP]

Yah I was gonna give that info out, forgot.

My final 4 are Duke, Kentucky, Purdue, Michigan St.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Have Duke winning the whole thing. How boring.</font> :(

[Ermaximus]

Gonna go with SDSU to win it all this year. Any money says Pitt is the first #1 seed ousted also. That whole bracket (Southeast) is terrible this year IMO.

[OssMan]

The group is still called Lets Vent

[Loose Cannon]

Let's get this thing started with my fav video. THE RUNNERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GkiM3tBJVhk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[McLegend]

I'm in now.

[Loose Cannon]

anybody watching this UNC Ashville game? 22 seconds left, game tied

[Loose Cannon]

lol Overtime already

[McLegend]

I thought that shot was in.

[Loose Cannon]

yea me too

[Crimson]

Why do they call these games the 1st round..so retarded. It should be the LAST FOUR ..or something else

[Loose Cannon]

yea, it's gay and throwing me off.

can't believe I didn't see this till now. COLD BLOOODED

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OEGP6nBiub8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Loose Cannon]

by the way Washington over Carolina

[MIZantine Empire]

yea, it's gay and throwing me off.

can't believe I didn't see this till now. COLD BLOOODED

<IFRAME title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OEGP6nBiub8" frameBorder=0 width=640 height=390 allowfullscreen></IFRAME>
this one still kills me..but what can ya do? we forced him to make a tough shot, and he did..hats off to the guy

[MIZantine Empire]

Ohio State, Duke, Notre Dame, BYU...thats my final four

[OssMan]

Those are some edgy picks there

[OssMan]

Carolina and Jimmer Fredette's Flying Virgins are both losing in the first round. Duke can go to the top of a large ship for all I care.

[Savio]

Fuck Duke.

[Loose Cannon]

1 hour baby. not feeling confident on my brackets. have very few upsets and I don't like that. Bucknell, Gonzaga, and Belmont are scaring me right now

[Ermaximus]

Clemson is going home first.

[Ermaximus]

Anyone got a good site where I can listen to the games on the computer? My radio isn't picking up any AM stations.

[OssMan]

Try www.thegamelive.com

I know you can watch all the games online for free on the NCAA site so you can just do that and minimize the video

[RP]

BUTLER

[RP]

Holy shit

[RP]

Matt howard was amazing

[RP]

I fucking love march madness

[RP]

Smith playing with four fouls for about 16 minutes and keeping that ball alive at the end was epic

[Miotch]

Nothing better than last second buzzer beaters.

[Ermaximus]

Hmmm, Morehead State is playing Louisville a lot tougher than I had expected.

[Emperor Smeat]

The last scoring play by Louisville was amazing. 1 guy bounced and weaved through the entire Morehead St team and then passes it for a huge dunk.

:eek: huge 3 pt shot made by Morehead with 4 seconds left.

Hmmm, Morehead State is playing Louisville a lot tougher than I had expected.
I think it was expected Louisville would struggle in this game due to Morehead State play style and them being a local rival type team due to location.

[Ermaximus]

The Cinderella has been chosen. 3 for 3. Just need PSU and UK to play better ball now. Pitt was a given to win today so no issue there.

[RoXer]

omg this girl at the Temple game is so hot. She's sitting behind the Temple bench at the very far right. Brunette with glasses and she marks down something on her paper every time someone scores so I assume she is a score keeper.

Actually, only saw her twice in the highlights so I'm switching to that game now to scope it out.

[Crimson]

I actually like the fact that i can switch to any game at any time

[Savio]

I kinda have mixed feeling, because it takes away from the madness of march.
----------------------
Damnit lou

[Crimson]

I was a little weary before too.But now that its here ,they still run the scores up on top so I can switch it to any close game when I please. NOt a bad deal..

[Supreme Olajuwon]

How could you possibly have a mixed feeling? You get to watch every game you want. How the fuck could you have any negative feeling about that at all

[Loose Cannon]

Kevin Anderson of Richmond is nasty. watched him dominate Charlotte the past two years.

Morehead State :love:

Yea and th Butler buzzer beater was sick.

[Loose Cannon]

fucking love this. plus it's St Patty's day. deadly tag team combination

[Droford]

Wofford's giving the Mormons a run for their money...hope they keep it up!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

love that Wofford is full of white kids and then have two jacked black dudes who look like they will fucking kill you

[Loose Cannon]

not looking good for Izzo's crew right now. And St John's.....

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Bearcatssssssss

[Loose Cannon]

these last four games are about to fuck up my bracket.

[Loose Cannon]

more so St Johns then anything

[Loose Cannon]

Spartans making it interesting

[Loose Cannon]

ughhhhh, little to late now. 76-72 UCLA ball

[Loose Cannon]

well... still making it interesting

[RP]

I hope msu pulls this out cause they're in my yahoo final 4

[Supreme Olajuwon]

gotta make your free throws UCLA

[Loose Cannon]

FUCK COME ON BUD

[Loose Cannon]

fucking Lucas had 3 foul shots right there. omg

[Emperor Smeat]

Would have been crazy if Michigan St hit that 3 pt shot but instead wasted a good 30 seconds for a miss.

[Loose Cannon]

holy fuck

[RP]

Michigan st should not have been in this tournament

[RP]

Lets go!!!!!!

[Loose Cannon]

oh you've got to be kidding me

[RP]

Fucking lame

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Fuck Gonzaga. I feel like I say that shit every year too... you'd think i'd stop betting against them by now.

[Loose Cannon]

was tossing that one up this morning and then the homer came out in me and I picked ST John's. And then I kept going with them into the 16 :(

dumb

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Actually got the Gonzaga pick right :cool: like many others the worst loss for me today was Louisville - had them going to the Sweet 16

could be worse. in another bracket group my dad had St. John's going to the 8 and PRINCETON going to the 16 :wtf: think he made some biased/underdog picks just for the sake of it. someone else in the group also had Louisville making it to the Final 4. oops.

pretty crazy to think that either Richmond or Morehead St are gonna be in the Sweet 16</font>

[McLegend]

I totally bought into the St. Johns hype and got destroyed. Fuck

Michgian State also hurt me.

[Ermaximus]

Way to play like shit Volunteers.

[OssMan]

MASON
MASON
MASON

[Ermaximus]

Lol, I swear Tennessee just gave up this half. It's pathetic.

[Emperor Smeat]

Been a lot of shitty free throwing teams when it comes to ending a game so far this tournament.

Villanova missed 2 FTs and Mason responds by tying the game late.

Yesterday it was UCLA, Louisville, and Vanderbilt being bad at FTs.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Picked Nova in this one. Fucking tight ending right now.</font>

[Ermaximus]

Looks like the West is going to be all the top seeded teams moving on.

[Ermaximus]

God, Duke doesn't even have their starters in against Hampton and their 2nd string guys are making Hampton look like a middle school squad.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: point-blank layup shot blocked by Arizona that could have tied the game for Memphis.

:lol: crowd didn't even care once the game was over, no booing or cheering but just dead silence.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Buckeyessssssss

[mhirn3]

That zona-memphis was my pick for game of the day and it certainly lived up to the hype.

Hope my heels dont come out flat against LIU after getting murdered by duke last weekend.

[Loose Cannon]

loving the games today. Gus Johnson announcing the Mason/Vandy game made my day. great ending right there

Arizona/Memphis was another good one. Memphis will def be back next year.

think I lost just one today in the Florida St game after I fucking got destroyed last night. haven't looked at our league at all yet. don't think I want to right now

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Muskiessssssss

[Droford]

thought for Sure Kansas was gonna choke...oh well

[MIZantine Empire]

:eek: point-blank layup shot blocked by Arizona that could have tied the game for Memphis.

:lol: crowd didn't even care once the game was over, no booing or cheering but just dead silence.
u serious? there was a lot of "OOOOHHHHHSSSSSS" plus i was cheering my ass off, was proud of my cats, and mad that the game was soo close, and i lost a few years off my life, lol

[MIZantine Empire]

also, was impressed with what pastnor has done with memphis in such a short time. he was on the 1997 wildcats championship team..i think he is gonna be a great coach for many years

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Got off to a great start, but yesterday just about sunk me.</font>

[My Nuts]

Today will be worse because I'm about to sink my nuts in yr. mouth

[mhirn3]

also, was impressed with what pastnor has done with memphis in such a short time. he was on the 1997 wildcats championship team..i think he is gonna be a great coach for many years

Me too. He had a great recruiting class this season, it was a shame someone had to lose that game.

UK gets payback on WV for the humiliation in the elite 8 last year today.

[Droford]

This Pitt/Butler game is gonna be crazy

[RP]

No

[RP]

Ehy

[OssMan]

LOL are you kidding Butler

[Droford]

whoops

[RP]

Why foul

[RP]

This is over

[RP]

Browm has neen money

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Fucking insanity.</font>

[Droford]

BAHHHH! LOL

[RP]

Foul77!!!

[RP]

Foul!!!!!!!!

[OssMan]

LOL are you kidding Pitt

[RP]

Super moon!!!!!!!!

[RP]

Super mooooooooooooooooooooon,xxzzxzzzz

[RP]

yessssssssz

[Emperor Smeat]

Why the hell did the Pitt guy even foul in that situation?

I think Pitt has lost in the second round (Third Round now) 3 for the last 4-5 years now and always as the higher seed.

[Droford]

I think that I was correct in saying that would be crazy..

[OssMan]

J*sus

[RP]

Never seen anything like that

[Droford]

When did Andy Samberg start playing for Butler?

eh, maybe not..I dunno

[RP]

I didnt catch the arizona mem game, but this was the best game of the tournament

[Droford]

http://a323.yahoofs.com/ymg/ept_sports_ncaab_experts__24/ept_sports_ncaab_experts-989257603-1297146304.jpg?ymAXnhEDCQRY8daY

HARDCORE HOWARD! LOL

[Nervous Ferret]

Incredible game. My bracket still looks pretty sexy have Butler in the final 4 and Conn over Purdue

[ClockShot]

Thank you Butler for taking down Pittsburgh. God damn thorn in our side these last couple seasons.

Morehead State/Richmond was boring as hell today. Couldn't get into it.

[OssMan]

fuck UNC

[Emperor Smeat]

1 bonehead decision by Henson (tries to catch air ball and misses with 0.5 sec left) and almost another by him (potential goal tending) almost gave away the lead to Washington had the last shot been a 3pt and not a 2pt attempt.

[mhirn3]

Thank god UNC survived that one.

Henson played like a jackass today, why the hell would he try and touch that, and why was he taking 18 foot jumpers in the first half?

Marshall had 14 assists, but he needs to protect the ball more, still makes way too many stupid passes.

Refs wanted to even out the fouls to start the 2nd half lol.....too bad they didn't bother to make up for the missed goaltending call against Washington in the first half on a foul of Zeller.

[OssMan]

I bet Henson smoked weed before the game

[ClockShot]

No cinderella run for George Mason this year.

[RoXer]

Can anyone else get the march madness launcher to play? Why am I stuck at the loading screen?

[ClockShot]

Word going around is that Tennessee fired Bruce Pearl.

I'm shocked, yet not surprised. He and Summitt are practically royalty on that campus. But he did fuck up a few times too many. I bet he'll bounce back at another big time program after the tournament is over.

[mhirn3]

I bet Henson smoked weed before the game

Honestly I wouldn't doubt it. Might explain why he wears the short shorts.


Oh and I'm shocked Pearl lasted the weekend before getting fired.

[ClockShot]

UCONN!

[Loose Cannon]

Game tied Florida/BYU 14 seconds. Gus Johnson watch

[Loose Cannon]

fucking horrible play by Florida. wtf was that

[Droford]

I think the Winner of Butler/Wisconsin has a shot to make it to the final 4. Florida wouldnt scare me that much.

[RP]

Butler !!!!!!

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Duke's eliminated. A bit of a head scratcher for Duke to do late fouling and TOs when coach K decided to quit a minute later.

Wisconsin fell apart badly in the 2nd half. I think the announcer said they were 1 for 16 in shooting and barely getting 1 point a minute. Butler definitely now part of the powerhouse for mid-majors along with Xavier, Memphis before last 2 years, and Gonzaga.

[Droford]

Im kinda surprised Arizona pasted Duke so handly...and Wisconsin was getting hammered early in the 2nd half and they've managed to hang in vs Butler but I dont think theres enough time left.

[Droford]

LOL Butlers gonna blow like a 20 point lead

[RP]

Comon

[McLegend]

Does any team practice against a full court press?

[RP]

Return of the Mack

[RP]

I blame Gus Johnson

[OssMan]

I GOTTA GO WITH THE DUKIES BABY!

[ClockShot]

Marquette should just throw in the towel right now.

[owenbrown]

Welcome to blowout win night.

[McLegend]

Lol Marv Albert is losing his voice.

[Emperor Smeat]

Pretty good ending to the Kentucky vs Ohio State game with Kentucky getting the upset. Ohio State was flat for most of the game with poor shooting.

The last 2 games tonight have been much better competitive wise than the 2 earlier blowout games.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Holy shit VCU</font>

[Droford]

Im figuring UNC and UConn make the final four, and I want VCU and Butler in there too but I doubt it, Butler having a much better chance vs Florida than VCU vs Kansas.

[Droford]

Butler has looked like garbage for the most of the 2nd half but they managed to keep it somewhat close and now have a spark going as they just got it to within 4 now..another game with Butler down to the wire..

[Droford]

GUS JOHNSON ALERT

..and we're going to OT

[Loose Cannon]

really love Butler

[Loose Cannon]

and Gus Johnson calling close Butler games is amazing. He loves Howard

[Loose Cannon]

"Crashing Boards"

[Loose Cannon]

RAINING 3'SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Droford]

This game has been insane the last 45 minutes or so

[Loose Cannon]

Matt Howard big time rebound

[Loose Cannon]

wtf kind of play was that for Florida. you don't need a 3 right away.

[Loose Cannon]

here we go. Gators down by 3, 9 seconds.

[Droford]

pretty awesome game

now I need VCU to beat Kansas tomorrow

[Loose Cannon]

imagine if that dude made that one armed hail mary. would of fucking lost it

[owenbrown]

RP is probably going fucking nuts now that Butler is in the Final Four

[mhirn3]

wtf kind of play was that for Florida. you don't need a 3 right away.


Wondered that too.


The shot he took at the end was ill advised too

[RoXer]

They got an enigizer BUNNY

[mhirn3]

I guess Butler is this years Butler lol

[McLegend]

Arizona so much faster then Uconn.

[mhirn3]

Yeah but Kemba is Kemba

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>UConn!!!</font>

[ClockShot]

How The West Was Won (again): Starring the UConn Huskies.

[Droford]

Holy Shit @ VCU up 39-22 with 3 to go in the 1st

[One Eight Sven]

Let's go Rams! I have Kansas going all the way in my bracket but I could not care less right now.

I bet ESPN regrets calling VCU unworthy of being in the tournament based on the last couple of weeks.

Would be crazy if VCU holds on to become the new "George Mason" since GM is from the same conference.

I bet ESPN is used to being wrong by now.

But at any rate it looks like Kansas is finally getting it together and VCU might be done.

[One Eight Sven]

Oh my god this is really happening! Go Rams!

[Emperor Smeat]

VCU pulled off the upset and also guaranteed for 2nd straight year a mid-major team will be in the finals (VCU or Butler).

Kansas missed 13 FTs and about 20 3-pt shots vs VCU.

holy fucking shit I hope Kentucky beats UNC today then they might have a chance to win it all

[One Eight Sven]

I wonder how many Southern Cal fans put "USC/VCU winner" as their national champions and lucked into a Final Four winner.

Virginia > your favorite state

it's GMU or Mason

not "GM"

[Corndad]

Almighty then. So who had VCU/Butler Semi-final? Most unpredictable Tourney ever. Even Ohio State is long gone.

[OssMan]

Last year's tournament was crazier. Would have been the best tournament of all time if some gay ass team like Duke hadn't have won.

[Droford]

UConn/Kentucky should be interesting

When was the last time no 1 seeds made Final Four?

EDIT: Wikipedia is our friend:

At least one #1 seed has made the Final Four in every year except:

1980 – Louisville – #2 (champion), Iowa – #5, Purdue – #6, UCLA – #8
2006 – UCLA – #2, Florida – #3 (champion), LSU – #4, George Mason – #11
2011 – Connecticut – #3, Kentucky – #4, Butler – #8, Virginia Commonwealth – #11

In 2011, the highest seed to advance to the Final Four was #3 seed Connecticut; the only time that neither a #1 seed nor a #2 seed advanced into the final weekend of play. In the same tournament, Butler made history as the first program to make consecutive Final Fours while not being seeded #1 or #2 in either season.

[Emperor Smeat]

2011 will also tie or possibly break lowest seed in title game (#8 Villinova in 1985).

[ClockShot]

Jimmer Fredette took home AP Player of the Year honors while Notre Dame's Mike Brey is AP Coach of the Year.

Last I checked, the season isn't over yet.

This crowd sounds about 75% Butler
