[mrslackalack]

I am so happy Duke got beat.

[Joey Slugs]

Nobody can have the perfect brackett anywhere. It is impossible

The odds of filling out a perfect bracket -- correctly predicting the outcome of all 63 games -- is approximately 9.22 quintillion to one.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol Imagine if you guessed the whole bracket right but then had the play in game wrong. That'd be awesome

[MVP]

well.... there goes my fucking bracket.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I'm still doing pretty well except I had GW in the elite 8 instead of LSU. I had Duke out in the second I think they had a real lucky season this year so I didnt think they were as strong as their record would indicate.

[RP]

What a finish

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

http://images.sportsline.com/u/photos/basketball/college/img9331761.jpg
lol yes

[The Miz]

Redick does absolutely nothing in a big game? You're kidding

[The Miz]

Holy shit what a chokejob by Gonzaga

[loopydate]

That UCLA/Gonzaga game had a phenomenal ending. Gonzaga choked big-time, though.

I'm happy, 'cause I have UCLA in my Final Four. I had Duke, too, but I'm always happy when Duke loses. :D

My Atlanta bracket is fucked, 'cause I had Duke vs. West Virginia. The other three brackets, my Final Four team is still around, but my predicted Elite Eight team is gone ('Nova over Ohio State, Connecticut over Michigan State, UCLA over Kansas). Stupid Big Ten off year...

[The Miz]

Duke was the most obvious #1 that wasn't going to make the Final Four, its hard to when their star player doesn't know how to play in important games

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Gonzaga damn..I had them in the final 4 :( Oh well, that was a crazy ending. Kinda wish Batista hit that shot at the end - woulda been an even better ending. I am sure we would still get that Laettner shot cramed down our throats though instead of this new one (if it happened haha)

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Morrison was balling before they even lost. Does diabetes make you a pussy or something

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol Darell Mitchell (LSU's starting pointguard) beat Duke rocking FAKE Jordans that's awesome (I guess he does it all the time, just found this out on some "sneakeraddict" messageboard)

http://p093.ezboard.com/fniketalkfrm7.showMessage?topicID=128574.topic

[Joey Slugs]

UCLA! TEXAS? Come on FLORIDA!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

wow the people on that message board are douches

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol yeah they are like "Sneaker geeks" or some shit. I go post in the sports forum there tho cuz its full of black people, different perspective on things then a bunch of white dudes.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Look at that loser! He has fake Jordans on!

He's rockin fake Jordans in the Elite 8 so I don't think he's too worried about it

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I don't really see the big deal about him wearing them either, only "sneakerheads" like those dudes are gonna notice anyways. I figured "fake" sneakers wouldn't hold up as good as the real thing when playing in a game or whatever though..guess not.

I don't get why he just doesn't get legit Jordans for free though, that's what I'd do haha

[Loose Cannon]

UCLA :love:

Saved my ass.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Huggins is going to Kansas State. I can't think of a single reason why that's a good idea except maybe so he can challenge Eddy Sutton as the best drunk coach.

[The Miz]

lol the ESPN SportsNation Poll asks "What player who played yesterday will make the best NBA player (Adam Morrison, Glen Davis, J.J. Redick, or LaMarcus Aldridge). Each player dominated their state; Morrison 62% in Washington, Davis 61% in Louisiana, Aldridge 59% in Texas but Poetry Boy only got 13% in North Carolina. I seriously think everyone hates him except Duke fans/players, ESPN analysts, and The Outlaw.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Huggins is going to Kansas State. I can't think of a single reason why that's a good idea except maybe so he can challenge Eddy Sutton as the best drunk coach.
OJ Mayo (top HS prospect for years) and Bill Walker (another top prospect) already said they were going wherever Huggins was going. So crappy team, big conference and he knows he is getting those guys, probably thinks he'll be able to "prove" that is a great coach if he wins with KState

lol

I am the biggest Duke hater ever I think now, I didn't think it could much worse then Jason Williams and Shane Battier at the sametime but now we are gonna have to live with Greg Paulus (hey did you know he was a top rated QB too? I haven't heard it..) and Josh McRoberts for the next 3 years. Redick wasn't even that bad honestly, he just gets a lot of shit because of what other people say about him. Paulus is the next Steve Wojohowski though, aka the most annoying basketball player ever.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Yeah Mayo and Walker's high school is down the street from where I went and so they play each other. Walker throws down some nasty dunks from time to time and Mayo is unbelievable. There's a third guy on that team that is really good too and he might go with them.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yea OJ Mayo is on that same LeBron James shit, was in magazines when he was in like 7th grade

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Cincy's President is the dumbest bitch on earth. She fired Huggins so she could put her name on the program and because of it they have no recruiting class coming in next year and they lost two great recruits for the following year.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol damn the person in first out of everyone on Facebook had George Mason and Witcha St playing in the sweet 16

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I was 1st at my school after day 2 but now I'm like 40th or something. :(

[BCWWF]

I can see why there is so much anamosity for Duke. Look at ESPN.com last night, and instead of showing LSU after a huge win, they showed Duke. Come on, this is a huge night for LSU, Redick and Williams will get their credit elsewhere.

[The Miz]

To be fair Adam Morrison made alot more headlines than Arron Afflalo or Jordan Farmar

[mrslackalack]

Cant believe Gonzaga blew that game.

[The Miz]

God dammit BC. Now my bracket is completely fucked

[BCWWF]

The Miz, don't you go to Washington? How come you haven't been bragging since like February of last season?

[Loose Cannon]

WOOOOOOOOO UCONN. What a shot.

Overtime

[BCWWF]

Damn, go Huskies

[BCWWF]

AHH! It should be tied! DAMNIT

[The Miz]

UN FUCKING BELIEVEABLE. FUCK EVERY OFFICIAL IN THAT GAME

[BCWWF]

Seattle keeps getting the short end on officiating this year

[The Miz]

The following people can suck my dick

1. The officials, several times over
2. Mike Jensen
3. Rashad Anderson
4. Nate Robinson (we need him :mad: )

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Missed the BC game because I was actually at the BC hockey game (kinda random, but I got free tickets so whatever) but I heard it came down to a goaltending call..pretty weak. Plus all my friends who were calling me giving me updates where saying the officials where making awful calls, I dunno if that's true or what though, they were all pretty drunk.

[BCWWF]

It was in Minneapolis

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

..so? lol

Wasnt as bad as the Washington/Uconn game thats for sure

[RP]

That non-goaltend call. I was like wow wtf.

[OssMan]

Mike Jensen

[RP]

OMFG TEXAS/LSU right now. In the last minute. That sequence was fucking nuts.32.6 seconds to go tie game.

[RP]

LSU is coming to Indianapolis. I'll be locking my doors.

[mrslackalack]

UCONN has gotten several major breaks from the refs in their tourney games against UK and Washington.

[Nervous Ferret]

UCLA/Memphis has been the worst played game of the tournament. UCLA is 13/29 on free throws.

There have been I think 15 TOs in the 2nd half, and like 6 field goals.

[Nervous Ferret]

Memphis is 2/21 on shots outside the paint.

[Loose Cannon]

UCLA BABY. :cool:

2 more to go

[The Miz]

Wow. If I didn't know better I would've thought UCLA/Memphis was a middle school game

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I didn't think UCLA was really a legit #2 seed...Guess I was wrong

[The Miz]

I dunno, they've played like complete ass almost every game with the exception of like 3 minutes vs. Gonzaga

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Well Memphis played sloppy but UCLA's defense was pretty good. Playing like complete ass or not, they beat the #3 seed then the #1 seed, it's not like they beat George Mason or something.

[Crimson]

Yea both UCLA and Memphis didn't play up to their status...and they will have trouble against FatBaby and Thomas? I think his name is that crazy shotblocker. Deny them the ball like crazy, and they better practice their fuckin freethrows, it almost cost them .

Tomorow I expect Uconn to runaway against Mason, and Villanova to get by Florida.

[The Miz]

When UCLA's guards don't play well they can't get anything done on offense. Farmar played terrible today and thats why they looked so out of sync. If Farmar and Afflalo play well they could win the whole thing

[RP]

One thing i've really seen in this tournament that i never noticed once in the regular season for whatever reason, is how good Florida is. I wouldnt be shocked if they beat Nova by 7 points.

[RP]

Marcus Williams is a killer

[Supreme Olajuwon]

This is not happening.

[RP]

Until that turnover

[Loose Cannon]

lol wtf

[RP]

George Mason is seriously about to go to the Final Four

[RP]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

[The Miz]

NO FUCK SFGHSKFGJDETGHKFDK

[RP]

DENIM BROWN!

[RoXer]

WOW

[Loose Cannon]

OMG WHAT

[Supreme Olajuwon]

How you gonna give up a last second layup to a guy named after a jean jacket

[RP]

UNBELIEVABLE

[RP]

George Mason was so close.

[RP]

Best Tourney Ever

[RP]

worst jump ball call ever

[RP]

If UCONN somehow ties this with 7.1 remaining....

[Corndad]

Id laugh so hard if GM beats Uconn here... everyone in my pool had Uconn and Duke in the finals. Hows that working out lol

[RP]

GEORGE MASON!

[Loose Cannon]

wow!

[The Miz]

HAHAHAHA SUCK MY COCK UCONN YOU FUCKING LOSERS. Justice prevails

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I'm gonna go watch Hoosiers now

[Triple A]

Nuts

[Loose Cannon]

how can you not pull for these guys now unless you're a fan of the other 3

[The Miz]

Q: What do you call a team that got outplayed in every single game they played in the 2006 NCAA Tournament?

[The Miz]

A: The University of Connecticut

[OssMan]

RTJELREJGGR GEORGE MASON

[The Miz]

At least Josh Boone has a modeling and/or television career to fall back on if the basketball career doesn't work out

[McLegend]

I want George Mason to win it all now

[OssMan]

I am so proud to live in Fairfax right now

[The Icon of Elisim]

how can you not pull for these guys now unless you're a fan of the other 3

Furthermore, how can you not cheer for a team called the Shockers?

[The Icon of Elisim]

WTF I could've sworn that George Mason was the Shockers

GO WICHITA STATE!!!!!

[OssMan]

ahaha they are setting off fireworks at george mason and i can hear them :o

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

GM making it is cool - I had UConn winning it all but I honestly care about my bracket anymore haha

I'm still kinda mad about BC though :( That was the best team Boston College ever had.

[Loose Cannon]

My favorite team name this tourney were the Racers

[mrslackalack]

The Miz is right UCONN got outplayed every game in the tourney. If they hadnt made the comebacks on Albany and Washington and if UK had a couple more minutes as they outplayed UCONN in the 2nd Half. UCONN's luck had to run out at some point.

[Shadow]

I am so proud to live in Fairfax right now

Me and you both AssMan.

[Joey Slugs]

as long as LSU beats UCLA, I win the TPWW bracket pool

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Well Memphis played sloppy but UCLA's defense was pretty good. Playing like complete ass or not, they beat the #3 seed then the #1 seed, it's not like they beat George Mason or something.
lol

Probably would have been more impressive if they beat George Mason at this point

[BCWWF]

My final four was Memphis over Duke and Ohio State over Tennessee/UConn (differnet brackets).

I would love to see Mason get to the finals, I don't know if they will win it though. UConn was bound to lose, and although I never really cheered for Washingotn this year, they should have won and were so close, it sucked. Mason was just sooooo efficient in overtime.

I see Mason and LSU in the finals.

[mrslackalack]

wow Kelvin Sampsons the new head coach at Indiana!

[BCWWF]

See I don't think Sampson is that great, to be honest. He seems like a choke to me, but I dunno.

[BCWWF]

Mike Anderson on the other hand, now there's a winner. The Big 12 is going to be so bad next year. Kansas will run away with it, then Texas and Kansas State will be tournament bound, but the rest is completely up for grabs.

Oklahoma loses Taj Gray and Bookout, as well as their coach.
Oklahoma State looked like it severely lacked talent when I saw them at the Big 12 Tournament, and still a relatively new coach
Texas Tech could go either way, I'd expect it to be around 500, but I don't know what their recruiting class is like
Nebraska is Nebraska
Colorado had a chance at making the Tournament this year, but saying goodbye to Richard Roby says goodbye to any credibility
Iowa State got the new head coach but lost Stinson and Blalock (ie their whole team)
A&M should still be solid, but I don't expect them to be great or anything
Baylor still has a few years before it can look for credibility
Mizzou was awful last year, but has players and a new coach and real good recruits

I expect it to finish something like this

Kansas
Texas
Kansas State
Texas A&M
Texas Tech
Oklahoma
Missouri
Oklahoma State
Iowa State
Nebraska
Colorado
Baylor

[loopydate]

GM making it is cool - I had UConn winning it all but I honestly care about my bracket anymore haha

Ditto. I had UConn beating Duke, with 'Nova and UCLA losing in the Final Four. One out of four ain't bad, I guess.

How odd would Florida vs. LSU for the National Championship be, since this was supposedly an "off year" for the SEC?

I'm thinking UCLA over Florida, but it would be great to see GMU pull it off.

[mrslackalack]

Sampson although having many 20 win seasons has choked. While he has a final four appearence in 02. He has gone out in the first or second round except for three times. 00 (sweet 16) 02 (final four) and 03 (Elite Eight)

[BCWWF]

I believe he has been to the tournament 11 times as well

[BCWWF]

Also, people are freaking out like he won't be accepted, but I think he will be just fine in Indiana. He just clearly isn't Bobby Knight is all.

[mrslackalack]

Hanborugh is returning for his soph yr at UNC.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Having 2 SEC teams in the final 4 doesn't mean that the SEC didn't have an off year though. If a team gets hot at the right time it can make up for a lackluster season. There is no ACC teams in the final 4 but a team from the Colonial Athletic Association made it, does that mean the CAA is better?

[loopydate]

Not in the slightest. If I recall correctly, I never made the claim that the SEC is the strongest conference in the country because of their two Final Four teams. I made no qualitative statement that the remaining conferences are superior to those who are not.

I was merely pointing out that I thought it was interesting that the SEC was considered "weak" this year, but they make up half of the teams playing this weekend.

[mrslackalack]

Yes it was very true that the SEC was considered weak this year. 90 of 100 SEC panelists had picked UK to win it all in the SEC and the other 10 picked Bama. Possible SEC teams making the tourney preseason included Vandy, So Car, and LSU. Some felt Florida was an NIT team at best and Tennesee was projected to have a losing season. But both UK and Bama struggled and Florida and Tennesee shined this year while Vandy and So. Car didnt live to their expectations. It looked like LSU wouldnt be great after a slow start but their big win at WV and great performances in their losses at UCONN and Ohio St made them look like they could play with any team in the country.

[McLegend]

Now with George Mason losing I could care less about the Finals on Monday.

[RoXer]

Like 80% of these cheerleaders are amazingly good looking.

[BCWWF]

Lol @ ESPN's teams both losing.

[Loose Cannon]

UCLA :cool:

[OssMan]

NC State fired Herb Sendek :wavesad:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

UCLA's D is sick, shut down their oppopent again.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I think Joakim Noah unseats Charlie Villanueva as the ugliest person to win a national title.

http://www.nba.com/media/cvillanueva_050810_fm_400.jpg

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol def, I feel bad for Villanueva becuase if he didn't have that hair diease he would look normal. Well I don't really feel bad for him since he makes millons of dollars to play a game, but you know.

[BCWWF]

Villanueva was hilarious on UConn that year, with the socks and stuff.

[OssMan]

My friend has that hair disease, it is the best because he has no pubes:o

[BCWWF]

Did you feel his balls? Are they smooth, or did he just pee on you?
