[Loose Cannon]

yea wtf. Losing to a 9th seed in the MAC. are you fucking kidding me

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Got Old Dominion right. :cool: Rarely ever call the upset games correctly.</font>

[Droford]

Georgetown isn't out of it yet..

[Droford]

Northern Iowa wins!

[Loose Cannon]

ugh, I'm collapsing like I always do on these late games.

[Loose Cannon]

woah, maybe not. Washington was down by 15 when I turned it off. AND now by 2

[Loose Cannon]

UP BY 1 :eek:

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Ohio just killed my brackets. Had Georgetown going to the elite 8 in 3 of them.

[Loose Cannon]

god why is CBS going to Wake/Texas. keep Washington/Marquette on

[HeartBreakMan2k]

To screw with us LC... to screw with us :mad:

[Loose Cannon]

COME ON WASHINGTON

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Whooo they cut back with 20 ticks left.

[Loose Cannon]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[HeartBreakMan2k]

HOLY SHIT! What a pretty move.

[Loose Cannon]

I can't watch

[Loose Cannon]

jesus with all these fk'n timeouts.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

No way they get that from the otherside of the court in 1.7...

[Loose Cannon]

yea, I just saw that. that hurts

[Loose Cannon]

phew

[Supreme Olajuwon]

From watching the internet feed from CBS, I pretty much despise Capital One and Coke Zero.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Damn that was close...

[Supreme Olajuwon]

the Ivan brothers

fucking terrible


LOVE CBS SPORTS THOUGH

[Loose Cannon]

Big East almost got shut out today

[Emperor Smeat]

Georgetown was the big shocker from the Big East losers since a lot of experts had them in the Sweet 16 against Ohio State.

Turns out the loss was even worse for them since it created 3 records : Biggest margin of victory for a 14th in a 3v14 game, Worst loss in GTown history as a 3 seed or better, Most points given up by GTown in a tournament game ever

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I had Georgetown in the Elite 8. SHIT

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

From watching the internet feed from CBS, I pretty much despise Capital One and Coke Zero.
Yeah I was watching the feed at work it was getting annoying as hell. Pretty cool though how you can just change between the games (although you gotta watch a 30 second ad every time you do.....)

[Evil Vito]

I had Georgetown in the Elite 8. SHIT

<font color=goldenrod>I thought I had them going to the Elite 8...and I did...then found out I had them upsetting Kansas to get to the Final 4. Guess I felt like picking a major upset since everybody in the world had penciled in Kansas for the Final 4 already. :o

Had Marquette going to the Sweet 16 too. Fuck I wish I actually followed any of these teams.</font>

[Droford]

As a Maryland fan, nothing would delight me more than Lehigh beating Kansas.

Kansas is only up 3 right now with 3 minutes to play in the 1st.

[Nervous Ferret]

Poor Lehigh is playing their little white hearts out and they are still down 6 at the half. :( They will prob tie with like 8 minutes left and then run out of gas and Kansas will win by like 18 :(

[Splaya]

This is like the tourney from hell. I had a chance to do a 25 dollar bracket or a 5 dollar bracket. I chose the 5 dollar bracket because I felt there was a good chance that there was some cinderella's

[Nervous Ferret]

Poor Lehigh :( Sherron Collins & co. are just so much better talent-wise it breaks my heart to even watch :(. Just throwing down that monster dunk how are they possibly supposed to answer to that :(:(:(

[Loose Cannon]

really want to see the Tenn game. hate watching things online though

[Loose Cannon]

just saw one of Fordam's freshmen is the 2nd leading scorer for freshmen in the nation. Fordham won like 2 games this year and put up a goose egg in the A-10.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Ishmael Smith is gross. Closing in on a triple double.

Can't believe Texas used to be #1. They look so sluggish out there.

[Loose Cannon]

close game.

[Loose Cannon]

wow @ the bounce Texas just got

[OssMan]

CBSSports going to SDSU/TENN when Texas just tied Wake!!!!!!

[Droford]

There was a timeout I thought cause they're back

both games are down to the wire good

[Loose Cannon]

that was the worst clock magement ever right there by Texas

[Droford]

If the SDSU guy had made that 3, it would have been epic.

[Loose Cannon]

lol Tennessee fouling on a 3. what the fuck is going on

[Supreme Olajuwon]

quite the boner there by that Wake kid

[Loose Cannon]

these kids need better brains

[Loose Cannon]

James just took like 4 steps. lol

[Droford]

OT in NOLA hmmph

[OssMan]

Oh man

[Supreme Olajuwon]

swear Raftery keeps saying Jism instead of Chism

[Droford]

pft, had SDSU

[Droford]

Texas and WF conspiring to keep people from seeing Montana Basketball

[Droford]

Way too many fn 3 pointers

[Loose Cannon]

haven't even seen a highlite of Montana/NM lol

[OssMan]

swear Raftery keeps saying Jism instead of Chism
Send it in Jerome!

[Droford]

WF dude with the karate chop stop

[Droford]

what the hell was up with that foul on texas

[OssMan]

fuck this game i quit

[Supreme Olajuwon]

CALL ME ISHMAEL

[Splaya]

LOL Wake upsetting Texas. This tournament is so sick

[Droford]

LOL TEXAS

didnt Texas have an 8 point lead with like 2:30 to go?

[Droford]

CBS Hates Montana

or not..

[Splaya]

I love this tournament

[Droford]

The Montana coach looks a bit like Gary Williams

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Droford why do you always need to find a link in the game you're watching and the team you like?

[OssMan]

The real question is where is SammyG right now????

[OssMan]

LOL Montana has the fattest piece of shit white guy I have ever seen play basketball

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Brian "Big Country" Qvale

[Droford]

Droford why do you always need to find a link in the game you're watching and the team you like?

http://filemanager.montanagrizzlies.com/mtgriz3/landing_pages/files/mbasketball/wayne_tinkle_press1.jpg

On second thought, he looks like John O'Hurley

[Supreme Olajuwon]

clearly not what I asked

[Droford]

Im pissed that MD plays at 9:50, the last fn game to tip off out of 32 first round games.

Ive gotta be up at 4 am on Saturday.

[OssMan]

Im pissed that MD plays at 9:50, the last fn game to tip off out of 32 first round games.

Ive gotta be up at 4 am on Saturday.
Something to do on a Friday night for once

[SammyG]

God Damn, what a game. Fucking idiot Will Cherry at the end, no reason to push that ball up. AJ let all the pressure get to him, choked on the big stage. Fucking sucked. Oh well.

Went 9-16 in my predictions, awful. Fuck Texas, btw.

[SammyG]

LOL Montana has the fattest piece of shit white guy I have ever seen play basketball
He is honestly one of the nicest people on that team. Great dude. Huge, too.

[Droford]

On the Sobe bracket thing, I had 12/16 so I beat Kendra Wilkinson (11), Kenny Smith (8) and Brooklyn Decker (9) after day 1. #4570 overall. Yeah!

im also #1 in the group on Yahoo RP started for TPWW.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Northern Iowa actually matches up pretty well against Kansas for the most part. They should be able to keep Aldrich in check. They're not going to win obviously but it should be a pretty good game.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I am "stoked" for the following games today:

Purdue vs. Siena
Xavier vs. Minnesota
California vs. Louisville

also I didn't pick it but have a funny feeling Wofford might beat Wisconsin

[Ermaximus]

With the way things have gone so far Supreme, that's highly likely. Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Georgetown, Marquette all got bounced yesterday, so these schools playing today should learn from this. DON'T underestimate these little schools.

[OssMan]

George Mason Forever

[Innovator]

CBSSports.com + Bill Simmons running diary = Inno doesn't get shit done all day

[Ermaximus]

Damnit. Cornell, why did I pick you and then change my mind? I'm 1-3 so far today. Minnesota let me down.

[Droford]

Had cornell! Also, I am stoked for the Wofford game!

[Droford]

One of the reasons I took Wofford over Wisconsin is because Spartanburg SC isn't that far from Jacksonville, and its definitely a home crowd for the Terriers.

[Nervous Ferret]

yeahhh clemson. Only took 2 minutes and 15 seconds to blow their first 9 point lead. Still plenty of time for them to go ona 7 minute scoreless streak

[Droford]

I think the Oakland dude bladed

[RP]

Chris Kramer:love::heart::love::heart::love::heart::love::heart:

[Droford]

Don't hassle the Woff!

err..ugh

[Droford]

lol @ Purdue

[Nervous Ferret]

yeahhh clemson. Only took 2 minutes and 15 seconds to blow their first 9 point lead. Still plenty of time for them to go ona 7 minute scoreless streak
:roll:

[Loose Cannon]

ugh Sienna, what are you doing to me

[Loose Cannon]

dude, Clemson goes on these 2nd half droughts every year

[Droford]

Not sure if this is needed right now, but bookmark it and save it for later:

http://www.gusjohnsongetsbuckets.com/

[Droford]

Someone should do a Gus Johnson porno commentary..I mean..

"Working hard..tip in..penatrating..got it up and in..here comes the pain..stuff it back in...lets it go..oooooooh! what a comeback!..thats the guy that should shoot it!"

Im never gonna be able to listen to Gus Johnson again..

[Loose Cannon]

how did Duke draw this shitty team. this game was a blowout right when tipoff occured

[Emperor Smeat]

Committee likes to favor UNC/Duke in the opening games more than they should. I think UNC averages well over 100 points when they get a #1 seed in the 1st game.

No reason why they never give the top #1 seed the lowest 16th seed possible (or 65th team if the 65 wins the 64/65 match).

[Emperor Smeat]

Crazy booing to end the Michigan State-New Mexico State game.

Questionable lane violation called by the refs and crowd/NM St coach went apeshit in booing.

[OssMan]

Wait Maryland is tipping off at 10:30? wtf

[Nervous Ferret]

It just doesn't seem fair that Syracuse is playing in Buffalo. I know they aren't THAT close but still. This is like a home game for Syracuse :(

[Loose Cannon]

Scoop Jardine is fucking off his mind right now

[Loose Cannon]

out of control city!!!

[Innovator]

How dare CBS not give Gus Johnson a nail biter to call, cmon we need a Gusgasm

[Loose Cannon]

wtf Louisville. you were suppossed to knock out Duke :mad:

[OssMan]

COME ON Mt. St. Mary's. Bank's open on Sunday

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Nova :( Just fucking my bracket.

[RP]

wow scottie reynolds, you're horrible

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>This tournament is ridiculous.</font>

[RP]

Big East huh ? You can have them.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I had Georgetown in the elite 8 and Nova in the finals. Gonna need a couple of absolute miracles to salvage ANYTHING out of this.

[Loose Cannon]

I had Nova losing to Richmond in the 2nd round, so it's not all that bad. wish I had paid attention to ST. Mary's at all this year. Nova sucked it up at the end of the year, so I didn't have them going far.

[RP]

Come on Butler, knock your shots down. They should be winning this by 15 points right now.

[OssMan]

Final Four still intact here

[Loose Cannon]

AND 1 BABY!!! Come on Butler. fucking ice this

[Loose Cannon]

I do love the Murray State Racers though....

[Loose Cannon]

oh god thi white dude looks awfully clumsy

[Loose Cannon]

got 1

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Wow...didn't even take a shot with about 15 seconds to go.</font>

[RP]

HAYWARD!!!!!!

[Loose Cannon]

ugh, what a heartbreaker for the Racers. great defense though. you rarely see that to end it

[Loose Cannon]

Ohio came back to earth and is playing like a 9th seed in thier conferance now

[SammyG]

retard ball carrier for murray state

[Loose Cannon]

lol The Tennesse Thugs are back in action. Price and Chism are battle rapping

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I have no idea how I'm not dead last in the TPWW pool.</font>

[RP]

wtf Kansas

[Crimson]

Love this Huskie team, they're exciting to watch. Running New mexico out of the building so far

[Loose Cannon]

Kansas is making me nervous. how about Washington though :) .

[Loose Cannon]

what the hell is this? bunch of farm boys and an Iranian beaitng up on Kansas

[OssMan]

fuck lomers!!!!!!!!!!

[Loose Cannon]

not good

[McLegend]

Kansas is starting to come on though.

[Loose Cannon]

fucking come on

[Droford]

Rooting against Kansas since I had MD beating them in the Sweet 16 anyway.

[RP]

Kansas is about to rape everyones brackets

[Droford]

He wasn't even close to being OB..lol

terrible call

the refs are going to bail Kansas and everyone with Kansas out

[RP]

yes he was douche

[RP]

this is about to be a buzzer beater by someone.

[RP]

that 3 was so cold blooded

[Droford]

adios jayhawks

[McLegend]

That was awesome.

[RP]

10 million brackets just got tore up

[Droford]

Maryland just needs to beat the Spartans tomorrow..yeah

[RP]

i have duke vs kansas in the finals with duke winning

[Crimson]

The Iowa farmboys get it done. Damn nobody saw that one coming..I love march madness

[Droford]

10 million brackets just got tore up

Cept for mine..Had the Terps beating Kansas in the Sweet 16 so as long as the Terps hold up their end mine great. Have the Terps winning the Championship too lol so Id say Im doing pretty swell.

Did lose one of my final 4's in Villanova though..ugh

[RP]

accept for the fact that maryland wont beat MSU

[McLegend]

I love that Ali Farokhmanesh :heart:

[OssMan]

lol like the top 5 people in the TPWW bracket had Kansas winning. I called them losing in the second round

[Savio]

My bracket has been busted

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Don't feel so bad about having Georgetown in the Final 4 now cause I had assumed Kansas would have gotten in otherwise.</font> :cool:

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Watching this tourney makes me wish the NBA playoffs would just be tourney style. Fuck revenue and ensuring the best team usually wins...I want flukes and upsets dammit!</font>

[Loose Cannon]

fuck college basketball and this whole fucking piece of shit thing. fuck em all.

[Loose Cannon]

nah, I love college basketball

[Loose Cannon]

BUT FUCK YOU SHERRON COLLINS. MAYBE HIT A FUCKING SHOT ONE TIME

[Emperor Smeat]

Ugly defense by Kansas on that last shot for NIU. No clue what the defender was thinking giving the guy that much space, then running away to give him more time for a shot.

[Droford]

accept for the fact that maryland wont beat MSU
Im not saying Maryland is going to blow them out, its going to be a close game, but Maryland should win.

[Loose Cannon]

BYU looks exactly like Nothern Iowa

[Loose Cannon]

is this the same team.

[ClockShot]

So is Kentucky the front runner for the championship?

Or will the conspiracy theory be proven and Duke wins. Like I've been hearing on ESPN since selection sunday.

[Nervous Ferret]

So Nova and Kansas lose... Kentucky and K State down early. Could my ENTIRE Final 4 (And Obama's...) all be eliminated in an 8 hour span??? :eek:

[Droford]

So Nova and Kansas lose... Kentucky and K State down early. Could my ENTIRE Final 4 (And Obama's...) all be eliminated in an 8 hour span??? :eek:

LOL..that would be awesome

Also, if BYU advances to the Sweet 16, they'll basically be playing at home in Salt Lake City so..

[Droford]

BYU just got robbed of 2 points.

[OssMan]

Nah

[Nervous Ferret]

"Oh my god the favorite to win the tournament lost and now I have lost $5 and won't win my stupid office pool that was going to be won by some guy's daughter anyway"

Fuck all of you, that was a great game with a good ending a surprise winner. Northern Iowa for life, etc

[OssMan]

Northern Iowa is led by Skinhead and Neckbeard from Mother 3

[DAMN iNATOR]

Im not saying Maryland is going to blow them out, its going to be a close game, but Maryland should win.

48-39 MSU at the half, but I don't have a good feeling at all about Kalin Lucas returning. :(

[D Mac]

Go Missouri!

[Droford]

Game has gone totally the complete opposite of what I figured..oops

[DAMN iNATOR]

So proud of my Spartans right now. Hope they finish this one off.

[Droford]

MSU has 15 TOs and is still winning by 12..ugh

[OssMan]

noooo

[DAMN iNATOR]

Gettin' closer now, 78-71...still an eternity left though too.

[Droford]

YEAH comeback!

[OssMan]

HOLY SHIT

UMD UMD UMD

[Droford]

OH YEAH! WHOOOOOOO! 80-79, cut the 15 point lead down to 1!

8 points in 34 seconds..this is shades of that Duke/MD game where Duke came back late to beat MD after they were up like 10 or so...

[D Mac]

Mizzou trying to fight back but it's probably too late. :(

[Droford]

I cant breathe right now lol

81-80 MD!

[DAMN iNATOR]

FUCK...C'MON STATE GET YOUR HEADS BACK IN THE GAME!!!! :mad:

[Droford]

OH DAMNIT

[OssMan]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[RP]

HOLY SHIT

[DAMN iNATOR]

LOL, C'mon you're not seriously telling me MD's theme is the TMNT theme...

[DAMN iNATOR]

HOLY FUCK! I think my heart skipped a beat there...

[D Mac]

LOL #12 Cornell simply demolished #4 Wisconsin.

[OssMan]

Let's go Xavier

[Loose Cannon]

LOL #12 Cornell simply demolished #4 Wisconsin.

Cornell's a much better team then a 12 seed.

[Innovator]

Scared to look at my bracket

[RP]

i guess ice cold purdue decided to show up

[RP]

nice. the refs did a nice job taking Purdues two best chances of winning this game out.

This game is probably over.

[RP]

I like a Moore is just throwing shit up and hoping it sticks. Good sound basketball there Purdue.

[RP]

The rim on purdue's side is loose. incredibly loose and i bet they fix it in the 2nd half when AM is shooting on it.

[RP]

If anyone is watching this purdue game, listen to the difference of the rims on both sides. Purdues rim sounds like its about to fall off. The fix is in.

[Emperor Smeat]

Scared to look at my bracket

I haven't bothered to check my main bracket once Georgetown lost (Elite 8 vs Kansas)

[Loose Cannon]

I get to watch boring ass Duke and California

[DAMN iNATOR]

Cornell's pretty much this year's Davidson, whatever year it was when they went to like the Elite 8 or something ridiculous.

[OssMan]

Let's go CAL

[OssMan]

Cornell's pretty much this year's Davidson, whatever year it was when they went to like the Elite 8 or something ridiculous.
I remember seeing the game they lost on Opening Day at Nationals Park or something. weird

[OssMan]

Purdue comin back here

[RP]

FUCK YAH FIGHT PURDUE FIGHT!

[OssMan]

I never understand why when a guy goes to the free throw line down by 3 with like 20 seconds to go, he makes the first one and then tries to make the second one. If you make them both then the other team gets the ball and you have to foul again and hope that they miss, which is risky. On the other hand, you could purposely miss the second free throw and try to get the rebound, then you can get another 2 pointer. Feel like so teams could have won because of this.

[Loose Cannon]

I fucking loved that Davidson team and especially Steph Curry :love:

[OssMan]

omg pittsburgh keeps knocking down threes. and they got the ball back nooo

[OssMan]

Xavier!

[OssMan]

what is this

[OssMan]

OMG CBSSportsline player stopping every 2 seconds COME ON

[OssMan]

I was just like wow

[Loose Cannon]

fuckin awesome tourney so far. Robbie Hummel needs to go bionic or something so he can play vs Duke

[Loose Cannon]

oh great, just realized my sister in law's wedding is 2:00 April 3rd. No way

[OssMan]

That's why you need to get a FLO™ Personal Television.

[SammyG]

Worst March Madness year for brackets ever.

[OssMan]

This tournament has been everything last year's suckfest wasn't

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I never understand why when a guy goes to the free throw line down by 3 with like 20 seconds to go, he makes the first one and then tries to make the second one. If you make them both then the other team gets the ball and you have to foul again and hope that they miss, which is risky. On the other hand, you could purposely miss the second free throw and try to get the rebound, then you can get another 2 pointer. Feel like so teams could have won because of this.You want to extend the game in that situation. If you miss on purpose then don't get the rebound, foul then they go down and hit 2 free throws the game is pretty much over since you are now down 4 points. If you make both, foul, then they make both at least you are still giving yourself a chance only going down 3. Getting a rebound off a missed free throw is pretty tough and missing a free throw on purpose can sometimes be harder than it sounds. I've never been a fan of missing it on purpose (unless you absolutely have to obviously).

[DAMN iNATOR]

*SIGH* Kalin Lucas is out for the rest of the season after that injury in yesterday's game. :wavesad: People are gonna have to really step it up for Michigan State if we're to even make it to the Elite 8, let alone the Final 4 this year. I mean granted they've got some great talent like Korie Lucious, Draymond Green, Delvon Roe and several others, but as the commentators mentioned no real breakout leader this season, even though Lucas was seen by many as the top Big 10 player this season.

Time will tell what will happen, but if Northern Iowa can topple Kansas, not just A #1 seed, but the top OVERALL #1 in this year's tourney, that scares the fuck out of me leading up to this weekend's showdown with them.

[RP]

Lucas was seen by no one as the top Big 10 player this year btw.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Yeah what, Evan Turner is in a class by himself this season. And the only reason it's not debatable is because Hummel got injured. Maybe Lucas is 3rd best but that's it.

[RP]

Yah i was gunna say, if Hummel had not gotten injured, it would be Turner, Hummel and then maybe Lucas, but i actually thought Demitri McCeamy was a bette PG in the Big 10

[Emperor Smeat]

Might only be the NIT but I'm happy for Rhode Island (URI) tough win against Virginia Tech today. Down by 10 with 12 minutes to go and they stepped up while VTech got sloppy.

1st time in NIT semifinal since 1946. Its soo far back that ESPN only has 1 photo of the semi-final game dealing with URI in 1946.

[Nervous Ferret]

The first part of this post is hilarious

But "the fuck" is scared out of? What if Kansas had crushed Northen Iowa by 30? Would you be more scared of facing that Kansas team or this Northern Iowa one? It's all relative, man

[Savio]

:(

[McLegend]

Cornell doesn't stand a chance.

[Innovator]

Cornell needs the rainmaker

[OssMan]

Let's go XAVIER and Cornell

No, EVERYONE wants it.

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Boooooooooo</font> :(

[Crimson]

Damnit..what a game. I wanted Xavier to win. Who needs a favorite team with games like this

[Emperor Smeat]

Xavier is like Gonzaga was for years. A team that is a Sweet 16 caliber team but either missing something to make a deeper run for a Final 4 or always has some moment go against them at the worst time possible.

Crazy though since Xavier is always talented and yet they can never break the glass ceiling to elite or title status team.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Fuck...if we beat Northern Iowa and Tennessee falls, it'll be Michigan State v. Ohio State in the Midwest Regional Final (the 'Elite 8' round)...crazy. It's pretty rare to have a intra-conference match-up in the NCAA's at all, but not unheard of. However, we shall see what each team does tomorrow.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Xavier is like Gonzaga was for years. A team that is a Sweet 16 caliber team but either missing something to make a deeper run for a Final 4 or always has some moment go against them at the worst time possible.

Crazy though since Xavier is always talented and yet they can never break the glass ceiling to elite or title status team.

Guess we could all hope that #10 St. Mary's (Ca.) can pull off an upset over #3 Baylor...besides #9 N. Iowa, they're about the only ones left with any sort of 'Cinderella' hopes, as all the rest are like #1-#5 seeds.

I was amazed and somehow quite happy to see #5 Butler knock off #1 Syracuse though. The CBS announcers have been practically pissing themselves over the fact that they might go to the Final 4 in Indianapolis, Butler's hometown. :lol:

[Supreme Olajuwon]

(the 'Elite 8' round)

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

fucking love Gus Johnson. best announcer everYes

I wonder if Obama's health care covers how sick Jordan Crawford islol

Does anyone really want Xavier/Butler for the right to the final 4?
Why not? It's not like Kansas State is some well known traditionally strong basketball power or something (like that other team from Kansas). Any match-up is going to be exciting anyway, it's the freaking Elite 8!!!!!!!!

I picked Butler over Syracuse in my bracket, too bad that's about the only thing I correctly predicted. West Virgina is my only final 4 team left

[RP]

BUTLER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Loose Cannon]

Gus Johnson

Just have Gus Johnson on standby for every game and bring him in whenever it's close.

[Skippord]

Damn this Baylor/St Mary's game is close

[RP]

omar Samhan in the greatest college player that ever lived

[RP]

Evan Turner will tie this game and send it into overtime. Guaranteed.

[RP]

Holy shit where was the fucking foul???? Cleanly blocked what???? Turner was clobbered there!

[RP]

ok maybe not
