NCAA Basketball thread
 
I want to talk about Syracuse going into OT again!

RP 03-14-2009 12:18 AM

we do

Its called " Robbie Hummel is a Golden God and Purdue is YOUR champion "

IC Champion 03-14-2009 12:20 AM

LOL, Purdue.

RP 03-14-2009 01:24 AM

laugh now, it will happen. Purdue will be national champions this year

RatedGSuperstar 03-14-2009 10:09 PM

They'd have a better chance if Robbie Hummel wasn't playing with a BROKEN FREAKIN' NECK (TM Angle).

Selection Sunday should be interesting to say the least. If the 'Cuse can hang on against Louisville, none of the projected #1 seeds will have won their conference tournament. It was looking like Pitt-UConn-Louisville-UNC, but maybe Memphis gets a bet more consideration considering how bad Pitt looked with Blair in foul trouble. I can't really fault UConn for losing in 6 OT's, Louisville at least got to the Big East final, and I doubt they give Duke a #1 over UNC.

By the way, VCU's going to win a tournament game or two again this year. Take it from a guy who goes to a rival CAA school.

BCWWF 03-15-2009 12:38 AM

Mizzou just won the Big 12, finally getting to the tournament the year after I left.

Supreme Olajuwon 03-15-2009 02:02 PM

If Tennessee wins today, it looks like the Atlantic 10 will get more bids than the SEC.

LOL

Supreme Olajuwon 03-15-2009 02:03 PM

Also, Purdue does look pretty good. I don't think they're quite National Championship material, but definitely Elite 8.

The Genius 03-15-2009 11:19 PM

wisconsin vs florida state. i like wisconsin's chances, 12 upsets the 5 regularly in the tournament.

RoXer 03-15-2009 11:43 PM

HOW did Arizona get in?

The Genius 03-16-2009 01:03 AM

key away wins vs kansas, gonzaga? plus they had a 20 year ncaa tournamnet appearance streak didnt they?

in my bracket i have them going over #5 utah but losing in the second round.

SammyG 03-16-2009 02:30 AM

I dunno about them being Utah

I have Wisconsin too

Some of my other sleepers

VCU over UCLA
Western Kentucky over Illinois (although you'll saw what they did last year)
Arizona over Utah
USC over BC

I have Purdue and Marquette in the Sweet 16 and then they run into UCONN and Memphis

I also got Cuse over Oklahoma in the TPWW league. Syracuse are just looking like beasts right now and I love Johnny Flynn

Loose Cannon 03-19-2009 12:05 AM

Cannot wait for tomorrow though. so pumped

Nervous Ferret 03-19-2009 01:21 AM

Wouldn't be surprised if Clemson upset Oklahoma in the second round. They are much better than a 7 seed and I haven't been too impressed with OU all that much. And I hate Blake Griffin and his stupid diving into the crowd getting replayed on ESPN 984t485395843 times when he didn't even make the play. Also would not be surprised to see Clemson get embarrassed by Michigan tomorrow either. HOLLA

D Mac 03-19-2009 03:34 AM

Missouri Tigers

SammyG 03-19-2009 04:12 AM

Louisville NC final

NC Wins

Oliver Purnell cannot coach in the postseason. He couldn't at Dayton and he can't at Clemson.

Clemson seems to always play terrible in these big tourneys. Saying that, I had Michigan upsetting them last night, but changed it to Clemson winning this morning. dunno. tough call

What's the pull of college sports, is it because these guys are going to be the stars of tomorrow, that the games are really good or that you get to support your own state or something?

All three of those. And while the talent level may be lower than the professional leagues, the effort and passion are much, much higher. Collegiate sports are a lot purer than professional sports.

OssMan 03-19-2009 01:01 PM

BYU makes the tournament every year and never does anything.

Loose Cannon 03-19-2009 02:08 PM

LOL Memphis. This is going to fuck up so many brackets if Cal holds on

SammyG 03-19-2009 05:52 PM

I had Cal winning fuck

SammyG 03-19-2009 05:53 PM

oh nvm u are talking about cal state north or whatever. Nah i had memphis there.

Boondock Saint 03-19-2009 05:53 PM

7 for 7 so far.

SammyG 03-19-2009 06:36 PM

Fuck, had Miss.St going over Wash. in an upset.

Got VCU over UCLA too later.

OssMan 03-19-2009 06:38 PM

VCU

Loose Cannon 03-19-2009 07:12 PM

Clemson/Michigan now. the 1st game I'm not so sure about. like I said, Clemson doesn't show up in big tourney's.

SammyG 03-19-2009 07:16 PM

Go Michigan

Nervous Ferret 03-19-2009 08:19 PM

Clemson getting their arses kicked :-\

Supreme Olajuwon 03-19-2009 08:20 PM

BCWWF 03-19-2009 08:48 PM

BCWWF 03-20-2009 09:50 AM

McLegend 03-20-2009 02:08 PM

This Ben Woodside for North Dakota State is pretty good.

Loose Cannon 03-20-2009 11:32 PM

Cleveland State is taking it to Wake right now. Looks like the cinderella team

Loose Cannon 03-21-2009 12:13 AM
