2013 NCAA Tournament Thread

Reggie either needs to do better research or slow down and look at his notes more. He called Arizona "Arizona State" several times the other night (though he wasn't the only one) and I've heard him use similar-but-wrong names for several players.

[JeffHCross]

Sigh.

I would have thought your were crazy if you told me that the only Kansas team left would be Wichita St and now they are a half away from the final four. Somewhere the X-man is smiling.

[JeffHCross]

Good job by Wichita State holding on for the victory. A clutch three when we made it a three-point game. A horrible first half by the Bucks just dug too big a hole.

Hope Florida stocked up on some lube before this game. Goddamn...

I've NEVER seen so many so called "title contenders" just come out and lay absolute EGGS. (the whole damn time they where in the tourny); (against Cuse); (today); etc...

[CLW]

and that injury to the player was the most awful thing i've seen in sports looked like he broke his entire lower leg. prayers

Florida's done it all year. As I've said after virtually every game this year, if there was ever a team that could look like the best team in the country, and then come out a week later and look like the worst, it's Florida. They are all so wildly inconsistent. Unlike most teams when a player is having a bad game, the others step up...when a Florida player is having a bad game, they ALL have bad games. Murphy going 0-10? Young missing point blank shots repeatedly and getting out rebounded by a point guard? Kenny continuing his woeful shooting from the outside? I can't say I'm surprised. They've had a great year, but I'll be honest, I'm glad this season's over with. Watching them has been a huge frustration all year.

I hope Ware is okay and is able to have a speedy recovery. I've seen injuries like that before(in football), and it just as terrible to see every time it happens. His case was particularly odd...it's not like his leg was hit or that he even landed oddly or anything, it looked like his leg just gave out. Poor guy.

[morsdraconis]

That was fuckin' GRUESOME. Good lord that was terrible.

[Deuce]

Ya, those type of injuries are strange. That kid has probably jumped and landed like that a million times. ...wonder why this time ended so badly?

Insert getting whipped like a stepchild.

[SmoothPancakes]

How great would it be to see Louisville rush the court?

[JeffHCross]

So glad I didn't see it.

[bdoughty]

[psusnoop]

Louisville flexed its muscle.

[NatureBoy]

That was beyond nasty. Worse than Lattimore's two knee injuries. Poor guy. I hope he makes a full recovery.

[CLW]

I haven't completely digested the game yet but IMHO right now it felt to me more like was just that much better not laying an egg. Struggled all year with the high ball screens and the Cards have speedy guards and it burned us all game long.

Dare I speak of the Women's Tourney. 5 seed Louisville is putting on a freaking clinic tonight. Hitting three pointers like they were layups. Stopping 6'8 Brittney Griner, held her to no field goals in the first half. Currently 16-23 69.6% shooting threes and they are hitting half of them from a couple feet beyond the line.

Looking at the biggest upset in the Women's tournament history. 16 Harvard beating 1 Stanford back in the 90's was big but Harvard was under-seeded that year and Baylor has lost one game in two years.

[morsdraconis]

Duke lost big in the tourney, all is right in the world of March Madness.

Just kidding CLW, as much as I dislike Duke, it sucks to get embarrassed like they did, but one has to think that the injury fired up the players that much more.

Louisville against Wichita State next should be interesting. Don't really care who wins between Michigan and Syracuse, though it'll be an interesting game. If Michigan can continue the hot shooting streak, we could see the 2-3 Zone work against Syracuse for once.

[JeffHCross]

Go 'Cuse!
