Still shocked at how they ended that game... Louisville is in complete control and then falls apart in the last three minutes...Originally Posted by SmoothPancakes
And my bracket is officially fucked. Thanks a lot Louisville, way to suck ass in the final minutes.
Because God hates me.They just absolutely melted down for no reason, and of course I absolutely needed them to win no matter what. So naturally...
Free throws and rebounding are important.could have been up 20+ in the 1st half and the kitties likely would have folded but they didn't and allowed
to stay in the game and pull it out in the end.
Today's games not on CBS, but instead TBS =
Yeah not sure why they made that call for 2 Elite 8 games.Today's games not on CBS, but instead TBS =
Kentucky still on their run
Been playing some good basketball
"So long and thanks for all the fish." With Michigan State blowing it I am offically out. What a terrible bracket for me this year.
From here I can only really see myself cheering forI can't stand Florida or Kentucky so my choices are pretty limited.
I don't care for the field much either, but I think Wisconsin or Florida will be my rooting interest. Pretty tough when the "underdog" is Kentucky.
No little guys were left after the Sweet 16. I lost any little bit of interest I had then.I don't care for the field much either, but I think Wisconsin or Florida will be my rooting interest. Pretty tough when the "underdog" is Kentucky.
As long as Florida wins at least one more game, I'll win the challenge
The dude abides.
The games were/have been competitive but the "quality" of play/basketball has been POOR. There just aren't any historically even good teams any more and I don't see any in the near future (unless several NBA prospects on one team all decide to stay for several years).
OAD has ruined college basketball and unless/until the NBA changes its requirement to match that of at least the MLB we aren't going to see much improvement in the teams. The tourny will be competitive b/c we have entered an era of mediocrity.
The first couple of days were very enjoyable but I agree that overall the bball has not been great. I have had less interest in the tourney this year than previous years. I really wish that players had to stay at least 2-3 years. That's why I love cheering for the small schools that are stacked with seniors.
Yeah I really hopedmade a run. #1 they play really solid basketball and they play really hard and well together as a team. Unfortunately, their draw was ridiculous and they ran into a Kensucky club that was shooting LIGHTS OUT when they normally aren't a good shooting team. And they still damn near won the game.
College basketball has always been my favorite sport with college football a close 2nd (I haven't watched any NBA/NFL games in 10+ years) and I still find it incredibly entertaining. Yes I'd love to see the top talent stay longer but I don't think one and dones have hurt college basketball.
As always I filled my bracket with my heart (#1 team Michigan winning it all, #2 Michigan State runner up, #1 conference B1G team Wisconsin in the final 4) so I'm pretty screwed now.As long as Florida wins at least one more game, I'll win the challenge
I'm rooting hard for Wisconsin to win it all (again because of my B1G bias) but it would be pretty cool to see Florida beat Wisconsin in the title game (even though I loathe the university of Florida). Florida only has 2 losses this year and both of those teams are in the final 4 (which makes them pretty damned quality losses). If they were to beat Wisconsin in the title game, then Florida would have avenged both of their losses (UConn in the final 4, Wisconsin in the title game) and will have beaten every team that they played, which is pretty damned impressive.
I like the potential for that scenario. I also like the potential to beat Kentucky 4 times in the same year. I don't know which one I like more.
I am rooting for Kentucky since the Harrison twins went to high school five minutes down the street from me, and I would rather that Michigan have lost to the eventual title winner.
Thank you UConn for winning me the TGT bracket pool!
The Kentucky team no one wants to play!!
