NCAA Tournament Thread - Round 2

[Andy]

Looks like Dr. Jekyll Patrick Sparks showed up today. :x

[Andy]

Here's one no one saw coming:

 

George Mason leads UNC by 2 with 1:16 to go :shock:

[BWcubs21]

Down Goes UNC!!!! To George Mason of all teams, I love it :D

 

65-60

[Andy]

Hahaha wow. UNC already would've lost to Murray St if they hadn't had their leading scorer break a bone in the first half then they lose to George Mason. What a kerplunk way for the champs to leave.

 

UConn's only up 3. Come on Huskies!!!!

If kentucky wins this I think I maybe physically sick.

This refs have been completely one-sided.

[Chris]

Go Memphis!

[Chris]

George Mason vs Wichita State will be a classic

[Andy]

If UConn does end up winning this, and Nova and OSU win later, I will somehow still be in good shape despite the fact that I'm 1-2 today with my first Elite 8 team down in UNC.

[Coach C]

George Mason vs Wichita State will be a classic

 

Indeed.

 

GM beated WSU earlier during the season at Wichita. So WSU is thinking payback right now. And how sweet would it be for the Shockers to do it during the NCAA Tournament?

[Derwood]

And.....my Elite 8 teams start going down in flames. UNC and Bucknell (granted a long shot). At least my Final 4 is still intact

[UK1679666180]

Meh, UK played their asses off.

 

I've been so critcal of Sparks, it's good to see him go off on a good note.

[Andy]

Whew. Clutch FT's by Williams and Gay clinch it. With only Washington and then Mason/Wichita left in the region, I'm not worried about UConn as long as they show up.

 

Now, if WV wins I'll still have all my Final 4 intact going into the Nova game.

NW St. cut the lead from 25 to 8 :shock:

if illinois loses i may go insane from sheer joy... oh wait, they did. yay!

 

i always liked sparks. i guess it was from watching him play in the state tournament in high school. time to start thinking about next year. i hope rondo stays :x

[Transmogrified Tiger]

NW St made a run, but it doesn't look like it's going to be enough.

I think he will. I don't think we'll see Morris doing anything dumb anymore.

 

They'll be counting on Morris and Crawford to progress.

[Andy]

Northwestern State - You just got Pittsnogled.

 

Ohio State, Nova and (hopefully to screw up more brackets) NC State to come.

with O$U getting schooled early

[NCCubFan]

I hope one day I get to see Ball State do this.

Any talk yet about who the new Ball State coach might be?

George Mason vs Wichita State will be a classic

Reminds me of the Valparaiso-Rhode Island matchup in the Sweet 16 a few years ago.

[Derwood]

Buckeyes looking WEAK. Man I hate that school

[Transmogrified Tiger]

This Nova-Arizona matchup looks like it could be a fun game to watch.

It will be fun as long as 'Nova wins (in my Final Four).

 

But I pick the Wildcats to win this one. :wink:

None yet. But the hot rumor is that the guy who coached before Buckley, Ray McCallum, could return. O$U assistant John Groce and Iowa assoc. head coach Craig Neal have also expressed an interest. It should be interesting to see who comes in.

 

OSU is annoying me. I can't believe I was worried about this team beating Villanova.
