NCAA Tournament Thread - Sweet 16/Elite 8

[rawaction]

Wow! Could anybody had guessed an 11 seed would be Michigan St., North Carolina, and UConn in the same tourney. 3 storied programs.

[rawaction]

This decimates my bracket and eliminates me but I don't care that much. UConn didn't deserve to go. What a joke of a team they turned out to be.

 

GO PATRIOTS!

 

A joke because they went 30-4 and lost in OT of the Elite 8?

[Derwood]

My bracket is farked but I don't care.

 

Let's see GMU vs. LSU in the finals! Jai vs. Big Baby!

In the pool at my dad's work you get a first-round game, and the winner of that game is your team throughout the tourney...I have Villanova, but their lack of height in this game really scares me. If you make the Final Four you win money, so I need them to pull this out.

They should have lost to Washington, and almost lost to Kentucky, and did lose to GMU. And the whole time they never looked like they were even playing to win. With that much talent they should have rolled over everyone to this point.

Has there ever been a Final Four without any 1 seeds? Nova is the last 1 standing...

[Butterscup1679666578]

Thanks a lot Ray, keep your head, this is the biggest game of your life.

What is funny is all the experts were saying all the 1 seeds would be in Indy.

:lol:

[Derwood]

I seriously have no interest in this Nova/FLA game. It can't possibly be as good as the last one.

Go George Mason!

 

Being a Cub fan has engrained me to always cheer for the underdog.

[SouthSideRyan]

Ohhhhh CuseCubFan!!! Come out come out wherever you are!!

[Soul]

Man, that was incredible. I thought for sure UCONN would take it once they made it to OT. What a great effort and accomplishment for George Mason.

That coach has a job for life now.

[Mark_R]

And they were really fun when watching them in their postgame interview. Very humbled and very appreciative of the opportunity.

 

I'd love to see them win it all, just to stick it to the big conferences.

[stitchface]

UConn and Nova are both very undisciplined - take a lot of bad shots, make dumb plays in general.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Sumpter being out all year really hurt this Nova team.

[baseball7897]

Alright my bracket was busted with the UConn loss, so im hoping on the Gerogemason bandwagon.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

If Florida can hold off Nova, I'll have gotten 3 of the 4 Final Four and still have both my championship teams alive.

And the mighty Big East would be out.

Oh, you have no idea how much I would love that.

 

The Big Conference commishes would poop a brick if GM won it all.

[stitchface]

right now you have to hand it to the SEC and to a lesser extent the PAC10. These big east teams may be talent laden, but they play terrible basketball. hey, why not huck up another 3?

[Butterscup1679666578]

Villanova is playing some of the stupidest basketball I've ever seen.

[SouthSideRyan]

I'm shocked at the SEC's performance, I will give them loads of credit as Florida was the only SEC team I even had winning a 1st round game.

 

Pac10 not so much. Washington had their sweet 16 handed to them, and they still barely made it, and UCLA played one of the worst college basketball wins I've ever seen last night.

[bukie]

Maybe it's just the homer in me, but Illinois and North Carolina last year would be able to wipe the floor with any of the teams this year. No team is close to the level that those two were at last year.

Agreed 100%. There's just a lack of a great team this year.
