NCAA Tournament Thread

[soccer10k]

Memphis on a run here, up 9 now. North Texas is looking abysmal on offense. I've seen at least 5 blocked shots by Memphis in the short time I've been watching.

[Careless]

Nice ooop.

NTexas wheels are falling off.

yeah, that ends the first round of games for the day

[cubweiser03]

I would love to see Memphis go down here. I have them losing in the next round anyway and it would be the upset of the tournament.

 

 

Me too. I think either Nevada or Creighton may beat them. I wish IU could've drawn Memphis as the 2-seed instead of UCLA. Oh well.

 

Yeah Creighton. I wonder if CBS does anything about 'famous' Creighton alums if they will use Jim Hendry....

 

EDIT: or whatever, even if he wasnt an alum he was the baseball coach.

GT cut the UNLV lead to 5 and it's currently 7 at the half. That could be good in the second half. But I hope UNLV runs away with it. :D

The NCAA is taking a bath in New Orleans. They could have held this one at Fogelman.

You'd think Memphis as a #2 seed would bring the fans. Not that far away and who wouldnt want to spend the weekend in downtown New Orleans or the French QTR.

Virginia is really looking good. Too bad for them they got the #4 seed instead of a 3

Alot of people thought they were overseeded at 4 to begin with. This isnt coming from me, just what ive read and heard.

Yeah, Virginia at 4, considering how they ended the season and the fact that they didn't have a fantastic resume to begin with, was pretty ridiculous. In fact, VT and Duke at 5 and 6 was wacky too.

 

GT needs to keep storming back - I have them in the 16.

[soccer10k]

GT-UNLV tied early in the second half.

 

Come on Rebels!

I too have them in one of my pools. good coach.

[Careless]

wow, terry just went flying

[Banedon]

Me too. I think either Nevada or Creighton may beat them. I wish IU could've drawn Memphis as the 2-seed instead of UCLA. Oh well.

 

My bracket has Memphis winning here, but losing to Creighton next round.

[soccer10k]

UNLV has gone stone cold from 3.

[cubweiser03]

N. Texas is fried.

 

Down by 13

I went with Nevada, but thought it was pretty much a tossup.

Good coach? Wow. I have Georgia Tech in the sweet sixteen, too, but only because of athleticism/talent. If you're waiting for them to win on coaching, you'll be waiting a long while.

[Careless]

some fantastic facial expressions in that replay of the 3 point play

They did go to the finals with a marginally talented team a couple years ago. He deserves some credit for that. Of course you could throw the IU coach at me too (his name escapes me). Anyway i thought that GT team was well coached.

[soccer10k]

Big game for me starting right now with Winthrop-Notre Dame. I have ND going to the Elite 8.

 

And I don't have a good feeling about it either.

Mike Davis. Dusty Baker nearly took the Cubs to the World Series, was he a good coach?

 

I'd also consider that Georgia Tech team more than marginally talented, BJ Elder was good and Jarrett Jack has been a good NBA player so far. Besides, they got blown out the first time they played a team with superior talent. They also didn't play a higher seeded team until the final four and Oklahoma State -- which was very nice victory. It was a nice run, of course.

 

PS Are you watching the end of their game now? Look like a well coached team?

UNLV about to win.

[Productive Outs]

you have ND in the elite 8 and GT in the sweet 16? craziness

[reds44]

18-2 if you include the play in.

Yes and no. They need to go to the Izzo school of rebounding. I forgot about the easy round Tech had going into that finals...where were you when i filled out my bracket.
