Let's go Hoyas! :D

 

Heckuva comeback against Carolina. Both semi-final games sure look like they will be a blast to watch.

 

Assuming UCLA can put up a better fight this time.

 

That's two straight scares for my bracket with Georgetown.

 

I really wouldn't mind a nice 10-15 point victory over OSU in the next round.

Anybody know a site that shows the first and second half splits for the game? I would like to know what UNC shot from the field in the second half because they were around 50% in the first half and ended up at 35.7 for the game.

Roy Williams is not a good coach. Also, Jeff Green could have scored 40 every game this year.

 

I agree about Roy. He was getting far too much credit for their comeback against USC.

 

Sorry MPrior.

 

By the way, I thought it was hilarious that Patrick Ewing's son was kissing the basketball after he got the rebound with 2 seconds left in regulation.

While I wouldn't go that far, he did a very poor job this game (and season I'd argue). Launching 3s while ignoring Hansbrough is inexcusable.

sweet, i win some solid cash if UCLA beats G'Town in the finals, and win some money (though less) if UCLA beats Ohio State. I'll take it.... go Bruins!

 

Bruins might just take this whole thing.

I'm in a similar boat. I get about 80 bucks if UCLA wins it all, and I double my entry fee($5) if UCLA loses to G'Town.

somebody who's 100 points behind me will beat me by 20 points if O$U beats the Hoyas and then loses to UCLA. I'm still quite bitter that the freakin Buckeyes are still playing in this tournament.

aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd bill self fails to make the final four with the most talented team in the country.

 

give me break. we lost to last year's runner up (who should have been a 1 seed) in their own backyard. I'd hardly put the blame on Self. I'm so sick of bitter illini fans talking smack about Self's coaching. We lost to a great team. At least we didn't give up a huge lead in the waning minutes to lose to a mediocre VT squad.

 

Have fun with your mid-major roster in the big ten. I'll stick with Self.

 

wow, wasn't expecting such a response.

 

the university of illinois paid bill self for 3 years so he could put such a team together at KU, the least he could do is make a final four with them.

If Florida wins it all, I win around $200 bucks that, as a college student, I could use. So it's bland to cheer for them, but go Gators!

Q: Who has two thumbs and all four Final 4 teams in his bracket?

A: This guy

As do I.

 

Me 3. :D

Jay Mariotti was on Around the Horn yesterday, bragging that he had 3 of his 4 Final Four teams left... uh, there are two #1s and two #2s left Jay. That's really not a big accomplishment.

Especially when ESPN's National Bracket (the national average bracket) has 4 of 4 teams right.

That GTown game was an incredible thing to watch.

 

And for once, the Big East has the upper hand on the ACC and Big Ten having a Final Four team after years of terribly underwhelming performances in the tourney.

I only have one team left, and that's Georgetown. But with Florida, I picked with my heart. Joakim Noah annoys the crap out of me, so I had Oregon going from that region. I was right about Ohio State losing.... twice. They could be the only team to ever go 2-2 in the tourney and still make the Final Four. I had A&M in that bracket. I had Kansas in there as well, but UCLA played tough, and they deserve to be there.

 

I'm pulling for Georgetown. Mainly because they are a Big East team, but also because I hate Ohio State and Florida. And to be honest, UCLA has enough championships. :wink:
