I really have to go to the bathroom right now but there isn't a chance in hell I'm moving until these games are done.

Phew. Georgetown is still alive.

 

 

They're still down 2, right?

Well, not still. They were just down 7. They're getting out of a timeout with 25 seconds left.

Wow. How can you not call something there in the Georgetown game? I mean, that has to be either a charge or a block.

Well crap. If Georgetown had lost first, I would have been pulling for Butler.

 

Regardless, my bracket is officially dead. I had Georgetown beating Tennessee in the Final Four.

Disappointing end for Butler. I don't believe they played their best game today. I've never seen such a good team miss so many easy looks inside. Oh well. Their seniors had great, great careers and Butler will be better than a handful of teams playing next week. I'm still incredulous some on this board thought Tennessee would blow Butler out.

I thought it was a good no call live, but I didn't see a replay. It was too close to call it either way.

Live I thought there was a ton of contact and probably would have called a charge. Didn't see a replay, though.

Georgetown is my first Elite 8 team down. Not a terrible loss, but I'd have preferred that happen a little later.

 

Davidson might well have a shot at sneaking into the Final Four.

I'll certainly be rooting for them over Wisconsin. Not Kansas, though.

Yeah, Georgetown is my first Elite Eight team to lose too -- Final Four, actually. Still, it's hard not to be excited for Davidson.

This man is wise.

Your boys better come through for me, snood. I'm the only person who has them winning it all in my pool so if Kansas wins, I'll likely win.

I doubt it happens but I wouldn't mind seeing Mississippi State win this thing. And I be pulling for Michigan State in the next round.

What a game. I may not be able to relax the rest of the day after that.

 

Butler gave it everything they had - which is no less than I expected. Second straight year for a Sweet Sixteen visit by Tennessee is extremely nice, but I'm very worried about our point guard play. Prince did alright there today, but Ramar Smith had another bad game and Jordan Howell hasn't hit a shot this calendar year, I don't believe.

 

Since my bracket is now completely and utterly busted now (thanks Georgetown, who I had winning it all :banghead: ) I have no interest in the OU/Louisville game other than which is the easier opponent for Tennessee. I'm actually not sure at all which I should root for - probably OU but I'm not sure.

 

And that travel by Prince at the end of regulation was not a travel. His right foot never completely left the floor - his toe remained the whole time. Unless I'm wrong on the rule (which is possible), that wasn't a travel. It didn't hurt us though, so I'm okay.

I can't believe anybody thought Tennessee would blow out Butler. They're far too disciplined a team for that to happen.

 

Like you astutely pointed out, we couldn't run the full court press because it would have done us no good and much harm. They simply don't turn the ball over enough for us to beat them by much.

This couldn't have set up any better for KU. Man.

 

Which means if they don't make the FF, we'll start to hear grumblings about Self.

lol, "start"? I hate the matchup against Wisconsin, but things are falling into place. Gotta lock down Scotty Reynolds next week.

They very well could. They're controlling it now, though this is shaping up to be a battle.

 

Holy crap, I haven't seen so many blocked shots in so little time ever.

Varnardo is awesome. I love shot-blockers.

 

Yeah, he's fun to watch. This game is shot block crazy.

 

I love the Spy Hunter commercial. I used to play that on Commodore 64.
