Re: 2009 NCAA Tournament thread

they've just stopped calling fouls in our favor a lonmg time ago. are there any fouls on wku this half? i think illinois has 10 now.

We're just being outplayed by a wide margin here. Refs have little to do with it.

 

seriosuly, 4 fouls on wku, 4. 11 or 12 now on illinois.

sometimes, one team just fouls more than the other. That kind of disparity doesn't always mean that the refs are doing poorly.

I can't wait til the championship game where it's OU vs Memphis. I hope some punk from Memphis cheap shots Blake Griffin at the end of the game and Oklahoma is up a ton so that Blake can FINALLY go off on somebody and rip off an arm. I'm tired of every one just trying to injure him, it is so freaking stupid.

 

That definitely would dispel any notion that he doesn't have a mean streak.

Does anyone really believe that Chester Frazier would have made a difference? I think he is almost as overrated as Dee Brown. Ok, maybe not, but overrated nonetheless.

That's the most absurd thing ever. Dee Brown overrated. Good one.

looked like a foul by sanders in the ucla game. no call, vcu can pull to within 1 here.

 

Good to see I'm not the only one seeing the crap VCU is getting away with.

 

zebras are definitely letting them play. i'd have holliday or collison drive every time, though.

 

Shrug, they're not letting the guy guarding Maynard play whatsoever (but he's getting away with a lot of the same stuff).

yes, he would have made a difference. I don't know if it would have been enough, but he would have made a difference.

agreed, they do seem to be calling it tighter in ucla

Frazier wouldn't have, but to call Dee Brown overrated is ridiculous.

[Outshined_One]

That was a huge block.

[snoodmonger]

wow, that sanders dude can get up and block a shot

[Guest]

Sigh.

[Flames24Rulz]

Give the ball to Maynor and get the hell out of the way.

[Guest]

vcu with the huge block.

[bukie]

If anything, I'm most pissed about the complete lack of energy and hustle the Illini showed tonight. I'm just glad they didn't play a really good team.

VCU going for the first buzzer beater of the tourny (They took down Duke a couple of years ago now they are going for UCLA).

[gflore34]

Well, I was wayyyyy wrong about the Illini playing a better second half and winning. Watch Gonzaga actually guard the 3 point shooters and rip WKU by 20.

 

Still it was an unexpectedly good year for the Illini, a stepping stone to bigger and better things. Within a couple of years Weber will have them as a Final Four caliber team.

I didn't think Gonzaga would make it past the first weekend but now they should easily.

[hawkeyecub]

This won't end well. I have UCLA in the Elite 8. They should not be in this position. Maynor is going to dish for a layup to win it.

[bcl412]

Not quite.

[Outshined_One]

That was not well-executed.

[Guest]

great defense by collison

[Guest]

SUCK IT BITCH, NO FOUL THAT TIME.

[Butterscup1679666578]

that wasnt a very good play call by VCU, but really nice D by UCLA

[illiniguy]

Sometimes when you are that closely guarded you have to pass. Especially when you are under 6'5

[snoodmonger]

awesome d on that last possession.
