Re: 2009 NCAA Tournament thread

Anybody a little surprised that the line in the Duke Villanova game is Duke -3? I was expecting a pick-em, or Nova to be favored, but not Duke.

CBS 2 Chicago's site says Xavier/Pitt and Mizzou/Memphis

what?

Oh I read it wrong. I went to http://cbs2chicago.com/programming and it says:

"2009 NCAA Basketball Tournament Regional Semifinal Coverage also includes: Missouri Tigers vs. Memphis Tigers from Glendale, Ariz."

 

I must've missed the "also includes" part the first time. [expletive].

[SouthSideRyan]

Are you Missouri guys really surprised? It's how this [expletive] always goes.

Go Purdue and Villanova!

[Smack]

Not expecting a win... but... BTFU!

[Smack]

Purdue is going to have to hit 3s. Such a huge disadvantage in height...

[Slugger_16]

Big night for my bracket. I have UConn and Villanova in the championship game.

[Smack]

The Big Ten is just outclassed.

[bcl412]

This is kind of random but I don't like how all the tournament sites have the same type of floor design.

[Smack]

Lewis Jackson looking like a scared out of his wits Freshman.

Hopefully this isn't Gerald Henderson's last game at Duke

[woodchip2153]

Johnson for PG

[CubbieBum]

This night is either going to be a really bad one or a really good one. I'm about to lose control. I hate people who scream and yell on every play but I'm real close to that tonight.

Hopefully this isn't Gerald Henderson's last game at Duke

 

I hope it's his last game playing basketball ever.

[Smack]

Well. Purdue was awful on the offensive side, but only down 5. Their defensive is keeping them in the game despite terrible shooting and mental mistakes.

I'm sure he could play in the D-League or in Europe.

[Vanilla Ice]

I came in here to say Go Purdue, and I know I shouldn't bother, but you really think Henderson can't play in the NBA?

[Guest]

Hahaha, Henderson is a lotto pick in June.

[Smack]

Purdue bleeding bad right now. UConn about ready to start putting nails in the coffin.

[treebird]

he can't play in the nba if god chooses to prove his existence by blowing out both his knees during tonight's game

Maybe as a backup.

 

I just don't think he's that good.

 

EDIT: Is he really only 6-4? I always thought he was a 6-7 or 6-8 guy playing power forward. Now I really don't think he'll do anything in the NBA.

he has to be better than JJ Reddick

[Smack]

This game is over, but frustrating. Purdue could have taken the lead a couple times but stupid passes and bad shots have put them out. I guess the key players are only sophomores, but come on. Just terrible mistakes. At least we weren't upset.

[TruffleShuffle]

purdue also can't win when they don't shoot threes well, and they were 5-22 tonight... so that's it.

[Cynosure]

I have Pitt to win it all... please don't lose.
