uh if he makes it & is fouled & converts, yes it is.

It's a 4 point play. Takes 2 shots.

[javy knows my name]

My God, how I irrationally hate all the Aaron Crafts of the world

[javy knows my name]

Can I fire all the officials?

[Guest]

Cuse already in some foul trouble.

[Guest]

With both teams already in the bonus and the way the officials are calling it, this game is going to take forever.

[Magnetic Curses]

deshaun thomas is good, but i've never once seen him pass the ball.

[javy knows my name]

Please shut the [expletive] up about rosacea boy, Raftery

[NewUserName]

I am sure this has been covered already but Vern, Bill and the officials made the OSU/Syracuse game almost unwatchable

[sneakypower]

Please shut the [expletive] up about rosacea boy, Raftery

he's the David Eckstein of college basketball, replete with clapping after every positive play, ever

 

and Thad Matta's gum-punishing goblin face never gets any less gross

You think that now; you should have seen him in high school. I'm not sure I even saw him dribble. As soon as he caught the ball a shot was going up.

It's too bad he went out of state.

So glad I never bother to tell the difference between NC State and half the other teams in the ACC that never do anything in football or basketball.

Come on, man, they were an 11 seed. They overachieved to get to that point. They played less than their best basketball and still almost won because Kansas did the same. That's not an excuse, it's a team that is good, but not that good, but playing like they are belong there. Plus, they kinda got screwed by the refs but I'm not going to blame the loss on that. And their football team finished strong, as well. I'm fully aware of the ACC bias because it's [expletive] on NC State for years but NC State football should be "respectable to good" next year and NC State basketball is a lock for top 20 in the nation next year with or without Leslie. If Leslie stays, they are top 10.

lol Baylor actually asked the NCAA if they could wear those ugly ass neon jerseys today and were denied because they are the lower seed.

[Captain Serious]

flagrant foul my ass. :lol:

[snoodmonger]

Baylor should stop passing the ball to Kentucky players.

I still think that Butler shot in the National Title game would have been one of the top 20 most memorable sports moments ever if it had gone in.

 

Top 5, IMO ... I'm honestly having trouble thinking of a more memorable moment if that had gone in.

Jordans shot against Russell, ruths called shot, Buckner ball, fluties hail mary, that's all I got.

 

Duh Laettners shot.

 

Jordan's shot isn't even close.

 

I'm also not sure how Laettner would be more memorably when it was an elite 8 game from 15 feet compared to the championship from halfcourt.

[SouthSideRyan]

If/when Illinois is good again I bet illiniguy will never bitch about anything relating to the team

Right just like I always bitched during the MJ bulls era, oh wait I enjoyed the ride. Cause bitching about every little thing when your team is great is ridiculous.

 

C'mon dude. These threads were a [expletive] of bitching during Illinois games even when they were good. Don't pretend like you were some reasonable, balanced fan w perspective then.

I think it's still different. Illinois doesn't have national titles, you have 3. Again it's like the Bulls I watch their playoff runs differently since they've won titles.

 

Kansas has like 9 national titles.

 

For recruiting purposes.

[SouthSideRyan]

LOL at the announcer saying "for the lead" when Florida is down three.

 

I didn't know there was such a thing as a four-point shot.

um Jordan's shot isnt decidedly less famous than ruth, laettner, or flutie.

[SouthSideRyan]

What???

 

Jordan's shot is clearly less famous than Ruth's.

[Guest]

Why do you put Davis back in there when you're up 20?

[SouthSideRyan]

That flop made Chris Kramer blush.

Kentucky/Louisville in New Orleans. I'm placing the over-under at 20 fan-on-fan brawls the night before that one.
