2012 NCAA Tournament thread

[Guest]

Not going to be able to catch the IU-VCU game live. The school I teach at is playing in the Indiana basketball semi-state against Yogi Ferrell's team. So I'll probably just have to monitor it on my phone.

 

Do you Illini fans want VCU to lose to get closer to a Shaka resolution?

I'm definitely conflicted, as I mentioned earlier in the thread. ;)

Anyone better than 27 of 33 so far? I had Mizzou in the elite 8, but have all my others alive.

Wait, Frank Martin was crying in his interview?

24 of 33, but have lost five Sweet 16 and two E8 (Duke, Mizzou).

Craft and Thomas are owning for OSU. Sullinger is flopping around and pouting.

I've got 7/8 elite 8 available so I'm happy about that. But I'm only 22/33 so I'm pulling up the rear in my pool. It's my first bracket ever. That's my built-in excuse :)

[Smack]

Here come the Zags... Upset brewing...

This is becoming uncomfortable. OSU better start hitting shots.

 

There's one.

Man... last year I was 31 for 32 (VCU)... then went 15 for 16 (VCU)... and I thought I would dominate in my pool. Then went 1 for 8 and 0 for 4... Haha

[Soul]

Oh my god.

[Smack]

That was an impressive balancing act by Craft.

You're an American male with 34,000 posts on a sports message board and doing your first bracket now?

You know, they're showing the wrong angle. I thought he got his hand off the ball before the other one hit out of bounds. But they aren't showing it.

Thats what I thought too. They showed it on one angle, I don't think they can review it anyway. Theyre just checking the clock.

I'm not kidding you. To say I'm not an early adopter of fantasy sports/brackets/etc would be the world's biggest understatement.

 

I just watch games and root for my teams.

[Smack]

Painful FT misses.

OSU's got it anyway, so it doesn't matter much.

[Smack]

Sullinger is so soft. He's got bust written all over him.

[Smack]

Nice pirate earring, sullinger's dad....

he did, but it doesn't matter. someone else has to touch it before he can since he was out of bounds.

I believe he picked the conference to go 2-4.

I love that the officials can spend a couple minutes in the first half of a game checking the video to see if a foul should be intentional or flagrant but they can't spend 30 seconds in the last minute of a game to check to see whose hand the ball went off.

Go Murray!
