  1. No one on the east coast takes the ACT. They take the SAT. Just saying.
  2. I don't know why, but I find these WGN spring broadcasts boring as hell. I just can't get into them.
  3. If LSU, UCLA, UConn, and Florida win my Final Four stays intact. If UCLA, UConn and Nova win, plus I finish my time machine in time to hit Glenn Davis and Tyrus Thomas in the knees with a tire iron just before the Duke game, my Final Four will also be intact.
  4. Dear Lord, not this s#!* again.
  5. I wanted to punch whoever was doing color for the 'Nova game in the face. EVERY time the coach substituted he had to say "it's just brilliant the way he is substituting offense for defense at every opportunity." Then they show a graphic showing that BC had made 7 substitutions in the game and 'Nova 72 subs, and I'm thinking "Yes, and the announcer has mentioned the substitutions 89 times."
  6. ELITE 8 SCHEDULE: Saturday- 4:40 pm EST - LSU vs. Texas 7:05 pm EST - Memphis vs UCLA Sunday- 2:40 pm EST - UConn vs George Mason 5:05 pm EST - Villanova vs Florida
  7. Anyone who picked George Mason to reach the Elite 8 was either: a) Stupid b) Stoned c) A Homer No basketball analyst on earth would have guessed this. Good for them. I almost hope Washington beats UConn so we can have a mighty GMU/WU Regional Final
  8. I think a winning record with an ERA under 4.00 is a somewhat reasonable expectation for Duke. No way he has a 1.80 ERA over 30+ starts
  9. Plans for the new Washington Nationals park look exactly like Busch III and GABP. We've replaced donut-shaped cookie cutter stadiums with these now. In 10 years someone will build a perfectly circular multi-sport dome and people will think it's great and retro.
  10. That LSU vs. Texas game is going to be unreal. I can't wait!
  11. How is that NSFW language? The most profane word in there is" nuts". other chats on the site have strong language
  12. Why oh why did I go to bed at halftime of the Texas game?
  13. 1 night, 2 Final Four teams gone. Whee!
  14. and how. 1-6 from 2pt range, 7 for 18 from 3. Aldridge is 7-7 in the half, and most are mid range jumpers. Screw you Shelden Williams
  15. WVU has 15 points, all on 3's. Aldridge is going to be a great NBA player. 6'11", a sophomore, and already can shoot 18 feet jumpers. Please come be a Bull soon, thanks
  16. No matter how effective it may be, I HATE the style that WVU plays. It's like last year's Illini but with no inside game. They are a great argument for moving the 3-point line back. It's boring as hell to watch a team just launch three after three after three.
  17. Anyone else notice that like every player on LSU is a freshman or sophomore? If the stars don't run for the NBA, they are going to be beasts next season
  18. Redick will have a Steve Kerr/Paxson/John Starks type career in the league. Think about it. Chris Duhon is in a 9 man rotation. Smush Parker is a starter. There are what, 30 teams in the league? You think a team like Denver couldn't use a 3 point shooter in their 9 man rotation? Cleveland? Redick can shoot. He wore down towards the end of the season, but he'll have a nice, role player career in the league. Williams won't. He'll be a 2nd round pick at best, and he'll be out of the league within 3 years. He's just not that good. Okay, so I'm not alone. He isn't big enough or strong enough to sit in the paint and post up against NBA power forwards.
  19. just out of curiosity, if there are 6 non-roster invitees still in camp, who were the 5 players from the 40-man who have been sent down? In fact, is the 40-man full at this point?
  20. Nice run by Bradley. I really underestimated Memphis. I had them losing last round because I thought they were too young and hadn't had a challenge in months, but they are showing very well. That said, they STILL haven't really met a big challenge in months. The first three games in the tourney so far have been small and mid-major teams. They'll have Gonzaga or UCLA next. That will be their first major matchup since December.
  21. Okay, Shelden Williams had a great game (and a great year) but for some reason I just can't see him as being any good in the NBA. Am I crazy? He just strikes me as one of those "great in college, 8th on the bench in NBA" type guys
  22. Not too much of a homer pick, eh Vance?
  23. Right, because he didn't have 3 fouls with 19:30 left in the game and 4 fouls most of the last 10 minutes well seicne they have switched over from brad/memphis he has committed 4 fouls that ive seen. if only they were as eager to call that last foul on him as the first 4 They've let them play pretty rough all game, so if you just switched over, you don't know how the whole game has played. People are falling and flopping all over the place with no calls. Okay, it's over, and my bracket is officially SCREWED as I had Duke in the championship game. GAH! Good game though
  24. and....Duke is toast. Worst game I've seen Duke play all year. They had no answer for the defense. Fear the Tigers! BTW, I wasn this Thomas kid on the Bulls bad. Unreal.
