Hopefully we won't let you down, but KU is a better team. I also have 7 out of 8 Elite 8 teams - missed on Memphis (sadly, I had Texas A&M all the Final Four). Even though I have Kansas in the Final Four, I will be pulling for UCLA and Memphis because it will pretty much screw everybody else over in the pool I'm in with some friends. Almost all of them have either OSU or Kansas winning it all so if both of them lost, it would all but secure victory for me.

This is Kobe's league and everybody else is just playing in it. Fourth straight 50+ point game tonight for Kobe. Only Wilt has done this before. Unreal.

Butler is reeling right now and Florida is up 1. No field goals in over 7 minutes for Butler.

Seven straight for Georgetown and they're down 5 now.

Bad starts for the favorites today. Florida and Georgetown are losing.

Go Florida, UNLV, UNC, and Georgetown!!

Not a smart move by CBS.

That would require him to take a break from eating.

I'll take him in Oakland. Hasn't he suffered enough? Probably.

I'll take him in Oakland.

At least it's red. It's a fantastic shirt. If the US plays Mexico in the final I'm finding some sort of anti-Tricolores shirt to wear. It needs to have some reference to 'dos a cero' in it, of course. http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=477415&page=12 Awesome shirt. I'm considering ordering one.

I'll feel much better if Florida loses tomorrow, but with my luck they'll probably go all the way. :cry: At times like this, I hate sports. Why couldn't I have grown up loving Duke, the Yankees and the Patriots? My life would be so much easier. I apologize to everyone on the board for these horrible words, I'm just in a very depressed mood right now. Exactly how I felt about 4 hours ago... You'll get over it eventually. I'm already partly over it. But usually, the morning after is the worst. Hopefully I don't break my hand from punching a wall. The morning after is terrible, especially for me. I have a 45 minute drive to work and I always listen to the local sportstalk station. In the morning, all they'll be talking about is the game tonight. Thus I have to either relive every moment of this game or not listen to sportstalk (probably what I'll do). Then, when I get to work, being the sportswriter, I'm expected to discuss the game with whoever wants to and, while that's normally an enjoyable part of the job, it'll suck in the morning. The good thing is, my boss (an OSU fan) is on vacation so I won't see him again until Monday. Luckily I don't have to wake up till noon tomorrow. I'm going to try to avoid reading the paper too. It's going to be depressing though on campus. Depressing for you? We won nine freakin games this year! :lol: Heh, we only won five games and that was fewer games than the football team won.

Kobe with his third straight 50+ point game and he'll go for #4 tonight. There is no doubt in my mind that if the Lakers make the playoffs, he should be the MVP this year. He should have won it last year but the voters incorrectly gave it to Nash.

Come on Vols!!

OSU in the double bonus with over 8 to go.

If you told Thad Matta before the game that with 12 minutes to play, that Greg Oden would have sat out a majority of the game and have 3 points and only 1 field goal attempt, he would be pretty happy only being down 4 points.

Hopefully not.

I was just typing how big it would be if UT could draw either Oden pon Conley's third foul when Oden picked up his third.

I wish Gus Johnson was announcing these games.

Tennessee now 7-10 from beyond the arc and they have a 25-14 lead. Looking good so far. Hope they can keep it up.

Where's SouthSideRyan? I want to hear how great of a player SSR thinks Aaron Gray is. :D

one second isn't going to make a bit of difference. It makes a huge difference right there-if he had one more second he could have sidestepped that defender and then dribbled up to the 3 point line-with the time he had, all he time to do was sidestep the defender, so he just decided to launch the shot while straight on rather than moving to his right. Whatever Great argument. One second makes a huge difference in that situation. Yes. Maybe one more dribble and 3 more feet. Increases the shot percentage by a lot I'm sure. Are you drunk right now? The difference between 3.1 and 2.0 in that situation is huge. I realize you made a claim and now you want to stick to it, but give us a break. Sober as a judge. How about you?The difference wasn't 3.1 and 2.0. It was whatever it was when the ball touched the floor and the Memphis player touched it and it went out of bounds. So 2.7 or whatever and 2.0. Maybe one diribble and three more feet. One dribble for a D1 player covers about 5 feet at least. Think about how big they are. Tyus Edney, anyone? 4.8 seconds cross-court. Such a great play.

That's two years in a row I've underrated Memphis. I had them going out in the Sweet 16 to Kansas last year and they went to the Elite 8. This year I had them going out to Nevada in the second round and they're in the Elite 8 again and are still alive.

Well, go Tennessee and UCLA!!

One freaking defensive rebound. That's all they needed. Or if Acie would have made that layup. One final four team gone.
