Marquette got jobbed. But just a little, they probably weren't going to win anyway.

You could see Buzz Williams (what I imagine, given his anger) cursing at the official, with his hand cupped over his mouth, as to avoid a tech. He got off the court pretty fast too; just barely shook hands with the other coach. Can't really blame him. That was a tough way to lose.

Looking back at it, I really liked what I saw from Michigan. They pulled the minor upset in the first round, after just scraping into the field. Held strong against Oklahoma for the most part too. I think Beilein has it going in the right direction.

Lawson gutted out a clutch standing against LSU to help ice that Carolina victory in the 2nd half against LSU. He should be good to go come the Gonzaga game.

Clearly NOT a great deal of NCAA Basketball fans here on this forum.

UConn is now in ELite 8

Pitt maybe in some trouble, who knows CLOSE game!

Pitts Hangs on!

For me, I follow my team and casually glance at the others. And I'm more interested in watching rather than armchairing

Caped Crusader · 03-26-2009, 08:56 PM

Uconn!

SuperJediHero · 03-26-2009, 08:59 PM

Obama says Memphis will be in Final 4.

But, I think Uconn is looking mighty powerful!

Bunker · 03-26-2009, 10:24 PM

Wtf, Memphis?

Addendum · 03-26-2009, 11:11 PM

Guess they want to go home early.

Bunker · 03-26-2009, 11:17 PM

I could see Missouri beating UConn.

DChero · 03-26-2009, 11:31 PM

As a Pitt fan, they continue to scare me. The upside is that they are battle-tested from all the close games. As long as they stay in for the first 3 quarters, they can go all the way.

Though I'm certainly no basketball expert, I'm applying the mentality the Steelers have had for their last 2 Super Bowl wins. It's all about finding a way to win.

"University of Florida coach Billy Donovan will resign as Gators head basketball coach and take the position at Kentucky vacated by Billy Gillispie, a source close to the Kentucky basketball program tells the Fox television affiliate in Orlando."

Florida coach Billy Donovan will not be a candidate for the Kentucky job or any jobs that come open.

“In response to the rumors circulating about my interest in other jobs, I wanted to address this as quickly as possible," Donovan said in a statement. "I am committed to the University of Florida and look forward to continuing to build our program here."

BlackLantern · 03-27-2009, 04:21 PM

Billy Donovan isn't going anywhere....anyone who thought otherwise has gone 'Full Retard'

Must be the same source that told Kirk Herbstreit that Les Miles was going to coach Michigan. Fail.

Bunker · 03-27-2009, 05:02 PM

EDIT: failure.

Forgive my ignorance.

LOL Louisville is handling Arizona like a First-Round team, of course, Not surprising considering they are just #12 seed.

But Syracuse is also being handled like a First-round team, that's a SHOCKER!!! WOW

LegendaryCaleb · 03-27-2009, 10:23 PM

why does it have to be my team that does the stupid thing like passing the ball in to the other team...seriously...

LegendaryCaleb · 03-27-2009, 10:56 PM
