2009-2010 NCAA Basketball Thread - March Madness is on!

[enterthemadness]

Cornell is dead. Started off 10-2..but it's now 32-16 Kentucky at the half. 30-6 run.

They need to stop playing their offense. It ain't working. They can't get open for 3's..can't hit 3's...turning the ball over trying to force unnecessary passes. Just shoot the damn ball. C'mon now...

 

[enterthemadness]

Well...Kentucky blows out Cornell only because of the lop-sided 1st Half. 62-45. HOWEVER...It was only 30-29 Kentucky in 2nd Half...and Cornell got within 6 at one point late.

I hope Northern Iowa and/or St Mary (CA) can win tomorrow.

 

[BlackLantern]

St. Marys has a better chance

 

[BestGirl]

You still care about your bracket? LOL

Heh, the entire left half of my bracket is busted.

 

[KBX]

I think Northern Iowa has a better chance winning their game than St. Marys

Cornell going cold for the last 10 minutes of the 1st half killed the team.

Heh, yet another hard fought double digit victory for my Blue Devils. Man I am going to enjoy going to work Monday in Tar Heel Country.

Duke FTW

 

[BlackLantern]

You should find a big NC fan in your work and pee on something they own

it's only proper as UNC only made the NIT (aka the Not in the real tournament Tournament)

 

[El_Citrus]

Mountaineer! WVU knocks off Kentucky! Final Four baby! *runs naked through the house*

I don't want to get my hopes up, but I like our chances against Baylor or Duke in the next round. What a final four we could have. It could end up being Butler and Tennessee against West Virginia and Baylor. Crazy.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Not
In
Tournament

As to WVU, I've been saying for some time that this team scares the shiz outta me, more so watching their confrence championship game.

Oh......

It felt REAL good watching Kentucky go DOWN with all the hype they've gotten again this year.

 

[TheWatcher]

It sucks that my Cats lost. I know we were MUCH better than WV. We were the best team all year. Oh well.

Wait,Does it bug anybody that the 3 best teams are already out?

 

[Genesis 1.0]

LULZ

Bitter much?

What you mean to say is that the 3 of the best, most hyped REGULAR SEASON teams are gone. The Clutch, Playoff hardened teams are still in it.



That being said, I'm hoping like hell we don't get Kentucky-ed tonight.

 

[TheWatcher]

Actually I am bitter. :P
UofK,Kansas,and Syracuse. The three best teams all year. I'm not talking play off or regular season. I'm talking OVERALL.

We all have opinions.Lets not make this a argument.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

You can't make declarations and then say let's not make this an argument. You and alot of popular critics said those were the 3 best all year but when it comes down to it in the Tournament, those 3 were NOT clutch.

You're REGULAR season best, NOT post season. It's not an argument when the proof's already there. You have to at least make the Final Four before people give you any respect as far as being clutch, as a Duke fan I know this very well.


HOO-RAH! We cranked it out over Baylor for the W! We own the South baby!

Final Four here we come after a 6 year drought.

 

[Bunker]

Uh...WVU won the Big East tourney and had the best defense in the country. It really does blow that Kentucky lost, but to say the better team lost is stupid. UK had plenty of chances to get back into the game and totally blew it. WVU was the better team yesterday. Plain and simple.

The better team did lose. Kentucky has 4, maybe 5, future NBA players. WVU has..... none. UK was and is the better team. If UK and WVU play 10 times... UK beats them 9 times out of 10.

 

[Mister J]

The better team is the one that plays as such during the game. People need to come off it.

 

[Arc-Light]

Odd if UK could beat them 9 out of ten......why did they lose. Suck it up UK fans you were not the better team.

 

[TheWatcher]

...That day. But you cant say that there better then us in the long run.
We are WAY better than WV. But not that day.
