[Mr. Dent]

I'm right there with you...my Seminoles were just as horrible this season.

I guess there's always Miami Hurricane games to look forward to now.

 

[Venom'sDad]

Why is no-one signing uptheir bracket in the Hype's tournament pick'em?

 

[Mr. Dent]

Brackets are too hard to fill out this year. There aren't a lot of stand out teams or players.

My depression evaporated today.

The addition of (Julius) Randle also steers Kentucky into unprecedented recruiting territory. The Wildcats have assembled, on paper, the No. 1 recruiting class of all time.
This group of Wildcats has six top-20 recruits, four of whom are the No. 1 player at their respective position. Michigan's 1991 Fab Five class had been the standard-bearer for recruiting classes. UK's group is larger, deeper and more talented.

Anyone watching 16th seed Southern punch Gonzaga, a 1 seed in the mouth. 34-31 at half Gonzaga. Southern was up 19-16 at around 10:30 mark in 1st half.

Southern one of those 16th seeds that ain't afraid. Remind me of UNC-Asheville last 2 years. They played a close 1st half against Pitt...then got blew out in 2nd...then last year lost by 8 or so to Syracuse.

 

[Sakuraba]

Marquette is so weak. They've fluked their way to an upset of Davidson.

 

[redhawk23]

Slu!

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Oregon! Pulling the typical 12 over 5 upset.

 

[enterthemadness]

VCU 86-39 with 3 something left in game. Shooting 3's while up by 35+ over a very depleted 12th seed Akron.



bring on Mich Saturday...

 

[BatSpider]

Virginia Commonwealth baby!

We coulda beat em by 20 shooting left handed.

 

[johnrain]

Still can't understand how Davidson turned the ball over with 6 seconds left then allowed Marquette to score a layup FTW.

 

[enterthemadness]

lol 15th seed Florida Gulf Coast. Over 2 seed Georgetown. 50-33 13:02 left in 2nd half. ROUTE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DirtyHarry]

I really hope Kansas goes down today, that would be a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 that lost lol

 

[Webfoot Hero]

I really hope Kansas goes down today, that would be a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 that lost lol

I highly doubt it happens but it'd be interesting if it did.

 

[DirtyHarry]

I highly doubt it happens but it'd be interesting if it did.

Well of course but it almost happened to Gonzaga

 

[DirtyHarry]

Well...this is interesting t:

 

[Dr. Evil]

There's a Florida Gulf Coast? Where is that?

 

[Sakuraba]

Lol the Big East and Big Ten are terrible. Who would have thunk it?

I guess anyone that's paid attention to the Big Dance over the past ten years

 

[enterthemadness]

It's times like this...why I wonder why I picked VCU to win it all. They cna't shoot, they can't play even ''good'' D.

Down by 15 at the half to Mich. 38-23 Mich, VCU down by 15. Blah.


They need to start making baskets. Cut it down to 8 point lead with 10 minutes to go in 2nd half and they can win.

 

[BestGirl]

The Big Ten looks terrible this year? Do you mean the Big Twelve perhaps?

 

[Sakuraba]

Nah, I meant the Big Ten.

Much like the Big East, those teams largely built their reputations this season by beating on themselves. Michigan is a terrible style match up for VCU and credit to the Wolverines for executing. Michigan State beat a small Memphis team that hasn't beaten a ranked team in four years.

Those are still good wins but it's also an unspoken scandal that 4 seed Michigan and 3 seed Michigan State have been granted veritable home games in the first two rounds.

The Big Ten doesnt impress me, but hey, we'll see how this tournament plays out.

 

[enterthemadness]

Florida Gulf Coast....is for real.



First 15th seed to make it to the Sweet 16. Guess this is the ultimate 15th seed EVAR.

Too bad I had Georgetown in the final 4

 

[enterthemadness]

Too bad I had Georgetown in the final 4

I had VCU winning it, St Louis and Gonzaga in Final Four.

only Miami (FL) is left...

 

[DirtyHarry]

I have Miami winning it all, Louiseville, Florida and Wiscdoh in the Final Four. My Ducks are still in it though
