The Official NCAA Basketball Thread

Georgetown lives to fight another day...that game was great, but a little too close for my tastes...

That and for a while there I really thought USC was gonna take UNC...that'll teach me not to think...
 
The Memphis/ohio state game will be another tough one.

Neither school will walk away with an easy win.

Go Tigers!

Got done just in-time for tonight's games :up:
 
It just seems like this year's tournament went really fast compared to other years :confused:
 
The first blowout I've seen in a while...
 
I'm already out at my office pool. I had to go against Ohio, man. I do the underdog thing all the time. :o
 
Seven out of my elite eight survived, and I'm 1-1 so far on my Final Four picks. :up:
 
Buckeyes win! :woot:

16 points... holy cow.

Damn the buckeyes.

But it was still close for a majority of the game.

I'm disappointed in the loss, but still proud of the team. 66 wins in the past 2 years, 2 Elite 8's.

Memphis will be damn stupid if they let Calipari go.
 
Lets go Jayhawks!

Sorry Tweb.

I've won three times, Venom'sDad won once, Darth Elektra won once, and TW has won once. We had a tie one night, too.
 
M_C is the only one who has no shot at winning, since Kansas lost.

But this round is 16, the next two games are 32 apiece, and the big one is 64 points.
 
****ing Kansas. :whatever: :down
 
Bleeding Kansas

I like how their coach doesn't want to give UCLA credit.


Some guy on CBS said that there is no coincidence that teams have their off shooting night against UCLA.
 
This is from a couple weeks ago but I haven't been to SHH in a long time so I just noticed it....

Dude. Dude. Dude. You are successful in making me jealous. So you contribute to the Bruin? Wow, that's aswesome. What do you make of this

?

Yeah, I work in the video department. As for that story I think BruinsNation is taking the LaRouche insult too hard for what it is, but the story was also unfair to the anti-Dorrell people, especially considering that I'm not sure exactly what else has to go wrong for people to see that Dorrell is a horrendous playmaker whose conservative calling has cost us many, many games. And don't take the DB standing up for the columnist to mean they like Dorrell too...I'm in the offices there all the time and probably 80% of the people there hate Dorrell too.

It's great to see someone acknowledge it. I am SO tired of all this "We missed open shots, UCLA defense had nothing to do with it, we just beat ourselves" nonsense. Having that kind of defensive pressure on you is going to make you tired and overeager to make open shots. I don't even understand how that line of reasoning works or why you would rather have a crappy team than admit that you lost to a good team. Wouldn't it be better to say that your team got beat by a team with a great defense than to say that your offense sucks?
 
As long as Florida puts it away, I'm still very much in this thing. :up:
 
Basically, if UNC wins, Darth Elektra wins... he has the point lead over J and M_C.

If Florida wins, I win.

If UCLA wins, Tangled Web wins.
