NCAA Basketball - Tournament Time

[Wild11MN]

Fox with two fouls and Berry hurt. Should be an interesting first half.

 

[PredsV82]

Kentucky picked the wrong day to bring their C game defensively... Carolina shooting 58%.... no way UK wins if that Stat holds up

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

These refs have been ridiculous on both ends.

 

[PredsV82]

Carolina hitting their free throws... UK not so much...

 

[PredsV82]

Briscoe not helping his draft stock at all....

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Man, UK played a terrible half and they are still only down 5. Got to feel alright about that if you're a Kentucky fan.

True but gotta get through the first 5 minutes or so of the second half without any of the three frosh getting their third foul... and gotta make a few more stops and a few more defensive rebounds


This is where we find out if Calipari is actually a good X's and O's coach....

 

[spintheblackcircle]

We just received a tornado warning, wonder if CBS will break away from the game to go to the weather, they usually do that when we get them.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

they did it, they broke away from the game....heh

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Kentucky is their own worst enemy here.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

they did it, they broke away from the game....heh

That's terrible.

We had severe rain here Friday night and they did the same.

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Holy crap

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Kentucky is going home

YAY!!

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Instant classic right there. Hell of a game.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Kentucky is going home

YAY!!

Except that North Carolina is the one that took them down, so not too exciting

 

[PredsV82]

So this is like soccer right, and Kentucky wins 176-175 aggregate...


Goddammit. Nobody to blame but themselves for not putting it away when they went up 5...

A few bad decisions, but also got some good looks during that stretch that just didn't go down.

 

[Voight]

Sucks we are out but still another succesful season from Cal & The Boys.

Firmly hopping on the Zaga bandwagon. I think this is their year, and SC could very well Butler their way into the title game.

 

[HisIceness]

Rooting for an Oregon-Gonzaga final. I guess South Carolina would be okay too.

Just can't root for UNC. Not after being exposed to Duke and NC State at a young age

Also, why the NCAA still hasn't punished them yet for all the years of academic fraud is beyond me, but thats for another day I guess.

 

[solventless710]

Absolutely awesome game (especially as a UNC fan), but shameful it didn't take place in the title game or at worst, the national semis. Embarrassing job by the committee with seeding and placement this year. The fact that UNC, Kentucky, Oregon, UCLA, and Kansas were all on the same side of the bracket is a joke.

Nobody gives a **** about Gonzaga and their cupcake road to the Final Four.

 

[NJDevs26]

It is actually too bad the brackets didn't give us regional matchups with Oregon-Gonzaga and NC-SC, that would have at least been semi-interesting to the casual fan

Arizona would have beaten Gonzaga this time around if they didn't choke at the end vs Xavier.

 

[Reality Check]

Unlikely.

As we saw once again, Arizona is as prone to choking as Kansas is.

The good thing about a Gonzaga-South Carolina matchup is at least you'll have a team to root for in the finals. Unless Oregon can pull the upset over North Carolina.

I always thought Frank Martin did a pretty good job at Kansas State. Granted, I never paid close attention but at least they were usually a tournament team.
