Yeah but if you were smart enough to listen to Coach K and not the dumb f***s on ESPN you'd have known that this wasn't as good a team as the media made it out to be. It was still one of the elite teams in the game, but not an elite Duke team.

 

And if it wasn't elite this year it sure won't be next year without williams or redick.

[YankeeDoodle]

If Texas wins, they're going to monopolize college sports. Football. Baseball. Basketball. Burnt orange everywhere.

[YankeeDoodle]

And if it wasn't elite this year it sure won't be next year without williams or redick.

Well UConn is in the same boat, as is Villanova, facing graduation or early-entry. You could have a different teams in the Final Four every year.

ya, theres also the possibility McRoberts decides to leave early for the NBA. http://www.nbadraft.net/ has McRoberts going 5th in this years draft.

 

They have a couple good recruits coming in, but nothing like Redick and Williams.

Well if UConn wins the whole thing then you're screwed. But there's a way you can finish with 158 points if Villanova beats Gonzaga with all your other final 4 teams and if that happens well then that's f***ing amazing.

Texas Wins!!!

[ORS]

Wow, UCLA got jobbed on that layup call.

[ORS]

f*** it, I'm double posting. Unbelievable finish going down in the UCLA/Zags game.

[Manny Goes Boom]

Well, if you look at half of the plays, almost all of them are a series of picks that Redick just runs around, and he has different patterns, etc. We do that for our perimiter shooter at my school, I even run some of em myself. Also, the NBA is so vastly different style-wise from the NCAA that they hardly run plays like that, I mean, when's the last time you've seen a zone in teh NBA?

 

Ever heard of a guy named Reggie Miller? Yeah 1st Ballot HOFer...What did he do his ENTIRE career.....?

 

RUN THROUGH PICKS! Thats ALL he did. Period. Redick will do fine.

[Moose]

wow!

 

 

Go Bruins!

[jsinger121]

Amazing game that UCLA won.

[Cityofchampions33]

The last time I watched an NBA game. I don't watch a lot of NBA basketball but I'm pretty sure every team runs a zone at some point in a game.

 

What time did that LSU bandwagon get to your house? I'm amazed it got there so quick.

 

Well watch the highlights on SC, I garuntee you will not see a zone at all, I was watchon a zone, they were followin their man, it just looked more lazy. Also I'm just pumped LSU beat Duke, I'm not a Tiger fan, I'm a BC guy.

 

On anotehr note, I'm 4/4 from last night, thank god for UCLA.

Yep, Reggie made a living off of coming off of screens and running without the ball. I'll give you another name -- Rip Hamilton. What makes him great is that he can run off screens all night long without breaking a sweat and he can get himself some pretty nice looks doing that.

 

As for the UCLA game -- I thought they were going to get screwed when they ruled there was no continuation in that blocking call, costing UCLA a basket. But, as we know, they came back to win it so it's all good. What great games tonight, though. In the late games, two teams overcame pretty big deficits to force some amazing games. That Texas game, though, was amazing.

Yeah, that's true about Miller, but that goes to my point= #1 option, you get plays. Also, on the picture thing, Morrison took it wicked hard, I think he said somethin like this on SC "We were in control for most of the game, but if you don't execute down the stretch your gunna pay. I hate losing, in everything, especially basketball, so I just let it all hang, which I did."

Yeah, I greatly dislike him so that's why I take pleasure in it. That must be extremely tough though, to know that you dominated the game and were in control of it almost the entire way through and still lost -- in addition to that, it being your last game of your college career... tough to take. I couldn't imagine that feeling. Almost feel bad for him. ALMOST.

It doesn't have to be his last year. The only reason it is, is because he cares more about money than his team, or the game.

 

If you want to feel bad for someone feel bad for JJ. He actually cares about the sport, and his team.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Another stupid question, when is the tournament over, meaning a champion declared ?

[MC Hammer]

Championship game is on April 3rd.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Thamks MC.

[ORS]

Championship game is on April 3rd.

Opening day. Thank god for mlb.tv; I can watch both games at the same time.

[ORS]

What planet do the NCAA refs come from? A BC player was just pulled to floor, and the ref calls a travel. f***ing unbelievable.

[See Red]

Yeah, this officiating has been awful. BC can't get a call. I don't want to hear Nova fans ever complain about getting screwed last year ever again.

 

How about that block to end the 2nd half? Amazing.

 

I really hope they show the UConn game in my area.

[RedRuffing15]

Vilanova game was great, Nova wins a close one

[jsinger121]

Pathetic refing in the BC game. Do they even know when to call fouls?

[KeepTheFaith1229]

Yes, the refs were terrible indeed. I'm just breathing a sigh of relief right now though because I have Nova winning it all.

[ORS]

I feel bad for BC because the refs kept 'Nova in that game, but they did go 8-17 from the stripe. That's horrible.

[RedRuffing15]

Yes, the refs were terrible indeed. I'm just breathing a sigh of relief right now though because I have Nova winning it all.

hey....you really are a member here........:thumbsup:

 

lol, j/k

 

lol, well it was safe to say I was eliminated from anything possible

 

In a diff bracket league than this sites one, I got 0 of 8 elite 8 teams, thats REALLY BAD
