2007 NCAA Tournament Discussion

did duke even use a black kid this year??

 

sorry and this may sound 1860s ish but you cant play 5 white kids in a black kids game

adolph rupp knew this 40 years ago

 

 

Maybe the following sheds some light on this strategy:

 

Top 5 Grad Rates for All Athletes Major Conference Schools

Duke 90%

Stanford 87%

Northwestern 87%

Notre Dame 87%

Rice 82%

Virginia 82%

 

 

Missing from this list are all of the #1 through #3 seeds in this years tourney. You have to go to a #4 seed, Virginia, to hit this list. Duke's athletic program clearly has a focus not only on the sports themselves but also on the graduation of its athletes.

Thanks Mike Nifong for your insightful thoughts.

Today I got Virginia, GT, Memphis, Winthrop, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Creighton, Oregon, Kansas, Virginia Tech, Arizona, Texas, Villanova, Southern Illinois, Florida, Arkansas.

[VA Sox Fan]

A had GT too damn it. And Notre Dame. Damn it.

[See Red]

I had GT too but I definetely had Winthrop over Notre Dame.

[Rodney Harrison]

Notre Dame losing today = beautiful.

 

The 8-9 matchups are killing my bracket. I'm hoping the U of A wins today to salvage my bracket.

[ORS]

One-and-one, chance to tie it with 4.9 left...brick. That Illinois team is one hell of an undisciplined bunch. VT pulls it out.

[VA Sox Fan]

Yay Va Tech.....

 

The game between KS and Niagra was a tight, nail biter....ha ha ha ha!

[Papelbon58]

Deron Washington got a couple shots on him in that game that weren't called. Kudos to the refs at the end at least for not calling another foul on him on that last shot. Washington is obviously a great player, not just a highlight reel, in case that was in doubt, and he is only a junior.

[TheKilo]

Wooooo VA Tech.

[Taliesin]

In one of my ESPN brackets I've only lost 2 games so far. Gonzaga...damn damn Gonzaga and Long Beach. This was after 2.5 minutes of research. I could not know less about basketball if I tried.

[ORS]

Joakim gave quite a few bracket owners a sphincter shudder there when he turned his ankle a couple of minutes ago. This Jackson St. team is really well coached.

[ORS]

And they flop almost as well as a World Cup soccer team.

[ORS]

I'm not impressed with Green, Florida's PG. They've got three guys on the court that are 4" and 40# bigger than the biggest for J St., and he's chucking 3's when none of them are set down low. f***ing think, man.

 

Who's the dude having a seizure in the stands?

[TheKilo]

Villanova sucks and I'd love for Florida to lose.

[jacksonianmarch]

Xavier is giving the buckeyes all they can handle and more.

[ORS]

Xavier is s***ing all over many brackets right now.

[Cocos Disciples]

What a game...this is what the tourney is all about.

[jacksonianmarch]

this is one hell of a f***ing game. Oden just planted Cage. This game is over. Bye Bye OSU. Thad Motta should be fired. The fact that Oden was not the focal point of the offense underneath is beyond assinine.

[jacksonianmarch]

OSU is one of my final four teams, but I have them losing in the final four. How many people have OSU winning it all?

[Cocos Disciples]

If it gets to OT, OSU is going to win by at least 6. I have no doubt at all.

[TheKilo]

OSU is one of my final four teams' date=' but I have them losing in the final four. How many people have OSU winning it all?[/quote']

 

Same for me.

 

This game's not over yet though.

[Cocos Disciples]

I have them losing in the Elite 8 I believe.

[jacksonianmarch]

I have them losing in the Elite 8 I believe.

 

 

HOLY s***!

[TheKilo]

MAKE IT RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN

[Cocos Disciples]

Wowza.

[TheKilo]

Ballgame.

[Papelbon58]

That is looking like a good call.

[ORS]

The tourney is so special. Every year. I care less and less about basketball with each passing year, but I'm always entertained by the tourney.
