QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 12:24 PM) Wishful thinking, but Dallas is going to finally break out in AAA and be up with the club to rescue 3B in June ... One can argue that Dallas has "broken out in AAA" several times already now though. You never know, but it's just highly doubtful at this point he can be any sort of a significant help to a major league club.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 12:45 PM) I feel fairly confident Tennessee will lose to Michigan in the 1st round b/c we're just so damn inconsistent. But, I also could see us making a Sweet 16 run, knocking off Duke and it wouldn't shock me. That's why I hate this team so much. There's no telling who's going to show up. I'm rooting for Tennessee because they have the talent and athleticism to give Duke fits. I'm not picking any of them, but I could see pretty much any of the 8/9 teams taking out their respective 1 seeds in this tournament and I wouldn't be overly surprised.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 12:14 PM) Wisconsin gave up over 70 points 1 time the entire season, how is defense their problem? As I have said the entire season, Wisconsin is a very difficult team to pick because they rely on shooting. If they are cold ie PSU where they shot 2-21 from 3, including Leuer and Taylor going 1-13, they could quite easily lose to Baylor. But the Wisconsin defense gives up less than 70 points a game, and that is going to give Belmont trouble. It is Wisconsin's game to lose, if they shoot well they win, if they shoot bad they lose. I personally think that it is a great draw for Wisconsin as they are not going against any super athletic teams that can beat Wisconsin even on Wisconsin's best day. Belmont has one of the best outside shooting teams in the country though. They have three guys over 40% and another 3 or 4 in the mid 30 range. In fact, Belmont is kind of similar to Wisconsin. I think this is a 58-54 type game which can go either way to be honest.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 14, 2011 -> 11:28 AM) Statistically they're still really poor on the defensive end of things. They still allow over a point possession, they're efficiency is way down there as well. I really couldn't care less that they don't have any freak athletes, either does Duke or Purdue but those teams get out and defend 100 times better than ND. Obviously they're an odd match up for teams as they do have a bunch of taller shooters but teams that rank that low on the defensive end don't last too long in the tourny. Purdue would be a really interesting matchup for them. They have no one who could really defend Johnson

Elite 8: Ohio St, Syracuse, Texas, UConn, Kansas, ND, K-State, Florida Final 4: Ohio St, KU UConn, Kansas State Championship: Ohio St vs KU, Ohio St wins Only non-top 4 seeds in Sweet 16 are K-State and Gonzaga. Belmont, Richmond, VCU, Missouri first round wins

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 11, 2011 -> 02:29 PM) via Is it wrong to say that that's actually kinda cool?

27-4 run to win by 2 for UNC. Wow, way to choke just as bad as UVA did Miami

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 11, 2011 -> 01:50 PM) Tar heels in trouble Lead down to 4. They just hit 4 straight 3's in less than 2 minutes.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 11, 2011 -> 01:45 PM) Didn't think he got that 3 off in time. Should of been reviewed at least. I think you can only review that when it's at the end of the half/game

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 11, 2011 -> 01:31 PM) Saw a nickname for Viceido that I liked probably because it involves an old song back when there were actual rock stars. Saw it here http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/white-sox-observer/ . The author called him Jackin' Dayan like the song Jack and Diane by John Cougar Mellencamp. No offense, but that's worse than Hot Fire

Meanwhile, UNC is down by 11 with about 11 minutes to play. I can't believe (well, actually yes I can) Dickie V was actually saying they had a shot at a #1 if they won this tournament. THEY AREN"T THAT GOOD!

I knew they lost Coble in the off season and just haven't paid much attention - I assumed this game wouldn't even be close.

I just feel with the back end of the pen we have we should just do what's best each game. Every guy should be ready to go whether it's the 6th or the 9th.

I haven't watched much big ten basketball this year outside of the big 4...Other than Shurna, is Northwestern actually any good?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 11, 2011 -> 09:49 AM) Anyone else watch Kemba Walker and think Ben Gordon? Eh, i dunno. Kemba's a better driver, defender and leader while Gordon has a better shot

Kemba.f***ing.Walker! How some big east coach left him off the first team big east is just beyond me.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 9, 2011 -> 04:41 PM) Holy f***, I don't know if I've ever seen a team get jobbed down the stretch quite like Rutgers did. I've been following online but wasn't watching it...what happened?

Oakland's going to be a dangerous first round matchup for someone

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 03:59 PM) Viciedo is swinging a nice bat. Trade Teahen, have Dayan play his role. Do we really want Dayan playing a bench role though? It wouldn't hurt having him get regular reps in the field down in Charlotte

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 11:26 AM) Beer and coffee. I can’t stand the taste of either one. Music. It’s not that I don’t like music. I just don’t get into it as much as most people. Most of the time I’m perfectly happy listening to whatever is playing on the radio. I got an MP3 player a few years ago for Christmas and put a couple dozen songs on it but I rarely used it. I ended up giving it to my daughter when hers quit working. I just got a newer MP3 player this past Christmas but I have yet to actually add any songs to it. Football. I like to play it sometimes both in real life and as a video game. I’ll watch a few Bears games during the season but I really can’t call myself a fan. If they win, that’s cool. If they lose, no big deal. Baseball has always been my first sports love. Any number of popular TV shows like The Office, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, etc… I might like them if I actually sat down and watched them but I just don’t have the time right now. So how can you say you don't like them then??? Seems like you haven't even watched them haha I agree with you about coffee. I'm not a morning person so it sucks because I'm sure I could use it but I just hate it.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 8, 2011 -> 11:06 AM) Danks starts. DeAza LF, Beckham 2B, Rios DH, Konerko 1B, Teahen 3B, Viciedo RF, Danks CF, Flowers C, Escobar SS Teahen back on that horse. It's a whitesox.com/Melty game at 2pm. They're really giving Viciedo, Danks, Flowers and Escobar quite the look early on this spring.

Watched the CAA final last night and ODU looks like a pretty legit team. Wouldn't want them in my bracket.
