How about you make a free throw.

6 point lead for Washington, and I'm less than 2 minutes away from being out of my pool.

What's wrong with you guys Connecticut?

lol Jeff Farnsworth??????

Happy Birthday!!!!

He's going pro and would be an idiot not to. BTW, Derrick Thomas was the s***. I was only 13 or 14 when he died, but it was a sad day. Anyways, any thoughts on Memphis/UCLA? I think Memphis might just run UCLA out of the gym, the Bruins better make this a slooooooooow game because they don't have the firepower to run with Memphis. Yeah I'm a Chiefs fan and I cried and cried that day, I was 14 when he died also. I gotta go with Memphis, they are impressing me in this tournament. I just don't see UCLA being able to shut them down.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 12:10 PM) That's why I love pics like that, they show it's about more than winning and losing. Obviously it shows the joy of victory and agony of defeat, but you see the human element and how sports are about the emotion and the passion that it puts into people. Gonzaga I must admit was a lot better than I thought, if you give them a more athletic point guard they are a final 4 team. Yeah it's true, my favorite picture of all time is with on of my favorite athletes of all time, Derrick Thomas sitting in the rain during a during a Sunday Night football game with Seattle. (I think it was Sunday Night.) Anyways concerning Morrison, I'm sure all of us think he'll be going pro so we'll have to wait and see if/when that becomes official. I would just hate to lose like that just like anyone else, but time will tell I guess.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 01:04 PM) Being up 15 with 4 minutes left and 8 with a minute left? But yeah, a brutal loss, i'm glad Afflalo did what he did. That's some good good stuff, that's what sports is all about. Similar to handshakes after a stanley cup playoff series. What I was saying is that being up the whole game and being up big and right at the end losing it has to be one of the worst feelings in sports. I'm not saying this was the worst outcome because it's not, there have been worse, lol not many but there have been.

Both are great pictures imo. Afflalo did a very classy thing going over to Morrison like that. In the end, that's what sports is all about, competing for fun, and then congratulating each other afterwords. All of us sports nuts usually think that winning is the only option and quite frankly in a competitive environment it is. I guess I just need to remember that it's only a game and 64 out of the 65 teams are going to lose. The second picture that has Morrison on it shows how much he really wanted it. I'm trying to think of a scenario that's worse than controlling the game and being up the whole game and then to lose it in the last 10 seconds, I probably need some help thinking about a worse scenario since all I can still think about is last night.

haha throwing a chair probably makes me a full fledged Gonzaga fan.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 12:14 AM) Sorry WT, I didn't know you were an actual Gonzaga fan. I'd have layed off a lot more in the past if I knew that, I just thought you were defending them. haha no, it's ok I shouldn't have gotten that upset. Yes I am a Gonzaga fan though, just because my favorite basketball player John Stockton went there. Michigan is my favorite team, followed by Gonzaga. But I am glad you don't have to leave, I like reading your posts.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 12:09 AM) That's fine, i just didn't know why you quoted me when i had 2 posts, and only one concerning gonzaga, and it was humor and redick and morrison. I wasn't trying to pour it on, just make a nice joke about it because i don't like morrison or redick. But when you throw everyone into a group, it's not fair. Honestly, i'd just avoid the thread if you know it's coming, that's what i do when illinois loses. Well I should apologize to you, your's wasn't even bad, like I said it was just the last. And I know that there will always be lovers and haters for a certain team. When they win, the lovers are out, when they lose the haters are out, that's just normal. I was just so angry and I'm sure you and any other sports fan can understand, we've all been through that kind of stuff.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 12:00 AM) First off, all i said was redick and morrison can go play halo now. If you don't like it, too bad. Second of all, i'd like to know what is classless about that post? There was no "f*** gonzaga/morrison/gonzaga sucks" in any of it. Then you bring up an irrelevant point to counter what i said about halo. Just because you feel bad doesn't mean i/we have to. Sorry we disagree on teams we root for. If you don't like it, stay out of the thread. I'm not only pointing you out, it was the last post at the time when I quoted it, so if you don't like it, sorry dude. I'm just saying I'd prefere not to hear any of this f*** Gonzaga s***, but obviously since I said that there will be more of it from some immature people or people that just want to piss me off. But that's ok I'm starting to get over it now. I just had to vent some.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 11:43 PM) LOL, like that has to do with anything right now. I love it how some of you guys like to say, oh Gonzaga sucks, f*** Gonzaga, I hate Gonzaga. Let's show a little class here, I never went over and said, hahaha f*** Illinois. I'm pissed off just as much as you people were pissed off about Illinois but I'd never go over and try to rub it in.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 11:36 PM) Now Redick and Morrison can concentrate on their Halo games all weekend, nothing else to worry about. They can also worry about making more money than all of us when they get drafted.

Dang I feel so sick right now.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 11:32 PM) Question, aren't the announcers usually supposed to be neutral for national broadcasts? These two clowns were worse than Chris Berman during the Red Sox, White Sox series. haha that's what I thought and I thought but it's over.

Malone gets stripped 8 years ago in the Finals, Batista gets stripped just now, my teams are always getting stripped at the end. Go Michigan, let's win the NIT again, haha.

can't believe that just happened. Great comeback by UCLA.

My Word.

I don't know where that foul was, but Gonzaga's had a few go their way in the last few minutes.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 11:21 PM) See, that right there. Complete f***in bulls***. lol I know and I'll admit it, who'd they call the foul on, Raivo or Pargo anyways? I didn't hear, I've been on both sides of terrible officiating like everyone, and if it's going your way you'll take it.

OK, I can't defend that last call.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 11:15 PM) Yes and I know where you're going with this but you didn't answer my question. haha ok, but "trying" to answer your question, how much of the game have you seen. I haven't seen a whole lot so I obviously don't know if the reffing is one sided or not. Sure there was bumping down low that I would've called a foul on against Gonzaga but that was 1 incident. I don't know how many others there were. Knight just fouled out for Gonzaga so I guess Gonzaga's getting called for some fouls.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 23, 2006 -> 11:14 PM) Because they said the reffing is one sided? Were you a Jordan fan?
