QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 11, 2006 -> 05:34 PM) You know whose really playing great right now..UCLA. I realize they are beating up on the down pac 10 conference but they are playing strong defensively and the team has grown a lot and responded well to all the injuries. Plus Ben Howland is a very good head coach. The only thing is they'll need to get Bozeman back healthy. I'm putting them down as an elite 8 team. UCLA has absolutely everything to make a run. They're number 3 on my big board right now. With Hollins playing well now, they got a 7 footer who can play down low, they're one of the best defensive teams in the nation, and their guard play is absolutely fantastic. I love this UCLA team.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 11, 2006 -> 05:23 PM) Trenton is a beast of an athlete though.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 11, 2006 -> 05:10 PM) BC beats UNC by 3, more good news for us. lmao. That game made me laugh a ton. A lot of dumb mistakes down the stretch by both teams.

Wow.

QUOTE(Timoperezrulez @ Mar 11, 2006 -> 04:16 PM) Why does everyone hate timo? I'm one of the few here who don't but don't ask others why because it'll go on for a while.

QUOTE(bmags @ Mar 11, 2006 -> 04:13 PM) that Cintron will replace Timo as the whipping boy. Both were traded for in spring training for flailing AAA pitchers. By all accounts Cintron is more talented*, but i think he will be it. More like Cintwrong, amiright? *impossible not to be true. Well you just gave jabroni a nickname to use if Alex gets off to a bad start.

Welcome, you're not going to be well liked here with that name though.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 11, 2006 -> 04:05 PM) Florida up by 2 with 8 minutes left over LSU. I really wish that game was on tv. Now, if I was still at school then it would be.

BC with a one point lead over the Tar Heels at half.

SDSU-Wyoming tomorrow for the mwc title.

This new poppy sucks.

Justin Williams of Wyoming has 10 points, 11 boards and 11 blocks as Wyoming is trying to advance to the mwc finals tomorrow. They're up 6 with 1:37 left.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Mar 10, 2006 -> 03:14 PM) Is there?? 15 after 5 and 10 after 7 I believe.

IU is going to win this one and advance to take on OSU tomorrow.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 10, 2006 -> 02:09 PM) Vols lose again. It's pretty clear that Pearl's helter skelter style has run this group of players out of gas. But as he gets his players in there (ie: people in better shape more suited to play the style) they are going to be damn good consistently IMO. They don't defend either. They can run teams out of the gym all they want but until they learn to play better defense they're not going to have a long run in the ncaa's.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 10, 2006 -> 10:27 AM) God I hope you meant to put this is green. Jeckle. Ryan Sweeney.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Mar 10, 2006 -> 01:23 AM) Defense is important but people have to remember offense is more important. :banghead Green I hope?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 10, 2006 -> 01:12 AM) Utah upsets their in state rivals BYU. BYU and Air Force both suffer upset losses today, and their bubbles have likely popped. San Diego State has a very good record and won the MWC in the regular season, but likely have to win the next 2 games to get a bid. BYU and Air Force losing make the Mountain West all but assured a 1 bid league. No doubt about that. SDSU is a pretty solid team, they have a clear road now, they should win this thing.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 10, 2006 -> 12:48 AM) Oregon by 6 with 2:48 to go. The Ducks, who have rolled in mediocrity and below .500 all season and trailed by 14 with 10 mins to go, have put on an unreal rally to take the lead on the #2 seed and #12 ranked Huskies. Chamberlain Oguchi has 17 points, all scored within a 8 minute blitz in the 2nd half during the main ralley. I was watching the BYU-Utah game but turned this on because you hyped it up. It better be a good finish.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Mar 9, 2006 -> 10:35 PM) I didn't say lock, I said UConn and Nova are the safest bets to make it. I'm pretty confident that both of those teams will get by the 4-5 team, while I'm not so sure about the other teams. UConn played a horrendous game today, and Syracuse still needed a really deep 3 to send it to overtime. That's a major reason I don't think they'll lay an egg. Fair enough. I mean don't get me wrong I fully expect UConn to get there but at time they play like idiots so you just never know.

Pitt's going to win this game and set up an interesting matchup with Villanova tomorrow who they did not meet in the regular season. I'm going to be boring and say it'll be a nova-gtown championship.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Mar 9, 2006 -> 10:08 PM) I'm rooting for Xavier That makes two of us. Anyways, some good news for bubble teams, Air Force lost their game today in the mwc tourny, so they're officially done.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Mar 9, 2006 -> 10:11 PM) The only two I would call even moderately safe bets are Nova and UConn. I might throw OSU in there if they put up a good showing in the tourney. I wouldn't call UConn a lock just because they seem to fall asleep in some games. I highly doubt that would happen in the tourny but you never know.

The A10 tourny is officially a mess. The 1, 2, 3, and 4 seed have been eliminated. The semi's consist of 9.Temple vs. 5. St Joes and 10. Xavier vs. 6. Fordham.

Charlotte the number 2 seed in the a10 tournament has been eliminated as well. That tourny is completely wide open at this point.
