Marquette is my 1st and at the moment only Sweet 16 team gone so far. Hopefully Alabama can pull it off against UCLA and minimize the damage.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 16, 2006 -> 05:07 PM) Anyone else notice that Lofton travelled before the shot? Yep, definitely did. Winthrop has nobody to blame but themselves though, they should have won by 10 plus if they could hit a shot.

Alabama vs UCLA could be a fun matchup.

Like I said, Nevada is even more overrated than BC. Ugh, I knew I shoulda taken Montana.

Novak with the choke job, and Alabama wins. Ugh, I've had a rough afternoon here.

Ugh my upset of the year pick fails on a lucky fadeaway shot. Damn Winthrop should have won that game by 15 though if they could make an open look in the last 7 or so minutes, so it's their own fault.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Mar 16, 2006 -> 03:24 PM) Around $13 million a year for Roy Halladay? I'd like that deal. If he's healthy I agree. But his injury issues are starting to make me a bit nervous.

Obviously recruiting is on the backburner this time of year, but some encouraging news for the Illini. 2007 small forward Kodi Augustus of Missouri City, Texas says his 2 favorites are Illinois and Florida. The Illini have not offered yet and Florida has, and Augustus is a high 3 star (Rivals 150) player at the moment, who according to the article will soon be moved into the top 100 and become a 4 star recruit. Here is a link to his current profile, although it has Illinois as low interest and Augustus only as a 3 star, so it's not all that updated. http://illinois.rivals.com/viewprospect.as...=2&pr_key=38971

2nd half about to start, Winthrop only down 2. I actually picked this upset in my bracket, so GO EAGLES!

Florida only up 6 on South Alabama at the half. Nevada fell behind by 12, but have awakened a bit to cut it to 5.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Mar 16, 2006 -> 02:27 PM) Simple, there's no way they should be a #5 seed. The team is extremely pedestrian outside of Fazekas. I don't really think their resume is as impressive as Wichita State's, which is 2 seeds lower. Exactly right. Oh, Montana by 9 .

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 16, 2006 -> 02:18 PM) Eh, they are overrated. Can't wait for Saturday. God I'm pissed. They will beat an equally "overrated" Nevada team Saturday, unless Montana does what Pacific almost did.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Mar 16, 2006 -> 02:15 PM) This game reminds me of FLA-Butler in 2000. Florida was a popular pick to go the final four, probably should've lost. Escaped with a buzzer beater victory, and ran all the way to the Championship game. Great point. Also, a short lived "overrated" chant by the bitter Pacific fans.

Wow, that Williams guy has a ridiculous dunk and block now in this 2nd OT.

Not only is BC going to win, but it appears they are going to pull off a miracle cover. Well done.

I'd feel terrible about my BC final four pick right now if not for the fact that this region is so flawed. They are VERY lucky to have survived this one though.

Pacific with 1 final shot, but a missed 3. That should be just about it.

WOW!! HUGE slam.

GIANT three to Rice, BC by 5.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 16, 2006 -> 02:09 PM) He stood straight up, Smith leaned into him and got a call. Not even close to what happened. Now if you want to claim Smith traveled, your onto something because he took steps. But Smith was definitely hit.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 16, 2006 -> 02:07 PM) That was not a foul, not close. It was complete bulls***, Pacific fan or not. Umm are you watching the wrong game? Dude got mugged.

Smith is FOULED with 4.3 left. Interesting, Smith hasn't been good at the line. 2 shots.....1st is GOOD. 1 point game, 2nd is GOOD!! TIED. OH HE'S OPEN! BUT TIME RUNS OUT!! DOUBLE OT!!

Timeout with 12 left, BC ball down 2.

This bracket is officially the weakest of the 4 if BC goes down. Florida hasn't exactly been great in the tourney lately, Nevada is a VERY weak 5. Villanova could be the most vulnerable 1, and Ohio State has been looking awful tired lately. Damn.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Mar 16, 2006 -> 01:51 PM) Have Witchita State in the Sweet 16. Yep, I got them beating Winthrop to get there too .
