QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 01:05 PM) Cal was an 11 seed Well before they changed it sure, but they ended up a 12. Either way, an 11/12 shouldn't have that advantage.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 01:02 PM) Also because its 1 and done, everything just seems more magnified. So shooting bad just kills you to watch. Yeah, every 3 is magnified...you hit a few clutch ones and it could be that easy to move on. We're likely looking at that in our game later. At least Miss is 0-9 from 3, even if you aren't nailing them.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 12:46 PM) Warning, I too will be b****ing about refs. Well hopefully that's not an issue in the first game for you...

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 12:46 PM) I got nothing against you, but we should all give eachother a little slack about complaining in the tournament, especially when its against teams that we have no rooting interest for. Its stressful, and so maybe i vent more and b**** more, but its not like Im going around doing it to other people, Im doing it for my team, during their game... I hear you man. My only point, honestly, was that making priority #1 the refs seemed odd considering team performance...I thought you were going to call out the team first, then refs. Maybe that was just your frustration over your actual thoughts about the team first. I will say the refs were inconsistent at best. Talk to me in 3 hours maybe I'll do the same thing. I think you'll be fine in the 2nd half. Wisky always seems to score a lot more in the 2nd, and Miss hasn't done a ton to impress yet.

Enjoy your 2nd half Badger. I will root for the Big Ten.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 12:38 PM) Can anyone take this guy seriously? I mean this is just trolling right? Say that about you in most threads/arguments.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 12:34 PM) Dude youre a f***ing liar, just own up to it. Every single person who is a fan of sports has b****ed about refs in a frustrating game, especially a tourney game. You really think Im doing something so terrible being nervous and frustrated and venting about refs? Get the f*** off your high horse, youre just a liar. Nope, didn't lie about anything, your first 2 posts were indeed 100% about officials. I wasn't even the first one to say it, Steve was, and you didn't even respond. Whining about refs when the team is 90% of the blame is just silly.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 12:32 PM) No wite you arent allowed to say that a call was bad if the team is playing bad because those are somehow related. According to Krush if your team isnt playing well, you can never ever ever question the refs, you just have to simply say your team is bad. Dumbest s*** ive read this year. All the refs fault, totally.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 12:30 PM) And above is my 3rd post that came before you posted, when you said I NEVER said anything. So quit lying, its pathetic. Nope, quit lying, it's pathetic. First 2 said nothing about the team. Then you said one thing about one guy. Also, quit whining about the refs, it's pathetic when your team is to blame.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 11:59 AM) Well but for the refs it should be about 10-0 in the Wisconsin game. Damnit, this is a joke. Henderson just jacking up crap but refs wont call afoul on ole miss QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 12:12 PM) Wow these refs are brutal, what the f*** was that call on Brusier QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 12:25 PM) Just quit lying. I posted about Wisconsin throwing the ball away. If you want to disagree with my opinion that the refs are good, go for it, I really dont care. But just quit lying its annoying and sad. There's your first 2 posts, which is what I said. Not lying. What's sad is whining about the refs when the team is to blame.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 12:21 PM) Where did I say that? Steve's quote was me saying the refs were brutal. Never once said taht Wisconsin was playing well or that they werent throwing the ball away In fact I said they threw the ball away?? Why cant I say that refs are bad and wisconsin is playing bad? Because until your recent post, it was only about the refs. It would be irrelevant if they weren't playing terribly. That should be the concern, not the refs being #1. Put it this way if Illinois has 10 points 10 minutes in or whatever because we suck, I'm not pointing to the refs.

So it's your opinion that it's the refs fault for turnovers and poor shooting? OK

Years ago Applebee's made my "never go there again" list for their awful commercials during March Madness. I don't use Axe, but I never will due to this stupid commercial. http://adpressive.com/axe-apollo-astronaut...mercial-031413/

Typical Wisconsin/Big Ten start, can't score in the first half.

I-L-L Cmon seniors, out-tough and out-together them. One more in you.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 10:49 PM) I don't understand why the NCAA doesn't do a 3rd place game on the day after the Final Four games. Seems like easy money. Who would care about watching/attending that game, besides maybe the fans of those 2 teams?

QUOTE (Jake @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 05:41 PM) I haven't been watching for long, but I agree. Late call on this three point shot but it isn't a bad call. Should have been shooting FT's down 2 on that last possession, didn't get the benefit of the call there.

In case you are somehow not aware...Southern only down 2 with 5:00 left.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 05:27 PM) The guy that had the ball wasn't their best FT shooter. The Davidson guy was wide open and it would have taken 2-3 seconds for Marquette to catch up to him and foul, but the pass was too far out front. Think wide open WR 30 yards down the field behind the D and the QB overthrows him by 10 yards. The strategy was fine, the execution was awful. I looked at it again. The guy that couldn't catch up to the pass, originally was moving up court when the guy looked to make the pass. Right before he made it, he stopped. Passer led him thinking he was going to meet him (and it probably would have worked). But there was no one near him. He could have made a much lighter pass and not led him so much, and no one would have been anywhere close to intercepting it. Just a brutal way to lose a game. Up 4 with 20 seconds left, and lose.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 05:12 PM) Those are awesome. Although they shouldn't go too overboard. A bad background could make it a lot harder for players to see the lines. I think it's a cool on "paper" but not in reality. Yes it would be confusing for players, that's a definite issue. It would also look stupid from anywhere not on the TV side and up high a bit.

Southern needs to pull this off so we get one more game with the Southern male cheerleader uniforms. Those things are...interesting.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 02:32 PM) Early theme: bad offense. New theme: Having a lead with under 10 seconds not being able to keep the ball in bounds.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 04:46 PM) Man Davidson had this locked down and couldn't defend the 3 ball. And then threw it out of bounds, or they still would have been fine.
