Reggie Johnson doesnt travel with team to DC. Other than eating up some minutes, nothing will be missed. I cant believe how much him breaking his thumb has derailed his season. He went from 12.5/10reb a game to 4.5ppg in the 19 games since his return.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Mar 25, 2013 -> 08:59 AM) Costa Rica filed protest for the game to be replayed. As for Mexico, losing Jones hurts. He plays much better than he generally gets credit for from most American fans. Hopefully Klinsmann doesn't try to make up for it by playing an extra DM. Personally, I'd sub Edu in for Goodson at CB since Edu provides more speed and athleticism and insert Kljestan in for Jones to pair with Bradley in the middle. I'd also like to see Shea or even Corona in for Zusi to provide some more width Jones got off to a rocky start because we all had huge expectations coming with his arrival. Injuries and then slow adjustments to CONCACAF style of play kinda got him off to a slow start but he's become really good over the qualifying run. Costa Rica can cry all they want but its not going to happen. Plus Dempsey has said no formal protest was made in his presence so there goes Step 1 of the protest process.

I wonder if Chris Sale had FGCU going to the Sweet 16.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 24, 2013 -> 11:17 PM) f*** you refs for stealing our chance to win the game. I honestly have no idea how anyone defends college officials. Try f***ing suck. bad call there but Kadji got hammered atleast 3 times while shooting the ball and got nothing from the refs.

Shane Larkin, youre so Sweet!

Reggie has been completely useless since breaking his thumb. The guy use to have decent hands and was an automatic 12-15 points per game. Now he's a liability. I think Larranaga was just trying to eat some minutes with Reggie to keep Gamble from picking up a foul or two with the lead. I cant imagine Reggie getting the majority of the second half minutes between the two.

San Diego St sucks. They cant even beat a golf team.

nothing like a 11-51 combined start for Kansas-UNC in the first 13.

Jones is out of the Mexico match due to injury. Since we were most likely going to lose anyways, atleast he wont be getting his second yellow card because we'll need him in June at Jamaica. If we can survive the opening 20-30 minutes then all the pressure will really weigh on Mexico.

whoever that is playing that video game must suck. To have only 8 goals scored against the CPU when playing 20 minute periods is pretty bad.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Mar 23, 2013 -> 03:40 PM) Is this really a tournament or just a bunch of practice games? Either way, Evansville has won twice. No clue who they play next because there is no actual bracket! lol

I'm only using Indiana because for the most part they have been viewed as the top team in the country for much of the year.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 24, 2013 -> 05:16 PM) This game shows how poorly the tournament is seeded. Temple was seriously a f***ing 9 seed? That was one hell of a team, they play almost any other team in the country that well and they win. People keep saying that but I'm not buying how poorly some teams are seeded. The parity is so great now that there isnt much difference from teams seeded 1-12. Look at these top seeds compared to previous champions. Could you imagine Indiana going up against the two Roy Williams UNC title teams or those Florida teams that went back to back? That Kansas team that beat Memphis?

Temple crumbled when it got down to winning time. And I know Wyatt was the only reason Temple had a chance but there were 2 possessions in the final minutes where he didnt even try to get the ball in his hands.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 24, 2013 -> 02:53 PM) He said that Thurs morning. Said Mountain West and Pac12 were better. And he's going to keep saying that because people are still talking about him and being so sensitive. One guy has said the Big 10 is overrated and everyone clings to that person. I cant stand the NBA but I find the post game show with him and Kenny entertaining. But its a slap in the face to Greg Anthony to work with those two when those two probably watch 200 total minutes of college basketball all year. Chuck and Kenny are as vague as possible when analyzing teams because they dont know anything about them. Its a trainwreck.

stupid defense. look across the court and you know its under 5. a jump shot is coming.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 24, 2013 -> 02:22 PM) I'm not calling fouls on a loose ball in this game. Come on. A possession without Thomas touching the ball is ridiculous. i'm not for ticky tack fouls in those situations but you cant go through someone's back and not get the ball.

the under 4 TO couldnt come soon enough.

Did Rose go to Dr Andrews? Just asking because everyone who goes to see that guy mysteriously becomes a super human and heals so quick....

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 10:56 PM) Dempsey taken down in the box in front of the ref no call. I dont think the ref was bad but he missed that call and called a foul on every free kick for us. And I thought sitting through the first WCQ in a driving rain in Tampa was bad.

way to run yourself into the corner, moron.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 03:42 PM) That looked clean to me. It was clean. The ref didnt see the foul based on him blowing the whistle after the ball was rebounded by NCST. he just figured it had to have been a foul.

I have 2 brackets going on. One is with a friend and winner takes the other out for dinner. I took LaSalle. The other money pool with 45 people in it, I took Kansas St. That is the only pick that is different between the two brackets. f*** me.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 02:33 PM) NCST is brutal right now. They were a favorite preseason. Gottfried is a bad coach. All that talent and he blew it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 22, 2013 -> 02:45 PM) This game reminded me of the commericial where Charles Barkley is calling the kids basketball game in the driveway. "Mikey is 1 for 36" lol, that's a good commercial. Its funny, the older I get and the more I watch college games, the worse my bracket is.
