The local kid Bynum was money there. This is the best game of the tournament, period.

It is definately one of them. That is for sure.

The St. Joe's-Okie State game was damn good too. This game is at least the best of the later rounds if not that game.

The Arizona-Florida game last night was awesome with Zona missing two shots at the end to win it, also who would have ever picked Georgia Tech to win the preseason NIT???

Well I think they could go to the final four, as well. ;)

Traveling on Miles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCREW YOU BILL $ELF!

Yeah I was thinking of the UAB/Washington game was great too, but this is definately at the top of the later rounds.

Good call instead of calling Miles for the offensive foul and putting GT on the line.

It's a shame Kansas even got to the Elite 8. They beat a 13, a 12, and a 9 seed to get here. They showed they deserved it though. But thankfully their season is over! G Tech 79-71!!!

Without Elder Georgia Tech is going to the Final Four!!!

 

 

 

I love it, once again, f*** Bill $elf!

Well once again, Bill Self gets outcoached in the big game. What happened to Wayne Simian, the guy who got Kansas back into the game?

 

TEch wins 79-71.

This is a great ass season for GT. They've really come out of no where this season being able to hang in the ACC after that hot start they had this season. They are well deserving of this bid to the final four.

for the record -- I know you all are waiting with baited breath --

 

0-for-18

Well, I had kentucky winning this region so I really didn't care too much about this game, and to think I originally had GT going to the final 4. Damn me and my second guessing.

As much as I hate to say it, GO DUKE. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes.

SELF SUCKS!!!! I HAD GEORGIA TECH IN MY SOXTALK BRACKET! GO XAVIER! PLAYA ITS GONNA BE ME VS U FOR THE BRACKET TITLE.

Deng w/ 2 fouls with 14 min to go in the first half....This will be interesting to see how Duke works with this.

Cry! Cry! Cry! Cry! Cry! :crying

 

Get over yourself man. Just because there hasn't been a buzzer-beater doesn't mean that there hasn't been some great games. Buzzer-beaters happen only once or twice per tournament anyway.

got Oklahoma State over UConn in the championship game. Unfortunately I had Kentucky in the Final Four like many others. Too bad I didn't go with GT

 

:angry:

 

 

 

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!!

Wa wa waaa!

 

:P :bang

Steve, I am now s***ting my pants because I am on the verge of my 3rd straght final four as a student.

NOPE. Back to Lawrence you go... :lol: :D :drink

Cry! Cry! Cry! Cry! Cry! :crying

I'm just upset that everyone went to the Norhwestern School of Last-Second-Shooting.

Seriously though, there is NO such thing as clutch shooting. One would expect that if the average shooting percentage for the entire tournament field is 40%, those last second shot should fall at a rate within a standard deviation of 40%. 40% of 18 is about 7. It would be resonable to expect at lest 5 of those 18 shots to fall. And this tourny has produced nothing of the sort.

Xavier up 30-28 at the half over Duke.....There's been some good defense, hence the shooting percentages are just around 30% in the first half.

 

I have a feeling this game's not going to end looking so close.

No clutch shooting? Are you kidding...

Clutch shooting doesn't have to be buzzer beaters.

 

Carroll and Allen both had clutch threes last night.

Then Bynum with the clutch three for Tech.

 

And that's just in the last two games.

 

You can have a clutch shot that isn't a buzzer beater.

I agree wtih willie, there haven't been any buzzer-beaters, but there's been aplenty of clutch shots. There are at least 2 games that are sticking out right now, that kansas game earlier today, that 3 sent it to OT, that's pretty clutch. And then the 'bama-SIU game. SIU scoring, then bama coming right back down and scoring, clutch.

it's all just your perception... the shots should still fall within one standard deviation of the norm.

 

A shot that is made in the first 10 seconds of the game is of the same value as the shot in the last 10 seconds... I'm just pointing out that they should be made at a better rate.
