They foul McNamara. UConn is so f***ing stupid, that may be their downfall in the bigger tourney.

Is it me or does it always look like Mcnamara is crying?

yeesh, nice shot by Denham.

Wow, WHAT A SHOT. That was almost impossible by Brown.

Watkins is fouled, great job by UConn keeping it away from McNamara. Makes the first to get to 3-3 today, AND THE 2ND. Wow.....STEAL and missed layup!! BROWN FOR THREE!!! FOUL with 17.4!!

 

WTF?!!?!

Um.....................

holy s***.

steal the inbound pass, miss an open layup, uconn comes down and hits the 3.

85-84, mcnamara on the line, 17.4 left

uconn ball, 5.6 left.

McNamara makes the 1st, 2nd NO GOOD! HELD BALL UCONN BALL! 5.6 LEFT!! WOW THIS IS INSANE!!

No good CUSE WINS

NO GOOD, IN AND OUT!! SYRACUSE WINS!

 

WHOA!

and syracuse throws a giant monkey wrench into everything, beating uconn 86-84 in an absolute thriller.

GW loses, 'Cuse is now in, I'm very happy SIU is no longer on the bubble.

Well 2 bubbles have popped in the last half an hour. GW and somebody else are in out of the A 10 and Syracuse is in out of the Big East.

UCONN chokes big time.

 

Was Rudy Gay even on the floor? Cause he didn't do s*** all game.

 

Until they put together 40 minutes of D where they don't let people penetrate and get wide open shots, they are so beatable its not even funny.

 

At this point they're not Final 4 on my bracket.

The last team that won a National Championship without at least two future NBA players on the roster was the 1988 Kansas squad led by Danny Manning. Something to keep in mind when filling out your brackets.

 

Kelvin Pritchard was actually the first player ever signed by the Vancouver Grizzlies.

McNamara with 2 straight Carmelo games for the Cuse to get them in, wow.

UCONN chokes big time.

Everyone is beatable, but who's better? Nova? Duke? Memphis? Gonzaga? I don't think so.

You may be right, but to this point it hasn't really hurt them.

this is going to be one of the most fun tournaments in recent memory. No one really has any clue how anything is going to shake out.

I was sure that I was going to pick uConn to at least make it to the championship game, now i'm not so sure.

 

It's going to be an absolutely crazy few weeks.

Unbelievable game. The passion these kids have is amazing. It's so refreshing compared to the selfish bums in the NBA. McNamara is simply clutch!

This sucks, every game I watch makes me think more and more Illinois could make another crazy run if they get the right bracket. It's soooooooooo wide open.

You may be right, but to this point it hasn't really hurt them.

Well their last two games...

 

Beat Louisville by 4 at home. Played horrible.

 

Then they lose to Syracuse who is a fringe tourney team (of course they are in with this win).

 

They're not the best team, I'd take Villanova and Duke over them right now.

BTW, at the end of regulation you saw why you foul up 3 with under 10 seconds left. If UConn does that, they win the game.

I've totally lost track of everything now. Now Cuse is in. That much is certain. Who's got the best chance of getting in after the GW loss?
