Washington is playing their normal D...Utah State shooting around 53%

 

There, fixed it.

Utah State guard David Pak had two points and five assists in his final college game.

 

The 29-year-old starter served eight years in prison for raping a woman at knifepoint as a teenager. After completing his sentence, he played two years at a community college before joining the Aggies for his final two years of eligibility.

 

What the hell?

What the hell?

Yup. True story.

Doesn't sound like a guy I'd want in my program.

If Randle can even contain him, I like our chances.

 

As do I, but Washington isn't just the Brandon Roy show. They've got a couple of first year guys in Jon Brockman and Justin Dentmon who both made the PAC-10 all freshman team. Jamaal Williams and Bobby Jones are both pretty solid. Ryan Appleby is another guy I'm worried about. He can flat kill you from 3 if you allow it.

Maybe the most encouraging part of the Illini win besides the supporting cast: 12 for 14 on free throws, despite the fact that none of the 14 free throws were attempted by Rich McBride, who is far and away the team leader in FT percentage.

it was good to see the free throw shooting improve, no doubt.

 

the bench play was very encouraging. if you told people that dee didn't take a shot in the second half and augie had only 10 points they'd probably tell you illinois got beat, maybe even badly. but jamar, carter and randle really stepped up offensively. even pruitt had a nice offensive game, but he didn't play as much due to match-ups.

 

now the key is to maintain. this team has not responded to success well all year long. if there is any letdown against washington, this season will be over.

michigan st game has tipped off

Albany not buying into big bad UConn. UConn up just one, 31-30 at the half.

i wouldnt mind a uconn loss, im prob the only one in my pool who doesnt have them winning it all, still early, george mason is beating mich st btw

While an Albany win would totally destroy my bracket, it'd be f***in awesome anyways.

 

 

On a side note, George Mason may end up helping my bracket a bit.

I am cheering against my champion...............

As am I. Good thing I'm not in any money pools.

 

Albany up 7.

Albany up 10, 12 minutes left.

 

George Mason up 1, 5:39 left.

UConn losing would bust me too, but big damned deal. I'd love to see that upset!

Count me in the group that is cheering against their champion.

George Mason up 9.

I'd cheer for a 16 seed unless it was Iowa, Northern Iowa, Kansas, Texas or Hampton. And the first four wouldn't be real likely.

I don't see any reason that CBS ever needs to go to commercial.

 

Oh, Albany up 12.

Hampton

GMU just f***ing MSU up down low here late.

 

GMU up 9, 2:41.

C'mon Albany, don't lose your composure

Albany. Use it. ->

f*** it. If MSU isn't coming back, I want Albany to win. 55 of the 157 people in our pool have UConn winning the whole thing. I have them losing to Duke though.

I hope albany wins i dont have them in my final four for money pool lol i took a chance, id love to see the upset, also i picked george mason in my pool
