March 20, 200917 yr QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Mar 19, 2009 -> 08:19 PM) As I said Pittmann and Abrams would destroy. We just let Abrams run wild on the perimeter, and it destroyed us in the end. It's a shame, especially since it could have been avoided if we actually played defense on him, but oh well. We'll be back next year and might win a few. Good season, I'm glad we made the tournament despite the quick exit. This team is going to be fun to watch in these next few years.
March 20, 200917 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 19, 2009 -> 11:10 PM) Damn. There goes my Cinderella VCU. Nice comeback though. Me too, I had them going several rounds.
March 20, 200917 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 20, 2009 -> 01:31 PM) Byron Eaton with the first sick late finish of the tourney. Not over though. Whoever took that ball down the court after the free throw should get cut. Way to be prepared Bruce.
March 21, 200917 yr Surprised no one has mentioned Wisconsin's OT win over FSU yet. Second best game of the tournament so far behind tOSU and Siena's double OT thriller. Last night was damn entertaining.

Very nice win for Wisconsin. Score one for the Big-10.

March 21, 200917 yr Villanova is physically manhandling UCLA. This is hilarious. I hate to sound redundant. But again, how good is the Big East? I've never seen one conference with this much depth before in my life.

March 21, 200917 yr I still cant believe Wisconsin won. Not that I thought they would lose before the game started, but when they were down 12 it looked pretty bleak. Edit: And games like OSU/Sienna and Wisconsin/FSU are why the Big 10 gets the benefit of the doubt when it comes to being in the NCAA tournament. Big 10 games are usually competitive so it makes for good tv. Edited March 21, 200917 yr by Soxbadger
March 21, 200917 yr I picked Wisconsin, so I'm pretty pleased with their win. Despite that, I still wasn't rooting for them Nice to see my bracket be right about something for once though.
March 21, 200917 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 21, 2009 -> 01:18 PM) Leonard Hamilton sure can recruit, but man does he suck at coaching. Just because he lost a game he sucks at coaching? Why not give Wisconsin credit? FSU has a young team and they will be back.
March 22, 200917 yr What a play by Scheyer to loft it down court behind his back in the remaining seconds. I love the way they're playing but history and my opinion says that Villanova is going to kick our ass.

I didn't really mean it that way, but he really does suck at coaching. Florida State has had talent for years and this is the first time they've come close to living up to it. Granted, they have a ton more talent than previous years, but I have 0 respect for Hamilton as a game coach.
March 22, 200917 yr QUOTE (mr_genius @ Mar 22, 2009 -> 01:06 PM) lets to Wisconsin! beat xavier +1. And I hate Wisconsin. But for some reason I always root for our conference in the tourney. Well, except Indiana. f*** that school.
March 22, 200917 yr I could never root for Wisconsin due to their style. I understand that a lot of Big 10 teams play this abominable style of running shot clock and not scoring points, but they take it to an extreme. I felt dirty rooting for Illinois at times this year even with as much as I've always liked them because of how slow and ugly they played to be honest, it's just terrible to watch and now how the game is meant to be played in my opinion.

March 22, 200917 yr Normally I represent the Big Ten, but I gotta go with Xavier, I like that school.

At least when they had Harris or Tucker they had studs that were fun to watch. This team is horrifying to watch.
March 23, 200917 yr I have Pitt winning, but after 2 straight mediocre to bad performances, I'm not too confident about them over Xavier. Though Xavier doesn't rock my socks either.
March 27, 200917 yr I absolutely love the fact that the refs are calling every little ticky tack foul on Duke. Beautiful.
March 27, 200917 yr Predicting what Duke is going to do in the tourney is becoming too easy of late. Did anybody outside of a Duke fan expect anything less than what we saw tonight? They get exposed every year by physical/athletic teams.
