Curtis Shaw is a f***ing joke. He has no business refereeing any college basketball game let alone an elite 8 game.

So when was the last Final Four without a number one seed? Has it ever happened?

There wasn't any #1 seeds in 05-06 which was also a tournament filled with terrible basketball and no great teams.

Well let's just hope Duke goes out as well.

Looks like Calipari still has no final 4's.

BTW is it just me or has this tournament really sucked outside of the first day? Obviously there have been some great games (MSU/Maryland, Xavier/KSU, etc.) but for the most part outside of the first day there has been blowouts and terrible basketball being played.

There has been some hideous basketball played this year, but I do have to say that I'm enjoying the fact that a typical superpower is most likely not going to win it all this year.

Didn't he coach in the National Championship game with Memphis?

He was also in the '96 Final Four with UMass.

The Memphis season was stripped away.

Memphis's season has been forfeited due to player infractions and it no longer counts, so, while Memphis made it, it doesn't count anymore.

He was there though.

 

If the NCAA thing was magic, Notre Dame would have been handed the 1978 National Championship trophy.

 

All the other members of the Final Four that year were stripped from the record books due to NCAA rules violations.

It doesnt matter if he was there, it doesnt count

I love it. There's no coach I hate more than John Calipari.

 

At least there's always next year for Kentucky... oh wait, all of their main contributors will be in the NBA. Guess they'll be relying on freshman talent again.

The national championship game doesnt count anymore either, so strike that from Kansas's record too, cause the rules say it didnt happen

The UMass final four was vacated because Marcus Camby was paid. Memphis' final four was vacated because of Derrick Rose's faulty SAT score.

Don't worry, I'm sure there's still money leftover to pay next year's recruiting class.

Indeed. John Calipari coached players don't get rich in the NBA, they get rich while playing for John Calipari.

Nice to finally see some high level basketball after the last couple of days. MSU/Tenn game has been really good.

Stat of the day

 

Coach K is now 12-1 in Elite Eight games.

Pat Boyle is probably creaming his pants his Spartans are in the final four.

Is it really that tough when the majority of the time he's given the weakest region of the bracket? Duke has to be the most overrated tourney team the last decade. So many high seedings with pretty awful comparative results.

 

Saw this nugget:

Why on earth would Izzo want to leave? He's already rich, he's got one of the better programs in the nation contending on a yearly basis. Doesn't make sense.

Yeah, Izzo isn't going anywhere. That sounds like Oregon trying to get some candidates interested.

There was a Real Sports HBO piece on Izzo a few weeks ago. Other than a six week stint as an assistant at Tulsa, he has never in his life lived outside of the state of Michigan. Oregon is trying to get some pub & interest for a big name hire, but yeah, its not gonna be Tom Izzo.

AP All-American teams announced

 

1st Team

John Wall

DeMarcus Cousins

Wesley Johnson

Evan Turner

Scottie Reynolds

 

2nd Team

James Anderson

Sherron Collins

Greivis Vasquez

Jon Scheyer

Da"Sean Butler

 

3rd Team

Greg Monroe

Cole Aldrich

Damion James

Luke Harangody

Darington Hobson

 

I would have flipped Reynolds and Anderson and not sure Collins really deserved the 2nd team this year. Would have liked to have seen Jimmer Fredette get some recognition.

 

Jordan Crawford should have been on there over a few of the guards like Collins and Reynolds.
