whitesoxfan99 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Curtis Shaw is a f***ing joke. He has no business refereeing any college basketball game let alone an elite 8 game. Edited March 28, 2010 by whitesoxfan99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 So when was the last Final Four without a number one seed? Has it ever happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan99 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 There wasn't any #1 seeds in 05-06 which was also a tournament filled with terrible basketball and no great teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan99 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 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.

Â 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.

knightni Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 He was there though. Â If the NCAA thing was magic, Notre Dame would have been handed the 1978 National Championship trophy.

Palehosefan Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 The UMass final four was vacated because Marcus Camby was paid. Memphis' final four was vacated because of Derrick Rose's faulty SAT score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke has to be the most overrated tourney team the last decade. So many high seedings with pretty awful comparative results.  Saw this nugget:  http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/tournament/2...tory?id=5037873  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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yeah, Izzo isn't going anywhere. That sounds like Oregon trying to get some candidates interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 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.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) Jordan Crawford should have been on there over a few of the guards like Collins and Reynolds. Edited March 29, 2010 by Palehosefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
