Runnin' Elite Eight thread

Get the flippin' net fixed already.

 

He also just added he "likes spurtability."
Nice.

 

Wow, Malik Hairston actually is having a good tournament. Nice to see him finally living up to the hype a little.

 

Hmmmmm, didn't realize I should root for Florida until just now when I checked the brackets I'm still alive in. GO FLORIDA! If they win, I'm probably taking home some cash this year. FINALLY!

 

best thing about this Oregon and UF game ending??

No more James Brown doing pbp. What a terrible decision by CBS Sports.

 

Come on Oregon. If Oregon wins I will most likely bring home $250.

 

I was about to say Oregon is in trouble and then they get the big steal. I think the Ducks are proving they are better than people think.

 

Good to see the refs are continuing to hose the lower seeds. That was a bullshit call against Oregon and I fear they are done.

 

Looks like a rematch of last year's title game.
As a UCLA fan, I'm glad. The Bruins have nothing to lose going into next week's game vs. the Gators. And, while this year's Florida team is nearly identical to last year, this year's Bruins is vastly superior. As talented as Farmar was, Collison is a better defender, a better 3-point shooter and a better penetrator. Also, Josh Shipp didn't play in last year's game and is a versatile wing player that can match up with Brewer. Sure, Horford and Noah are beasts underneath, but NO team in the tournament plays defense like the Bruins. I have a sneaking suspicion that Ben Howland has been working on a game plan for a rematch with the Gators since April of last year.

 

Sadly, I've gone 3 for 3 on Final Four picks, with Georgetown TBD. Great for my big-money pool, not so great for what I actually wanted to see happen.

 

This is some start to the Gtown-UNC game...on pace for 100 pts apiece. Don't like Gtown's chances if the pace keeps up.

 

That foul on Hibbert was a fucking crime. An absolute fucking crime. Typical, though.
