NCAA tournament 2011 — running thread

Down to seven with 2:30 left.

 

UCLA may avoid the biggest gag job in NCAA history by mere seconds.

 

UCLA's gonna run out of time to fuck this up.

 

Crying shame. Didn't deserve to win that, at all.

 

Possibly the first time I've ever seen a team win while making two of its last 32 free throws.

 

And you-all thought the Dookies had a monopoly of prissy, chatty, snotty bitches.

 

Great moments in general Saratoga geography . . .

 

I have to cover up the scoreboard on top of the video-only page of March Madness on demand because it's about a minute-and-a-half ahead of the webcast.

 

So you picked Missouri, too. But I did also pick Gonzaga over St. John's. That may have been the easiest upset pick of the whole tournament.

 

So one bad season erases a decade of great ones, a national title (even if it was 11 years ago now), six Final Fours in a 10-year span and the last two Big Ten regular-season titles before this one?
Tough crowd.
Obviously not a great year by Izzo's standards, but it's hard to say the man is losing his touch. Izzo's earned a verbal hummer or two.

 

Mizzou's only win down the stretch was against a shitty Texas Tech team with a lame duck coach. Everyone else handed them their lunch. That performance tonight was as predictable as my next bowel movement.

 

Dick Vitale is high on Izzo, you know.
