Runnin' Elite Eight thread

Hey keep quiet. I was at a wedding all day and saw about two minutes of the Memphis game and not a second of Kansas.

The ironic part (at least in an Alanis Morrissette way)? The groom is the biggest college basketball fan I know. *whipping souind*

 

Still not sure why Kansas would have been the fourth, either, given the Florida victory and sweeping conference titles.

Had UCLA been No. 1 and KU No. 2 in the West, I would have been fine with that. Reward the No. 1 seed. But don't make KU a No. 1 seed in name only and have the Bruins play four in-state games on the way to Atlanta. This is the second time in as many years the Bruins have reaped No. 1-seed rewards as a No. 2. Just doesn't seem right to me.

 

I hate my office pool. After a shit first-round, I am now kicking ass. But since the point structure is the same for every round, I'm screwed.

WHY CAN'T FOOLS UNDERSTAND THAT TO CORRECTLY PICK THE LATER ROUNDS IS HARDER THAN THE EARLY ROUNDS?

 

Screw you!!! WHY CAN'T FOOLS UNDERSTAND THAT TO PERFECTLY PICK THE ELITE EIGHT IS HARDER THAN THE FINAL FOUR?

Sorry. I'm grumpy.

 

UCLA has one of best man to man defenses I have ever watched.

 

UCLA surrendered 25 turnovers, one hell of a lot of them pure steals, and held Kansas to 55 points. That speaks of almost superhuman defense.

 

Not this year.

 

I think it should be a rule for Oregon to wear that neon yellow uniform every game. The blacks, though sweet, aren't as good.

 

What a dunk by Bryce Taylor on Horford. Wow!

 

Did JB just say "He's got a nice package down low?"

 

The Georgetown-NC game is fascinating. The teams couldn't be more different. I hope the big guys stay out of foul trouble, which is a longshot.

 

James Brown was shocked that caucasian Adam Zahn is Oregon's best leaper.
