Running NCAA men's tournament thread 2012

Can we chill... I'm just trying to engage in some conversations with some journalists about stuff I like to talk about. When I graduate college and find a job at a real paper, I may not have time to interact like this.

 

We can only hope.

 

Oh lord......

What a tremendous weekend of basketball and golf - order is restored to the world as Tiger is on top again and so are the real teams in college hoops.

There were 14 of 16 teams in the Sweet 16 from major conferences and then all 8 of Elite 8 - and the final four are all teams who will play - as opposed to burn clock and try to "limit possessions" and this is how it is supposed to be.

Wonderful.

 

Sadly, i dont think he's a caricature. Unfortunaltely, you'll have to play whack-a-mole when he sets up another account.

 

Lol. Whack-a-mole.

I wonder - is he dye-pack or boots?

 

Roy is what Roy is. He will bring in amazing talent. So amazing, that you expect him to win the title every year, but only one coach ever has come close to pulling that off.

I could not believe how good Kentucky looked in the first half. Holy hell does Cal have the group working together. They made Baylor look like a AA team playing a AAAA squad.

 

Neither.


Doodah, doodah!

 

Regarding this weekend's games, to each his own, Zag... the Louisville comeback was sweet - but beside that, I thought these games were deadly boring.

The Syracuse-Ohio St. game was especially hellish.. that fucking whistle blew practically every possession.... ticky tack fouls, phantom basket interference... just brutal to watch.

If this weekend is the zenith for college basketball, then the sport ain't that great.

 

The first half of the UNC-Kansas game was pretty damn good. And Kentucky's first half run against Baylor was just awe-inspiring.

 

As a whole, the tournament has been pretty dull this year. I'm usually a whole lot more into it than I am right now.

Not that this is the be-all and end-all, but has there been even one buzzer-beater this entire tournament? I don't remember any.

 

Can't wait. Talk about the idiots coming out in force!

This is Christmas, and I would forgo all my Christmas gifts for the net few years just for Louisville to win. I want nothing than for UK fans to just STFU for 5 minutes. Because that's all they can do and that's because they all would have just crapped themselves.

UK should win by 15, but give Pitino a week to prepare, and who knows what happens.

Plus, Matt Jones might drop over dead from the shock, and that's a plus for everyone.
