    I really don't get this logic. SOS is only impressive if you can beat some of the good teams you play IMO.

    I actually like Xavier and have mentioned that on here many times. My brother in law is vice prez at Franklin Savings so I'm in their suite at X games 8-10 times a year. I have plenty of respect for their history but this year you are the only person in Cincy I know that actually thinks Xavier is better than UC. I could care less than you think that but you bash UC every opportunity you get.

    No I'm not and you know it. Mick hasn't even convinced the fanbase enough to sell out 5/3.

    That might just be because Mick is an asshole though. If he left I think I might like UC. I honest to god liked UC more with Huggins there. Huggins always was honest and accepted the blame for a loss. Mick? Well Mick last night said he'd rather lose than win.

    Anyone else see similarities yet between these two coaches come tourney time?

    Wowzers, how did Cuse just tie this game up.
  • Hb31187
    Is it Kemba time again?
  • Iliketurtles
    Just saw Cuse tied it up. I might have to switch over to this game maybe we will have another 6 OT thriller.

    God I love watching this UConn team, hope they make a run in the tourney.
  • killer_ewok
    It's just Kemba's tourney. Nice late rally by the Orange.

    Time to gear up for the NCAA's.

    lol.

    Irish are playing well.

    ND finally stopped making every shot.


    Don't think anyone expected UConn and Louisville in the finals.

    Its funny, at the start of the tounry, no way. But you look at each match-up individually, and Im really not shocked at the results. Now, you certainly dont expect a team to go on a run like UCONN, or for LVille to beat ND, or whatever. But at the same time, looking at a game by game basis, not too far fetched.
  • karen lotz
    As good as Scott Martin was tonight, Hansbrough was equally as bad. Took some really bad shots down the stretch and had some bad turnovers. They probably went to the Burn a little too early.

    I liked Louisville to reach the title game, but I definitely didn't expect UConn to be there.

    didn't help that ben was out at the bars past one last night. heart broken bout this loss, but i'll live.
  • dave
    Almost time to see if Kemba can do it for a 5th straight day. With BYU and Texas getting blown out this could be for a #2 seed.

    Going down to the wire.

    If UConn pulls this off, it's absolutely amazing.
