NCAA Tournament: Regional Semifinal Random Chatter

  Syracuse headed to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2003 (won the national championship).
• reclegend22

  

  So apparently that last play was designed to specifically send Syracuse to the Elite Eight.
  
  As everyone else here seems to agree, that was one of the worst end-game demonstrations of all-time.
  
  Congrats to the Orangemen. It's been quite a year in central New York.

  If Michigan State (currently trailing Louisiville) and Ohio State fall tonight, watch the hype of a overrated Big Ten crap hit tomorrow...

  Makes 100% sense, CBF. Familiarity can be dangerous. Good luck tonight.

  Thanks, rec.

  Big East about to go 2-0 vs the Big Ten if MSU doesn't turn it around now.

  And all 3 losses would have come at the hands of the Big East. I don't think all 3 B1G teams lose tonight though.

  ESPN loves the Big East like they do the SEC in football.

  Gorgui Dieng is really solid defensively.
• reclegend22

  

  Izzo is a hell of a coach, but I'd also like to see Pitino get to another Final Four. He's one of the game's true greats, and, had he stayed at UK and said no to the excesses of the NBA, Pitino would already have over 800 wins by now and rings adorning several fingers.
  
  Pitino versus Donovan in the regional final would be a pretty intriguing mentor-pupil duel.
• Tiger2003

  

  I love the Big Ten. But I have always been a huge Pitino fan.

  Chance for 2 here with the clock stopped.
• Mulva

  

  Payne just completely fell asleep.

  That missed foul shot and bucket just summed up the MSU game. Epic fail.
• killer_ewok

  

  9 point deficit with 2:00 left in this low-scoring game...it's over.
• Terry_Tate

  

  This is just embarrassing for Michigan State. It's on Ohio State and Indiana to carry the B1G flag from here on out.
• ptown_trojans_1

  

  There went my bracket. Damn.
• Mulva

  

  I don't think Izzo has a right to complain. If he made the free throw and then they caught it the point would have been taken off of the board.
• Tiger2003

  

  Wtf. This doesn't seem right.
• Terry_Tate

  

  There HAS to be a GIF made of Izzo there going "What the fuck?"
• Tiger2003

  

  Great game MSU.
• ou1980

  If the Buckeyes lose to Cincy, I'm going to be really pissed...

  Does picking Louisville to go the national championship last year still count? Stupid Louisville, a year late damn it. With Duke bowing out prematurely (or perhaps maturely), that's two years that I've wildly failed.
• Tiger2003

  

  Louisville is UCONN.
