    Fuck yes I am still mad. Dude is a dirty bitch.
  • Azubuike24
    UT is making UMass their dirty bitch right now...
  • Azubuike24
    Damn, that was a sick ass catch and dunk by Jordan McRae. Best of the tourney thus far...
  • Laley23
    UMASS doesnt even look like they want to be there. Chaz Williams about the only guy with energy and emotion. Too little too late though, they are done.

    Lafayette is going to take Creighton down and I'm going to be pissed.

    Shawn Long needs to stay out of foul trouble for them to have a shot. He hasn't been good at that recently.

    Oh

    @laettnerbball: . Oh well....live and learn! But I will say this....this type of crap didn't happen from '89-'92!! #dukedynasty89-92
  • Azubuike24
    Laettner isn't at all a Duke homer. I'm sure he doesn't dislike Duke, but every time I've seen him discuss it, he's pretty unbiased.

    You guys see this?

  • Automatik
    I wasn't saying Coach K needs to go big and utilize a traditional 5....just have a balanced attack and some type of inside presence.

    They shot 36%, 37 of their 62 attempts were from 3 point land. Against...Mercer. LOL

    Wonder if he pays up.
  • wildcats20
    Stanford will get FTs. And then New Mexico will get 2 and the ball. Correct?
  • Midstate01
    According the the rules, that has to be a flagrant against stanford doesn't it??
  • wildcats20
    Stanford SHOULD be allowed to choose any player on the roster to shoot these FT's.

    I don't know if they do though?
  • Azubuike24
    If I'm a coach, I tell my players to stick my face right into the elbows of any guy trapped or after any contested rebound. The whole flagrant 1 for any elbow is somewhat ridiculous.
  • wildcats20
    You don't get to pick the shooter on a flagrant do you? Isn't it the guy who as fouled? Well he fouled out, so shouldn't Stanford get to pick the shooter?
  • Azubuike24
    Crazy stat. Since the tournament expanded in 1985, twenty 1 vs 16 games have been won by 12 or less points. Florida's win yesterday was #21. None of the previous 20 winners of those games won the national title...

    Doesn't bode well for the Gators (and possibly Arizona).
  • SportsAndLady
    Crazy stat buike.

    That tells me what we already knew..the winner of the tourney is the team who is playing their best ball in march. If you're not destroying 16 seeds, you're not playing your best ball
  • Azubuike24
    Which is crazy because sans Stephen F. Austin, Florida hasn't shown any signs of slowing down. One of the few teams who continued to get healthy and continued to improve...

    Arizona, I wouldn't be surprised, but I think many people weren't so confident in them despite having a cakewalk region...

    I've been wondering about this for years.
  • friendfromlowry

    Picked them in my pool....USA Today does good preview capsules on the tourney, and they were all over the potential upset.

    lol So Weber St. trying to make some magic happen
