Lathum · 03-29-2008, 10:14 PM

so do all four #1 make it?

Its certainly possible, but Memphis is going to have a hell of a time beating Texas in Houston.

MizzouRah · 03-29-2008, 10:29 PM

Congratulations to NC!!! Would have LOVED to see Tyler in a Mizzou jersey.

MrBug708 · 03-30-2008, 12:41 AM

Heh. ESPN Is calling UCLA the Buffalo Bills of college basketball.

Methinks you're setting the bar for "Cinderella" too high, on some expectation that every Cinderella has to be like George Mason. Really, historically, anyone below a 5 is a Cinderella through the Elite 8. And anyone in a Final Four lower than a 3 is a fair description of a Cinderella, too, IMO.

Davidson is the definition of a Cinderella in all respects.

No F-- way! He said that? lmao

Long way to go yet, but I have to admit - my bracket be damned - I'd love to see Love and Hansbrough at it in the final.

I guess if WVU had won, then it would be a good game. But, really, it felt like Xavier had it in hand most of the game and then let it slip away- it wasn't some big herculean effort by West Virginia to get back in with a bunch of threes falling. Personally, I didn't find it all that exciting.

cartman · 03-30-2008, 01:33 PM

Geez, Texas looks completely flat so far.

MrBug708 · 03-30-2008, 01:39 PM

Rose is eating Augustine alive

Noop · 03-30-2008, 01:45 PM

Rose stepped his game up.

Noop · 03-30-2008, 01:46 PM

I am not sure why Texas is in a 2-3 zone.

Lathum · 03-30-2008, 01:46 PM

Augustine is trying to force it

Noop · 03-30-2008, 01:46 PM

Yeah Rose is the truth. I pray the Miami Heat draft him and build around him.

Lathum · 03-30-2008, 01:48 PM

Texas is just chucking up prayers right now

MrBug708 · 03-30-2008, 01:49 PM

I'm not sure who I want UCLA to face. I'd like revenge vs Texas for the loss this year but there is just something about Memphis

cartman · 03-30-2008, 01:51 PM

This game is like watching a replay of the Texas-USC game in the second round last year. Augustin is completely off his game.

Lathum · 03-30-2008, 01:58 PM

Just saw this off of a link on the WVU board about "why everyone hates Duke." It is only 15 seconds long, but fairly disturbing in Kyle Singler's behavior:

sterlingice · 03-30-2008, 02:10 PM

With Atchley out, it just looks like everyone on Memphis is taller than everyone on Texas.

Yea, the UNC board has been all over this for a few days. I honestly want to try and find a way to justify it, because even most of us Carolina fans don't think that everyone at Duke is a complete douche, but I really can't justify this.

Lathum · 03-30-2008, 02:16 PM

so did he scratch him, or just grab his jersey?

The general consensus is that he either a) grabbed his jersey or b) tried to give what we used to call titty-twisters.

Nipple, arm, whatever.

It's not a big deal, but it's just a bitch move. When I see that idiot playing basketball I will just remember this, and how much of a bitch I think he is. So if my opinion matters, then yeah, it's a big deal!

Lathum · 03-30-2008, 02:26 PM

I agree, bitch move is the exact term I was thinking. But WVU got the last laugh

Well, I do think it's a somewhat of a big deal in terms of Duke, where we hear all the time about character, leadership, etc. from Coach K in his commercials, Pressers, everything. This kid obviously did something that doesn't reek of character, even if it isn't actually a really big deal.

Full Disclosure: I am a die-hard Carolina fan.

Lathum · 03-30-2008, 02:36 PM

continuation rule is the dumbest thing in basketball

MJ4H · 03-30-2008, 02:40 PM

I'm in the "if it wasn't Duke we wouldn't be talking about it" camp.

I'd love to see Davidson keep the dream going. It's fun to watch, especially from such a small liberal arts college (though not a bad endowment at all...) to be at this level is really neat.

I've been drinking with him before, he is a rowdy fellow, don't let the calm exterior fool you

cartman · 03-30-2008, 03:17 PM

If you would have told me that Texas would have made it to the Elite 8 the season after Durant left, I wouldn't have believed you. They had a great run this season, too bad it will end with their worst performance of the season.

cartman · 03-30-2008, 03:23 PM

Dola,

I have to drive up to Ft. Worth tonight, so no drowning my basketball sorrows in sweet, sweet beer until later.

I hate these last 3 minutes of college basketball games.

Memphis is up by 15 and these last 3 minutes are going to take forever.

Miami was down by 15 to Texas with four minutes to play, and got the game to be decided on the final possession.

But Memphis is shooting lights out from the free throw line.

You can't blame Texas considering the FT troubles Memphis has had this year. Although, I agree that I would just like to get onto the next game which will hopefully be more competitive.

kingfc22 · 03-30-2008, 03:31 PM

Can somebody tell Texas to stop fouling! You lost already.

Galaxy · 03-30-2008, 03:46 PM

UCLA vs. Memphis should be a fun game to watch.

How good is Davidson? I know Curry can light them up.

Eaglesfan27 · 03-30-2008, 04:12 PM

Great energy from Davidson early in the game.
