Re: Nobody here Like NCAA Basketball?

This is what makes College hoops great, upsets are part of the game!

Lehigh and NS played a great games, good thing I decided not to fill out brackets this year.

One crazy one with Uconn doing well and making it to the sweet 16 ( yes that is well for them) along with Mizz making to the final four. The other two I am doing not bad, ND losing last night surprised me at I really hope Huggy bear did I better. But both of those I had a second round exit, so even though I have a couple ahead of me my overall best possible score is still at the top.

Even though I am a Syracuse fan, no bracket showed them higher than Elite 8 with most going out shortly. They have a amazing team ,but their two seniors have had absolutely terrible games lately.

Re: Nobody here Like NCAA Basketball?

I never saw Notre Dame going very far. They are just not a good team on either side of the court this year.

The duke loss made me happy because they have been the most over rated team all year. Was a shocker to watch Mizzou loss, I don't much care for their coach though, seems like he rode the coat tails of talented players all year.

I like coach K but I hate Duke. Mizzou is good against guard teams, but not good against big teams. Watching SU against K State
 
Re: Nobody here Like NCAA Basketball?

Syracuse finally had the rest of their team show up and play, it also helps when you can keep some fresher legs on the court and wear down the other team.

JB thinks the world of him though and hopefully that don't bite us in the end. My boy CJ is in some serious funk. That kid is very good and everything is trouble for him right now.
 
Re: Nobody here Like NCAA Basketball?

Iowa State is giving Kentucky a hard time right now.
 
Re: Nobody here Like NCAA Basketball?

As a Cane fan who is ticked that Frank Haith basically wrecked our team while he was here and is still hurting us (his ethics are... questionable) - that Missouri loss couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

No, Kentucky didn't miss many shots at all it was very impressive.
 
Re: Nobody here Like NCAA Basketball?

Nice job NC State Hoyas are a good team. I think this year has been good games for the most part. Not to many challenges ahead for Kentucky until the finals.

Re: Nobody here Like NCAA Basketball?

I gotta root for the ACC, even if that means UNC or the 'Pack. [yuck, just threw up a little in my mouth...]
 
Re: Nobody here Like NCAA Basketball?

4 teams from Ohio in the Sweet 16. Pretty impressive. My final four stays the same: Kentucky, Michigan State, Ohio State, KU. North Carolina looked really solid last night, but their point guard breaking his wrist is going to have an impact.
 
Re: Nobody here Like NCAA Basketball?

Cincinnati killed me, as I had Florida St. going to the Final Four. Great game, though.

I now only have KU and KY alive for the FF, with KU winning. After seeing how poorly KU played in the first 38 minutes against Purdue, I highly doubt that game will happen, and if it does, KY will destroy them. I had NC State as my Cinderella, but didn't have them beating KU. After watching them beat GT, (and seeing Kansas mostly suck) I honestly think the Wolfpack can win that game.

For those of who follow the ACC, the officiating sucks. They are the most biased and ticky-tack foul callers on the planet.

Enter my Wolfpack... all year during the ACC regular season they have never been ranked because they have had foul trouble in every game. For the NCAA tournament, there are SEC refs that let the kids play and now the Pack is playing strong against solid competition. I think the ACC needs to wipe their ref slate clean... get rid of the whole bunch and start over. The Refs they have now are obviously inserting themselves into games in a way that is influencing the outcomes. Duke out and NCSU in at this point?... not sure anyone had that in their bracket.

I think officiating thru the whole tournament thus far has been crappy. They will obviously favor the lesser team when going up against a higher rank. I watched Michigan State get ANYTHING and everything called on them last night. It was pretty poor officiating. And I don't like either of the teams playing, but it pissed me off.

Re: Nobody here Like NCAA Basketball?

I've been saying it for years now. The refs should NOT be an influence on the game. Let the players sort it out on the court. If you are going to make calls, make them down the middle. This one sided crap has got to stop, because they are effectively costing good teams their big games.

I watched West Virginia get ROBBED out of two hard fought wins because the refs were to stupid to look at the plays on the monitors. I also watched TN get robbed of their tournament spot bc a ref missed a crucial out of bounds play that was off Henry's chin.

Dont even get me started on this new charge/block rule they have enforced. The offensive player literally has no chance of going to the rack now.

Hopefully my Jayhawks play a little better Friday, they barely squeaked by last night.

Kansas is also a very good team, they just need to come ready to play, it won't be a cake walk.

Cuse squeak by and Louisville knocks Michigan State off, what a night.

Re: Nobody here Like NCAA Basketball?

I didn't get to watch it but I get to watch all the games tonight.
 
Re: Nobody here Like NCAA Basketball?

Got a couple good games coming up Sunday Baylor and Kentucky then Kansas plays North Carolina.
 
Re: Nobody here Like NCAA Basketball?

Good college ball being played everywhere. I am still upset with the refs, they are trying to slow the games down and dictate the flow with their whistles.

They need to call the obvious and shut up with the rest. They should realize it's not about them, it's about those guys busting their asses on the court.
 
Re: Nobody here Like NCAA Basketball?

They let Kansas and NC State play, it was a rough and physical game.

Damned if you ain't right, gotta love it when the news app reports the opposite team won.
 
Re: Nobody here Like NCAA Basketball?

Well at least there was one good game today. It was even better that it involved my Jayhawks winning.
