I would love for MSU to knock off Duke. And the way their playin it may happen. Plus I can still win my pool in Duke loses.

Oh, and taking away that basket is fucking bullshit. If the criterion is the ball going through the rim, he had it by a good couple inches.

I have to say, for all the talk about Duke getting calls, Shelden Williams never gets one. That was the only one all day that you could classify as a real foul, but it's still pretty ticky tack. If you remember, Williams got some pretty bullshit fouls called against him in the Final Four last year too.

Well, my bracket's officially fucked now. If I had Duke and Illinois, I still had a shot, but this Michigan State thing ends it. I probably still have a shot at second in my pool just for Illinois winning it all, but I'm really not going to follow the tournament all that closely now. I really can't believe how bad I fucked up my picks this year.

Yeah the 3 good teams in the Big 10. Minnesota, and Iowa played horribly in their tourney game, and Indiana didn't bother to show up in their home NIT game.

So much for all the critics who said the Big 10 and Pac 10 were down this year. And the ACC's takeover looks like it ended at 16. And UNC is trailing at the half as well.

 

Hats off to the Big East, totally catching everyone off guard.

My bracket is pretty much done now. I should have known better than to bet on Duke *not* choking.

 

I knew Duke was dead after that Delaware State game. They just got horribly exposed in that game and it was shocking. Coach K looked like he was turning into the Indiana Bobby Knight a few times tonight.

 

Meanwhile Utah can't do a thing with UK so it looks like, barring a miracle, the SEC will add their first team to the Elite 8. And unless UNC gets rolling, the ACC will have no one.

Villanova was robbed with that BS traveling call, Although i must admit it looked like a travel in real time

 

Technically, it may have been a travel but heres the problem everybody travels to some degree or another. It wasnt that blatant and you just dont call that at a critical moment in a Sweet 16 game. Players should decide the game not officals.

The call was right, but that bump by the UNC player had a lot to do with it. That wasn't even balant traveling, which they haven't called all tournament. Still, it was the correct call.

 

You just HATE to see a game end on any touch call. And that was essentially a touch call.

Nova did get robbed. UNC is probably going to the Final Four now as I don't think Wisconsin has the personal to beat them.

What about MSU and Kentucky though? Who goes to the Final Four from that match?

Dam you were right, MSU gave it to Duke.

 

I pray you aren't right about Ill. over Louisville.

I pray that I'm not either. I want U of L to win.

 

I mean I go to OU and they are my favorite team ever. But I mean I did almost go to U of L and I like them a lot. Would it be like against the college fans rules to get a U of L hat?
