NCAA Basketball Tournament Thread

Recommended Posts

Halftime of UNC/ISU means bonus coverage of Vermont/Michigan State. Sorrentine, the kid who knocked down the extra-long game-winning three against Syracuse, is fearless out there. Michigan State keeps him from dribbling in? He just throws it up, and hits it. 4/6 from 3-point range so far, and most of those are from NBA-distance.

 

I'm so glad I skipped a review session for today's games.

Sorrentine is nasty. He played for a back to back H.S. chamipnship team where his dad coaches. Being right down the street from my house I got to see him play plenty back then.

How IN THE LIVING FUCK can you look so god damn good against Kentucky and dominate them in every single way and completely collapse against a team thats more pesky than good. I expect this from the Gators in recent years not here. Complete bullshit.

Because Florida is overrated and a consistent Tournament Choke Artist.

 

And Villanova has better defense and a couple explosive shooters. And don't forget, Florida also collapsed and blew a 20 pt lead to the much worse Ohio school two days ago.

Florida is a football school and they would have been knocked out in the second round by Mrs. Spielman's third grade kickball/four square/basketball team if they faced them.

 

When it comes to the NCAA tournament, the Gators just don't seem to play like they know what they are doing or even care.

Heres the thing, I expected the Gators to choke in recent years, cause they werent a team built for March. Billy self-admittedly recruited too many athletes and not enough basketball players. He went back to recruiting players this year and that combined with a new defensive scheme carried them especially towards the end of the year. If you saw these guys completely destroy Kentucky in the SEC Title game you wouldnt be so dissmissive. Its incredible how one bad 8 minute stretch against a mid-major completely psychologically killed this team. They were so much better than this.

I did watch that game. And I still said they would be out in the first two rounds. It's just how Florida is. That Elite Eight run was a major fluke, and I'm not sure if it's Donovan the coach or just the attitude of the players.

I had Nova beating Florida. Now I'm having a good day in the tourney. The teams I actually got right in the first round are now doing what i have them doing in my bracket.

As someone who lives in the state I'm tellin you its the players. It will probably take another good recruiting class and Roberson making a decision to jump to the pros (although he may not get drafted Anthony isnt exactly known for his brain) to flush out the fat. However any coach who goes tthe sweet 16 one year and the final 4 the next is a damn good basketball coach and doesnt become dumb overnight. He got too greedy though and its cost Donovan the last few years.

Wow......U of L has jumped all over GT early. I have 21-8 right now. Jeez.

And I have Miss State playing close with Duke.

So even though U of L is a higher seed than GT would it still be considered an upset for U of L to win?

I've seen and kept it up with Louisville this year- not many teams are better then them and GT certainly isn't one of them.

 

I still say Louisville being a 4th seed is a joke

Yeah......I mean I like Louisville. Like I said I almost went there. So I mean I'm with you on them being capable. I guess GT in the ACC tourney just showed me something. However Louisville is going nuts right now.

The real question:

 

Which is your favorite?  The Wuss, The Suck-Up, or Mama's Boy?

The Suck-Up is my personal favorite one

 

*holding up OK sign* "Haha! Good one sir!"

Absolutely not. I have Louisville going Final 4

Well I mean most seemed to think that GT was better. Hell even I think that and I fucking hate GT.

Me, Iggy, and Skip Bayless, really.
