2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 Actually, after some very quick research, Villanova was an 8 seed when they won it all in 1985 and LSU was an 11 seed when they made the Final Four in 1986. Wow, go LSU. And even if they lose this game, damn does this L'ville team score a LOT of points. And Larry O'Bannon can hit from that foul line all day long.

I refuse to believe anyone from a major conference should be allowed to be called Cinderella. It just goes against the whole meaning of the world. Cinderella is someone no one expects. A Big East team going to the Final Four isn't much of a cinderella story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Big East team going to the Final Four isn't much of a cinderella story. I don't consider a 7 seed to really be a Cinderella... I consider a double-digit seed like NC State, a 10-seed, to be a Cinderella regardless of conference affiliation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Big East team going to the Final Four isn't much of a cinderella story. precisely. They were the middle of the class of the arguable #3 conference in america who got hot at the right time. Cinderella isn't the "seed" but rather the team who had zero right to be there but proved they were worthy. WVU; just because they are a 7 seed arent a cinderella.

Nine point lead with 40 seconds left? Over. I'm shocked no one has made a Rick Pitino "Walking through that door" joke. I'm impressed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 Conference USA, which is basically going to need to be disbanded from the major conferences next year, is the first conference with a team in the FINAL FOUR. That wasn't too shocking out of that bracket. How they were a four seed is beyond me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 Interesting footnote: That missed dunk at the end there just cost a ton of people money, as Louisville narrowly missed covering the 8 1/2 point spread. I didn't bet on the game or anything, just thought it was funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 Oh man! Way to go U of L! It was funny watching WV run around the court with these cocky "we got it in the bag" expressions on there faces when they were hitting 3's and then just see it all fall apart right in front of them! Well the Big East and Big XII are dead. Now they need to kill the ACC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest spidyfan77 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 Oh God, these guys are going to kill me. I am practically in tears right now I am so happy!! Good grief when we were down 20 or so I started getting into this horrible, depressed state of mind. Then I was like "I REFUSE to lose to friggin West Virginia!" I was thinking "When, God, WHEN??? When will it be our time?" My girl Amanda kept telling me that it was going to be all right, even when it seemed totally hopeless. It'll be fun in the BE next year, huh? I think our rivalry with WVU is just beginning. Those guys were superhuman today until that OT. GO CARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
