Guest Mosaicv2 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 I hate cinderella teams... that's why I don't want WV to win. But they probably are.
2GOLD Posted March 27, 2005 Report 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.
2GOLD Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 I hate cinderella teams... that's why I don't want WV to win. But they probably are. 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.

I consider a double-digit seed like NC State, a 10-seed, to be a Cinderella regardless of conference affiliation.

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.
Slayer Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report Posted March 27, 2005 I want Louisville to win just because I like how they play and I thought they got disrespected by being given a friggin 4 seed (look where 1-3 are now)
2GOLD Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 I want Louisville to win just because I like how they play and I thought they got disrespected by being given a friggin 4 seed (look where 1-3 are now) You've got your wish. 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.
teke184 Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 Now if Illinois can win tonight and Kentucky can pull it off tomorrow, I've got a legitimate shot of locking up the TSM Picks Pool win.
2GOLD Posted March 27, 2005 Report 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.
iggymcfly Posted March 27, 2005 Report 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.
Damaramu Posted March 27, 2005 Report 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.

Somewhere a man smelling of stale beer and Winstons is crying and cursing at his broken television as a man named Rocko shows up at his doorstep. MARCH MADNESS IS AWESOME!
Guest spidyfan77 Posted March 27, 2005 Report 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slayer Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report Posted March 27, 2005 Oh yeah, Pitino is now the only man to guide three difference schools to the FF
Mole Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 I really really really hope Illinois loses. I can't stand them.
iggymcfly Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 I really really really hope Arizona loses. I can't stand them.
Vern Gagne Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 I really really really hope Arizona wins. I have them in my money pool.
iggymcfly Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 I really really really hope Illinois wins. I have them in my money pool. I do hate Arizona anyway though.
iggymcfly Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 Shit, I was giving up on Illinois, and wallowing in self-pity a little bit ago. Now they're only down three! Go Illini!
CanadianChris Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 Jesus Christ. This would be one of the greatest comebacks in tournament history if they can finish it off.
Mole Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 JESUS, that was a horrible throw in. JESUS, that was clutch shot. JESUS, this is a good game.
Guest Smues Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 I think the arena is going to explode. Come on Arizona, could just one damn game go the way I want it this weekend?
Mole Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 You've got to be kidding. That sums it up perfectly.
Gert T Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 This is what happens when I send a picture of myself in a Salim jersey saying this is what I will wear next Saturday at a party. That was with 3:28 left and a 12 point lead.
iggymcfly Posted March 27, 2005 Report Posted March 27, 2005 I was scared as fuck there. I thought they called a foul on Head on that shot by Stoudamire there for a second. This is a really awesome game though.
