Everyone who roots for the Big East is pissed at BC for leaving a conference that made them a national entity. It's NOT even close to being the same. Wait a minute, you're a sell out, and so is BC, so maybe on that level it is the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open the Muggy Gate 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 If Tennessee loses, the entire Eastern side of Tennesee will cave in. You'll feel it too. Quite the disturbance in the force. And Montana beating Nevada? Ok... WTF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fazzle 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 I really need Nevada to win, I have them in the elite 8. For the record, I'm *loving* the on demand on Sportsline. Anyone know why they've decided to do this for free? Not that I'm complaining, it's just kinda shocking that they aren't charging for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 Man, here is a tough one. I picked Winthrop in a couple of my brackets to beat Tennesse but the BIG money one, I selected Tennessee to go a little further. I usually cover all bases with various pools, so Im a lock to win something. Right now, I want Winthorp to win because I don't like Tennessee personally but I wouldn't be sad if Tennessee pulled it out. I just need Marquette to work their way back in (as it is, it's a 4 pt game) and Nevada to march back as well. I got 4-0 (I'm securing Florida, as a win now) and I'm hoping to settle into a 8-0 groove to start the day. I can afford to lose Nevada, because in all brackets I had them out in second round anyways as well as Marquette. Losing Tenn hurts in the big money pools. Winning the TSM brackets would be nice but I'd perfer real money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 Did Winthrop just decide to stop looking at the shot clock the last five minutes? That's three times now where they've been out near halfcourt with under five to shoot. Honestly, they don't deserve this upset. They should be a up a dozen with how horribly Tennessee is playing.

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 How was that not a pass into the backcourt by Tennessee??? It was either touched by Winthrop or never clearly possessed by Tennessee. Either way, it's not an over-and-back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just John 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2006 Seems like no one wants to win the Winthrop/Tennessee game. Even if Winthrop pulls the "huge" upset, the sloppy play by both teams for the last 7 minutes has really taken the excitement out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
