mike546 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Ok, this "unexperienced" UNC team beat Duke, in Duke, on senior night. I think they can handle the NCAA tourney. Are you saying they're not inexperienced? How many of them played a role in the team last year? I'm not saying there experienced, I'm just saying there unexperience obviously isn't that bad if they can beat the number one team in the country on the road on senior night.
CanadianChris Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Tournament play and conference play are two entirely different animals. And "unexperienced" isn't a word.
Vampiro69 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 The only loss I have had that hurts me is the Iowa game. Had them in the Sweet sixteen. Other then that Any game I had wrong they were losing in the 2nd round. This year I am doing horrible, and last year I was perfect on the first day.
SilverPhoenix Posted March 18, 2006 Author Report Posted March 18, 2006 Bradley is on a fucking tear!! 35 Foot Shot to end the half. They lead 37-27!!
Vern Gagne Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Stupid Texas falls into a Penn style game.
Hawk 34 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 I got to be in @ work really early in the morning. Figures that all the late games are currently close.
Guest Princess Leena Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Yeah, Bradley is gonna win this. Pretty amazing that the 5th best MVC team could beat the best Big 12 team. I blame Dama.
Vampiro69 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Murray State is sticking with North Carolina 44-44 right now.
CanadianChris Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Kansas makes an early exit? I'm shocked. SHOCKED, I say.
Hawk 34 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Kansas makes an early exit? I'm shocked. SHOCKED, I say. 10 pt game with 7:45 to go, isn't quite time to call it a "upset".
Open the Muggy Gate Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Start calling it an upset kiddos.
mike546 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 I'd had Kansas out in the 2nd round anyway. Not a huge deal.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 I had Kansas in my 16 losing to Memphis... so I not too happy bout that.
naiwf Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Is it time to start calling the MVC a "power conference"?
mike546 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 So how did everyone do overal today? If I lookd at the games right I think I went 12-4 and the only sweet sixteen team I've lost is Iowa. Overal from both days I'm 25-7.
teke184 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Ouch... Bradley should have used more lube when they fucked my bracket straight up the ass.
Guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 I only have 4 Sweet 16 teams out (those are Southern Illinois, Kansas, Marquette, and Michigan State). I'm barely getting by. I need to know the schedule for tomorrow.
cabbageboy Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 If you go back to the beginning of the thread I think I called that Bradley upset of Kansas. I knew Kansas wasn't much, and likely was still getting over the Big 12 tourney. That said, I wouldn't call the MVC a power league yet. Wichita St. killed a shitty Seton Hall, but SIU got maimed by WVU today. Also, that G'Town vs. N. Iowa game was one of the worst games in the history of the universe. I'm glad to be rid of some of these ultra stale major teams though. Let's face it, did the world really need Kansas going anywhere, or Michigan St.?
Kurt Angle Mark Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 I went 23-9 lost three sweet 16 teams (Seton Hall, Nevada, Kansas) lost one elite eight (Kansas) I knew Kansas would choke again, can't f'n believe I bought into their hype
Just John Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Only lost one S16 team so far (Seton Hall). Don't know what I was thinking looking back at that one. Anyway, I missed 6 other first round picks, but I had all of them losing in the next round anyway, so no biggie. I also called Bradley over Kansas.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 47th out of 50 in the TSM tourney. I'll leave it at that. Bradley and George Mason... congratulations. You all are in my prayers to go to hell tonight.
Guest Sabu Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Ugh, Kansas. I should have known that they would find some way yet again to choke in the Tournament, and they didn't let me down.
iggymcfly Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Yeah, Bradley is gonna win this. Pretty amazing that the 5th best MVC team could beat the best Big 12 team. I blame Dama. Umm no. Pretty sure Texas won last night. And really, once they got healthy, Bradley was probably the 2nd best MVC squad, so it's a pretty even matchup as far as conference postion. I actually had Bradley over Kansas to begin with, and then I decided that I was fishing for upsets too much and changed it. I ended up doing pretty shitty in the first round (22 for 32), but I've still got most of my 2nd round picks, and all of my 3rd round picks, so I won't sweat it too much. Especially considering that I'll slay all the UConn sheep when Duke kicks their ass in Indianapolis.
Damaramu Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Damn I lost a final four team in Kansas. Fuck you KU for tricking me! So UConn, Nova, tOSU, and Texas all struggle yesterday? Is UCLA the only 1/2 seed that looked awesome?
Damaramu Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Yeah, Bradley is gonna win this. Pretty amazing that the 5th best MVC team could beat the best Big 12 team. I blame Dama. There's a difference between getting up for the tournament and playing at a high level every night. If these MvC teams were in a big conference they'd still struggle b/c they have to play like they do in the tournament every night to compete.
Guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 I think they've proven throughout the season that they can play with anybody. Now it's just a matter of scheduling teams so that the MVC can prove it, and leave no doubt.
Slayer Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 It warms my heart to see KU go one-and-done for the second straight year. Even funnier is the fact that, for this moment at least, they are not the best basketball team in Kansas.
Guest Sabu Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 I just realized that I had picked Kansas to go to the elite 8. Ugh, I don't know what the hell I was smoking.
Damaramu Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 I think what happened was a lot of people saw the run they made at the end of the season, heard the name Kansas, and went "Oh well they should do well" and we all forgot that they start 3 freshmen and 2 sophomores and that they started the season 3-4.
