Mik 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2007 I'm getting more and more excited about UNC/GT tomorrow as more and more time passes. It's 25 years after , so let's hope that UNC can get something like that again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2007 After watching all of UNC's games this year, I have to say that there are weaknesses inherent in their game that Georgetown could very well exploit. Hansbrough isn't the greatest defender, so Hibbert might go off. This is coming from a big Tar Heels fan, but I think Georgetown is just too much for them down low, and I think UNC's youth and inexperience will become a factor in this game.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2007 I'm bringing some equality to the thread with a NCAA Women's tourney update, because there isn't enough interest to warrant a thread of it's own. #4 Rutgers defeated #1 Duke, 53-52, when Lindsey Harding missed TWO free throws with 0.1 second remaining. It was brutal to watch and one of those, "Are you SERIOUS?" moments. The look on her face was one of complete shock and disbelief. From ACC player of the year to the lady who blew it for the Lady Devils and ended her career missing the two biggest free throws of her life. Welcome to ouchville Lindsey. #3 Arizona State blew out #7 Bowling Green 67-49. The game wasn't even competitive. They will soon play each other to go to the Last Four. Screw calling it the Final Four, that's a men's thing. Games still to come FRESNO: #10 Florida St (go girls) vs #3 LSU #1 UCONN vs #4 NCST DALLAS: #1 NC vs #5 George Washington #3 Georgia vs #2 Purdue DAYTON: #1 Tennessee vs #13 Marist (Cinderella alive and well) #3 Oklahoma vs #7 Mississippi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 One concession from my bracket is that my championship game remains alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 Yeah, and thus far I do have 3 of my 4 FF teams alive. Pending tomorrow of course (I have FL, UCLA, and G'Town). And not to anyone's surprise Kansas totally gagged tonight as they usually do. I don't care either way who wins with UNC/G'Town but I'm hoping for UNC since I think it makes for a better matchup against OSU. First game was without Oden. I'm hoping Florida wins since I don't have any desire to see the 3rd game of Oregon vs. UCLA. That isn't a knock on Oregon...I actually like them pretty well from what I've seen. It's just a stale matchup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 I'll have my second big pool locked up if GT wins here. The only other person to match me had UNC winning. We shared the same F4 aside from that and our tie-breaker was even as well. I bombed my mega pool with only Florida making the final four for me in that one (should UNC win here). Disappointing but I'm getting money no matter who wins this game, just a difference of $100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 I started feeling really confidant about the Hoyas when they were still down by about ten halfway through the second. Huge comebacks/collapses has been the story of this tournament. That, and the seedings going closer to form throughout than I've ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 Really fun to see Georgetown come back there. They were getting completely jobbed by the refs for the first 35 minutes or so until the refs apparently just gave up and said "well fuck it, if UNC's not going to make a shot, I guess they'll just lose then." Especially satisfying to watch the big guys just destroy the Tar Heels in the OT. Also, amazingly, my bracket's actually looking pretty decent now after getting massacred early. I'm not going to win any pools, but I'll have a respectable finish with 3 Final Four teams and keep my Yahoo ranking in good shape. Oh, and 22-13 on sports bets is pretty nice too.

Guest Queen Leelee Report post Posted March 26, 2007 Yeah. Ewing Sr.'s let himself go. Why not, though. I won't bitch about the calls. UNC definitely got their fair share of them in the 1st half, but GT got some as well. I really like GT to win it all, now. But, I'm biased. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2007 Well, like several on here I had 3/4 of the FF correct but I did the goofy homer pick for my guys in the south region. Doesn't really matter though since I had OSU losing to Tenn. either way. This is a pretty interesting Final 4. I think Florida should probably repeat though, since they are the defending champions and all. G'Town may get to the final, but how often is it a team wins it all when they only avg. 68 points for the season? UCLA has a similar problem, though I was surprised to see they avg. at least 71. OSU has been lucky as hell, but G'Town has been just as fortunate. I'll stick with Florida vs. Georgetown in the final, with Florida repeating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
