cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2007 The Final Four AKA "Billy D. cashing the paycheck before going to Lexington." Leave it to UK to do everything to overshadow the FF itself. Anyway, I have Florida vs. Georgetown in my bracket. I really, really do not want to see UCLA win tomorrow. Florida vs. either OSU or G'Town would prove watchable at least. UCLA vs. anybody is unwatchable garbage. I'm still having nightmares about that UCLA vs. IU game (even UCLA vs. Pitt was better than that). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 OSU beating G'Town tonight was no shock. Having seen Georgetown several times I noticed that Hibbert and Green sometimes are never clicking in the same game. That along with their fairly mediocre guard play was always going to be their undoing. Truth be told, both G'Town and UCLA were plodder teams. At least the game on Monday will be a solid matchup now. I know there will be people comparing this to Duke vs. UNLV in 1991 (hell people said that about the UCLA game tonight without realizing Ben Howland is no Coach K, and there's no Grant Hill added to this UCLA team). It actually reminds me of another Duke game, vs. Michigan in 1992. Seriously, if OSU actually beats Florida on Monday that is one of the biggest upsets in tourney history. Having watched the previous game this year it didn't seem like the Buckeyes belonged on the same court. Given the BS luck they've had vs. Xavier and Tennessee it's not like they deserve to win the title anyway. If Florida gets up 20 on them like Tennessee did, it's over. Florida 80, Ohio St. 63. Billy D. cuts the nets down and brings it with him to Lexington. Florida can hold the pep rally without him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 Do you realize OSU is a joke to even be this far? Hey, I had them shaving 9 points off that initial assbeating at least. They're better now, but they aren't 26 points better. If Florida was going to lose, it would be last night with the UK situation distracting Donovan and the team. Didn't happen.

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2007 Should be a good championship game, but I'll always take the deeper, more balanced, more experienced team over the squad with the sleepy, occasionally average freshman center. Of course, OSU was the big favorite in the football version of this. I think Conley and Lewis will win this for Ohio State if Ohio State wins this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted April 2, 2007 I would love for Ohio State to upset Florida here, as payback for Florida upsetting Ohio St. in football earlier. This could be the new Notre Dame-USC, at least in terms of inter-conference teams hating the hell out of each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2007 Yeah, I'd love to see OSU beat Florida too, but I'm not sure I see it happening. All the matchups work in Florida's favor. They're one of the best teams in the country at drawing fouls down low, so we'll likely see Oden on the sideline half of the game and when he is in, they have the size down low to defend him. Also, they're one of the best teams in the country at shooting the 3-ball which is OSU's biggest weakness on defense. Even though I picked OSU in my bracket, I really don't see them winning the game the more I think about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
