Agent of Oblivion Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I had WVU winning that one, but didn't have them going anywhere, so I'm fine.
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I had WVU in the elite 8
2GOLD Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 The sad thing is if ETSU had actually worked together and PASSED THE BALL a few times down the floor, that game might have been real close at the end. Pitt was making stupid turnovers and not boxing out so they left the door wide open. Reminded of that Duke/Delaware State game where DSU couldn't make a lay-up to save their lives. Bob Huggins failing to win in the tournament doesn't surprise me. Not a bit. His teams just seem to give up and phone in the tournaments.
Hitler Cubano Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 PORTLAND STATE! YEAH! NATIONAL STAGE!
Bored Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Here are the tip times for Saturday's games. UCLA vs. Villanova, 1:05 PM/10:05 AM Maryland vs. Memphis, 3:20/12:20 PM Texas A&M vs. Connecticut, 3:35/12:35 PM Purdue vs. Washington, 5:40/2:40 PM LSU vs. North Carolina, 5:45/2:45 PM Michigan vs. Oklahoma, 5:50/2:50 PM Western Kentucky vs. Gonzaga, 8:10/5:10 PM Texas vs. Duke, 8:15/5:15 PM
Hitler Cubano Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 This might be the only time I can say this without lying, but my school is winning a game on a national stage right now. Awesome. Also, I've played basketball with/against three of the guys on the PSU team. Phil Nelson and Mark Coston were both in my basketball class last year (I think I had a thread bitching about having two 6'7" guys here) and Jeremiah Dominguez, who's like my height. If he was a foot taller, he'd probably be an NBA level talent.
Cheech Tremendous Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 I remember Dominguez was a local star while in high school, grabbing the front page of the sports section multiple times a week. He wasn't recruited by any major school, as far as I can remember, due to his height. I don't know, he looks really good right now.
Hitler Cubano Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Dominguez was playing for University of Portland his first year or something, but has since transferred to PSU, as did a couple other guys on the Vikings squad. Phil Nelson was another of those guys, he came from U-Dub. He's also kind of an idiot meathead type.
Hitler Cubano Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Well, it was nice to be in the tournament again. Still looking forward to that first win. Take Czech's YMCA comment and apply it quite literally to PSU, actually- these guys, or at least certainly the bench, are just a bunch of rec league type players that are just bodies for fouls. PSU's way undersized and doesn't play defense. They have a couple really good guys who are leaving this year (Dominguez is one of them) but hopefully getting into the NCAA Tournament two years in a row will get some good players for the future.
naiwf Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Poor Utah, lost by double digits to a team that shouldn't have made it into the tourney by most accounts.
KingPK Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 It's always fun to watch a Boston College team completely giving up late in the game.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 What the fuck is going on.... Robert Morris down 1. Cleveland State up 8.... Shits not right.
alfdogg Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Lost an Elite 8 today (West Virginia), but thankfully I've only lost one other team that I had going past the next round (Illinois). I'm definitely kicking myself over not picking Western Kentucky.
alfdogg Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 I hope these referees brought enough lube for Siena in this second half.
KingPK Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 If things hold up I'd have only lost two Sweet 16 teams (Northern Iowa and Wake) in my money bracket which is a hell of ma lot better than I usually do.
Mike wanna be Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Bahaha, guy got his John 3:16 sign jacked by security just as he was about to strategically get it on TV. Right behind the Siena bench, security just reaches over and not-so-subtly snatches it.
naiwf Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Did Weak Forest ever have a lead in that game?
alfdogg Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Looks like I'll lose a third Sweet 16 as Wake Forest is down 18 to Cleveland State with 2:35 left.
Bored Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Now why exactly was a #8 seed in Ohio State given such a favorable pod placement? It sounds like a Buckeyes home game in Dayton. Wisconsin/FSU also heading to overtime.
Bored Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 ONIONS! Double OT! Finally the first round got interesting.
naiwf Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Finally a little madness after a mostly mediocre night session.
KingPK Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 ONIONS x2!! Double OT! Today overall has been a lot better than yesterday since a lot of games were interesting at least 3/4ths of the way through.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Wowwwwwwwww. What a clutch 3 by Sienna.
KingPK Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Big 3 by the Seminoles gives them the lead with a minute left in their game.
naiwf Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 ONIONS!!!! Wisconsin hits a driving shot with 2 seconds left to take the lead.
Smues Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Well unless Florida State gets a miracle here they just cost me my first sweet 16 team. Fuckers.
KingPK Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 The 5 seed seems to be a kiss of death in the tournament this year.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 FUCK YOU WISCONSIN. And what an amazing ending to the 1st round.
KingPK Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Shit, that game cost me from having a perfect East bracket.
Smues Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 Oh man. Three for Siena with 3.9 left. This game rules.
