NCAA Hoops topic?

All I can say is that KJVegas, your Orange(men) fucked my brackets all up. More thoughts after the KU game.

[cowboy 0]

As an Illini Alum I would have to say the orange and the blue all the way.

[kjvegas 2]

I feel like i just got sodomized by a midget...I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

 

btm1973,

That sucks about your bracket, the loss fucked up alot of brackes. Vermont wanted it more tonight. Syracuse (Sorrycuse) sucks, sorry to hear about your bracket.

 

On an upnote now i don't have to worry about where I am going to watch the final 4 in LOS.

 

cheers

Well since we seem to be posting in real time, and you are a Vegas guy, I got in on KU as 16 fav when the brackets came out. Last I saw it was 13. I want KU to win but not by too much. Right know my money is safe but a KU win is not certian right now.

They looked good first round but they struggled against WI in the big 10 final, they aren't going all the way. Elite eight at best. Seimen is carrying KU right now but they could be out by the time you read this.

[btm1735 232]

What can I say but oh fuck. KJVegas and I watching from the the outside now.

If you think you were screwed by Syracuse, Kansas just took a ride up your pooper.

I went 5-0 ATS Today 18 March

 

Central Florida +19.5

Delaware St +26.5

Se Lousiana +18.5

Miss st -2.5

Bucknell +13.5 and they even won SU vs Kansas

 

And I only had 10 bucks on each of them

Same me and even born in Urbana.

 

Illinois probably has the best shot of any single team to win it all, but it's still probably only about a 35% chance.

I had Alabama going to the Final 4 as my cinderella team. So much for that region of my bracket. Why would I bet on a team that has the same name as a band I hate? I still have bets on Wake Forrest (6-1) and Duke (9-1) to win it all.

 

Then there's Kansas.

 

Sorry btm, but as a MU fan I get a perverse pleasure when KU loses, and it doesn't get much better than a 3rd seeded KU losing to 14th seeded Bucknell. Sure, my Tigers didn't even make the NCAA field and lost in the first round of the lowly NIT, but we beat KU a couple of weeks ago and then got to watch them blow another first round game in the NCAA tourney. Life is good.

What can I say. I hoped the team that ranked #1 showed up. Instead the team that lost 5 of its last 8 showed up.

[Greg_B 306]

I'm hoping the homestate, does show them how good they really are. {Illinois}

Would someone care to explain to those living on planet Earth, i.e. not in the US , what the fuck this topic is about?

 

By the way, please don't say football. Football is, in the civilised world, played with a ROUND ball.

College Basketball. Hard to explain how big an event this tourney is if you don't live in the US. BTW you can keep your version of a civilized round ball. You euros kind of miss the point of sports. The battle is supposed to on the field, pitch, court, not in the stands.

[kjvegas 2]

BC (boston college) is the latest team to bite the dust. I LOVE IT. They are leaving the Big East conference and started getting their asses kicked late in the season. I love what Syracuse football did to them last fall in their final game, if BC won they would go to a BCS bowl and make millions, Syracuse came out of nowhere and beat the piss out of them and gave them a going away party and ended up costing BC millions of dollars.

 

Back to Basketball I predict Kentucky is the next team to lose, they are ready to start their second round game against Cincinnati, should be a good game. Cinncinnati is a great defensive team.

 

BTW, what i don't know could fill a dictionary.

 

Windynoi,

Congratulations on your winnings, anytime you win it is a good feeling.

 

cheers

you were dead on on that uk / cin game. how many over times was that. I didn't put a cent down on the tourney or the season period as a crack down has made bookie rather unrelieble around my parts, put I always believed you could make money betting on the dogs. Kansas was never a dog all season long but they only beat the spread twice out of about 30 games.

[btm1735 232]

Oh and I am going on record as saying IL is not for real and won't get past the sweet 16. Elite eight at best.

[VicVegas 70]

My bracket is toast. Wake Forrest went down in Double OT to West Virginia. How does that happen? I still have Duke, but they could easily lose to Mississippi St tomorrow. I may have to go put some cash on the underdogs. Go Bucknell and Vermont!

Well, the best college athletes on earth run back and forth on a wooden floor for 2 hours trying to put a round ball through a hoop. It's fast-paced and action-packed . . . unlike soccer.

[RhinoTusk 4,901]

Go Univ of Wisconsin-Milwaukee! Dropped football 30 years ago when I was a junior, now in the sweet 16. Illinois is the next match-up. Why not?

 

Go Univ. Wisconsin-Madison, too. Let's see an all-Wisconsin final. Cheese rules!

[kjvegas 2]

Like i said guys, "what i don't know could fill a dictionary". UConn is the latest high seed to bite the dust. Everyones bracket is fucked up now. I'm cheering for Duke from now on so my buddy Vicvegas will win some extra baht. I made one bet in this entire tournament and my Orange fucked it up so i'm not betting anyone else, i'm saving for my LOS trip, i leave a week from tomorrow.

 

BTW, my new team is Vermont. I've had it woth Sorry-cuse.

 

cheers

That explains why I couldn't understand what the fuss was all about.

 

Unlike many of our European neighbours, Scotland's football fans have gained a reputation for being the best behaved anywhere, which considering the dismal performances given in recent years by our football and rugby teams is surprising. . Must see what the odds are for us beating Italy away from home next weekend. Now that we have a Scot as manager again, it just might be worth putting on a (very) small flutter.

Believe me here,we Americans don't care a whit about your soccer. This NCAA thingy is the biggest "money changer" of the year. No hard feelings, just win or lose, and move on. What is amazing is the teams that beat those they never should in average. You can root for your podunk college ,if they make the NCAA tourney, they COULD win. Amazing when you think about it.

[nidnoyham 30]

Believe me here,we Americans don't care a whit about your soccer.

Thank goodness!

 

The thought of you lot trying to understand the "Offside" rule, would be a nightmare

So true! We can't grasp the offside hockey rule either, so skate or run wherever you please. Just quit faking the life ending injuries,ya?

If anyone was fortunate to see West Virginia beat #2 seeded wake forest Thats what College BB is all about! Screw the pros! Hope you guys make the right play and earn the green. My money is on North Carolina Tar Heels!
