NCCA Final Four Tournament

[VicVegas 70]

No one has posted about the NCAA tournament so far. There have been a couple of great games during the first couple of days.

 

VCU, who almost everyone said did not deserve to be in the tournament, beat up on Georgetown today.

 

Morehead State was the big upset yesterday, ending Louisville's tourney much earlier than expected and screwing up my bracket.

 

My Missouri Tigers looked pathetic in their loss to Cincinnati yesterday. Now I sort of wish they hadn't even been invited.

 

My Final Four is Ohio St, Purdue, Pitt, and UConn, with Ohio St winning it all.

 

Any other college basketball fans out there?

My smart money is on Duke, my passion money is on Uconn -- I really don't think anyone can beat Uconn right now, they really have some momentum. If someone beats Duke for them, Connecticutt will take it, surely.

 

Whoops forgot FF. Three of them, I see Ohio State, Kansas, Pitt.

 

Between Duke and Uconn, I really waver, I think I have to take Uconn, just on momentum.

Pitt knocked off, Go Wisconsin!

PHUOCKING Butler! How many brackets have they broken in a year? Jeeze.

 

Cincy doing it to Uconn in the first six minutes. This could be ... COULD be interesting.

With Pitt out my bracket is pretty worthless. What a strange way to end a game - two bad fouls in the final seconds. Coaches all over America were beating their foreheads after that one.

 

Nice game with SDSU finally prevailing over Temple after double OT.

 

Go Butler! I also wouldn't complain if the Illini stepped up and beat the Jayhawks.

I have to support the Local team. Go Dawgs, Butler is the Cinderella team that will do it this year. Even if they don't, it has been great for the school. That coach is gonna make it to the NBA, he has got to have something special going on to get average at best players to be where they have gotten.

[VicVegas 70]

Agreed about Butler, they are a great story.

 

How about VCU? Talk about great stories. In the past week they have toppled USC, Georgetown, and now #3 seed Purdue. Beating the Boilermakers by 18 points in Chicago (which is almost a home game for them), that's a really impressive accomplishment. So much for them not deserving to be in the tournament.

 

Then there's Richmond, another high seed dancing into the Sweet 16. They have a long history of upsetting teams in the tournament, and I hope they can do it again against the "Gayhawks" on Friday. Go Spiders!!!

only one big 12 team left; i'm losing interest.

[VicVegas 70]

Wow, no #1 seeds in the Final Four.

 

Butler, VCU, UConn and Kentucky. Who'd a thunk?

 

As for Kansas, what a choke job! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

So my Uconn is sitting pretty. Although if anyone made a bracket with this I'll bow to him. VCU is very, very good with another one of those 14-year-old coaches, like Butler. I'll obviously stick with Uconn, they haven't done a thing wrong so far.

I think I'll go with Butler. I'm sure they don't want to lose the championship game two years in-a-row. Still, Kemba Walker is gonna be tough to stop. Hope it's a good game.

[GREEN MALAKA 56]

Uccon all the way now that VCU is out

[bvthunder 3]

Game starts in one hour. I'm pulling for Butler.

[VicVegas 70]

Congrats to UConn . Butler might be the Buffalo Bills of NCAA basketball: They can get to the big game, but can't win it.

[joekicker 53]

Very disappointing finish to a pretty good and often exciting tournament.

 

Congrats to Uconn and to all the BMs who picked them from the start AHEM!
