Sad thing is he is a great coach by most accounts. He should have left on his own last year before all the stuff was found out. Calipari-style.

Glad I picked Mich
But I am truly shocked at this blowout.

Tennessee just cant maintain consistency... I mean 16 pts in the 2nd half
Just turrible as Sir Charles would say
Michigan not only won without making a free throw
They won by 30. That’s a statistical anomaly that we probably won’t see for quite some time again.

Kansas' road to the Elite 8
1st Round – 16 Boston U
2nd Round – winner of 8 UNLV / 9 Illinois
3rd Round – winner of 12 Richmond / 13 Moorehead State
Unbelievable. Now they just need St. Peters to go on a run and they can sleepwalk all the way to Houston.

Duke is the New England Patriots of NCAA Basketball
I wish I could play little league now... I'd kick some fuckin' ass.
Nova
getting a huge break here. Tie ball and they keep it.
Then timing issue and Jay Wright gets an extra timeout.
--AW--
Big time stop by George Mason
Gus Johnson on the call.
And Nova’s losing streak continues into next season. 16-1 on Jan. 15th. Ouch!
--AW--
Nova
16-1 to 21-12.
Yall still want Jay Wright? Heck, Rick Barnes is a year ahead of Wright. He already led a team through a February and March collapse.
--AW--
Duke up 30 on Hampton, Kyrie Irving barely making an impact too
Memphis up 3 on Zona under 10 minutes

Aggies on torrid pace
No points for first seven minutes.
7 points in next five.
Yet, only down 12-7.
--AW--
12-12, 7:35 left in 1st half
looks like an entertaining game to watch… not

What does kenpom know about the Tigers? Nada. Their all heart today, men.

it's not like Arizona is ranked highly, this is 32 vs 89
plus Memphis is loaded with talented freshman… they can explode at any moment

Zona/Memphis
win or lose, this is the kind of game we wanted to see. There will be tired legs on Sunday.
by goingforthecorner on Mar 18, 2011 4:01 PM CDT reply actions
how will our legs...
…not be similarly tired?

since our game wasn't exactly a boxing match
we were up and then they made it close. All I’m saying is you’d rather have Zona/Memphis play a game like this instead of a blowout

Wow
Horrible call. Should have been a tie ball.
by TheElusiveShadow on Mar 18, 2011 4:07 PM CDT reply actions
Hate to see the refs assert themselves in these games.
Tigers press and force tieup. Called time out by Zona. Turrible call.

Woo Hoo. What a steal and a make. Zona up 75-74 with 0:12 remaining. Madness.
- follow me @ http:/twitter.com/TXStampede
wow
they missed the 2nd free throw on purpose, got the rebound and then got blocked
Wow! What a shot block by Zona to save the game. Great ending. Another bracket busted for me.

I can't watch this game live (just watching the gamecast)...
How did Arizona look?? Was Memphis playing above their heads? Would we have beat this AZ team pretty easily?
by Heart of a Muschampion on Mar 18, 2011 4:20 PM CDT reply actions
Both teams with A LOT of length
Zona went cold half way through the 2nd period. But they came back and it was back and forth for the balance of game. Tigers have a lot of speed. We are going to have to pull Zona’s Williams out of the paint. Some how…Some way.

Aggies just 7-17 from the free throw line
ouch. Every point is critical in a defensive slugfest.
FSU just went on top 32-31 under 14 min
by goingforthecorner on Mar 18, 2011 4:47 PM CDT reply actions
A&M was up 31-23, since then, an 11-0 FSU run to make it 34-31 FSU
by goingforthecorner on Mar 18, 2011 4:48 PM CDT reply actions
50-42 FSU, under 2:30
this game is probably over. Not sure how A&M could score 8 points in this amount of time given how the game has gone
by goingforthecorner on Mar 18, 2011 5:17 PM CDT reply actions
Anyone else tend to root for the Aggies in games that don't matter to us?
They are our little brother after all.
On the other hand, I will never, ever root for OU, under any circumstances.
Seminoles' blocking is gonna be the cause of some sore sheep in the morning. nt
J'What can Brown tweet for you?
53-42, under 1:30
yeah it’s over, your first “upset” of the day.
A&M’s (meaningless) streak of consecutive years winning at least one tournament game comes to a halt.
FSU vs Notre Dame will be a classic matchup of offense vs defense.
by goingforthecorner on Mar 18, 2011 5:23 PM CDT reply actions
Now we can stop talking about that stupid NCAA win streak
And focus on the fact that Turge will never get us to that NEXT level.

Oh man I should have checked before opening that link
Now I have to bleach and boil me computer.

A&M
Teaches me right picking the Aggies: they just cost me my third loss of the tournament.
I told horndudette to change her pick to FSU
but noooooo, now she’s tied with me. Otherwise, she’d be in second place. Had she also taken my advice on G. Mason, she’d be in first.
J'What can Brown tweet for you?
I am currently tied for 1st, but
I am feeling a bit like Libya right now: sure, things looked unexpectedly promising for a while, but in the near future I expect to get pounded.
