Brutal is right. I didn't think Xavier would go down.

If all the cards fall correctly in this chaotic playoff, there is a chance that two #11 seeds (Syracuse and Loyola-Chicago) could play for the title. As it stands, Duke is now the favorite to take it all. What is Duke going to do when Coach K packs it in? -- Al

I have a few suggestions as to what Duke can do. Colorful suggestions, filled with spicy sentence enhancers. {sm4} Go Canes!


I had Virginia losing in the second round, (or was it third?). Despite their unbelievable ACC record, I knew they had a fatal defect. Without ACC refs, they are unable to hand check, hook, run over pics, and absolutely maul offensive players. That, and the fact they cant score over 50 points, is fatal in the Tourney. When they played us (we lost 48-40), the Miami players had to wear MeToo shirts, because they were absolutely physically harassed.

UNC surprised me. But....young team. How about Free Shoes beating Xavier? Unbelievable. Only Satan had FSU making the S16. A victory for the dark side.


Duke really has a chance. But that **** Nova team. They play like a pack of foreign devils! Im calling Nova taking it.

Not a Duke fan, huh, and probably don't have a poster of Christian Laettner either. I'm an ACC fan from back in the 60's, a UMd grad (Go Lefty and Gary!), and despite UMd bailing on the ACC, the ACC is still the best B-ball in the US, year in, year out. Bit of a soft year for them but still got 3 teams into the Sweet 16, (Duke, FSU, and Clemson). So, go ACC! -- Al

I'm lucky, I am close enough to go see a lot of games. I miss hated Maryland for football. We used to play them back when I was there (80's) and the games were usually nasty. When you took a one point lead in '11, Golden's first game for us, I wrote off Folden, and joined with a few others to start the aerial banner fund

You forgot Cuse in the S16 as well (Maybe the B East thing threw you off? )


Yes, top to bottom, I'd say the ACC is tops year in and year out (Duke and UNC alone are title contenders every year)

Weird, FSU and Cuse were I think 8th and 10th in the conference, LOL.

Lots of parity. UM beats VT by one last game of season, goes from 8th to finish 3rd, UNC goes from 3rd to 6th with a loss, and GT falls from 5 to 9th.

Sure did forget Syracuse. So many changes in conference alignments the last several years that I have lost track of who is where.:redface2:
As a Cane alum, certainly you must remember UMd's proudest moment in football, the 1984 game where UMd trailed 31-0 at the half but won the game 42-40. UMd football has had few enough good memories that this one is still the highlight.
ACC always seems to put 4 teams in the Sweet 16. They are to NCAA basketball what the SEC is to NCAA football. -- Al

LOL! I was at the game. I was in HS. Jimmy's first season. We beat no. 1 Auburn first game, then the Gatas, then imploded (also lost to ND, Free Shoes, and the famous Hail Flutie) I thought we were up 35 or 40 to zero? I just remember the nightmare, LOL.

I avenged the Canes, however. Freshman year, I beat them in tennis in singles and doubles

The SEC had some wild times too. Auburn and Tennesee sent packing, but aTm killing UNC. UK fans are starting dream now that the field is wide open.

I think Kentucky has one of the easiest paths to the Final Four. The Wildcats have beaten two double-digit seeds already and they will not face a team seeded lower than seventh until the Final Four with Kansas State (9), Nevada (7) and Loyola-Chicago (11) left in the South.

Yep, but never count out a collapse from a Calipari team. Although they are really playing well lately. **** freshman one and doners are starting to gel

Nova is just playing so well. That Coach has really developed a powerful team the last few years. Athletic, deep, and routinely capable of hitting 15-20 3s a game.

Anyone but Duke or Kansas, and I can live with it.

And I demand Free Shoes gets humiliated in the S16 game. I want to see a Old Testament style smoting. Then justice for the Criminole players, maybe try them in the Hague or something. {sm4}

Well, yeah NOW that Arizona and Virginia have been beaten. ^&cool It started as one of the more difficult brackets. They should make it now. Funny, a few weeks ago people were down on the team and Cal when they lost 4 straight, wondering if they would even make the tournament. Now they have won 9 of the last 10 and the SEC Tournament.

For whatever reason Calipari coached teams seem to do much better when they are not weighed down by expectations.

Nobody else concerned that the Axis of Evil still has Free Shoes, Duke and Kansas in the Tourney?

I'm concerned.

BTW, I am now glad the Canes lost. Matter of fact, I'm seriously considering cancelling my ten thousand dollar Field Club tickets for next year (football). The University can go to Hades now. (Their recent honored "guest" speaker really means, to me, that everyone ever associated with the U be crucified and lining I-95 like at the end of "Sparticus". )

Tough loss for Kentucky but when you get down by 11 early and Washington hits less than 50% from the foul line, a loss can’t be unexpected.

Yeah, PJ lost the game the game for them. Whole team played poorly. Chris

Well Kentucky being out sucks for me, my favorite college team, my second favorite team Michigan played lights out last night, I'm still alive in both of my pools as I picked with my heart and have them winning it all in both of them.

If they get knocked out, that's all she wrote for me, none of the other remaining 11 teams capture any sort of interest from me.

One and done has basically ruined college basketball; good effort, good job NCAA, they could screw up a one car funeral.

My earlier post may have been a bit harsh.Without Washington's 18 points, and I forget how many rebounds, UK wasn't close to KSU. Calapari blamed himself and I agree. He never tried to change the pace of the game. Chris

 

[jazzeum]

I will admit to not watching a lot of college basketball this year but, aside from his foul shooting, PJ Washington looked like an impressive player. Let's hope he returns to Kentucky next year.

My bet is that he is going to declare for the draft.

The sport is dead to me. What kind of alternative, Spock with a beard universe is this? Free Shoes?
Really? Noooooooooooop

He may go of course but he's not been in the discussion of the 4-5 players most likely to go pro. Chris
