ndiana over Gonzaga

Shame on you bug.....shame on you

[mob roulette]

i'm not feeling byu either.

also tom, did you catch the suns last night? that's what I'M talking about. clearly the best rivalry for the next few seasons or so.

[mob roulette]

nevermind, i saw the other thread

[bug on your lip]

the Suns-Mavs game was great.
I love those 2 teams, they make the NBA game beautiful.
alot better than the East. where it's a slow half-court offense, and if someone's eyelash falls on lamebron or Duh-wade's sneakers they send em to the line.

[TomAz]

btw i picked Davidson to beat Maryland.

[TomAz]

Stanford over Louisville

the first one out of your mouth. Run away and hide in shame.

[mob roulette]

no way the cardinal were going to beat the cardinals. there's just too many of them. tech's down too.

in fairness to bug though, tom, i'm noting a slight second half surge by the terrapins. care to comment?

[TomAz]

gotta take risks. but picking stanford was stupid.

[caco0283]

stupid is stupid does

Stanford had USC beat last week
translation = Pac 10 is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy y
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
overrated and in deep shit

Boston College is a horrible team
translation = Big 12 is in deep shit & is overrated

That's the way the tournament works every year. You find out quickly which Conferences are the dominant ones. Big East-SEC-ACC are the top 3 this year, i think that's obvious

[caco0283]

oh no its going to be the college football arguement all over again....where's Foi so she can get in on this

[skavenbrew]

Stanford was just on the receiving end of an old fashioned butt kicking.

lou 78
stan 58

and it really wasn't even that close.....

you forgot the most overrated of them all: Big 10. Every year, the committee puts all these Big 10 schools in the tournament, and every year, the conference goes like 2-9 or something.

[nothingman00]

I'm going to weigh in here. For sheer quality of the teams placed in the NCAA tourney, the Big XII is the best. What other conference can you honestly find 3 potential Final 4 teams (legit Final 4 possibilities)?

Bug's Friday Upsets:

Winthrop over Notre Dame

Creighton over Nevada

Villanova over Kentucky

Arkansas over USC (the Stanford slaughter of '07 was just foreshadowing to the drubbing USC will take. USC had to comeback to beat Stanford in overtime just last week)

and i know nothingman has a man crush on Durant, but jesus Big 12 has not looked good so far... even the Big 12 teams playing in the NIT have looked like shit. what does this mean ? it means there could be tournament history made today... a 16 seed over a 1.. something that has NEVER happened before
Niagara over Kansas
yes, i did pick Kansas, but if a 1 is going to fall... it will be this game

[caco0283]

Villanova over Kentucky

negro please

I disagree with all of those except I will agree that Niagra over Kansas is a possibility. Niagra started 1-6 and fought back hard to make the tournament and probably has more talent than the usual 16 seed.

i'm not feeling these either homey. MAYBE nova over ky but i doubt it. MAYBE the razorbacks if they get out the gate early but again, i doubt it. and nevada and the irish are going to the next round no question.

i hope you're right though. these could set up a potentially awesome second round.
