sorry... damn, Pitt has really ended thier season on a serious downfall. I smell 1st round upset in dance, then again Villanova is a lot better than people give them credit for.

granted we lost by 21, but that loss isn't looking as bad now.

I'm just glad that Boston lost to West freaking Virginia!!

what an awesome way to leave the Big East...traitors :)

[watchtower41]

Depaul/UAB great game...


37-33 Blue Demons in the 2nd half with 13:42 left.

Wining big, they're in.

that's six teams from the Big XII. all this talk about the ACC and Big East, while the Big XII is getting overlooked. i like it. i would pull for Texas A & M to get in, but they play Kansas tomorrow if they beat K-State today, so i'll have be happy with six teams.:D

I'm just looking forward to watching the 'Cuse game tonight, they should have no problem winning :)

[ryguy178]

and i'm looking ahead to the syracuse/uconn game on friday (which of course should happen)..i think that will be pretty entertaining

[watchtower41]

UAB is gonna beat the Depaul the same way they did 8 days ago... last second 3 (their first lead of the game)


Unreal. I hope Depaul still gets in

well...UAB advances to semis..

i think depaul still will go..




and in Big Ten news..

wow psu with an 11 pt lead on OSU at halftime..should be quite a finish

[watchtower41]

UAB 59-56 Final. Depaul was up 9 with under 10 to go.

UAB may get in with this win, Depaul is gonna have to wait and see, many analysts think they secured a seed with their win yesterday... should be interesting.

[ryguy178]

anyone interested in doing an Ants tourney pick'em??

I'm just glad that Boston lost to West freaking Virginia!!

I could care less about Miami, but as someone who has been watching Big East basketball since the beginning I'm sorry that it has come to this. I like and respect Al Skinner as a coach and I know it's not his fault.
I guess you have to follow the money, but it is an end of something that was pretty special.I know Coach Calhoun has said he will never play BC again

I just hope they have a good travel agent :)

[haildmb]

NC State is whippin' that ass!!!


yeah baby :D

and thank you Maryland, you may have sealed NC State's invite to the tourny. Virginia finishing off Miami's hopes didn't hurt either :)

Can't wait to see the Pack take it to the dirty deacons tomorrow!

[Third Floor]

yeah baby :D

and thank you Maryland, you may have sealed NC State's invite to the tourny. Virginia finishing off Miami's hopes didn't hurt either :)

dirty deacons? is that what state fans are calling us in between telling chris they killed his grandad? yeah, state is full of class.

[ryguy178]

dirty deacons? is that what state fans are calling us in between telling chris they killed his grandad? yeah, state is full of class.

i remember hearing about this..

and here i thought our "no means NO" chants to LaSalle's team of rapists was classless....

[Third Floor]

no means no is funny. having a huge poster of it is funny. when sheldon williams comes back having a huge poster of no STILL means no, also funny.

telling someone that you killed their grandfather, fucking disgusting. i dont care that chris hit hodge in the nuts, hell i mean if he would have tackled him and humped him on the ground, dook vitale would have screamed about the competetive nature of his play, oh wait thats just for JJ. funny, some people can do whatever they want because the media loves them.

[UNC41]

Have you ever watched Vitale announce a Wake game? You would think Paul played for Duke by how far Vitale has it up in there. Its really not much different than JJ.

[Third Floor]

the only wake games that vital announced were home games? why would i watch those on tv when i can sit 3rd row?

and besides, vitale hates wake now, we booed the hell outta that guy. he wasnt the biggest fan of that.

[haildmb]

dirty deacons? is that what state fans are calling us in between telling chris they killed his grandad? yeah, state is full of class.


It's not like the whole stadium was chanting that in unison. My guess is that a few dumbasses behind the wake bench were saying it. I know I didn't hear anyone saying anything like that. The worst I heard from where I was at was "Boooo!," unless dirty deacons is worse than that ;)

[seekupig]

the few NC State fans that did that were out of line (and yes, it was few). But that doesn't excuse Chris Paul from being a piece of shit. what he did is one of the worst things you could possibly do to another man. the fact that Wake fans are running and hiding behind the response of fans to justify what their player did is ignorant. they won't say Paul was wrong, simply "state fans have no class." every college campus has fans like that. it just so happens that this small group of people was a group of white students sitting a few rows back of a black reporter for the Raleigh News And Observer. This guy has a history of writing articles that will stir up the race pot a little. Not saying that excuses the actions, but had Chris Paul been white, i doubt we would have even heard about this. It's not the whole arena, it was a few assholes that were sitting by someone who has the ability to get the word out to a lot of people in a hurry. so let's not generalize it like it's "all state fans." go back to your silly tie-dyed shirts and becoming Cameron wannabe's.

[seekupig]

let's get back to basketball.......

what games is everyone looking forward to today?

i like UConn / Syracuse and Wake / NC State. there are some others, but those two look the best.

[DMBfan14567]

and i'm looking ahead to the syracuse/uconn game on friday (which of course should happen)..i think that will be pretty entertaining
God I hope that 'Cuse can get the monkey off their back and beat UConn...it's going to be an awesome game, I know I'll be watching...I stopped watching the Rutgers game last night with like 10 minutes to go, that was just a spanking.

:lol

I just hope they have a good travel agent :)I don't blame him, I think BC will get to the ACC and be schooled. If they were able to get beat by West Virginia, how are they going to do against the Dookies?

just found this article about the Duke / UNC game. Coach K is so nice......



Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski called it "a great game, a very intense game" and praised UNC.

That intensity spilled into the stands as Krzyzewski, livid when he heard a Carolina fan yell to him on his way off the court at the end of the half, "You've got (official Larry) Rose in your pocket," had security eject the fan from the arena. The fan's name: Scott Williams, Roy Williams' son.

This actually happened at the Dean Dome? They kicked out Roy's son? Wow. I could see it at Cameron. Best game of the day should be UConn/Cuse. I'm excited to see McCants get back on the court.

Not bad. They probably won't cover. Weber pulls guys at the end.

what are the chances of the ACC getting 3 number one seeds? probably not good, but if Duke wins the ACC tournament, i think it would have to be considered. any of the other teams fighting for it would get the nod over Kentucky based on strength of schedule and quality wins.

Some "experts" like Wake as a lock for a No1 right now, I say if they lose today, like I think they will...that's highly up for debate. BTW, Wake is favored by 5 1/2 today. I think I should put the mortgage on the Wolfpack.

if they lose today, it'll be the "game without Chris Paul" so it won't matter IMO.

[jermtheworm]

ou up 23-8, snyder looks like a mess, hair going eveywhere, discruntled look on his face, mizzou just shooting themselves out of the game so far, not rebounding

can't beat anybody else worth a shit, but they have our numbers.........

[jermtheworm]

i think it will make a difference, just the fact that he's not playing because of what he did, another way to punish them is if they lose today say by the way there goes your #1 seed.

[bustdstuff]

Clemson just tied it up and got a steal

[jermtheworm]

so if UNC loses this game are they still a #1?

[jermtheworm]

mizzou making a run, ou 31-22 w/ 4.5 to go in 1st

[UNC41]

Nevada's loss last night means one less at-large team makes it from a major conference.

I think probably, but there's a possibility not.

[seekupig]

see I think Louisville has an outside shot at a No1 as well

i disagree. they're conference is average at best, and in the non-conference the only ranked team they played was Jelly, and they lost that. Arizona and KU could jump Louisville before they got a #1 seed.

[bustdstuff]

For those who might know what I'm talking about jellysucks is one word right? Ok.

[jermtheworm]

OU 35-27 half

[jermtheworm]

OU 35-27 half


sorry OU 37-29...my bad

[bustdstuff]

They better get it together. Clemson looks like a team possesed. I always say never underestimate the team that has to win to get in.

[watchtower41]

So much for Northwestern covering... LOl. Clemson up 6 with about 12 left is what I gather here??

[UNC41]

For the love of God would you at least attempt to get a rebound. Felton is the only one playing with any desire whatsoever out there.

[bustdstuff]

If Clemson wins this game I think I might have to jump on the bandwagon (even though my team is in their conf.) for them to win the ACC. Just to have a non-lock team get in. Duke's in so why not?

[DMBfan14567]

i think i saw somebody mention that here, check the past couple of pages of threads:)
I saw that, I think he was asking the same thing as me... :)

UNC down 8....7 minutes left....cut the deficit from 14 a few minutes ago

[jermtheworm]

UNC down 8....7 minutes left....cut the deficit from 14 a few minutes ago

thank you

[bustdstuff]

Well it's not out of the realm of possibility that Mizzou could still pull it out. Down 10 with 12 to go. And it looks like UNC is finally getting some energy in their play. Still down 6.

[watchtower41]

Clemson has this in them...........

what was that Double Tech all about?? Ive been trying to follow on line play by plays, it does not justice whatsoever. BTW, I know youre all happy for me, but after being down thirty something, Northwestern came back and covered. Illini by 17 :thumbsup

[bustdstuff]

Watching this UNC game makes me realize why I love ACC bball so much. The bottom teams will never be intimidated by the top teams, and that just doesn't happen in a lot of conferences. Althought UNC is making quite a run right now less than 5 to go Clemson by 2 with the ball. UNC got a couple of big 3's.

[bustdstuff]

UNC just fouled!! And 1 biotch!

[UNC41]

Let's go Heels. Get it started here Raymond by hitting a couple of free throws and then picking up the intensity on the defensive end.

[bustdstuff]

What is Clemson doing?!?!? And if I was Roy I'd be thinking of ways to convince these guys that you cannot just turn it on late against everyone. This kind of play could come back to bite them later.

[UNC41]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh yesssssssss Raymond. If UNC can hang on to this the win is solely on him.

[bustdstuff]

Clemson really did made a case for themselves today. Over the last two games they looked like a legit tourney team.

[DMBfan14567]

How about Mizzou up by one?


Damn you beat me to it. :lorraine


ou goes down and buries a 3 then mizzou takes it right back down and gets 2, game is tied, man this game has gotten really good, the crowd seams to favor mizzou.

[UNC41]

That was a hell of a comeback, but its March and you can't play like UNC did for the first 30 minutes of the game and hope to be successful. I hope the team that seemed to be forcing turnovers at will, making jump shots, and hitting the glass will show up from here on out.

[ryguy178]

yay for mizzou ESPN2 bonus coverage!

[jermtheworm]

Whew!!!..... OU wins 83-79! I need a beer.

[UNC41]

OU did what they needed to do to win that game in the last four minutes. They didn't turn the ball over and hit their free throws. Meanwhile, Mizzou turned the ball over in a key situation and fouled a three-point shooter, big no-nos.

Time for GT vs. VT. I'll take GT.

[UNC41]

I was excited about catching some of the Minnesota/Indiana game because some are saying the winner gets a bid (although I think UM is already in), but listening to Steve Lavin announce a game is like pulling teeth. He's monotone and shows no emotion whatsoever. I'd rather listen to Dukie V anyday.

yeah, a win tonite would lock it up though. besides, i'm developing a strong dislike for Wake Forest all of a sudden and would love to see them bow out early.

[UNC41]

I fear that seeding in the Illini's bracket.

If I'm a 1 seed I sure don't want to see GT. Thankfully I don't think the committee will put them in the bracket as a 1 from the ACC.

[seekupig]

If I'm a 1 seed I sure don't want to see GT. Thankfully I don't think the committee will put them in the bracket as a 1 from the ACC.

they're not allowed to put teams from the same conference on the same half of a bracket, so there's no way UNC could see anybody from the ACC until the regional final.

[watchtower41]

Yellow Jackets seem to be getting used to BJ Elder being back in the lineup at just the right time. this could be a very dangerous 8/9 team for a #1 in the second round.



yet another reason why I am secretly hoping KU doesnt grab a 1. The tourney committee would bark at the opportunity for another rematch with these two.

I supported him all the way until thirty minutes ago. He and Bracey need to go.

I can say this b/c my partner is out watching the game, but ISU is dead in the tourney. No depth at all. No bench points at all in this game.

I like that we don't know who at least one of the #1 seed will be. If any combination of Kentucky, Kansas, Zona, Duke, and Louisville win their conference tournament it will be interesting to see who the NCAA gives it to.

i honestly don't think kansas or arizona is going to get a #1 seed...im convinced its still going to be kentucky..unless duke wins the ACC they might get the 1

we all new nc state would win. how about wvu? shitty foul at the end for nova. let them play overtime for christ sake. got to root for su tonight because i hate uconn

WVU has really impressed me thus far in the tourney...the final should be a good game no matter who they play..and they might, just might have a chance to win the big east

If I were him, I'd take the next couple days off. They don't need him at this point. They've been the best team all season and this tourney really doesn't have a bearing on their seed.

how many times does UK have to kick their ass this season :lol

I agree, the report I saw there was still a possibility he would coach. I don't think I would if I were him

[bdb23]

I wouldn't either. They're a solid #1 seed and they've got some of the best team composure to withstand having the assistant coach them.

I came down with flu-like symptoms about 2 days ago and I think it's at its worst now. I got to shake this thing before the game tomorrow. There's nothing worse than having to attend a sporting event when you're under the weather. Thank god it's indoors. Talk to everyone tomorrow. Exciting day of quarterfinals, though. :thumbsup

[haildmb]

Yeah Wolfpack, hell of a game they played. They looked damn good, even without Bethel. If the fact of just beating Wake wasn't enough to get in the tourny, certainly beating them by 16 was.

And dumbass (aka, julie), no one ever said anything about the UK PROGRAM being overrated, just their team this year. Big difference.

[unccrombie]

Dumbass if you read all the posts, someone said every year UK is over-rated :eek

You will see HOW over-rated they are when they win

[onemoredrink41]

how immature are you people? leave bad rep because your opinion is that UK is over-rated -- pretty sad.. you can talk shit, but you can't take it back from a girl, pretty sad.

I've said Jelly has been overrated the past two years and this year, nothing about the program as a whole. The two years before this they were the number one overall seed going into the tournament and failed to reach the Final Four both years, hence overrated.

I really don't care who wins either way in your game today, but OU-Kansas for the tournament championship has already happened several times. I don't think I've ever seen OU-osu in the tournament championship game. I even wonder if it's ever happened.

Well I'm heading out to drive to Minneapolis this morning and then flying to Vegas tomorrow. Good luck to all your teams for the rest of conference tournaments and the beginning of the NCAA's, but may the Tar Heels come out on top.

Well hopefully the Memphis fans will be mature enough to realize how insanely tough that situation was and embrace the poor kid rather than hang him out to dry.

[trippingbilly12]

What happened in that memphis-louisville game? I saw the score and figured it was a hell of a game, but what did the kid do wrong?

[EatSleepJeep]

Minnesota's keeping up nicely, forcing bad mistakes from Illinois. Now if the officials would just arrive for the 2nd half, we could have a game...

[meatball41]

What happened in that memphis-louisville game? I saw the score and figured it was a hell of a game, but what did the kid do wrong?

Memphis kid got fouled shooting a 3 with no time left on the clock and with Memphis down 2. Goes to the line with no time left on the clock with a chance to at least tie the game as well as win it. Knocked down the first free throw to bring them within one. Just has to make one of two to put it into o.t. Rimmed out both the second and third freethrows - Louisville wins 75-74.....DOH!!! :BANG

That was one of the ugliest halves I've seen the Illini play all year. If they continue to turn the ball over like that, they'll be going no where fast.

[DMBfan41]

That poor kid. I just saw the highlights. I absolutely hate seeing that. I know its not much of a comparison, but I have been in simliar positions like that in High School basketball. I thought those were nerve wracking as hell. People can't even imagine how hard that would be.

[EatSleepJeep]

They're lucky that Minnesota isn't capitalizing on turnovers very well, otherwise UI would be in a heap of trouble. How many times has Illinois passed it to nobody? 6?

This is two games in a row now where Dee Brown hasn't been a factor on either side of the ball, whereas the last 10 games of the year he literally dictated the outcomes of those games by himself. I'm beginning to wonder if he's healthy.

Always finding the silver lining in a loss. I'd rather them win the ACC and move out of an 8-9 seed at this point. :D

Not trying to pick a fight but I do find it amusing that the Illini can win and UNC can lose, but yet you say that the UNC loss hurts the Illini. I'd rather them win and move to a 6-7 seed and be on the other side of the bracket at this point.

id rather have illi out in the 3rd-4th round so unc can breeze in ;) plus if duke wins the acc tourney they could have that 4th #1 seed and it could be an acc-tri-fector. i hope to god ga tech shuts them down though
