[asmjm39]

two years ago I had to watch all the 1st and 2nd round games on a Watchman

[Wildmoose31]

3 and offensive fould
fuck yes

[asmjm39]

thats a weak charge

[haildmb]

jesus christ wake you SUCK!

[jay41]

thats a weak charge

that was a shit call

[haildmb]

play some defense for the first time in your fucking existence

[yin_yang]

god is not on Wake's side.

[jay41]

chris paul gone..not good

[bdb23]

Bye-bye nutsack puncher!!!

[asmjm39]

that should be a nocall if nothing else, that dude was nowhere near set

[bdb23]

Gansey is your PTP'r in OT, baby!!!

[yin_yang]

[justinandimcool]

fkl;adjkasl;djfkl;djasdkl;jasdfkl;jdfkl;aklj;fdajl ;ajadlkjfasdkl;j !!!!!!!!!!!1

HOMEKEYS!!!

[justinandimcool]

Not Me!!!!!!

[haildmb]

i'm for wake

[asmjm39]

[justinandimcool]

dammit dammit dammit

[asmjm39]

dammit thats twice!

[yin_yang]

ok cool...

aaah downey's 3rd foul.

[jay41]

these calls are bullshit

[justinandimcool]

asdlk;jfadklsjfaklfuck!!!

[Wildmoose31]

wow another three
and a shit charge call on wake

[yin_yang]

...and thats the nail in the coffin.

[haildmb]

this is fucking bullshit

[ExistenceNow]

ballgame.. goodnight... gameover... drive home safely...

[asmjm39]

ummm no, not quite, theres tons of time left

[Wildmoose31]

still 220 left though, and wake scores fast when they are down

[justinandimcool]

what are you talking about there are more minutes than possessions

[asmjm39]

alright maybe so

[Wildmoose31]

one hell of a block

[justinandimcool]

ouch....ok maybe now its over

[yin_yang]

its done.

[jay41]

they call a carry now...wow

[yin_yang]

carrying....fuck i hate my life im gonna go kil myself right now.

[asmjm39]

WHAT????????:lorraine

[bdb23]

Downey's been carrying that ball all night. It's about time.

[haildmb]

what a fucking call, that's terrible

[bdb23]

Let the Wake fans begin crying....

[Wildmoose31]

wow, a minute left, wvu better hit their foul shots

[asmjm39]

if you dont call it all game, it aint right to start calling it with just over a minute left in double OT

[Wildmoose31]

i can imagine wake fans going nuts right now, screaming at the televisions, rightfully so

[haildmb]

wow....

he can't be stopped when theres no time left

[yin_yang]

downey just repaid that travel.

[ExistenceNow]

god damn.... Downey WONT fucking quit

[Wildmoose31]

of course they sure do hit 3s when they are losing

[bdb23]

if you dont call it all game, it aint right to start calling it with just over a minute left in double OT
BS. It's been getting higher and higher all night. He's dribbling above his damn shoulder now.

[ExistenceNow]

i can imagine wake fans going nuts right now, screaming at the televisions, rightfully so

fuck yea.. i'm going fucking hoarse and i'm a Texas fan!

[ousooner]

they call a carry now...wow

Carrying is such a bullshit call anymore. They carry the ball every time they dribble. Either make them dribble right or do away with the rule. It gives the ball handler so much control that it's almost impossible to make a steal.

[yin_yang]

true, those gangstas and their image.

[asmjm39]

BS. It's been getting higher and higher all night. He's dribbling above his damn shoulder now.
we'll agree to disagree on that one counselor, thats a weak call this late

[Wildmoose31]

and they cant make freethrows, but wake cant make layups

[justinandimcool]

3 layups!!! 3 damn layups!!!! MAKE ONE!

[asmjm39]

good grief how many chances do they need from point blank range?

[ousooner]

we'll agree to disagree on that one counselor, thats a weak call this late

It was the right call, he carried. It doesn't matter where in the game it happened.

[justinandimcool]

What The Fuck Why Did He Take That

[Wildmoose31]

and wake finally misses a 3

[haildmb]

well that was a brilliant decision strickland

[asmjm39]

alright, now I hate the three again, but I am sure that will change in after these free throws

[bdb23]

It was the right call, he carried. It doesn't matter where in the game it happened.
:thumbsup

[yin_yang]

Paul would have made that

[justinandimcool]

asdfl;askdjflasdk;jasdl;ksadj there goes my final four

[asmjm39]

game over now

[Wildmoose31]

game over

[yin_yang]

and Paul would've kicked it out to SOMEONE as well.

[asmjm39]

It was the right call, he carried. It doesn't matter where in the game it happened.

I disagree with you also :lorraine :lorraine

[bdb23]

Still hitting those 3's. Amazing.

[yin_yang]

Downey just won't go down, respect.

[justinandimcool]

Cmon 8 seconds lets go Reggie Miller on their ass

[asmjm39]

there goes one of my FF, thank goodness I had Illinois beating them

[Wildmoose31]

wvu should just touch the ball and throw it up really high, i dont know why they never do that, 4 seconds easily

[justinandimcool]

there goes one of my FF, thank goodness I had Illinois beating them

same

[Wildmoose31]

I had them beating duke and winning it all, im happy though

[ousooner]

I disagree with you also :lorraine :lorraine

So you are saying that the officials should base the enforcement of the rules on what stage of the game it is?

[asmjm39]

I guess I should have picked UW after all, oh well

[yin_yang]

haha, good idea, no use now they they got it won, Downey can't do shit with his 3's

[jay41]

well that was one hell of a game

[Wildmoose31]

a great march so far I must say

[ousooner]

Mmmmmm Im still pretty sure you're gonna see 3 ACC teams in the final four then either OK St. or Illinois occupying the 4th spot.

Theres no one to stop Duke.

Theres no one to stop UNC.. Jelly or UConn arent gonna do that.

And Wake should make it through their bracket anyways.

And the Illinois vs/ OK St. or Arizona matchup should be tough.

:lol 0 for 1

[yin_yang]

it was nice peeking in here for a few mins, nice to meet some of you nDMBc'ers

[bdb23]

I guess they really didn't deserve that #1 seed. LATER SUCKERS!!!!

[yin_yang]

and of course some DMBc'ers

[justinandimcool]

#2 and #3 teams, gone and Washington your #1, this side of the bracket is wild

[asmjm39]

So you are saying that the officials should base the enforcement of the rules on what stage of the game it is?


no, I am saying that was borderline at best. borderline calls shouldnt decide games.

[ExistenceNow]

well... i've got some rough wiping ahead of me, so i better drink up... FUCK!!!!!!!

[Dave G]

Well that was one for the ages

[ousooner]

no, I am saying that was borderline at best. borderline calls shouldnt decide games.

Ok, so you weren't sold that it was a carry? That makes more sense. I thought it definitely was.

[ousooner]

Well that was one for the ages

:thumbsup A classic

[bdb23]

Now we need OSU to go down and the Illini's march gets easier.

[asmjm39]

nope, too close to call, could be, couldnt be, if its that close, really it should be a no-call

[bdb23]

Ok, so you weren't sold that it was a carry? That makes more sense. I thought it definitely was.
The ball was above his damn head by the time he got done palming it.

[tyler1389]

Now we need OSU to go down and the Illini's march gets easier.

don't think like that.

[rcarlsn612]

really opened up the bracket for louisville

[bdb23]

don't think like that.
Sorry. This side of the bracket is crumbling.

[jay41]

so who will go the elite 8, TT or WVU?

[asmjm39]

The ball was above his damn head by the time he got done palming it.


we'll never agree on this, so lets talk about what we can agree on, Illini all the way

[haildmb]

really opened up the bracket for louisville


this bracket is Georgia Tech's to lose

[bdb23]

we'll never agree on this, so lets talk about what we can agree on, Illini all the way
:lol :thumbsup

[asmjm39]

see, isnt that better? make :humpy not :lorraine

[ousooner]

this bracket is Georgia Tech's to lose

Haven't we learned our lesson yet? We have no clue whose going to win what :D

[bdb23]

Haven't we learned our lesson yet? We have no clue whose going to win what :D
Exactly. At this point, I expect Bucknell or Vermont in the Sweet 16 after tomorrow. What a crazy tournament.

[Beeshie]

I think my blood pressure is up around 200 after that game!!!! hahahahaha
I keep thinking about the thread some dude started trying to say that NBA is better than NCAA..... he'd be changing his mind real quick if he watched that game!!!!!!

[haildmb]

:thumbsup damn right. There hasn't ever been an nba game close to as good as that game, and we're talking about a 2nd round game here.

[SatelliteEyes]

Booo Hoooo!! :lorraine :lorraine

What is ESPN going to do now that one of their dear ACC teams has been eliminated??? What on Earth are they going to talk about?? The Big Ten? Washington?!! GASP! NO!!!!!!!!

O-VER RA-TED!!!

O-VER RA-TED!!!


Ahhh, ACC teams losing early in the tourney makes me happy....maybe dave can use that as a new intro to Recently!!

Uh, son, you do realize every other conference lost a team (or more) before the ACC did, right? Wake up.

Oh, and we still have Georgia Tech, Duke, and UNC left. Remember them?

[HolyCow]

That one was an instant classic. What a freakin game

[SatelliteEyes]

Uh, son, you do realize every other conference lost a team (or more) before the ACC did, right? Wake up.

Oh, and we still have Georgia Tech, Duke, and UNC left. Remember them?


What?? There are other conferences?? After watching ESPN for the past 2 weeks I thought there were only two - ACC and Big East.

Anyway - I thought it was a joke that just about every ESPN analyst had Wake, Duke and UNC in their final four...if GT had been in Chicago you can bet your bottom dollar that ESPN would have put them in their final four as well. The ACC had 3 teams that had 20 win seasons in the regular season - not exactly a super conference - of course the counter argument is that everyone from top to bottom is so damn good that they beat eachother up - yeah Maryland was top notch,all year.

I am pulling for Illinois, Washington, Utah, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan State, etc. The teams that have to do more before Dick Vitale goes down on them.

Many thought Wake was the best team in the best conference - West Virginia exposed them for the frauds they are - of course, Illinois did a much more convincing job earlier in the year...but I am sure ESPN had an excuse for that.

[unccrombie]

i hate all that is mike gansey. i mean i like what WVU is doing, but stop screwin me over every time

[HolyCow]

Being a Big 12 fan I have to totally agree with you. Dick Vitale will wash Coach K's butthole he is so in love with Duke. Come on Iowa St, O State and T TECH!

wake is far from frauds. how can u say WVU winning 1 game makes wake frauds? WVU simply wanted it more. Wake also lost more key players due to fouls, and mike gansey was on. you play wake/wvu in a best of 7 i GUARANTEE wake wins 5/7. not like it matters now though

and your maryland argument? cough notre dame cough

[HolyCow]

I believe he was calling out the Big East as well....I think the Big East is entirely overrated...He is a Big 10 fan, so maybe call out Indiana

[unccrombie]

I believe he was calling out the Big East as well....I think the Big East is entirely overrated...He is a Big 10 fan, so maybe call out Indiana
big 10 has to be the worst conference around this year

[SatelliteEyes]

big 10 has to be the worst conference around this year


What happens if the Big 10 puts 3 teams in the sweet 16 and one of them wins the entire thing??

[unccrombie]

What happens if the Big 10 puts 3 teams in the sweet 16 and one of them wins the entire thing??
you mean illinions? cause thats the only team that will have a chance

[SatelliteEyes]

I believe he was calling out the Big East as well....I think the Big East is entirely overrated...He is a Big 10 fan, so maybe call out Indiana


Yes, I am a Big 10 fan and...surprise! Yes they have been weak from top to bottom - but for the past few years the Big Ten has been strong on top with teams like Michigan State, Illiniois and Wisconsin, and up until a few years ago Pudue and Indiana...still - they are always written off as also rans until they FORCE people to pay attention.

Hell Yes the bottom of the Big East, Big 12 and ACC is better than the big 10 - so is the middle. But the "Big 3" in the Big 10 should be taken just as seriously as any other league...and they are not, and that irks me.

I was so annoyed when I saw all the experts project 3 ACC teams in the final four - it made me root harder against them. I don't really know why though, next year the experts will have 3 more ACC teams in their Final Four.

[HolyCow]

So who does everyone like in the T Tech- WVU...My dad picked T Tech on the final four and everyone laughed at him. He is looking pretty smart right now. I had em in the sweet sixteen but I think Texas Tech will be in the Elite 8. But heck, with this freakin tournament there isn't anything you can know

[SatelliteEyes]

Bracket update - Just one scenario where I can win the Ants bracket challange- and it doesnt look good.

The Rest of the sweet 16:

Ok. St., Louisville, Duke, Wisconsin, Mich. St., UNC, Villanova, UConn

Elite 8:

Wisconsin, UNC, Mich. St., Utah, Illinois, Ok. St., Louisville, TT/WVU

Final Four:

UNC, Illinois, UTAH/MSU, Louisville

Final

Ill. v. UNC

Winner : Illinois

That is pretty much the only shot I have. Kiss it goodbye.

[HolyCow]

thats not too far of a long shot

[DMBfan41]

So who does everyone like in the T Tech- WVU...My dad picked T Tech on the final four and everyone laughed at him. He is looking pretty smart right now.

West Virginia is looking very hot. I'm gonna go with them

[unccrombie]

if unc beats nova, they should have no problem with the championship game

[unccrombie]

West Virginia is looking very hot. I'm gonna go with them
they were hot in the big east tourney, then got spanked

[DMBfan41]

Booo Hoooo!! :lorraine :lorraine

theres still Duke, UNC, Georgia Tech, NC State.

[DMBfan41]

they were hot in the big east tourney, then got spanked

yeah, but if they didn't do so well in the big east tournament, they wouldn't be in the big dance. And with emotional victories like the two they have, they are looking mighty strong.

[unccrombie]

yeah, but if they didn't do so well in the big east tournament, they wouldn't be in the big dance. And with emotional victories like the two they have, they are looking mighty strong.
same thing with beating bc though. we'll see

[DMBfan41]

Albuquerque raped me good. 4-4 in the first round, currently 0-3 in the second round. I really need Georgia Tech to win!

[DrewLeon738]

anyone else call first round perfectlyand get perfectly screwed tonight?

[unccrombie]

with wake losing my albuquerque is shot too. i had texas t losing to WF and then WF beating louisville

[DrewLeon738]

haha good call, exactly what i had

[DMBfan41]

I'm currently 3-7 in the second round.

The only thing that is keeping me surviving is I still have my final four and 6 of my elite eight

[unccrombie]

yeah, real good call

[DMBfan41]

Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Texas Tech, and West Virginia were all supposed to lose in the first round, lol

[unccrombie]

Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Texas Tech, and West Virginia were all supposed to lose in the first round, lol
texas tech is a force. i just hate the other 2

[DMBfan41]

Wisconsin-Milwaukee is damn aggressive, I'll be pulling for them over Illinois

[unccrombie]

Wisconsin-Milwaukee is damn aggressive, I'll be pulling for them over Illinois
but there can only be 1 mccants ;)

[DMBfan41]

I can't believe 4.9% on Yahoo! had Wisc-Milwaukee winning in the second round. Only 4.5% picked West Virginia.

Here's a killer, 93.7% had Wake Forest going to the Sweet 16.

[ryguy178]

could you imagine like a Wisc-Milwaukee vs WVU final four?? :ugh

[DMBfan41]

ha, this years final four.

Wisconsin-Milwaukee vs West Virginia
Bucknell vs Vermont

[HolyCow]

NO! I can't imagine that nor do I ever want to.

[justinandimcool]

It'd be nice to see at least one underseeded team in the final four

[DMBfan41]

hey justin, if the rest of my picks are right, you'll come in second

[justinandimcool]

hey justin, if the rest of my picks are right, you'll come in second

[justinandimcool]

Why, what happened to him?

[HolyCow]

Oh nothing...he is just a really tremendously nice guy. He realizes basketball is fun and isn't the end of the world if you lose. He really cares for his players and I just really like him.

[justinandimcool]

oh i see, that's cool...if Vermont went all the way it wouldn't kill me...I don't think anyone else here picked them so I'd still have a chance.

[justinandimcool]

I must go now and sleep...goodbye fellow antsmarching.orgers...i love you all...go Duke

[clayj41]

Fuckin' Wake Forest!!! I'm not even gonna look at my bracket. I'm just gonna cheer for the underdogs the rest of the way through, unless they're playing UNC of course. These last two days have further proven that March is truly the greatest time of year. Today I'm 20 years old, and I'm gonna go have another beer now.

[bdb23]

Wisconsin-Milwaukee is damn aggressive, I'll be pulling for them over Illinois
As if this is supposed to shock us??? Let me know a team they could play where you'd pull for the Illini.

[paris72]

What an exciting night in college hoops. The Madness is all around....


Good game CATS! Sweet 16 bound

[haildmb]

Absolutely. I also like what it does for Texas Tech. Anyone else like Tech in the Final Four?

[haildmb]

Anyone else like Tech in the Final Four?


if you mean Georgia Tech, then yes :D

[snapmcd]

Fair enough--got me on the technicality (ouch).

Confused, though. You have Go Duke, your location is NC State, and you're pulling for the Yellow Jackets.

it does not. I'm definitly cheering against those fuckers from the big 12 still in the tourney

[trippingbilly12]

it will be a reocurring theme for the next 9-10 weeks

state's defense looks good, offense not so much

That UConn loss has to be salt in the wound for the Kansas fans. They would have been that much closer to North Carolina.

hey watch your mouth, you think kansas can beat State? pffff! :D :lol

[DMBfan41]

So far only Kentucky, Illinois, and Arizona are in the sweet 16.

If Oklahoma St, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Villanova, and Duke win. I could have half of my 16. I guess that's not so bad.

5 of my elite eight are left

ohh the humanity

[haildmb]

i've got 5 of my sweet 16 right so far, 5 more I can possibly get right.

not my best showing ever *grumble*

[unccrombie]

john, big win for nc state today, you get a point

[haildmb]

haha, thanks :lol

[trippingbilly12]

well hopefully Ok state loses so I will only have 1 final four team left






but seriously, Kansas lost and my bracket is so fucked up I just want to see mass chaos in this damn tournament. I'm loving all these upsets, even if they destroy my bracket

no kidding. It was one of the best games I have ever seen. It helped that I was getting very intoxicated while watching it with a bunch of friends

i almost go to go up to OKC for these games

*bitterly looks at television with jealously*

[Fooltothink55]

UCONN. damn. :(

[ExistenceNow]

looks like ballgame in OKC

[trippingbilly12]

UCONN. damn. :(

UNC started off with the hardest bracket and now look at it. Everyones gone

[ExistenceNow]

that Arizona/Ok. St. game is going to be something

[clayj41]

UCONN. damn. :(

:thumbsup As if my bracket wasn't already fucked up.

You should check out the leaders on yahoo. not just the ants group, but of everyone. theres a guy who has done damn well, i haven't checked how he has done today though.

Yeah, but a Sweet 16 matchup with Villanova really worries me.

[Fooltothink55]

I know. I knew it would be tough filling out the bracket this year, but come on this is nuts.

[Nautiest_monkey]

Rock.
Chalk.
Second Round Exit LOCK.

:)



their seniors have played in two Final Fours and an Elite Eight, i think a second round exit is taking the choke joke a little far

I laughed when I read back over that.

[HolyCow]

that Arizona/Ok. St. game is going to be something


You are darn right about that. And then the winner will play Illinois (maybe). Wow, some good games ahead of us.

[Davenumber40]

god cincinasty sucks

That was the game of their season. Most of the year they looked like they played in the last 5 minutes last night. The sad thing is that was their biggest game in 10 years. Did you all realize that UC fans would say they are one of the 10 best teams in the country every year? I'm loving listening to the Cincy sports radio today.
Bring on Utah.
