A one point win and a 2 point loss against them this season. Id LOVE to see that game in the final 4. :D

[paris72]

Come one Miss. St! You can beat the Dookies! :bounce

[trippingbilly12]

Come one Miss. St! You can beat the Dookies! :bounce

Miss. St. is just hanging around. Should be a great last few minutes

[trippingbilly12]

And I love how much support Miss St is getting from the UNC fans.

[SatelliteEyes]

Oh By the way....Bucknell looks pretty tough. This 6'11" kid they've got is something like 19-23 from the field in the tourney and he is unstoppable. If Wisconsin wins they will be VERY lucky.

[SatelliteEyes]

Did you watch the KU-Bucknell game? Was this kid McNaughten unconsious Friday night as well?? He doesnt miss.

[SatelliteEyes]

Uh-oh. I'm not wearing my glasses but from where I am sitting it looks like MSU-Duke is tied 50-50.

[trippingbilly12]

of course i watched the KU-Bucknell game. Where I am we are getting the Duke-Miss St game though

[paris72]

Uh-oh. I'm not wearing my glasses but from where I am sitting it looks like MSU-Duke is tied 50-50.

And they get the bullshit foul call then fucking hack State on the other end...and get a late call.

[bdb23]

Bye-bye Georgia Tech. Louisville is gonna crush Washington. That's about all I have left for my brackets.

[Wildmoose31]

And they get the bullshit foul call then fucking hack State on the other end...and get a late call.
exactly, duke always gets the calls, its fucking sickening

[ousooner]

Come on Duke!

I hate coach K with a passion, and Jim Beohiem, they look like whiny bitches

[Wildmoose31]

[trippingbilly12]

I hate coach K with a passion, and Jim Beohiem, they look like whiny bitches

judging basketball coaches by the way you think they look, thats always good

[ousooner]

I hate coach K with a passion, and Jim Beohiem, they look like whiny bitches

How can you not like Coach K? He runs the cleanest and best program there is.

[haildmb]

yeah baby!

Sorry haters, Duke moves on!

[Wildmoose31]

How can you not like Coach K? He runs the cleanest and best program there is.
I dont, and i dont think thier the "Best" program there is. And its not just by how they look, Duke gets all the calls, its unbelievable. I dont judge any coaches on how they look, but Boeheims always got a damn smirk and bitches about everything.

[ExistenceNow]

8-8 in second round...

[haildmb]

Duke gets all the calls, its unbelievable.


:lorraine

[Wildmoose31]

:lorraine
Your saying they dont?

[ousooner]

I dont, and i dont think thier the "Best" program there is. And its not just by how they look, Duke gets all the calls, its unbelievable.

Wow! If there's a better program, I'd like to know who it is.

[Wildmoose31]

Wow! If there's a better program, I'd like to know who it is.
Well how exactly do you define program?

[haildmb]

yeah baby, all 3 research triangle park teams in the sweet 16. North Carolina makes up nearly 25% of the 16 teams left :lol

[ExistenceNow]

Wow! If there's a better program, I'd like to know who it is.

TEXAS baby... yea right... doesn't get much better than Duke over the years

[haildmb]

Your saying they dont?


yes. and this is a tired, old argument.

[SatelliteEyes]

I like Coach K. I have a lot of respect for him and his program. I even like his players for the most part. I just like it when Duke loses. Sort of like when the Yankees get beat - except without all the money.

They have Michigan State next? I think Duke will handle them, hopefully it is close and MSU can pull something off.

Big Ten looks alright to me. Illinois, Wisconsin, MSU. In fact, the midwest is doing alright when you add UW-Mil to the mix.

[haildmb]

you mention a whole conference, and then an entire region of the united states. I'm mentioning 3 schools where the largest separation between any of them is 25 miles :D

[DMBfan41]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke

I hope it's Ok. St. and Tech in the final four... I guess I'm going to pull for Tech from now on...

I'll never really understand why. The argument that they always win is just dome considering they haven't won since 2001.

I think people just hate Duke because if you like someone else, it's just the "cool" thing to do

[ousooner]

Big Ten looks alright to me. Illinois, Wisconsin, MSU. In fact, the midwest is doing alright when you add UW-Mil to the mix.

That's going a bit far now isn't it? Claiming a conference is one thing, but claiming an entire region is a bit much.

[bdb23]

you mention a whole conference, and then an entire region of the united states. I'm mentioning 3 schools where the largest separation between any of them is 25 miles :D
When you overpopulate a certain region, that's bound to happen. Look at the volume of DMB shows in that region. But so much for the Big Ten being down at this point. We've got 3 in. :D

[bdb23]

so does the ACC

[ousooner]

Alright, I'm claiming OState, Texas Tech, Louisville, & Kentucky :D

[bdb23]

so does the ACC
But the ACC expected to have more than 3 with the way everyone was talking in here. We were probably expected to have 1 or 2. :D

[bdb23]

For year in, year out basketball schools, it is. Name me another region where that is the case.

[bdb23]

Alright, I'm claiming OState, Texas Tech, Louisville, & Kentucky :D
I guess you have to claim something at this point. :D

[DMBfan41]

7 out of 16 were my picks, oh the humanity

[SatelliteEyes]

Does it count that Madison and Milwaukee are in the same state and only 60 miles apart?

[haildmb]

For year in, year out basketball schools, it is. Name me another region where that is the case.


*scratches head* are you making my point here?

I think you are... RTP = Basketball Center of the World

[bdb23]

Does it count that Madison and Milwaukee are in the same state and only 60 miles apart?
No. It has to be within 25 miles. You get Marquette and UW-Mil. Sorry. I get DePaul, Northwestern and Loyola. :D

[ousooner]

I guess you have to claim something at this point. :D

Hey, we are a football school :D

[RJ2kWJ]

Well the game I was watching it seemed like Miss. St. got every call imaginable. The whole not giving Duke the T.O. thing. When Randolph was on the floor they were yanking at his jersey and they called jump ball.

And Im somene that admits when Duke gets a lot of the calls. Not this time.

Ah well... they have 4 days to get their shit together (JJ showing his true abilities will hopefully come this game) and Im calling a 12+ point victory over Mich. St.

[bdb23]

*scratches head* are you making my point here?

I think you are... RTP = Basketball Center of the World
But not Center of the World like you all think. There are other places out there with talent as shown this last 4 days. :D

[bdb23]

Hey, we are a football school :D
I know. And we're not (as of late).

[DMBfan41]

But the ACC expected to have more than 3 with the way everyone was talking in here. We were probably expected to have 1 or 2. :D

Illinois was definately expected, Michigan St. was pretty close to sure in, and Wisonsin benefited from playing an 11 and a 14 seed.

I'm taking NC State over Wisconsin

[unccrombie]

Illinois was definately expected, Michigan St. was pretty close to sure in, and Wisonsin benefited from playing an 11 and a 14 seed.

You would have thought Kansas would have benefitted from playing a 14 seed.

I could have sworn I heard Vitale and Bilas say something earlier in March that the Sweet 16 would have 6 ACC schools in it, that the Final Four would have no fewer than 3 ACC schools and that the Final would be ACC v. ACC. Then, the ACC would solve world hunger.

[DMBfan41]

Alright, time to head back to FDU.

but, here are my picks for the elite eight.

Wisc-Milwaukee
Oklahoma St.
Louisville
West Virginia
North Carolina
N.C. State
Duke
Utah

[ExistenceNow]

Hey, we are a football school :D

same here... but damn do we have a KICK ASS Baseball program... well... we just got fucking swept by baylor after having only lost 1 game on the season... but still, kick ass!

i didnt do anyone online bracket picks... didnt know they existed... but i did fill out my bracket at home (and haven't changed it)... i totaled up how many points i'd have (in yahoo) and i'd be at 48... not too good, but not too bad for my first time ever doing the bracket thing.

Good to see you haven't lost your form. Keep flopping back and forth like the hypocrite you are. Now leave the discussion and we'll hear from you in a couple days when it suits you to show up.

[haildmb]

this'll be interesting...

they haven't announced the times yet (to my knowledge) for the games next week... but NCSU, UNC, and Duke will all be playing Friday night. Obviously State and UNC will be at opposite times, but the Duke game is going to be on at the same time as one of the two. Which game will TV here in North Carolina be televising?

So, I'm tied for third in that Ants bracket. It's funny because on one of my ESPN brackets I just goofed off, and it's my best bracket. I have 460 total points and 11/16 Sweet 16 teams. The only problem is that my Final Four prediction was Arizona, Gonzaga, UNC, and Vermont.

[UNC41]

Great weekend of college basketball, just got back from Spring Break but I managed to watch a hell of a lot of basketball. Damn I wish it were March every month. The sports books in Vegas were awesome to watch games in with the spread of games coming down to the last minute. Great atmosphere.

I'll never really understand why. The argument that they always win is just dome considering they haven't won since 2001.

I think people just hate Duke because if you like someone else, it's just the "cool" thing to do

I don't hate teams or players that are good. I do hate players or coaches that seem like whiny bitches. I'm sorry but I think coach K, and JJ are whiny little bitches and Wojo used to be a whiny bitch. It's the same reason I hate Bob Huggins, Walsh, and Garcia.
This isn't an issue of jealousy or how much success the programs have. I'm a Kentucky fan and I hate Sparks for being that way. There are plenty of good programs that I don't feel that way about (UNC, Illinois, KU, UConn). There is just something different about the people I named in the whiny bitch group. Sorry if I named your team.

Coach K def. NOT a whiny bitch. He is a friggin awesome person for sure.

JJ on the otherhand... can def. be whiny. INSANE player... but can be winy sometimes.

[ousooner]

fuck bucknell

You can't be hating on Bucknell. That's the greatness of the tournament. You should be hating on your own team for allowing it to happen. Go back and read, I was hating on OU big time yesterday. ;)

[clayj41]

Well, you can't expect them to have Duke and UNC playing at the same time. There would be a lot of pissed off people.

JJ on the otherhand... can def. be whiny. INSANE player... but can be winy sometimes.

of course not, that's why I could never understand why people get so upset that K complains about calls...

[haildmb]

basketball


brilliant.

is the "fuck chuck" still in reference to Mr. Amato? ;)

[RJ2kWJ]

:thumbsup Coach K is the greatest!

Yea he's definitely amazing. Good all around person too. (I found this out at a dinner I had with him, the parents, his wife, and about 5 other people).

But yea... and he got a record tonight! :D

[clayj41]

I don't think Coach K is a whiny bitch just because when his team is losing, he gets emotional. If he did nothing, everyone would say he didn't care. Duke doesn't lose often so you can't blame him for yelling at refs when his team is down. Reddick on the other hand is a player that you can only like if he's on your team. I'll give him props for being a great player, but he's a whiny little bitch as well.

[mwjorgens]

only surprise of this tourney is people beaing surprised by vermont beating SU.

[Davenumber40]

There is something different about the way both he and Huggins do it. It's one thing to yell about the call but they talk to the refs for the entire game. It's hard to explain but it's just a feeling I get when I watch him. I just wanted to put it out there. I don't have a problem with most people associated with Duke, just a couple.

[trippingbilly12]

Reddick on the other hand is a player that you can only like if he's on your team. I'll give him props for being a great player, but he's a whiny little bitch as well.

my thoughts exactly :thumbsup

[ousooner]

of course not, that's why I could never understand why people get so upset that K complains about calls...

If his "whining" is getting Duke the calls then he's doing his job. His job is to give his team any advantage he can, and if that means "whining" then that's what he's going to do.

I like him, he's on my team :D

I saw an interview on ESPN with him, and I feel so bad for him. He's gotta deal with all this shit from moron UNC and Maryland fans. He gets such bad abuse. It's just horrible

It's funny how the fact that a couple of NC State fans were yelling to chris paul that they killed his grandfather or some shit like that makes news, but people rarely care about the verbal abuse directed toward JJ, or the stuff people used to say to Steve Blake. I couldn't stand listening to the dumbass fans here at State yelling the most horrible, obscene things to Blake I'd ever heard.

We get the same shit around here about Bob Stoops that Coach K gets. He gives the refs hell during games and it's the only thing people can find to bitch about when he hangs 50 on their favorite team. Everyone hates a winner.

It's hard for me to feel bad for him the way he acts. It's just like when Walsh comes into Rupp and everyone in the place chants "Walsh is gay". He's hardly the only good player to play here, but we weren't chanting anything like that at KU this year or UNC last year. Hell we didn't even do that to Louisville.

[haildmb]

I'm all for creative, funny insults--for instance, the cameron crazies throwing krispy kreme donut boxes onto the floor while Dennis Scott was at GT--but "I'm gonna slit your throat, Blake!"... that's not creative, or funny

[clayj41]

he's just a kid.

I'm just kidding. From the interviews I've seen, I actually like him when he's not on the court, but when he is on the court it's another story. Seriously though, part of being a great basketball player is getting ripped on by heckling fans. I'm sure it won't have such an effect on him when he's making millions of dollars in the NBA.

There is a tendency for people to hate on teams or people that they percieve as winning too much. Duke, Tiger Woods, Jeff Gordon, the Yankees, the Lakers, soon to be the Patriots if they keep winning. Bill Self and Roy Williams aren't the top dogs. Coach K is.

[trippingbilly12]

funny story, but I had (i might still have actually) Redick's phone number. He was here in Dallas for the Junior Global games or some tournament, and these 2 girls I know met up with him and some of the other guys. They hung out for a few days and he gave her his #. She still has him AIM sn too. But she gave it to me, and one night my buddies and I called him. We weren't assholes to him at all. We actually were telling him how fucking good he was and how good duke was. He was laughing and sayin how phone calls were usually the other way around. He was cool about it, not a big deal

believe the story if you want, but i'm not just bullshitting.

If you don't want to be treated like that don't act like a toolbag. We didn't do that to all the other good players who have come into Rupp many of whom were better than Walsh and few had worse records against us as Walsh has. It isn't because he's good or he kills us. He acts like an ass.

[DMBfan41]

Soon to be? I hate them now! :lol

if you are a fan of another team in the ACC, then hating Duke is understandable. I mean, they won what 6 of the past 7 ACC championships??

Williams and Calhoun have done better in the tournement the last 3 years than coach K. His performance isn't that far above other coaches like the Yankees are over other teams in baseball.

yeah and the Yankees haven't won many world championships recently either.

But Coach K has what, 10 final fours? 3 championships? 6 of the last 7 ACC championships? Yeah no one else is nearly as dominant.

[clayj41]

I was looking for him on facebook, he's not on there, lol. I found a couple on there. I'm still waiting to be added though

I know Sean May is on facebook. I requested him as a friend a couple of months ago, but he didn't add me. I might just have to try again.

:thumbsup And more to come. He will crush all coaching records besides John Woodens 10 national championships if he wants to.

[mwjorgens]

Reddick on the other hand is a player that you can only like if he's on your team. I'll give him props for being a great player, but he's a whiny little bitch as well.

you know nothing about basketball so just go away. love him or hate him hes a good player thats gotten a lot better. i have no idea why everyone hates him but i got a big suspicison its becuase hes WHITE.

[trippingbilly12]

hes just that type of player people hate. I see it in high school basketball and college all the time. Hes fucking good as hell and people hate playing against him

[mwjorgens]

then they need to make the difference. if they are just better than you, or your team then there is nothing wrong with them. being a neutral WI fan i watch duke basketball with a lot of respect cause they win and they do it right. k's players usually graduate and do it with a little class, top notch. so why do people have beef? cause he consistenly does it withline the lines?

[clayj41]

you know nothing about basketball so just go away. love him or hate him hes a good player thats gotten a lot better. i have no idea why everyone hates him but i got a big suspicison its becuase hes WHITE.

Well, I'm sorry for stating my opinion. He really is a great player, and one of the best pure shooters I've ever seen. He's actually probably my all-time favorite Duke player if that means anything, and the main reason for that is because he's white.

[ousooner]

I would hate JJ if he wasn't white

[trippingbilly12]

lets get wtih the program.

[mizzoudmbfan]

But it isn't just being a winner. I'm not saying the same things about Roy Williams or Bill Self.

How many NC's have Self and Roy Boy won? I'll give ya a hint...it rhymes with nero. I can't speak for you personally but I would imagine that is why most people don't have the same hate for them as say K, Yankees, Gordon, etc.

And for what it's worth my girl had Linas Kleiza(no JJ redick but not to bad...for Mizzou) on her facebook, he never really posted or changed his page at all. I personally didnt believe it was actually him, I don't have one myself, but can't you just create a username and give yourself anyname you like?

yeah I am pretty sure you can. Just like on AIM i could make a name/profile that could be just like I am someone famous.

[clayj41]

Funny, on our local news on the sports every Sunday they have a round table with three people. One of the questions was "Do you root for Duke?" One guy said no and the other two said yes because of Coach K.

[clayj41]

Anyone watching espn right now? They did their top 10... #1 is the most incredible thing I've ever seen. I'm feverishly searching for the video clip online.

A kid made a shot, while he was lying on the ground on his back, to tie a game as the time ran out. It was amazing

Here's an article about the game. Hopefully I'll find a video

[trippingbilly12]

damn was this high school?

remember that kid from a couple weeks ago who made the shot to win the game from all the way across the court? Then on the local news they gave him 15 tries to make it again and he drained that shit again on camera

sorry i have a life outside of the internet dumbass. hypocrite? not hardly.

Maybe you shouldn't spend so much time on the internet, go workout. I will

be sure to come back when your team loses their next game.

Peace out big belly.
Hypocrite -- Yes. When you talk all the UK smack about them winning it all and then you abandon them with your picks. What kind of fan are you???

Maybe you need to grow your hair out (butch) and perhaps boys will actually talk to you. I guess that explains a lot of your aggression in this thread. My wife seems to agree with me on this.

I've been here every time (once) that the Illini have lost. You, on the other hand, never seem to be around when Jelly loses. Pretty typical of what we've seen from you.

Again, yet another childish response from someone who needs to learn how to have a discussion.

Welcome back. We were hoping you were okay.

it wasn't as bad as i'd imagined it would be for some reason. i think because it happened so early in the tournament i was more in a state of disbelief than anger. i think not being out in public probably helped a lot too. by thirty minutes after the game, it was almost funny to me. very strange feeling. being in the midst of a 48 hour binger probably didn't hurt either.

:lol I can totally understand.

[gbs3769]

I'm not going to even try to catch up with all of the posts that have been made on this thread.

Something wasn't right with Syracuse on Friday. We looked sluggish, we were making horrible mistakes. It was the Syracuse team that we saw against Pitt rather than the Syracuse team we saw against Villanova.

Three of our reserves were not at the game. Billy Eidelin and Dayshawn Wright did not make the bus trip to Worcester. Josh Wright was in Worcester and practiced with the team but was not on the bench for the game.

The fact that Billy didn't make it wasn't surprising. He has been on Boeheim's shit list ever since he mouthed off to coach and really he has been more of a distraction since the championship season than anything. Dayshawn didn't really make much sense and Josh certainly doesn't. We have yet to hear anything from the University as to why these individuals were not there. Most likely we won't hear anything.

I guess the best thing that we have going is that we can still cheer for 'Nova and boo Julius Hodge when they come here for the regionals.

:thumbsup Did they spell Bucknell wrong??? :D

no, she'd already gotten me with "prick" the week before so i think she was done with me for a couple weeks. i think it stemmed from the "most overrated team in ncaa" poll. i have an idea who it was, but it wasn't someone who posts in this thread regularly. i don't really care, just thought it was kind of stupid to go back to a thread that was over a week old to dig up a post and neg-rep it just to prove a point. as if i hadn't figured out that KU was over rated on friday night.:rolleyes

i hear ya. the best bracket i did was for one of my friends. she doesn't know shit about basketball so i did hers without my "homer" picks. i gave her UNC, Duke, Louisville and Oklahoma St. she's from West Virginia, so i had WV knocking off Wake and making it to the Elite Eight. she also had UW-Milwaukee in the sweet sixteen, as well as NC State. she's looking good for the moment but as we all know that can change in hurry.

[jermtheworm]

Even though my bracket is gone, I've really enjoyed watching the games. They have all been competitive for most of the game, even the 1 seeds haven't blown anyone out (except for UNC yesterday against Iowa St.). Great tourney from a fan of college b-ball's stand point.

I'm pulling for UW now, which unfortunatly is bad for you. Sorry. :)

Even though my bracket is gone, I've really enjoyed watching the games. They have all been competitive for most of the game, even the 1 seeds haven't blown anyone out (except for UNC yesterday against Iowa St.). Great tourney from a fan of college b-ball's stand point.

i haven't watched a whole game since KU lost the other night. yesterday during the UNC game, one of the announcers were calling the Bucknell / KU game the "biggest upset in tournament history." after that, i switched back to NASCAR.

Louisville should definitely beat Wash. I dont think they have any problem of doing that.

[trippingbilly12]

I'm pulling for Louisville. I picked them over UW, and this could be the only good thing I have done in my bracket yet

Atleast stick it on entertaining racing like world rally or something. :D

Well I picked NC State correctly and all the rest except Wake. But I also picked Louisville like you did so hopefully Louisville can pull it out.

after that KU game friday night, i'd rather watch ESPN spelling bee re-runs than listen to commentary on Bucknell during a UNC / Iowa St. game.

I've been having trouble watching games since the loss. With a destroyed bracket and ku loss, the only thing I care about anymore is hopefully seeing a duke-unc game

Not a bigger upset than Hampton over Iowa St. a few years ago, just my opinion. I talked to a couple of Ok State guys that were at the game and they said they were stunned, all the Ok State people were. He said that the OSU contengent wanted to cheer for Kansas and after the game everybody was just standing there speachless.

it was definitly bigger the iowa st-hampton. yes the seeds were worse, but iowa st was a bunch of under achievers that had a miracle season.

This is Kansas basketball we are talking about. We do not lose in the first round to a 14 seed

[seekupig]

hopefully seeing a duke-unc game

that would be fun to see. nothing like living in a place that has three sweet-sixteen teams within twenty-five miles of each other.

Yeah. We went over that last night. :D

that's the problem. it has nothing to do with the seeds as much as it has to do with who it was. the only thing i can remember that's close is UNC / Weber St. and Princeton beating UCLA in the first round when they were defending national champs. none of the #15 / #2 games were that big.

[jermtheworm]

The announcer in the Duke game was throwing fuel ong the fire last night mentioning several times that the stadium was full of Carolina blue cheering for Miss St

yeah the seeds only matter to an extent with upsets.

I think Washington losing to a 16 seed isn't as bad as this Kansas loss

I feal ya

[rcarlsn612]

well i have 3 of 4 final four teams still alive
kinda concerned me that carolina didn't have a close game vs isu
hope they will be able to react to close games next weekend b/c nova will def. bring their A game

that's not suprising at all.

[jermtheworm]

So are we getting closer to a 1 seed going down in tournaments to come?

[trippingbilly12]

I had Cuse and Wake in the Final four, still have Ok. St. and UNC alive, but does't really matter

[trippingbilly12]

I think so, these games are becoming so competitve I can see it happening soon.

All it takes is the committee giving a team a #1 seed that isn't totally worthy, and a 16 seed that has the game of their lives

[seekupig]

i had Kansas, Syracuse, and Georgia Tech. after the first session of games friday afternoon, i was 23-1 in my ESPN bracket. it went in the shitter very fast after that.

I agree, if you look at the games this year the 1's didn't really pull it out until late.
