I have Wisconsin going to the finals in my bracket. lol. Pitt loss really opens that up

Big Breeze · Post by **Big Breeze** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 3:17 am

Swinging for the fences tomorrow. It's now or never in all of my brackets.

My difference making picks...U-Dub over UNC, Zona beating UT.

Pac-10 supremecy. Let's get it.

I'm exhausted from watching that game. Heels moving on.

Duke/Michigan is more entertaining than I thought it would be

Kid That's Lifeless · Post by **Kid That's Lifeless** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 5:11 pm

I'm going to hate myself for saying this, but Nolan Smith should win the Wooden Award. They usually get this award right and giving it to Jimmer would be wrong.

wheels · Post by **wheels** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 5:20 pm

Nolan Smith was unreal today. There was a stretch where he scored every time down the court. Michigan played their best basketball of the year today, imo

Kid That's Lifeless · Post by **Kid That's Lifeless** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 6:03 pm

This is how a #1 seed is supposed to play in the 2nd round. Please take notes Pitt.

Texas looks like shit so far

tied!

i cant handle this. haha

fuck :(

I wasn't counting or anything, but that 5 second call seemed right. Nobody was working back to the ball.

Failure to inbound cost texas the game. I wasn't really that impressed with Arizona, but congrats if there are any fans here.

Only person in my $5 pool that picked Arizona over Texas (albeit, a small sample size). Everyone else? Visibly umad.

Kid That's Lifeless · Post by **Kid That's Lifeless** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 8:45 pm

Texas played awful in the first half and J'Covan Brown got a couple foul shots gifted to him. They should've lost by ten. I had them in the final four.

99% certain VCU is playing so well just to stick it to Jay Bilas.

my bracket is bout to be busted

Big Breeze · Post by **Big Breeze** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 9:43 pm

I knew that if Arizona were to face Texas that they would match up with them well. They didn't play that well in the 2nd half and still won. I got them advancing all the way to the Final Four out the West bracket. Puke will probably end their hopes next week, but I didn't want to take Coach Ksfhsldjsky's team regardless if Irving was playing or not.

U-Dub? Almost man, almost.

Picked Syracuse, but glad Marquette won.

BigCat8 · Post by **BigCat8** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 9:56 pm

Marquette winning neutralizes my pick of Xavier over Syracuse ( :fail:

). Only two in my pool still have both finalists remaining. I am not one of those two, but I'm still sitting in first for now.

wheels · Post by **wheels** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 10:42 pm

Marquette was less of an upset than it would appear, in my opinion. I've watched them play more times than anybody but Kentucky, and I thought they were generally underrated all year.

Toughest schedule in the big east. No losses to unranked teams, most of their losses were 2-3 points. Prone to late game collapse but have lots of talent. Smaller than most in front but they've got some great shooters.

I hope they win exactly 1 more game.

FSU is getting ready to run away with this

Kid That's Lifeless · Sun Mar 20, 2011 11:45 pm

This game is proof that nobody should pick a team that lives and dies by the 3 to make a deep run.

BigCat8 · Post by **BigCat8** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 11:54 pm

Still sitting in first in my pool, but when ND goes final, I'll have lost both South teams from the Final Four. Someone still has all four intact, so I'll be slipping out of first fairly quickly, I think.

Nl5H · Post by **Nl5H** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 12:33 am

i've got either half or 3/4 of my final four left. pitt and nd screwed me. i had nd going to the finals in 2 brackets. what the fuck was i thinking...

oh well i have duke winning the title. they had their typical lapse vs. michigan and michigan was knocking the shots down...was a close one.

darius morris can pass like a muthafucka...he has some vision. tim hardaway jr might end up being something as well.

i cannot wait till uk beats the snot out of ohio state.

and thank goodness the whiney hansborough lost. fuck their entire family... fucking bitches.

texas you suck. time and time again, your basketball and football teams suck dick.
