March Madness NCAA basketball tourney discussion

El Diablo · #1 03-23-2007, 11:14 AM

OK, limon started a fake us out March Madness discussion about college athletics. But now we're halfway through the Sweet 16 and things are getting serious. Time for some b-ball discussion!

This year I'm ashamed to say I've been too busy to watch many of the games so far, but I'm cranking my college basketball watching into high gear now.

Last night, the Ohio State / Tennessee game was incredible. That was the first game I watched seriously in this tournament. Holy cow. Down 49-32 at the half, Ohio State comes back to win it by 1, including a sweet last-second rejection of a Tennessee player driving to the bucket.

Memphis also won by one point over Texas A&M.

March Madness, baby!!!!!!

Awesome games last night... but it was completely surreal going from the Kansas/SIU game to the OSU/Tenn game. It was like they were playing two different sports.

Unfortunately, I had correctly picked 7 out of the 8 teams playing yesterday, but managed to pick only 1 of the 4 winners. Bleh.

I am a huge A&M fan, so I was pretty pissed last night (OMG REFS SCREWED US 2.0 SECONDS WTF). That loss also messed up what was until that point a pretty nice bracket. Boo Memphis.

Ohio St./Tennessee was a great game, and so was SIU and Kansas. I was kinda pulling for the Salukis there for no particular reason, but they couldn't hang on.

I am a huge UF fan all the way for a while now.

But because of friends out west, I root for Cal and USC to some degree. I am pretty sure this will be the hardest I root for USC ever becuase I really need UNC out of the picture thanks to my Texas Final Four pick.

Go Trojans!

Allow me to say that I hate Georgetown with a passion. And also Vanderbilt for that ridiculous doubleteam that gave up the game winner...well and also the fact they inbounded the ball 3 feet from their own out of bounds line....let's make him run the entire court in 2.1 seconds!

Bleh. I hate March.

I think this year has had some really exciting games. In general I hate basketball but this year I am really into it. The game thus far have been exciting even without an underdog to root for.

I picked Fla, tOSU, UNC and UCLA in the final four. Standard fare, but I honestly ignored ranking and went on what I felt would win.
