i have Pitt winning it all, but would love to see them go down

3/20/2009 3:51:56 PM

West Virginia could be my first S16 team to go down....

Cornell knocking Mizzou out would be cool. I have Marquette beating them.

3/20/2009 3:54:04 PM

Harden only has 2 pts?

3/20/2009 4:14:06 PM

Herb coached team blows lead

shocking

3/20/2009 4:14:54 PM

either one of these teams are gonna get crushed by the Orange

3/20/2009 4:19:03 PM

what all potential headlines will there be if Arizona State loses today?

Christmas comes early for Owls

Christmas nightmare for Sun Devils

The gift that keeps on giving propels Temple to 2nd round

etc

3/20/2009 4:22:37 PM

I hope ASU wins just so I don't have to hear all the stupid headlines about "Christmas in Miami".

[Edited on March 20, 2009 at 4:23 PM. Reason : ^ haha, you stole the thought right out of my head]

3/20/2009 4:22:46 PM

wow these two teams suck

3/20/2009 4:24:05 PM

Gotta give it to Harden. He basically just said "fuck this Herb collapse, im not losing" with the last two possessions.

3/20/2009 4:26:39 PM

heres a hypothetical:

if Arizona State loses today, where will this loss rank compared to Herb's other NCAA losses?

obviously if they win today and lose to Syracuse, thats a loss to a respectable team, similar to Texas a few years back, or Connecticut with Caron Butler...but if they should lose to Temple...would that be worse than any NCAA tourney loss he ever suffered at NCSU?

once again, football conference... just win the national championship every other year or so and have the most storied program in bball ever for fun

3/20/2009 4:28:34 PM

UCLA disagrees with your "storied program" shit

3/20/2009 4:29:14 PM

they shouldnt... UNC maybe, but not UCLA, but they could claim best decade or so ever

[Edited on March 20, 2009 at 4:30 PM. Reason : d]

3/20/2009 4:29:54 PM

Herb only lost in the first round once and that was in an 8-9 game so of course this would be the "worst" loss by the numbers...

3/20/2009 4:30:31 PM

i dont see how asu can lose

Temple's 4 other guys are TERRIBLE

do you mean the current decade since they've made the Final Four the last 3 years? What seed was Kentucky in the tourney this year? Oh yeah, they're in the NIT

3/20/2009 4:36:13 PM

terrible call right there

3/20/2009 4:36:25 PM

this was a very Herb like performance, but Temple just played worse

3/20/2009 4:36:47 PM

I'm convinced that Jamie Dixon is trying to go down as the worst post-season coach of alltime.

3/20/2009 4:36:59 PM

Would be great to see Pitt go down, but that would fuck up my championship game.

3/20/2009 4:37:48 PM

sucks that this tournament has held true to form for the most part so far

all the upsets i had picked are putting a hurt on me (utah st, temple)

3/20/2009 4:38:11 PM

yeah i've got pitt losing to lousiville in the finals

at least missouri has taken control of their game

3/20/2009 4:39:26 PM

who gives a fuck if a team makes the tournament? lots of teams do that... but yes, this particular decade UCLA is better than Kentucky, but since we were talking about THE most storied program ever and for a decade it doesnt matter because neither of them are the best for this decade.

3/20/2009 4:41:05 PM

WV is in my elite 8. Wee! Still plenty of time left though.

forgive me for reminding you that UCLA has been relevant since the 60s and 70s

i figured someone who claimed to be as objective as yourself would recognize that UCLA is the greatest college basketball program, but nope, your SEC conference pride won't let you do that

Kentucky is a great program, I just happen to think UCLA is the greatest program

kinda like the Celtics, Steelers, Yankees, Michigan football, etc

[Edited on March 20, 2009 at 4:45 PM. Reason : most titles by far = greatest]

3/20/2009 4:44:06 PM

The 60's and the 70's were two separate decades btw

3/20/2009 4:47:32 PM

k

UCLA won 5 titles in each decade so which one was Jaybee referring to

fuck it, theres too much good basketball going on right now to dickwag about Kentucky and UCLA's histories

[Edited on March 20, 2009 at 4:49 PM. Reason : .]

3/20/2009 4:48:56 PM

well, 1. you cant quite compare college football to pro baseball and basketball where you have a much different playoff/championship system.


2. Simply looking at Championships isnt enough

3. Kentucky's stats speak for themselves:
winningest team in the history of college basketball, both in all-time wins and all-time winning percentage
leads the NCAA in NCAA tournament appearances
NCAA tournament wins
NCAA tournament games
ranks second to UCLA in NCAA championships with 7.

3/20/2009 4:49:49 PM

What does storied mean anyway? Its all subjective.

Most Final Four appearances:

UCLA: 20
Kentucky: 13 (UNC and Duke both have more)

sounds like something a loser would say

[Edited on March 20, 2009 at 4:52 PM. Reason : .]

honestly though I'd put Kentucky at #2 behind UCLA, but like i said earlier

This WVU game is great and all but they need to cut to the Pitt game.

3/20/2009 5:02:14 PM

watch whatever game you want

[Edited on March 20, 2009 at 5:03 PM. Reason : .]

its on 5.2

3/20/2009 5:04:00 PM

Yeah I know. Just wanna see it in HD .

Plus, it's history in the making, potentially.

^ Don't get it on DirecTV.

[Edited on March 20, 2009 at 5:04 PM. Reason : ...]

3/20/2009 5:04:00 PM

god damn please let ETSU pull this off

3/20/2009 5:04:27 PM

^^ the HD on the mmod.ncaa.com (if you have the bandwidth) is very sharp, actually.

3/20/2009 5:06:07 PM

man, refs have swallowed their whistles

3/20/2009 5:08:47 PM

Ouch. Game for Pitt.

3/20/2009 5:10:35 PM

WVU is about to fuck me

3/20/2009 5:12:43 PM

yeah...really wish I hadn't picked pitt to win it all in my bracket

3/20/2009 5:12:58 PM

Could just be Pitt was taking it easy this game. I still think they'll go deep.

3/20/2009 5:13:40 PM

maybe the scares for Pitt and Memphis will be good for them

3/20/2009 5:14:15 PM

"sounds like something a loser would say "

you have a lot more things that go into winning it that are outside of the actual teams (seeding, which bracket you happen to end up in, etc)

3/20/2009 5:14:17 PM

If only ETSU could make some free throws today.

3/20/2009 5:14:19 PM

^^blah blah blah...UT lost, the SEC sucked balls in basketball this year, get the fuck over it

3/20/2009 5:15:40 PM

another sweet 16 down for me...wvu

3/20/2009 5:16:12 PM

we were never debating that

3/20/2009 5:16:20 PM

Oh wow, didn't even realize that I picked Dayton. Ha.

3/20/2009 5:16:40 PM

that was a painful slate of games. on the wrong side of both those 6/11 matchups, and WVU was an Elite 8 team
