Volunteers win. It doesn't kill my bracket too much, since Tennessee will now play Ohio State

3/18/2007 1:37:44 PM

hell of a season singletary, go to the NBA

3/18/2007 1:38:02 PM

dammit virginia

total failure on preventing lofton from catching those last two inbounds, from which he proceeded to bury four free throws and your asses

gg

3/18/2007 1:39:09 PM

No one better fucking make a Florida jinx thread.

3/18/2007 1:39:19 PM

Well Singletary should be crying, his horrible shooting plagued them all game. My bracket is close to shambles right now, but most people in my pool had UVA too.

3/18/2007 1:39:57 PM

rly.

3/18/2007 1:40:44 PM

GO BOILERMAKERS

3/18/2007 1:46:20 PM

Are you guys hearing the announcers for the Florida/Purdue game. They're ridiculous. The keep making random noises and speaking in weird voices when they get excited. It's just... odd.

3/18/2007 1:51:21 PM

why isn't the unlv/wisc game on any of the channels

3/18/2007 1:55:12 PM

Yeah, who the hell is this color analyst (Boilermakers vs Gators)?

"He has the old pipe cleaner look"

3/18/2007 1:55:44 PM

raftery (i'm sure of...he's the "MANTOMAN" guy) and lundquist i believe

if you've ever watched college basketball you should have heard these guys because raftery is up there with billy packer for worst announcers.

do you not watch many basketball games during the year?

he used to get CRAZY when Evtimov would hit a three


ELIASN EFFFFFFTIMOF WIF THE JAM AND THE BREAD@!

3/18/2007 1:58:19 PM

Ive watched a lot of games, he's just acting exceptionally intoxicated today, so i guess I'm really noticing it.



[Edited on March 18, 2007 at 2:02 PM. Reason : yeah]

3/18/2007 2:02:29 PM

Raftery is the best. He is widely known as one of the biggest boozers around. They do games housed all the time. Just watch Maui next year for a hilarious time.. Bilas and Raftery drunk with McDonough trying to get them to shut up. Great..

3/18/2007 2:08:20 PM

i'd pay to hear the bills do a game together

raftery + walton ftw...it would be like a botched snl skit where everyone keeps laughing.

3/18/2007 2:10:52 PM

As long as no one starts a Wiscy jinx thread, I won't start a Florida one

[Edited on March 18, 2007 at 2:12 PM. Reason : love raftery]

VT Southern Illinois 3-2 at first TV timeout

On pace for a 30-20 final

3/18/2007 2:15:36 PM

no need for a wiscy jinx thread, they are getting whooped

3/18/2007 2:19:07 PM

They just talked about us PWNTing VT.

[Edited on March 18, 2007 at 2:30 PM. Reason : 3 times]

3/18/2007 2:30:18 PM

announcers talking about talking to va tech

-you guys beat duke and carolina and had a great season

--dowdell: "yeah, but nc state kept humbling us. they beat us three times."

3/18/2007 2:31:05 PM

oregon sure makes a lot of foolish decisions in terms of shot selection and whatnot for being such a good team

3/18/2007 2:31:43 PM

I WANT TO WATCH THE OTHER FUCKING GAMES...


but i lost my dvr remote

3/18/2007 2:34:17 PM

SO ILL

3/18/2007 3:36:54 PM

free throws free throws. make your damn fts down the stretch

3/18/2007 3:39:14 PM

FUCK WISCONSIN, WHAT A SHITTY TEAM

3/18/2007 3:40:50 PM

they looked so good throughout the season, but straight up shitty agains osu in the big 10 champ and the last 2 games

3/18/2007 3:42:04 PM

VT is awful. 32 points with 10 to go

3/18/2007 3:45:53 PM

wow have i acquired a hatred for Virginia Tech...they just continue to find different ways to fuck me, over and over

3/18/2007 3:45:56 PM

haha. The ACC had the most teams in the tourney and Carolina is the only one to make it past the second round.

3/18/2007 3:48:18 PM

so i put too many upsets in the first round and very few after the first round

and now my national champion is out of my main bracket


yet i did really really good in the 2nd round, other than the wisconsin pick, only missed maryland

[Edited on March 18, 2007 at 4:26 PM. Reason : im fucked if texas loses]

3/18/2007 4:23:58 PM

3/18/2007 4:25:29 PM

yeah, texas can fuck up a lot of brackets by losing.

3/18/2007 4:30:58 PM

Good. SC is a much worse matchup for UNC should they win. UNC would handle Texas with ease IMO... not so w/ a great defensive team like SC.

3/18/2007 4:50:16 PM

I agree..I actually had Michigan St beating UNC , but I thought they had a better shot than the uber-popular pick of Texas over UNC. Not saying USC will beat them, but you're right, they do match up better than Texas does

Yeah. Was looking at TWW bracket pool on espn.com. The guy leading, sherae, is in the 99.9 percentile for the nation. I look at his bracket and he has Texas in the Final 4.

Anyway, did anyone else pick the Trojans?

^ Had Michigan State beating UNC as well, but had Southern Cal in the Elite 8 cause I thought they would beat the Texas Durants and then Michigan State.

espn scoring puts a lot of emphasis on the later rounds, too

"Round 1 - 10 points per pick Round 2 - 20 points per pick Round 3 - 40 points per pick Round 4 - 80 points per pick Round 5 - 120 points per pick Round 6 - 160 points per pick"

3/18/2007 6:19:35 PM

rough. if so illinois beats kansas i should be alright for the rest of the games though. i picked well yesterday.

[Edited on March 18, 2007 at 6:20 PM. Reason : will need USC to beat UNC so hardly anyone gets those points as well.]

3/18/2007 6:20:22 PM

GO Butler, UNLV, Southern Ill, Pitt, USC, Vandy, Tenn, and Texas A&M. That would seriously kill everyone's brackets.

3/18/2007 6:24:13 PM

i hope they switch over soon, i wanna watch durant lose

3/18/2007 6:24:47 PM

pitt ill take. i just dont trust ucla to hold out any longer. kansas i may have underestimated.

3/18/2007 6:25:10 PM

There's still around 2:30 left in the USC-Texas game so you should be able to watch the end.

3/18/2007 6:25:46 PM

RICK BARNES IS TERRIBLE

Believe it or not, more people chose Texas A&M to make the elite 8 than Memphis.

We should have gotten Tim Floyd when we had the chance

3/18/2007 6:35:29 PM

yeah, I think memphis' road ends at the sweet 16. The guy in the lead on ESPN has memphis winning it all.
