Also, I'm considering making the next game thread since the last one went so well in the trash bin.

Great moments from the game:

1. Zo saying "They can't fucking stop me" walking to the bench after making that retarded baseline floater

2. CJW's dad thanking the heavens after the buzzer

This is unbelievable

We're coming for your Carolina

Holy fuck

We are unstoppable

3/18/2012 2:51:59 PM

Didn't we have a chance to meet Carolina in the Elite 8 last time before losing to Wisconsin?

This was great. CJW earned respect today. Great to see him back in this.

3/18/2012 2:53:23 PM

Yes

Shut up

well, I think this is a better team than our last Sweet 16 team. Although, I do wonder what Ilian Evtimov is doing tonight. Perhaps some flip-sex

YES YES YES

this thread was going to be about mark gottfried until he did that. he earned this.

3/18/2012 3:00:25 PM

Posting here because the game thread is moving way too fast - anyone know when the team is getting back tonight?

I almost want Kansas to win so we can have a nice paced game to warm up for Carolina.

3/18/2012 3:05:51 PM

^holy shit yes. i know

If we play Kansas, then we'll have to beat a 3, 2, and 1 to get to the Final Four. Would make it a much sweeter journey.

i want to finish against syracuse and kentucky after unc


Take down all #1s (sorry mizzou)

3/18/2012 3:17:07 PM

I think Wisconsin will go to the Final Four before Syracuse makes it there.

Zo's explanation for that shot is amazing. "I just tossed it up there, hoping to get a foul called, cause I couldn't get a good look. I didn't get the whistle, but it went in!"

3/18/2012 6:23:15 PM

seriously, everyone has to admit that your response to that shot was this:

3/18/2012 10:16:35 PM

what? i thought it was going in all the way. he has set that precedent.

3/18/2012 10:31:56 PM

Ryan Harrow was (is?) the king of bullshit floaters

Even he couldn't have hit that one, though

3/18/2012 10:52:06 PM

dude i don't even look at where the shot is. if brown shoots it inside the arc, i assume it's a good shot and that he can make it. i trust him so much... and love him so much.

Not sure why everyone is already writing off Ohio...

i'll always remember that shot at the "Big Brown Deuce", thanks to Tim Brando

" No. 11 North Carolina State: Lorenzo Brown, guard -- C.J. Leslie has blossomed into this team's most impressive player, but its point guard deserves as much if not more credit for the unlikely late-season Sweet 16 run this Wolfpack team has somehow managed to piece together. On a team with no tournament experience and plenty of young players, Brown's calming influence on the ball is a major asset. "

surprised they didn't go with Leslie there, figured this was the right thread for it

3/21/2012 2:15:02 PM

surprised as well

3/21/2012 2:17:00 PM

Really? Brown has the biggest drop-off in the next guy that can perform his job (Alex Johnson). Leslie is obviously second...but Howell can put up points inside if Leslie isn't and Brown can penetrate and draw fouls if CJL isn't.

Brown would be our biggest hole to fill out of anyone else on the team.

3/21/2012 2:33:59 PM

Don't you mean black? Considering his color and all...

3/21/2012 10:35:46 PM

Rodney Monroe hit a shot in the 1989 NCAA Tourney game against Georgetown, yes, that game with that infamous call, that we just got some sweet ass revenge for, that reminded me of Zo's floater.
