OT: March Madness

[SEA_Pat]

Kansas' speed is killing Purdue. Very pleased with how this is going.

 

[fightingirish595]

And you can put a fork in Purdue. I'll be stunned if they come back

 

[fightingirish595]

If Arizona loses this game, Sean Miller may never make a final 4

 

[SEA_Pat]

It's a slaughter. #BIFM

Neither can ROy Williams. Tom Izzo does not impress me much either. Same with Dean Smith. Coach Cal? please.I like Pitino, COach K is great. Calhoun was great. Jury is still out on Sean Miller

Coach K is great but the other guys you mentioned are not?
Nobody gets up-seeded like Duke and nobody gets upset as often, either.
Duke's talent is equal to Kentucky.

2007: first round loss to #11 seed VCU
2008: as a #2 seed, beats #15 by 1 point only to get upset 2 days letter by #7 WVU
2012: first round loss to #15 Lehigh
2014: first rounds loss to #14 Mercer

All these losses were with Duke as the significantly higher seed and a ridiculous talent advantage. This year's Duke team was loaded. They may have 5 guys go in the first round of the NBA draft but not one of them survived the first weekend of the tournament.

Calipari has 1 national championship. Coach k has 5. There is no comparison. Coach calipari is a great recruiter, not a great coach

Sean miller has lost games every way possible.

 

[Kontradiction]

Magic number for Purdue is 11. I think if they can keep there turnovers at 11 or less they win. If they are under 10 I think they'll win comfortably

I think Florida wins that game

So... I should bet the house on Wisconsin?

Very funny, there's just one problem. They didn't meet the required number. 16 turnovers. I Said 11 or less

I was joking with you. That said, nobody is stopping Kansas. IMO this is their year. They've scored 288 points in 3 games. I don't remember the last time a team was this hot in the tournament.

lol I know. You may very well be right. I would've picked Oregon to make the final 4 if Boucher hadn't been hurt. My gut feeling is Kansas will win that game

 

[Thelonious]

The best thing about the NCAA basketball tournament is that with so many of the teams eliminated early on in the tournament, the players get to practice an all-important NBA skill: resting.

He's sketchy.

 

[fightingirish595]

ball is wet from 3.ucla will win because kentucky cant out athleticize them. at least i dont think so

 

[Kontradiction]

Florida is not cleaning up on the offensive glass the way they have throughout the tournament and aren't closing out on 3's. We had better start or this will be a slaughter.

If that game is still close in the end, Kentucky will pull away. Gators are getting their **** pushed in.

 

[varjao]

Ucla cant get a 2 point lead

UCLA looks like the better team despite being down a possession in my opinion, I expect if anyone pulls away, it will be them

 

[Kontradiction]

Wisconsin is hitting shots with their eyes closed and Hill couldn't hang onto the ball if it was superglued to him.

 

[Kontradiction]

That length is finally starting to show up. Gators are pressing those passing lanes and Wisconsin is having trouble with the size and athleticism. That's three turnovers in the last couple of minutes. Hopefully they'll continue to settle in and cut into that lead.
