Sorry man, I know that was below the belt! Anyway, you guys have had the last laugh against us I think. Can't remember what year it was-when you guys beat us to go to final four, I think.
That is awesome about Wis-Milwaukee. Sweet 16 for them.

Congrats Kathryn!
How is everyone's bracket now that the dust has settled a little? I've still got the following teams still alive in the Sweet 16: Illionois, OK State, Washington, Louisville, Texas Tech, UNC, Duke, and Kentucky.
Hey, check out ESPN tonight, 8 p.m. CST, My mighty Commodores host the Shockers of Witchita State in the NIT. I'm on my way down to Memorial Gym right now, where we have a 23 game win streak against NonConference opponents (most of which are cupcakes that are scheduled in the beginning of the season, but still, it's a win streak and we're still playing in the postseason).
Wish us Luck tonight and on the road to Madison Square Garden!!!

My bracket doesn't matter now that I had the joy of seeing
UVM get its ass whupped last night. I was a mere mile from the
campus. You shoudda seen all the downtown bars
empty after the game. Payback = a bitch.
Best of luck at MSG!

I'm in 3rd place at work out of about 40, but I'm officially out of it because both my championship game teams are out, so I cannot win anymore. I've got Illinois, Arizona, OK State, Washington, Kentucky, Mich State, Duke, NC State, Villanova, UNC left.
Go Commodores (sorry Daisy Girl!)

| My bracket is poor but I'm winning my office pool at the moment. In the Final 4 I have Illinois, UNC, Syracuse (oh well), and Louisville (with Illinois beating UNC). For the elite 8 I've lost Gonzaga, UConn, and Syracuse. |

Wow!!! What a frigin' Game. My mighty Commodores almost let it get away from them, but with 0.7 seconds remaining (that's right, 7/10's of a second) Senior Jason Holwerda threw the inbounds pass the length of the court to a wide-open Corey Smith(Corey had set a screen for Moe, a/k/a Super Mario Moore, and while both defenders covered Moe (9 three-pointers, 31 pts for the game) Corey Smith was left unguarded, under Vandy's basket, and made the easy layup as time expired. An exciting example of two Seniors getting the job done, and a litte bit of the ol' Memorial Magic.
There is one rather large speed bump on our road to Madison Square Garden, John Calipari's Memphis Tigers. We travel to Memphis Wednesday for a 9:00 p.m. tipoff. Coach Calipari may be a very good coach, the Tigers may be a very good team, and they may have Elvis on their side, but we've got Moe and 10 other kids that don't know how to give up and quit, even when there is only 0.7 seconds left in the game.
[Thanks for the expression of support for the Commodores, Superabounder. I'm a little distracted with Vandy right now, but after Wednesday I'll have a few days to exchange some serious Smack-Trash Talkin' with ya!!!, you know, the BIG BLUE vs. little blue devils game coming up, that is if coach kay can make it to the Elite Eight] |

Man, that must have been some Vandy game. Yeah, I'd like another UK/Duke matchup. I'm now hoping that anyone will please beat UNC to prevent them from winning a championship and holding it over all the Duke fans(man I'm lame!). Villanova's best player tore his ACL on Sunday, so they will have less firepower, but I'm still holding out hope. UK better be ready for Utah-they looked tough against Oklahoma. Friday night baby!! Can't wait!

Another great day of College Basketball!!! Louisville and Illinois both win in overtime.
My Commodores lost Wednesday night to Memphis in the NIT, but, we played the best we could that night, and Memphis was the better team, that night. We had a good year and should have a better one next year.
Sorry about Duke, Superabounder, I was looking forward to the rematch of KY and Duke on Sunday. So, who you with now? Big Blue? Good!!! Big Blue over carolina blue anyday, huh!
I am now down to Illinois, Louisville, UNC and KY. Of course, I have KY beating Illinois in the championship. But, wouldn't it be great if we had a Louisville vs. Kentucky championship game, can you imagine, Pitino vs Tubby, Kentucky fans vs Louisville fans!
Go Big Blue!!! |

Thanks man...yeah I was pretty disappointed Friday. I definitely will be pulling for KY if they play Carolina. How about those 2 games on Saturday. Didn't get to see all of them, but what comebacks! An all Kentucky final would truly be amazing. Kind of like a basketball civil war!

Damn, that's some pretty tough luck on your brackets.
Yeah, that Louisville vs West VA, and the Illinois vs AZ games were crazy, both going to overtime.
Go Big Blue!!! |

So, needless to say, if you were waiting around with five bucks in your hand waiting to buy my upcoming brochure Understanding Poop, you can put that five bucks away, 'cause it ain't happenin.

Hey, just in case you're not watching the NCAA Championship game, it's a good 'un. The Fightin' Illini down by 13 in the 2nd half, now with 3.50 to go, the Tar Heels cling to a 3 point lead....

I'm an ACC man, but there was no joy to be had by this fan as the dreaded 'heels won it. Oh well, the one team I wanted to lose out of all 65. Still, very good tournament. I feel bad for the Illini fans and team. Bittersweet year to not win it all.

There's nothing I hate more in basketball than a team ending a fast break with a 3-point attempt. I really wish the NCAA would move that fucking line out a couple feet.
I'm glad Illinois lost. |

| At least they missed that 3 point attempt (if were thinking of the same one). |

| We're probably thinking of the same shot, but I'm also talking about Illinois style of play in general. I love to watch the great passing but it just bugs me that there's no inside game. I know Augustine was in foul trouble but their team is built around the 3 point game, isn't it? Even if you can't go into the low post, at least drive the basket every few times down the floor-- especially on a fast break for crying out loud! |
