darin3 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I am a college hoops NUT, and this has to be the BEST... CRAZIEST.... most UNREAL tournament in my memory. UNfrickinBELIEVABLE. UConn blows a halftime lead to Cinderella George Mason and then they tie it up with an incredible buzzer beater reverse layup.... unreal... I have UConn winning in a few pools, so this is huge. But even if I didn't... WOW... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Skinn misses that free throw I'm rooting for GM all the way at this point. Maybe no number ones make the final four if it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) Wow, GM is strong inside. If they can do this to UConn, they will certainly be able to do it to either Florida or Nova. Edit: If they hold their lead, that is. Edited March 26, 2006 by darin3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I'm rooting for GM all the way at this point. Maybe no number ones make the final four if it happens. 1388842[/snapback] I went with the strategy of no #1s making it in the lone pool I'm in - mainly because all the experts came out and said "this could be the year all the #1s make it!"

theeohiostate Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Earlier on the board there was a thread about a "Giant" killer in the tourney and it seems GM fits that to a tee! N.C./Mich St. and now look how they're playing UCONN. A big props to GM hanging in there. Hope they pull it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) 7.1 seconds left, up by 2, and the ball. Eerily similar to the end of regulation. Now hit the free throws Edited March 26, 2006 by Puddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavez Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Apparently GM is pretty good. Don't really remember these low of a seed getting this far. 1388878[/snapback] IIRC, the last was maybe 'Nova when they beat Georgetown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 Apparently GM is pretty good. Don't really remember these low of a seed getting this far. 1388878[/snapback] This actually ties the record. LSU went to the Final Four as an 11 seed in 1986.

montster Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 that was amazing. when that uconn guy stepped back behind the line to shoot the 3 at the end, i thought for sure it was going in. this might be the best tourney i've ever seen.

HowboutthemCowboys Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Crap. 1388872[/snapback] I agree.UCLA wins one more game and Uconn wins it all and I win my $ pool.Oh well,still the best bracket I've ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorta bummed I missed a good chunk of them last Friday. This Florida/Villanova game is gonna be a barnburner, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
