CaptainHook Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) WOW! What a comeback from UCLA. Batista was the goat! Stupid foul after a missed free throw, and then gets stripped and UCLA goes ahead! Then he misses their final shot. UCLA scored the final 11 points to win it. What a game.

Hugh-mongus Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Well, UCLA just destroyed my pool. I had Texas and Gonzaga in my Final Four. Talk about an extreme high to an extreme low...Texas' miraculous finish immediately followed by Gonzaga's choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-mongus Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Great games tonight anyway. I'll just have to root for local Villanova from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I'm continually broken as a Washington homer. Why oh why...Batista....throw the ball to your wide open guard....games is over! Easy win..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 After tomorrow there will be two Pac-10 teams in the elite eight. Weak conference?? I think there is a chance that Morrison is a total weirdo. Props to UCLA, they play the best D on the west coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 Why oh why...Batista....throw the ball to your wide open guard....games is over! Easy win 1385821[/snapback] Boy, you're not kidding. He's double teamed on one sideline, and his guard is WIDE OPEN on the base line about 8 feet from him, and he tries to hold the ball behind his head. Dummy. The fact that Gonzage couldn't buy a basket in the last 3 minutes hurts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Props to UCLA, they play the best D on the west coast. 1385822[/snapback] Thats the truff. Saying UCLA deserved that game is the understatement of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat2334 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 ridiculous finish- and one the Zags might not be able to get over for quite a while. They flat out blew it. Morisson crying in the game was F ing embarassing. He started to well up and shed tears BEFORE the game ended. Wacko and flat out lame- I live in Wash, am a PAC 10 guy though, so I was torn on who to root for. BUT seriously- cry all you want in the locker room- get your Van Helsing ass off the floor if your gonna cry. We all said as soon as Errol Knight fouled out- uh, oh that could hurt. Too bad, but oh well, UCLA now has a chance to shake off this game and actually PLAY the whole game against Memphis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a nightmare matchup for UW- they are fine on the perimter, but UCONN is going to destroy them down low. Could get ugly, but B Roy could just pull out a miracle.

chiefjay Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I had WV and Zaga, crushed twice within a few minutes. Brutal. My bracket was looking nice of WV could have pulled it out which they had no business being close and if Zaga doesn't choke. Morrison, what a fricken crybaby. Pull yourself up and get in the Lockerroom and cray. Brutal watching his antics but had a real nice game. I was impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 That was awful. Gonzaga had a chance to REALLY elevate their program with a Final Four (or better) showing this year (think Duke back in the 1980s when they built their current dominance from scratch). Guess not, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darin3 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I naturally had Texas and UCLA advancing in my brackets, and took them both straight up parlayed with each game's over. Hit, hit, hit and hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think so, so stop talking bad about a great player who got emotional about losing a game. It was a huge game for them, that's what the kid lives for, is to play basketball. He might not ever have a chance again to be in that position to play for a national title. It happens all the time, last year Darius Washington Jr. (guard for Memphis), missed 2 free throws out of 3 that could have sent Memphis to the tournament, he fell on the court crying. Basketball is what these kids live for, this is just my .02 cents. Edited March 25, 2006 by Flip_Side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Yeah but he hears the hype in S.California. UCLA is probably in his top few of favorite college teams. 1386526[/snapback] He is a Chargers homer but Diego and LA are different cities. I'd see him more of a SD State fan.
