Kid Cid Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Dude, if you're going to need to get up earlier if you're going to beat me to the reverse hex on your team bit. Heh, that wasn't a reverse hex. I was so amped up over this game I couldn't sit still. It seems that I had every right to be worried. Mizzou put up a hell of a battle. Unbelieveable ending to the Pitt-Nova game. That's the second drive right to the hoop game winner this tournament (Zags-WKU). Doesn't anyone know how to stop the ball coming up the court? I'm looking forward to more exciting games today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I went 0 for Saturday. Now I need two for two on Sunday. Picking Michigan St in one bracket and Louisville in another helps right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't anyone know how to stop the ball coming up the court? I'm looking forward to more exciting games today. In one of the brackets I filled in for work (with about 100 brackets), I was at #5 before the Nova-Pitt game, with no-one above me having UNC winning the whole thing. The last second Nova win bumped one person way back slightly ahead of me....now we have the exact same scenarios playing out. I had a really good shot at winning about $500+ bucks....Now I have a really good shot at winning about $200+ bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't anyone know how to stop the ball coming up the court? Exactly. Pitt did not play well at all this tourney and I'm surprised they made it this far considering. I was soooo looking forward to a Pitt/UConn final for all the marbles. Should be some great games ahead though, including today's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I'm looking for a UCONN-UNC or a UCONN-OK final. Right now, to me, it feels like Lousville vs UNC. Of course, they both need to win today to make it plausible, let alone what it might feel like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't anyone know how to stop the ball coming up the court? I'm looking forward to more exciting games today. Just curious, 'cause I missed the entire first half. What happened to Mizzou's press? The parts I watched of the Memphis game (which wasn't much because I was mostly getting the Duke/Nova game) they really turned up the heat. However, in the second half the UConn game, they seemed to only use a token 3/4 soft press. Did UConn beat it too easily in the first?

Flip_Side Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Louisville down 10 with 8 minutes left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 OK, it's official. This is easily the worst bracket I've ever filled out. Just whiffed on the entire thing. Missed the few early upsets that happened, picked all the ones that didn't and am now oh for 2 on the final four. Hell, the best I could have done was go 1 for 2 anyway 'cause I had Memphis beating UW in the West so it didn't even matter in that one. At least I actually had both Pitt and Nova playing, which was the only regional final that I actually had both teams right in. Looks like you can make that 0 for 3 now. And, btw, I had Pitt cutting down the nets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godtomsatan Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I figured Louisville would crap out at some point, but I didn't think it would be so dramatic. They had an amazing season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaP'N GRuNGe Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I had UNC over UConn in the final. If i did the math right, the best I can finish is 2nd. If they both make it and UConn wins I'd get 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borge007 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I had Louisville,Memphis,Pittsburgh and North Carolina. I was leadin 42 other players. Guess where I am now! !4th-Not a chance of winning even though I picked North Carolina to win it all. As Denny Green used to say-"We'll get em next time"!!

billay Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Heels got sloppy since that last timeout. Grffith is a black hole in the middle. UNC needs to quit fouling him after the rebound. It's pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat2334 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 bad coaching by Capel so far - he has done nothing to get Griffin to get the ball in some good spots on low block or run an iso or something dude is the best player in the country - get him the ball - especially with Madsen now in foul trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billay Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Watts actually got in the game. I guess that's a result of Frasor's 3rd foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcat2334 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 The way Griffin is playing, you'd think he's never seen a double team before... werd - he needs to attack and make his move before the dt gets there- even with 2 defenders he is a man among boys and can still power to the rack, and draw a foul at worst. he is playing way too passive and soft thus far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billay Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 OK is gassed. This could get ugly. Well, UNC thought they had it won, got arrogant, and have now turned it over 3 times in a row. I think Hansbrough trying to dunk on Griffin pissed OK off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
