Pitt/Wichita St. has been just a disgusting game to watch.

most of them are

no, no one

i had pitt and marquette in the sweet 16. lol?

i haven't really watched anything aside from a small handful of nd games. so i knew it could be a disaster.

wow marquette

pulling 3's out of their asses! craziness.

Pitt was terrible, why'd you do that? Dixon also sucks as a coach in important games.

I'm stoked for Creighton's win over Duke coming up.

yeah that was dumb. minimal research would have told me not to do that.

I have NM in the final 4. Oops!

wooooo harvard! didn't pick it, but good to see it.

so shabazz muhammad is actually a year older than he says

...i'm not reading that whole article. why should i care about his age?

i'm not really sure if you should

also i can't believe I pay for cable but don't get TNT, TBS, or whatever the other network besides CBS is. have to go to the bar to watch illinois

i was kind of surprised to see kenny the jet and chuckles on the panel...i don't really believe they actually pay that much attention to college basketball but whatever

greg anthony is the shit

the panel should be barkley + john madden

Haha, Georgetown.

did they lose to utsa florida gulf coast

I didn't know the South had so many schools

ND deserves to lose because those hideous uniforms.

careful people take that shit rl srs round here

appropriate way for the big east to go out. being horrendously overrated and sucking shit everywhere.

louisville doesn't make it to the elite eight. marquette could very well lose in round 2.

my friends and i were discussing how we may have subconsciously bought a big east basketball bias from espn for the last decade or so. sad to think about but probably true. they all consistently underperform in the tournament.

the only teams left in my final 4 are two big ten teams. lol. i lost k state (that region is up for grabs though so i don't feel THAT dumb about it) and georgetown (that one i do feel dumb about) yesterday. ooooof.

Texas Longhorns baby! Spring break vacation!

eulogy that wasn't even a crack at you, you seriously need to grow the fuck up

izzo laying the smackdown on memphis :rockon:

Shockers on insane 3 point spree. Gonzaga going down

They were the weakest 1 seed in a while, they played no one this year.

i picked gonazaga to win it all. oops.

eulogy that wasn't even a crack at you, you seriously need to grow the fuck up

i don't talk to you anymore. have you really not noticed?

Edit: did probably misinterpret that post though! w/e. post about rep.

Man I'd hate to go to jail. I hate basketball.

Florida Gulf Coast about to be 1st 15 seed in sweet 16

And they get a very beatable Florida team to boot

Lol

KU lost

lol kansas

the loss was probably a real punch to the balls for you guys

i was almost kinda sorta rooting for fucking MICHIGAN

bill self is really easy to hate

my entire final four is gone now. lol whoops.

GO SPURS

apparently marquette was surprised by syracuse's 2-3 zone. the defense they've employed for a billion years and that they've seen every year.

?????

they got something going finally though. 3 point game.

when run right, as jim boeheim does, the 2-3 is weird and uncomfortable because it's not popular, much like the goth kid in the trenchcoat

also it's primarily a trapping defense to create turnovers

And beat in February.

That zone works now so well since scorers/shooters are few and far between.

yeah, i'm surprised more teams don't do it. what's the drawback? seems kind of juvenile? bad prep for the nba? if i were a coach i'd use it.

the zone in general is bad prep for the nba so it doesn't matter that much in that regard

nba can play zone, but there's the defensive 3 second violation which i believe doesn't exist in college basketball. in other words, in the college game, you can camp your big man out in the paint on defense and he doesn't have to move. in the nba, he can't be there for longer than three seconds or it's a foul.

you can run zone in the nba but it doesn't happen all that much, it's almost entirely man. for a while the nba didn't even allow zone, but they decided that it was okay probably about 10 years ago but it was discovered that nba players are so good that the zone is not at all appropriate for a full 48 mins. some teams like the celtics will occasionally rotate into a zone, but it's not like college hoops where it's basically the be all and end all of defense.

i think maybe the syracuse zone is a little harder to run correctly, and requires a specific set of athletic perimeter players.

also it does sacrifice paint presence for perimeter defense and turnovers from trapping

I'm a man-to-man press guy, I find the zone very boring. But it can work.

This game suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

it's boring but effective.

too bad syracuse doesn't have dion waiters that would be off the chain

the loss was probably a real punch to the balls for you guys

not me but my kansan friends, yes. they take it hard because they actually stand a chance; whereas, MU....

go shockers go

THE X MAN DEMANDS VICTORY

McDaniel began to shave both his head and his eyebrows to look more intimidating. He continued this all throughout his pro career.

hahahaha oh god what a baller

now <i>this</I> is a ball game

wasn't zone pretty much allowed because nobody could guard shaq by themselves

yes

i'd like to know why everyone was talking about the basketball atrocity that was syracuse v. marquette and then i seem to be the only one who watched wichita state upset ohio state?

is it just because eulogy refuses to talk to me directly anymore, that's fine

I don't think it was a massive upset, the Shockers are playing great basketball and Craft is insanely overhyped.,

This and, you know, it was a Saturday night. I'm making an exception this morning for some reason. But please please leave me the fuck alone. After all your tantrum throwing "I'm not reading your posts anymore!" bullshit, this is really annoying. Leave me alone.

:cry:

oh my god

i hate that i saw that happen

i can't even

>_<

his leg just snapped in half :(

i did not see that

but i came here to ask why is michigan a 4 seed with 2 probable nba lottery picks

Seeing a bone out in the open is horrific. Best wishes to him.

Michigan played like shit down the stretch, that's why.

They were inconsistent during the regular season, especially near the end of the season. Losing to the likes of Penn State.

apparently big dog 3 is not on draft boards anymore is he returning or did his stock fall

oh god i just saw that dudes leg bone quite by accident my eyes my eyes the goggles do nothing
