memphish · March 24, 2006

Please pull this out LSU, I want to taste Dicky V's tears tonight.

You hear that? Thats the sound of countless brackets breaking apart.

the_rock401 · March 24, 2006

And it's all over but the paperwork. Duke is OUT!

memphish · March 24, 2006

80 to 64 Memphis smokes Bradley.

stingrock23 · March 24, 2006

I knew the Tigers would pull it out, despite the refs trying to give the game to Duke. Davis only played 8 minutes in the first half because of ticky-tack fouls, but it didn't matter. Tyrus Thomas is a freak.

LSU's gonna shock the world and win it all.

PICK: Boston College (For the record I wanted to see BC lose tonight.. seems just about everyone around here has been on their jock telling me OMG ALL THE WAY when they don't know a damn thing about them. Tood-a-loo BC. Still a great game, can't beat OT.)

Maybe if I pick them they'll finally lose..

PICK: Memphis

momo1tx · March 25, 2006

Yeah, Mason does it again. I'll admit, this has been incredible, and has far exceeded my expectations. To get this far is the pinnacle for a mid-major, but now that they are this far, why not shoot for the final four? And to think this was the team that it took overtime for them to beat 6-20 George State in the conference tourney, and lost to Hofstra twice in a week!

JamminJ · March 26, 2006

2 Texas 60

momo1tx · March 26, 2006

HOW 'BOUT MASON!!! That was the most incredible thing ever!!! Even I'm stunned, that was amazing! Now we've got Florida against Villanova, I'm rooting for Florida so no one has bracket that makes sense, and so Mason plays a (hopefully) weaker team.

stingrock23 · March 26, 2006

This has easily been the best tournament ever, at least that I've seen. My LSU tigers pulled it out, and there's no stopping us now.

LSU vs. Mason in the finals, with LSU coming out on top!

I'm liking the way LSU is playing right now. I'm pulling for them to beat UCLA. I root against Ben Howland's teams because I don't like the way he exited Pittsburgh. I think the Howland system will be tough to beat if his players execute well but LSU will have a few big time answers for UCLA.

How about Mason? It's the most incredible thing I've ever seen in the NCAA tournament as far as a team coming out of nowhere. But the kicker is they are no fluke. The earned and deserved the victory against UConn. I figured UConn would make another lucky shot to win but their luck ran out. I'll look forward to watching Mason play Florida.

I thought I'd be rooting for the Big East teams more but I became fed up with them. I knew UConn wasn't going to win it all before the tourney started. They have the best talent but they don't always show up to play as a team. Villanova lacked the big men they needed and the shots didn't fall for them today. They just seemed like a team that expected to be handed a Final Four invitation because of the great recruiting class they had four years ago. It doesn't work that way.

4-4 in the Sweet Sixteen

11-5 in the Second Round

26-6 in the First Round

0-1 in Opening Round

42-19 Overall

What a crazy insane 2 days. I don't even know what to say. I'm hoping Florida can win it all, but all 4 teams are really deserving and if anyone says different they're freaking idiots.

JamminJ · March 29, 2006

Looks like we have Michigan and South Carolina in the NIT Final Thursday.

And Duke, UNC, Maryland, and LSU in the Women's Final Four.

Discuss.

I will refrain from making 'picks' here but I would like to see South Carolina win the NIT and a Duke-UNC matchup in the womens final with UNC winning.

whip · March 30, 2006

GO BRUINS!

I believe the Bruins will take it all. They run a fast paced game, tire out"big baby" Davis, and UCLA is in the BIG game. Who do you think is going to win it all.

Erik Johnson · April 2, 2006

Time for us people that live in Gainesville to say:

GO GATORS!

Should be a good game against UCLA.

SharkTums · April 2, 2006

I feel like I'm stuck in the middle! I've got all the stupid UCLA people here, but obviously my loyalties belong to the Gators!

Erik Johnson · April 2, 2006

If you happen to still have a Gator shirt, wear it proudly!

Chris Benvenuto · April 3, 2006

UCLA I HATE YOU, GOD DAMN ALL Y'ALL SO.CAL FOLKS!!!!

BOO!!!!! (yep, I'm an LSU fan)

Just kidding, i don't mean it, UCLA played well, and LSU did too in the end, thanks for giving us a good fight.

Good Luck to the remaining 2 and whoever wins.... Congrats and happiness to you!

Erik Johnson · April 4, 2006

It's great, to be, a Florida Gator!

^^Don't lump us all in with the stupid Ruins.

High up in the hills of Westwood

Sprawled offensive to the eye

Lies a Cal extension campus

Known as Westwood High (high high high)

Home of all the Bruin bearcubs

UGLY is its name

The student body's vile

The football team's a pile

and the campus is a shame!

U (clap clap clap) G (clap clap clap) L (clap clap clap) Y (clap clap clap)

U G L Y Eat My Shorts!
