NCAA Tournament Playalong Thread

Michigan State really nutted up tonight. I love losing money on basketball.


Football starts in 5 months!!!

The team that was a strong and deserving favorite won like they were supposed to. Too much athleticsm and talent across the board. For all the talk about the Big East this year, it's funny that the best team came from the ACC yet again. Duke has a title, UNC has two, and Maryland has one in this decade.

While the big East was so much better than the other conferences, its been known all year how good UNC was... pretty much the only real good team in the ACC. this was no surprise.

for all the big east fans that thought lousiville was a legit #1 team - UNC scored more points in a half a game than Louisville scored in the entire game against MSU

now if that don't convince you that they were a fraud i don't know what will , i picked wake in that region and was wrong , but , lousiville could have been the most overated #1 team ever in the tournament

oh shut up

[gales0678]

no in all seriousness , louisville was a good scrappy team that played great defense and could only score via fast break and to's

they couldn't score in a 1/2 court game , i think coach pitino should get coach of the year for getting this team to be a #1 seed with this glaring inability

You mean Washington wasn't it in 2005? I guess Wake Forest was placed in the right brackett.

again crown who did louisville beat in the tourney ???

they faced 1 top 10 team and got totally exposed as a fraud that couldn't score

i say it was a great job by coach and he should be coach of the year for what he was able to get this team to do in the regular season

i had the right thinking , but picked the wrong team , when you see a bad favorite aren't you supposed to pick against them?

How do you go from complaining about your Wake Forest in the same brackett as Louisville and then say that Louisville was the weakest of the #1's for not only this year but in a long time?

Definitely.
People sort of shoved them under the rug
after they lost in the ACC tourney.

Mich ST. did a hell of a job just getting to the
final. Izzo did a great job with this bunch.

Postscript:

This was one of the least exciting tournaments I have
witnessed. The number of close games in the later rounds
was just not there (my vote for best game Vill v. Pitt which
actually lived up to expectations).

Still a great event.
