the two OT games? that was great to watch. I love the Tournament, but the first weekend to me is so much fun to watch. I thought CBS did a great job getting back forth in those last two games. I mean, how do you plan for that? lol
there has been three 12 over 5 upsets! I really wish I'd filled out a bracket. Not saying I'd be doing very well, as I would have had FSU in the sweet 16, lol.. but it's fun to follow
toasty looks like your midwest region took a BEATING!
and who is that guy at the top? he picked all 3 of the 12/5 upsets.. lol, that's some serious insight there
i also picked all three of the 12/5 upsets and i picked cleveland st to win too
sooo you'll just have to trust me since i didn't do a bracket online! i still can't get over FSU losing to wisconsin... big time crater. i had FSU going far.
Should I fuck you at that not until the ass, inject then tremendously hard bumschen and to the termination in the eyes yes?

dude, it was BRUTAL, lol. Oh well, que sera, sera.
Don't know the dude at the top, actually, must be a friend of a friend -- he had a great first round, though, for sure, and the way the scoring it set up, nailing those three games helped him out tremendously...
The number 2 guy also nailed those three games -- he was actually my law school roommate.
I saw one of yours.. you have 3 number 1's in the final 4? has that EVER happened?
not only that, 3 from the same conference
good luck to ya
Ahem, just wanted to point out that all the number 1's are still alive.
OH, and all of the numbers 2's, too.
Yeah, the number 3's are all still there as well.
and 5 of 7 Big East teams are still around.
Just sayin', is all...
Of course, the bracket of mine where all 4 1's make the Final Four is already mathematically eliminated, so I'm not sure it much matters...
I'm brimming after that game last night! I knew it would be an exciting game, but I had no idea I'd see almost 200 points scored. To have Mizzou come out on top, though, takes it from being a good game to something I'll remember for a long, long time. Teams were averaging 57 points a game against Memphis' D, and Mizzou hung a hundy on 'em. That still blows me away.
I honestly can't believe it. Being a Mizzou fan means growing accustomed to losing big games in unusual, soul-crushing ways. Remember Tyus Edney's full-count run in 5 seconds back in 1995? That was against Mizzou. The football game where then #1 and eventual National Champion Colorado won the game on 5th down? That was against Mizzou. Oh, and let's not forget when then #1 Nebraska came back on a shoestring catch aided by a ball that was kept alive by a prayer of a kick in the endzone? Guess who the oppoent was. The list goes on and on.
Suffice it to say that when Memphis started making their run, I was very prepared for them to make some sort of miracle finish and win at the buzzer. Mizzou was able to hold them off, though.
UConn is playing great ball right now, but if we play the way we played against Memphis in the first half, I feel like we can play with them -- and if you hang with a team long enough, anything can happen...
i just hope your offense doesn't change dramatically because of thabeet. every offense uconn has gone up against has changed their format because of that guy and the way mizzou was driving on memphis will be a lot harder to do against uconn.
best of luck to you my good man. i would love to see some big 12 revenge after uconn killed A&M!
Should I fuck you at that not until the ass, inject then tremendously hard bumschen and to the termination in the eyes yes?
too bad toasty.... i was hoping your squad would pull out an upset.
ps - really shocked at michigan st!
Yeah, I was bummed, but I'm trying to keep it in perspective. We were picked to finish 7th in the Big XII this year, and now I wouldn't be surprised to see us show up in the top 10 in the nation in the final post-season rankings. Also, I don't know if you recall the whole clusterfuck that was the Mizzou basketball program at the end of Quinn Snyder's tenure, but it seemed like every day there was a new story leading off Sportscenter with some stranger-than-fiction tale about Ricky Clemons strangling someone or swapping racial epithets with the University Chancellor's wife. Also, there were rumors around Columbia that there were a lot of interpersonal issues on the team because the head coach was sleeping with the players' girlfriends. Yes, that is supposed to be plural. It was just embarassing. To go from that point -- where we were on probation -- to making it to the Elite 8 in three years is more than Tiger fans could have reasonably asked for, IMO.
One other thing about Mizzou's performance in the tourney makes me feel good about the program going forward -- that Memphis game. Not only did they lay over a hundred points on a team with one of the best defenses in the NCAA, but the game was just a blast to watch. I remember one of the announcers at the half saying something like, "Wow, I had no idea Missouri played so fast -- are the games always this much fun to watch?" Well, yes they are, and hopefully the fact that Mizzou got the chance to showcase their high energy and entertaining style of play on a national stage will get them a couple of extra nationally televised games in the years that follow. Makes it a lot easier to recruit when you're a regular presence on Big Monday or Big Tuesday on ESPN.
