The usual suspects quiet so far. It's a lot better with trash talk.

I thought Davidson was going to take out Marquette, but they get pips at the end. The rest of it is going to form.

12 seed California downs 5 seed UNLV.

Cal tried hard to recreate the the Davidson game. Them fellas was taking freethows like stone masons.

I dunno if I's one ah de usual suspects but I here, I juss doh automatically associate this board with basketball chatter... but ah here. Didn't get to watch too many games today, de fates pick de worst week tuh drop some busy in man inbox. Ah see de UNLV loss doh and ah watching Mizzou get handled by Colorado St. One thing true to form so far, teams from weak conferences having ah devil of a time... which doesn't bode well fuh Gonzaga... watch this space.

On the other end of the spectrum is Pittsburgh... dem shithongs. Run along to de ACC now and good riddance. Keep Syracuse spot warm fuh dem... dey eh coming right now, but soon enough.

As for my boys... ah pardna ah mine come thru in de clutch nice nice... and out ah de blue. Two tix to tomorrow's game versus somebody name Florida Gulf State U. Me eh care, Wells Fargo not even 10 mins from my house so I getting tuh enjoy ah March Madness game in person right in mih own back yard. Last time I went ah game was in 1995 when ah went and watch Georgetown (with Iverson) play North Carolina in the Sweet Sixteen down in Birmingham. Carolina had 5 McDonald's All-Americans, including Stackhouse, Wallace, Donald Williams, Jeff McInnis and Serge Zwikker. Donald Williams is de only one out ah all ah dem who didn't play in the NBA... Zwikker was on de Rockets bench but never log ah minute, so technically he too.

Georgetown had a nice team too... AI, Jerome "Junk Yard Dog" Williams, Don Reid, Othella Harrington and Jahidi White... all of whom played significant games in the NBA... we lost by ten, 74-64... too much Stackhouse.

Harvard?
First win in the tournament...they look good and Arizona will have their hands full

Have a feeling Marquette ain't moving further, barely beating Davidson. BUtler will handle them, (at least my bracket hoping so)

Looking forward to see Duke today....ah have them winning it all

Marquette could easily make Sweet 16... they won a share of the Big East regular season title and my Big East bias aside, they play extremely good defense, are near the top in the nation in getting the ball in the paint and in getting to the foul line. Their biggest weakness is their lack of consistent outside shooting. I think the win doesn't look impressive because you underestimating how good a team Davidson is.

Nah, I knew Marquette would struggle against Davidson. It will eventually come down to shooting for both Butler and Marquette....i.e If Butler hits their shots. It will be a good game nonetheless. Butler beat them already this year, history may repeat itself

Kansas St in real trouble now against la salle

Actually, VCU played them early in the season, so I've seen them play before (though they were on the other end of a beatdown).
Also, I have family in Ft Myers. If you ever down that way, check out the Edison & Ford Winter Estates.

But all that is just ole talk. After the past what? 6-7 years where allyuh keep getting knocked out in the early rounds, you shoulda learn by now to ~~fear~~ respect any opponent. At this point, if allyuh matched up against University of Phoenix Online, I would be worried.

On a serious note. How much longer does John Thompson Jr keep his job?

This team wasn't ready... I won't make excuses for them, but they were picked to finish 7th in the Big East so the overachievement catch up to them in the end it seems. Not one senior... two juniors on the team... no inside presence. Many of my friends bitching about JT III (John Thompson, Jr. was his father)... I have no worries about him or his job. He was named CBS sports Coach of the Year two days ago and in the running for other awards. The problem isn't coaching, but execution... as is to be expected from a largely inexperienced team. This is 4 years in a row we've lost to a double-digit seed, but too much is being made of that.

Davidson- lost a close follow up game to eventual champions KU.
VCU- went to the Final Four
NC State- Chris Wright broke his hand at the end of the season and came back less than a month later to play in this game. Not surprisingly we struggled. Had he been healthy AND we lost, then I'd say the criticism is legitimate. This and the Ohio loss in 2010 are the two legitimate blotches on his record if you ask me.

Gonzaga in trouble. But everyone was projecting an early exit for them

The A10 had a bad day.
St Louis and VCU get blown out. Butler can't make the buzzer-beater.

Well Syracuse just messed up 73.7% of 8.15 million ESPN brackets for people who had Indiana in the Elite Eight. Didn't Obama choose Indiana to win it all in his bracket?

I tell people Indiana wasn't going to do shit... Zeller overrated. He's ah next Tyler Hansbrough, drive in the lane crazy crazy, create a setta contact and get bail out by the refs. Time and time again. See what happen when they let them play? Next team getting found out is Duke. Plumlee is another one limited in what he can do... once yuh figure him out. Play him to drive left, and stay on your feet, don't fall for the up and under. I like him because he hustles, but very overrated. Without him Duke is a completely different team. Seth Curry is a player though... I was shitting on his game but he might make me a liar in the end.

Might.
