Seadragon76 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I sure as hell don't feel sorry for Syracuse. They keep falling into the same pickle and, one year, they ran the table and won the Big East tourny. You can't expect to do this every year and be good.Now, that we have 12 teams in, I ask this question: Is there any of those teams already in that worry you as a fan of your team? (In simpler terms: Which team you fear the most) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJMorris3 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Well, that team with the cruel runes upon its chest have survived another day. Mayhaps they can give the Hoyas a run for their money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Well, I'm pleased to announce that after going from a missed layup from the big dance to a 5-26 record in the span of three years, LMU coach Rodney Tention has been shown the door.http://www.sportsline.com/collegebasketball/story/10704565 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMcD29 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Between the Mets choking, Jets sucking, Islanders sucking, and now Syracuse hoops missing the tourny again, all I gotta say is thank god for Cornell and Princeton hockey (granted the Big Red need to run the table in the ECAC Tourny and the Tigers need some things to fall into place to get to the NCAAs) and lacrosse (and Cornell hoops now I guess) and that the 2008 MLB Season's a few weeks away Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orioles blow, Sabres are falling apart, Bills may move, Niagara, SBU, Canisius, Cuse, UB all missed NCAA's. At least I enojy the tourney w/o any team to root for. Hopefully we get a few good games in the first round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I can relate to the whole "my teams are sucking thing." The Hawks are playing their worst basketball at the worst time, the Thrashers are trying to recover from a fatal freefall, the Falcons are the Falcons, and worst of all, as soon as I start watching the Blackhawks, they start to stink. The only pro team I can count on are the Braves.But thank God for college sports and Mississippi State! Football team won the Liberty Bowl last year, and the basketball team's a lock for the tourney, and are primed for a surprise run at the SEC Tourney Crown. Go State!

Billy B Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Illinois upset Penn State today with a last second layup. Next up, Purdue. If they can pull off three more wins I will be amazed, but anything can happen. Illinois has never missed the tournament since I started following college basketball, and I don't want this to be the year.And a lot of the big schools that are on the bubble have been losing. That may open up the door for some mid-majors on the bubble to sneak in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJMorris3 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 There was talk, earlier this year, of the Atlantic-10 getting five bids this year. Is it possible that if Xavier wins this tournament that they might only get one, what with UMass blowing an 18-point lead to Charlotte just now?

NJTank Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 This will be interesting will they give Florida a shot just because they won the last two NCAA Tournaments or will they properly decided they are not worthy of a bid. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have played their way back into it by going on a run in the SEC tourney, but that didn't happen.Shinyhubcaps-who is Big East team #8 (or 7) as you seem to think Pitt is autobid or bust.

I feel 100% confident that this year's Pitt team is just another version of the overrated-early-season-domination-of-nobody-colleges-subpar-when-getting-into-late-season-conference-play-against-good-teams-and-choking-when-it-matters-not-making-it-past-or-even-to-the-sweet-16 Pitt team its been for the past almost 8 years.
