crashcarson15 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 You know what really cracks me up? Even though the Big East is getting exposed in March again, they'll have like ten teams ranked in the preseason polls next year again, and the selection committee will try to find a way to put even more Big East teams in the tournament at the expense of teams that deserve a spot more.The "11th" Big East team, Marquette, did prove that they deserve to be here by beating a 6th-seeded Xavier team many had making a run. Just saying...Although, as a whole, the Big East is overrated. No reason Georgetown should've been a 6-seed for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 It may have been covered, but how did UNC end up playing its first two games essentially on its home court? That ain't right. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 And looking at the free-throw disparity, UNC apparently got home refs along with their "home" court. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I thought so in the first half, but it's been a different story in the second half. Considering the contact they're letting go, I think refs are basically doing a good job. So far it's been a player's game more so than the refs.Does the NCAA assign conference refs to tournament games the way they do for bowl games? Do conference refs even exist? 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Nope, UNC still got home cooking throughout the end of the second half. Regardless, they'll be exposed in Newark, where they're not playing in front of a home crowd with home refs. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Washington gave this game a way but the shot that went of the UNC player's hand there wasn't 0.5 left, there was about 1.1 so it may have mattered in the end.

knnhrvy16 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Well first I was thinking on that potential goaltending, "it was a two pointer anyways, so it wouldnt have changed much". But then Greg Anthony pointed out that there should have been 1.2 seconds left instead of 0.5...just as I thought there wouldn't be controversy, now there's at least a question. In a post-game interview just now, Washington's coach said they asked to check the clock and the refs said they checked it, too. That doesn't look or sound good. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

NEW.ERA Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Just because Charles Barkley can't provide an insight to the Michigan-Duke game outside of they're too young to beat Duke.

HedleyLamarr Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 It may have been covered, but how did UNC end up playing its first two games essentially on its home court? That ain't right.It takes about 2.5 hours to drive from Chapel Hill (and Durham, for that matter) to Charlotte. Though I assume Charlotte's got a fair amount of UNC and Duke fans that live there...it's technically a neutral site, especially since UNC-Charlotte is the host school for the Charlotte games. (Plus, with all the Duke fans in the building, Washington had no shortage of fans pulling for them during the game.)It's hardly the first time that a higher-seeded team has gotten to play so close to home. Ohio State got to play games in Cleveland. Florida got to play games in Tampa. It's a perk the higher-seeded teams get to enjoy. This has been happening for years.

cameroncrazie07 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 On another note, why is Duke playing on Thursday? Espescially when theyre traveling to Anaheim. I thought that all of the teams playing on Saturday play on Thursday. Anyone know how they decide this? The Core 4 Sports Podcast Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakwood Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 To think that this Michigan team had no seniors on it, yet they took Kansas to OT and pushed Duke to the wire shows how much heart these kids have. Next season should be a very special one in Ann Arbor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
