omnivore Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hell of a game. Shaka Smart is a genius and his team is awesome. Well executed game at the end there. I was worried for them, but that last basket was extremely well executed, a damn fine play and FSU just stunk finishing as they did in regulation. Love it.

rams80 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Why would anyone root against OSU in basketball? They're good about once a decade.They're kind of like the Big Ten's Texas. They're pretty good at everything, and the rest of the league hates them for it.

infrared41 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I'm just delighting in the misery of someone on another message board who put up a thread guaranteeing that Ohio State would win it all when the bracket was announced.So the logical choice was to "delight" on this message board where your nemesis will never see it? Makes perfect sense to me. You're one strange cat. I respect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMcD29 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 So the Big East has more teams remaining in the tournament than the Big Ten, who was the other conference up for the best conference debate In all seriousness though, 7 different conferences represented in the Elite Eight, including the Colonial and Horizon. Thank goodness SEC Football fans don't care as much about basketball or else we would be hearing "ESS-EEE-SEE" chants non-stop right about now. Gonna be a very interesting remainder of the tournament with the variety of teams we're seeing here. Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're taking shots at someone who isn't a member here and is on a completely different board. That would seem to indicate that the target of your "mockery" can't see any of the stuff you've posted here. So why are you doing this again?

Lights Out Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 To be honest (except for Kansas/VCU), I don't think the higher seeds in those matchups are that much better than the lower seeds. I guess they could go either way for me but seeing how upset-riddled this tournament has been, I wouldn't be surprised if the higher seeds get knocked off. Also, Butler and Arizona have played really well lately.And I only picked VCU because I hate the Jayhawks. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameroncrazie07 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Wow I haven't been on here since Thursday afternoon so I have to share my thoughts. All I can say is wow, what a second half by Arizona in that game. I'm not gonna lie at halftime I thought that Arizona was a one man team that completely sucked. But boy did they prove me wrong in the second half. Even after the 19-2 run I expected Duke to make some sort of comeback to get it within 10 maybe. Never happened. Oh well, congrats to Arizona and one of their biggest fans Kevin W. I'll be rooting for them against Uconn.

Kevin W. Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Yeah, I'd like to quote Cujo from Twitter:It's people like @KWUofA [that's me] who make me wanna see #Duke hang triple-digits on #Arizona tonight. It'll be like 01, only more severe! :grin:It was more severe than 2001. Just the other way around.

OnWis97 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 VCU wins. 2 mid-majors in the Elite 8.Internet troll imagery goes here for Mr. Jay Bilas.I'd actually argue that this does not validate VCU's birth. They've shown what they were capable of, but that does not mean their season was wor Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."
