Let's go Duke.
I’m curious as to what the proportion of Duke haters to Duke fans/non-haters is here.
by SeaTownBlueDevil on Mar 18, 2010 10:02 PM PDT reply actions
Somewhat ambivalent
I dislike UNC more.
But think that Singler looks like a douche.

Yeah, I hate UNC more, too.
It’s all the annoying white middle school kids who buy the UNC shorts and shoes thinking they are badass ballers. At least Duke apparel is limited to one area of the country.
Duke Hater
I’ve always liked UNC better, for no apparent reason. Plus I think it’s my mindset to like underdogs more than the teams that dominate all the time.

Totally agree, underdogs are where it's at.
Thus I’m not a fan of either Duke or UNC, but i’d rather go with UNC. And Scheyer looks like a jerk too…and Singler…well their whole team.
Scheyer is a real good, family type of guy. Pretty nerdy too, he's like the new Shane Battier.
Singler is tough as hell. I don’t know all of them, but we haven’t had a real, huge, douchebaggery-dripping jerk since Josh McRoberts.

Not a big Duke fan.
But I do like UNC. I started watching them cause Hansbrough and Lawson were amazing players. Well, I suppose they still are, just for different teams now.
Also a die-hard Hawks fan.

Hate Duke
I think it started with Thomas Hill crying like a baby.
I saw a Kelly Jennings INT.......really....

Yea too bad this wasn't put up 4 hours earlier. Woulda gone nuts.
That was a great game.
Now with more lemon bars!
Correct.
Approximate tip of 5:50 ET I believe, so around 2 here.
by seattle_since_81 on Mar 18, 2010 10:10 PM PDT up reply actions
And Turner
Elston definitely helped keep us in the game.

Great Defense
From everyone. Everyone really gave it everything they had
by killacamkilla2 on Mar 18, 2010 10:13 PM PDT up reply actions
That 5 minutes or so of no Marquette points at the end really killed them.
Now with more lemon bars!
Agree with everything said here.
Go Dawgs!!!!
Also a die-hard Hawks fan.
by Hopefulmsfan on Mar 19, 2010 12:11 AM PDT up reply actions
UW has a very good chance of knocking off New Mexico.
The Kenpom ratings have UW has a pretty solid favorite. G-town screwed me a bit today as for tomorrow I think Temple Cornell should be good, Cornell lights it up from outside but Temple is the 2nd best team in the nation at defending the 3.
Also, March madness is the best!
Huskies have a real chance to crack the sweet 16.
Getting past that will be incredibly hard/unlikely unless a top team gets upset.. But they could get there.
Now with more lemon bars!
Ya that's what I'm hoping.
UNM should be tough, but UW matches up well with them. If they learned anything from the Marquette game, it should serve them well against UNM.
But we really have to hope WVU gets upset.
Now with more lemon bars!
Looks like one of UNM's players
has a sprained wrist that could keep him out of the 2nd round.
There is really nothing else like March Madness
The greatest sporting event of the year. My dad and I went last year in Portland (down from Vancouver Island where I live) and it was awesome. Not to mention I pretty much fell in love with Portland as a city. Even went golfing at Pumpkin Ridge because it wasn’t raining. Pretty sweet trip.
I think today was the best day of college basketball I've ever seen.
Not in terms of quality of teams but quality of games.
Also a die-hard Hawks fan.
Murray St-Vandy was awesome
As was UW-Marq and N. Iowa-UNLV. I can’t remember a more exciting NCAA bball day ever before. GO Dawgs!
Also agreed.
UW-Marquette was great, BYU-Florida was fun, Robert Morris got robbed by the refs and should have won, Murry State was good, Wake Forest-Texas was also intense thoughout. I didn’t even get to see N. Iowa-UNLV, but saw the highlights, and it looked great too. Montana hung in there too, but I never really expected them to win. Exciting though.
Man the Huskies were dead in the water two weeks ago,
now they have a real shot at the Sweet 16. The NCAA Tournament is great!
TouchMyIchiro
The moves the Seahawks are making could be called "March Madness".
:(

that's funny....
because it’s true.
I saw a Kelly Jennings INT.......really....

So Apropos
Oh wait, this thread is about the NCAA tourney . . .
Speaking of, how ’bout dem Dawgs? how ’bout Morgan St?
Let’s go Zags!
Shanghai Kelly's on Polk St. in San Francisco is the worst bar on the face of the earth (at least on Sunday mornings).
Err, no coffee in the morning makes elfaro47 something something
I meant Murray St. not Morgan St but if they can take out WV . . . excellent! Great filer investment for the tourney.

UCSB Gauchos Anyone?
A #15 taking on #2 Ohio St? It could happen. Let me tell you, if the Gauchos could somehow throw enough tortillas and win this game, there will be a lot of couches burning in my neighborhood tonight.
I'll anwser my own question
UCSB looked like a high school team vs. Ohio St. Still, I was doing my Ole’s until the very end. Next year Gauchos!
I hate you, Siena.
I trusted you to get to the Sweet 16.
Wofford so close to beating Wisconsin.
"BANG!" - Jim Lampley's first word as a child
Siena might as well of taken me and..
well you fill in the rest. Damn Purdue…. I trusted SI.com that said you would lose!
New Mexico State got jobbed
Terrible from the refs down the stretch. How can you not put time back on the clock?
"BANG!" - Jim Lampley's first word as a child
HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kansas lost. Bracket done.
HUSKIES!!!!!
"BANG!" - Jim Lampley's first word as a child
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
Sixteen!
Talents that I covet:
Ndamukong Suh, Gerald McCoy, Sam Bradford, Mike Iupati, Golden Tate, Earl Thomas, and Freddie Barnes
So...how 'bout them Huskies?
Not to mention a bit of Northern Iowa taking down Kansas to add on top of St Mary’s cutting the last thread of Villanova’s hopes. Good stuff!
