NCAA tourney second round thread

[Bubbler]

the lopez brothers annoy me.

Look who's back! It's SJ's version of the Memory Cube from Aqua Teen Hunger Force!

Nah Bubbs, that's you. KCM is the Wisdom Cube.....

****! Wisdom cube, right.

I don't care if Huggins doesn't wear a shirt and tie, but whatever the hell t-shirt he's wearing just doesn't look right under a jacket.

I've got West Virginia over Dook, so as long as the refs don't screw me, I'll be good there

Yeah ... Duke got ALL the calls against Belmont. : :

If Belmont executes anything in the last two minutes, Duke is gone. Belmont played its butt off, and probably should have won. But the officials didn't give Duke that game.

Now, that game in the ESA did hinge on a phantom call ...

 

[Sam Mills 51]

Shut up and sit down, Thuggy.

Wait ... on second thought, keep it up. I think little would please me more than watching your sorry butt involuntarily walk off the floor.

The Duke officiating thing may or not be myth, but it's reached astronomical levels to the point where you can't watch a game without people commenting on every foul, even on the most obvious, blatant fouls.

Couldn't agree more on Belmont. They were too concerned with running the clock down in the last two minutes that all they got were forced shots to beat the shot clock. Didn't get a good look on any of their final possessions.

Th refs are calling this game way too close. They're not allowing for any rhythm in the game.

Here's why I like Duke (and I can totally understand why people hate them) because it's great for sport to have a villain. Listen to how loud that crowd is. It's all anti-Duke and it's louder than any other site, save for when a Cinderella is pulling off an upset. You also know the other team is always going to bring their A game.

They are a bit like the Patriots in that they do a lot of cheap and chippy **** and act like they're above it all. In both instances I which both would just embrace it. Be the villains, there's nothing wrong with it.

Thing is, I've been watching college basketball long enough to feel that Chapel Hill was always getting those breaks. And that was when Bill Foster was the coach in Durham. Mind games and Dean Smith were synonymous.

Just throwing this out there, don't even mean it to be critical.

Craig Bolerjack has cloned Gary Bender's voicebox. They are eerily similar.

 

[hockeybeat]

I don't see UNC getting to the Final Four. I think, save for Hansbrough, they're just too soft. And Duke's to be eliminated, and soon.

Duke will have trouble with Xavier or Purdue

Duke will have trouble with Xavier or Purdue

I don't think they get this one. WVU hasn't played well and they're only down 5 with a chance to get closer on this last possession.

 

[imjustagirl]

You know, a 34-29 first half? I'm glad I didn't get up and go to DC to scalp a ticket.

I don't think they get this one. WVU hasn't played well and they're only down 5 with a chance to get closer on this last possession.

The fact that WVU hasn't played well in the first half doesn't guarantee they will in the second.

Careful ... that Baby Blue slip is showing ...

What makes you think that West Virginia is beating itself? It's not.

By that logic, I can counter that Duke can easily shoot better and blow Thuggins and his guys off the floor. But I won't take that road.

 

[Angola!]

I might have turn the sound off. These announcers are handing out proverbial blow jobs left and right to Duke.
I hope they lose, that will be hysterical. The announcers might cry.

 

[WS]

The annoucer BJs to Dook happen all the time

But, I did pick West Va with the anticipation that Alexander and Ruoff would be shooting much, much better than they are. They can't get it within three or so

It's not a guarantee, but they've been playing well the last few weeks and I think they step up and beat Duke in the second half.

already screwing me

Paulus can't stay that lucky all game

Paulus is a flopping little ****.

His day will come . . . hopefully, today. If not, certainly next week.

god, now the refs are really starting to step in for Dook. 2 fouls in the last six seconds
