Runnin' Elite Eight thread

[kingcreole]

Kind of strange that never have four No. 1 seeds made the Final Four. I think after this weekend, that's going to change.

Should be a couple of good ones today.

Ohio State better not tempt fate again, or it's not going to make it. I don't really think Memphis is good enough to beat the Buckeyes unless the Buckeyes help out a lot.

Although I picked Kansas to make the NCAA final, I think UCLA beats the Jayhawks today.

Florida and North Carolina should win close games in their regional finals.

Seems like that's how everyone's picking that one.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

The good news: All four of my Final Four picks are in the Elite Eight
The shaky news: They are UCLA, Georgetown, Oregon, and Ohio State, iffiest of the 1 seeds.
I could win out. I could more plausibly be skunked.

Who cares about any of this. I wanna see how much unintelligible crap Raftery spews.

"Boogeegooja, yo weya! Onions!"

You da man, Bill.

Boy, is this a minority opinion.

I picked UCLA to win it all, but damn Kansas is playing good right now and I don't know if the Bruins can do it.

Oden will DESTROY Memphis today. It is time for the Buckeyes to unleash him. They've fallen behind in the last couple games because he hasn't been a big enough part of the game. Today that changes and they roll to the Final Four.

I'm hoping not. I'll leave the predicting to the Predictor, though. I'll just be fanboy-ing it up, in hope that the Tigers can surprise the nation.

Shutout baby.

Anyone read all the trash talking Joey Dorsey did about Oden coming into this game? Very harsh. And although I can't disagree with pretty much anything he said, it still wasn't smart giving OSU any bulletin-board material.

 

[Angola!]

Nothing like a little blood spurting out of some kid's head all over the floor. That was gross.
Also, Memphis has got some high flying dudes on its team.

 

[writing irish]

Tigers need to start scoring inside and grabbing some boards. Not to mention cutting down on turnovers. No way can Memphis win this game just shooting threes.

If they stay insanely hot they could, but they also might turn into USC or Tennessee or Washington State and take a giant, ice cold **** at the end of regulation.

Um, can we start the second half over again? :-\

EDIT: Thanks, Tigers, for starting the second half over again.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

NCAA refs, Greg Oden can knock you down, but dont you dare wrap up Greg Oden.

 

[Freelance Hack]

Perhaps this was discussed on another thread, but is there something wrong with Verne Lundquist? He just looks very swollen, like Jerry Lewis from a few years ago when he was suffering from a side effect to some medication.

 

[writing irish]

****.

 

[Norman Stansfield]

OSU with 18 straight FTs to close out the game. Way to go.

 

[Armchair_QB]

I feel so dirty rooting for Ohio State.
