Ramsay B. Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Uconn loses their top recruit coming in next year. This is getting comical now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Holy Cow! Miss State just beat UConn in overtime with a last second buzzer beater! Sets up an all SEC Final with USCe. Refs did everything they could to give UConn the game with a really weak review of a flagrant 1 to give UConn the chance to tie with free throws and get the ball. UConn ran their play too early and lost it out of bounds with 12 seconds to play. Little 5’5" Tyler Ulis of a gal fearlessly took the last second shot to end the 111 game winning streak.

And for the most part it's been smashing failure taking one of the elite programs and sending it into grinding mediocrity...except that they cashed in a national title along the way. And wasn't that Napier team like a 6 seed or something? 7 seed. They played 8 seed U.K. making the combined 15 seed of the teams the highest ever to play in the title game. Still disappointed in that game. That tourney run is still my favorite in Kentucky history. The fact it came up short is always frustrating.

The conference thing is really killing them in recruiting but he does seem to make some odd choices with the talent he goes after. He'd rather have nothing but athletic guards instead of anybody who can actually shoot. I don't even know anymore. I feel like this team is descending into just being a decent mid-major team. 1 hour ago, sperry said: Ollie may go down as the worst coach to ever win a major American sports championship. That's a bold statement. There's a long list of bums out there who got lucky. Also, my dad is probably devastated about Uconn women. I have to give him a call tomorrow to see how he's doing.

Jace, Extat Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Alright bruhs and britches, I got Oregon beating Zaga in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducks sure have a tall task against UNC today, but if they're going to pull it off, they're likely going to need something similar to what they got against KU: Brooks being his usual self, Dorsey staying hot to be their 2nd scoring star, and Bell staying out of foul trouble and single-handedly disrupting the boards and blocks Ben Wallace-style. My final prediction though is that that it's Gonzaga v. UNC with the two favorites surviving today. I'd rather see Oregon take it so that a religious institution is deprived the pleasure, but if it comes down to it Zaga is better than a Carolina. At least it's west coast.

Ramsay B. Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I think it will be Gonzaga-UNC also. I was thinking about parlaying them today but decided to not waste my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great first half. The refs are really letting them play out there, and I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a really good big, but he is quite slow and lumbering. The rest of the team can really run, so they're able to push a pace a bit with Karnowski out. I liked their ability to spread and attack without him at the end of the half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Seswatha Jordan Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 @Triskan, you were right, Zags are legit. And Congrats to them, nice to see new blood (wether the color of it) in the Ship. Now, I think is like to see Oregon and a all West Coast finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ded As Ned Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Well SoCar didn't make it Looks like UNC is gonna face Gonzaga, so this is a real conundrum. My ex-wife is from the Spokane area, and a big chunk of her family is from North Carolina and UNC fans... Is there a nuclear option? And for what it's worth, Ned Jr. is rooting for UNC, "because family lives there". True enough son, but this is a meteor championship for me.

Whiskeyjack Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I'll actually be rooting for you though, ME. I did pretty much the same bracket in my wife's work pool, except she wanted Gonzaga winning it all. She wins if they win, and since it's for money it gets priority.
