UGH WHY SHOOT IT FROM JIMMER TERRITORY?!?!?!?

whomario · 03-16-2012, 09:45 PM

What a fucking moronic shot, holy hell was that terrible. Fuck that ...

ColtCrazy · 03-16-2012, 09:45 PM

Worse clutch shot ever? Wow.

Seriously, find 15 minutes of basketball better than these last 3 games. Unreal.

sterlingice · 03-16-2012, 09:47 PM

So close but Purdue escapes

Cmon Purdue! You can do it!

Great look, waddya do?

whomario · 03-16-2012, 09:47 PM

St Marys with some inexcusably dumb things late, they gave this away right from the start with shitty play and then finished acordingly.

Logan · 03-16-2012, 09:47 PM

Another game? Don't mind if I do.

Young Drachma · 03-16-2012, 09:47 PM

So sad that I have missed these games judging debate all day. But maaaannnn what a crazy ass day. Love it.

ColtCrazy · 03-16-2012, 09:47 PM

Gotta love Hummel. Just won the game, he's over there helping a St. Mary's guy get up. Even an IU fan has to admit that's good of him.

Good job Purdue!!!

whomario · 03-16-2012, 09:48 PM

seriously, up 1 and you travel on the inbound ?

Happy for Hummel though.

bulletsponge · 03-16-2012, 09:48 PM

somewhere dicky v is having a heart attack. please dont revive

sterlingice · 03-16-2012, 09:48 PM

I think my brackets are on a 4 game losing streak: Mizzou, Michigan, Duke, and St Marys. Then again, I think most brackets had a 3 game losing streak until this 50/50 one

People who say the NCAA doesn't favor Duke just need to look at that game. A freakin stomp goes unpunished both in the game and after. Just disgusting.

SackAttack · 03-16-2012, 09:49 PM

I think at this point, let's watch the world burn - go Detroit!

ColtCrazy · 03-16-2012, 09:49 PM

Brought my 5th graders brackets home. Will go through them shortly to see how they are doing.

Michigan? Seriously? I didn't you know you had them.

TroyF · 03-16-2012, 09:52 PM

Am I really living in a world where the CU Buffs are one of the final 32 and Duke isn't?

Wow. Life is good tonight.

The only thing left to make everything perfect would be for Kinfucky to lose this weekend.

ColtCrazy · 03-16-2012, 09:57 PM

I'm 17 for 27 so far, all Final Four teams are alive, lost 2 Elite Eight teams.

Damnit coach K. Just act classless once after a game like this so I can let my hatred of your program really shine through. Just once?

Classy interview from him. Gotta hand it to him for how he handled it.

Then later that same tournament, the refs absolutely raped Indiana to give Duke another win. Worst officiated game I have ever seen in any sport.

Scoobz0202 · 03-16-2012, 10:01 PM

Of course the day I have the majority of my finals and drive to the hometown for a weekend I miss the greatest day in ever.

Don't get me started on that game. My all-time favorite IU team. Should have won that game. Makes me mad thinking about it and it solidified by hatred of Duke.

I used to dislike him but find it harder now that he's coached the USA Basketball team to back to back gold medals. But I still have no problem rooting against Duke.

What a fun afternoon/evening.

I put the Maryland/Duke final four game, the Lakers/Kings game 6 as my top two of all time, but the Indiana/Duke game was also terrible. Was barely born with the USA/Russia basketball game in '72, but on a historical note, that was was an amazing screw job.

sterlingice · 03-16-2012, 10:06 PM

I think it's time to check out Temple. I had them beating Michigan so I guess I should watch them a little more. There are a lot of non-Big XII teams I just know so little about but I make bracket picks looking at record, teams beaten, size and team makeup, etc, which gives a measure of impartiality.

SI

cuervo72 · 03-16-2012, 10:07 PM

Wow, that was one ultra-sloppy sequence in USF/Temple.

sterlingice · 03-16-2012, 10:13 PM

I think Temple and South Florida are trying to beat the Princeton-UCLA score

Green is too much of a workhorse for them to get beat by a 16 seed.

ColtCrazy · 03-16-2012, 10:17 PM

Best bracket in my class has 22 of 27 games right. They scored on Purdue, Colorado, and NC State.

Most interesting bracket? One girl picked Norfolk St. to beat Missouri. Then put them in the Final Four. Her Final Four includes them, VCU, Ohio and Syracuse. All 4 are still alive!

k0ruptr · 03-16-2012, 10:21 PM

Go Detroit

sterlingice · 03-16-2012, 10:23 PM

Whoops. Missed the first couple of minutes of our game. I see it's a whopping 4-2

SI

sterlingice · 03-16-2012, 10:26 PM

Man, Detroit has some tall trees for a 15 seed. We're only 2 deep underneath. They're both really good but we only have 2

k0ruptr · 03-16-2012, 10:27 PM

Yea Detroit is huge geez.

mauchow · 03-16-2012, 10:27 PM

ColtCrazy · 03-16-2012, 10:29 PM

I believe in Izzo. He'll figure this out. Can't see MSU losing. But something tells me the upsets of the night aren't done, so I'm not overly confident.

The announcer said he didn't think Detroit would be used to playing against a team with the length of Kansas. When he said it, my first thought was "You realize they have to go against each other in practice, right?"

sterlingice · 03-16-2012, 10:47 PM
