I dunno. I think his star has faded some for not making the tourney. But how can you really argue with 2 different Final Fours and led by two different stars. It's not like he got lucky, got one star, and rode him to the Final Four both times.

Can't ask for a much better look that last shot. it looked money.

Agreed. It was as open as can be but it just didn't go in. There's the difference between a college player and an NBA player. In the NBA, they don't miss wide open 3s like that. But college players just aren't that skilled. That's the difference between the two.

And while not at least making the tourney is bad, they lose enough the past two years that a significant drop off was inevitable.

And, you know what? It's nice to see Indiana back on the national scene. I'm pretty sure they're going to get rolled by Kentucky. But that's probably what everyone said back in December, too

Love the graphic for John Calipari: "2007-08 Lost in Finals".

No he didn't, Verne. Kansas beat no one in that game because they had to vacate everything. Again, one of the funniest parts is that you know the wins would never have been vacated if Mario Chalmers doesn't hit the three and Kansas wins because there's no way the NCAA ever has enough, um, guts- yeah, guts- to strip a national title from a team. I mean, they kindof did it to USC, but not really.

Definitely not until after Thursday's game. But after that, there was a lot of doubt, I know I had some. Still would have been an upset though.

They are playing with house money at this point. Sweet 16 and a player injured. Any win from here is just icing on the cake.

Yeah, I remember all the "hope" for them getting destroyed but I don't think anyone seriously believed it would happen.

I love watching this team play. I am so excited to see these guys make the sweet sixteen.

What a tough game and what a great comeback.

Looking forward to the rematch with Kentucky. It's gonna be the toughest game of the season by far. Kentucky is better today then they were in December, and they will be motivated. They are scary good, We will need good performances and alot of luck to win again.

Is there anyone who gets down the court faster than siva?

mauchow · 03-17-2012, 09:33 PM

For those that need a three point buzzer beater play, watch this:

Sam Dekker, a Wisconsin commit who scored 12 points in the final minute of his high school state championship to win it for his team. The play follows where the other team just made one of two free throws to go up by two. Dekker finished with 40.

Thank you, kind sir. I'm sure almost everyone will pick Kentucky, but then that is no different than our first 2 games in the tourney. I think Kentucky has the advantage, but I would not be surprised to see IU beat them again. I look at it this way: Nobody expected us to do this well this season, or get this far. We have defied expectations thus far. Maybe we can again. In any case, I LOVE this team, and they have been a joy to watch. Go Hoosiers!

mauchow · 03-17-2012, 10:31 PM

I love Kenpom -- prediction for Badgers game was 61-58 and actual was 60-57.

'Cuse/Badgers will likely be close to pick 'em but with the slight "home" advantage Cuse will probably be faves by 53% on KenPom.

Vegas has Cuse at 3.5 points at the moment.

mauchow · 03-17-2012, 10:34 PM

Bad foul call there. no chance for the guy and ref bails Louisville out. New Mexico not done yet.
