2010 NCAA tournament discussion thread

[shecky]

I'm glued to three games at the moment and will be for the rest of the day and tomorrow. So as not to clog up the Tap Room, any interested parties feel free to talk college hoops here.


I'll start. I can't remember so many close early games on day one. It bodes well. :rockin:

 

[dataz722]

Even Vandy/murray st is looking like it is going to be a good one. I can't see it though just scores.

 

[shecky]

Watch out for the Racers. They are good.

I would love to see nova lose.

 

[shecky]

No, shut up. Coach is a great guy.

What the hell was Redding thinking not taking an open layup ahead three with 20 seconds left? Idiot.

 

[dataz722]

I don't have a problem with them. Hell I usually like them during the season but it would help me out if they lost and I love seeing huge upsets.

 

[shecky]

RMU played a hell of a game but that last shot was horrendous.

Time to go out and shoot some hoops lest my butt be plastered to this couch until midnight.

 

[bob1852]

I agree - did he think he could pull a Bob Cousy and dribble out the last 20 seconds?

Always take the points!

funny part is 'bozo said in the bracket comments that he would be 100% right. Then Florida and ND lose

I noticed that, too. I bet his golf game is just like his predictions.

 

[bob1852]

So you (shecky) said that ND shouldn't lose to a team like ODU, but you picked ODU?

p.s. Shecky and Yooper 3-0 out of the gates

 

[humann_brewing]

nice how CBS is streaming the games

I wouldn't know. Its blocked here.

Well, that doesn't bode well at all. I suck at this, and Shecky claims he does, too. I guess we can revel in the short-lived glory of being #1. Until the next game ends...............

That's where my job helps. I've seen ND a lot. A little inside knowledge helps.

I don't know, Yoop, I actually tried this year. Of course, you're probably right.

Like when I picked UConn over ND in football and this one writer who covers UConn kept saying "no way"

 

[shecky]

Yeah, like that.

Actually, it's impossible for me to pick UConn. I see all the warts and issues. With the other Big East teams, I get a smaller sampling and it's sometimes easier then to filter things. You know?

Guess what? I get to go to Virginia Tech for an NIT game Monday night. Yippee.

 

[shecky]

I'm kicking myself for picking Vandy. I've never trusted Kevin Stallings as a coach. Dammit, dummy, why'd you pick Vandy?

Idiot.

 

[Yooper]

I'm kicking myself for picking Vandy. I've never trusted Kevin Stallings as a coach. Dammit, dummy, why'd you pick Vandy?

Idiot.

Er, I picked Vandy too. And I have them beating Syracuse in my big upset pick. So, if Vandy loses I'm really out of the race.

 

[shecky]

No way on God's green earth that Vandy beats the Cuse. Unless the Cuse doesn't have Arinze Onuaku.

Wait, even then Vandy won't beat the Cuse.

 

[bob1852]

yeah, I have Vandy beating 'Cuse also....

 

[bob1852]

holy ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay shecky, officially concede bowl week to today and tomorrow!

 

[Yooper]

yeah, I have Vandy beating 'Cuse also....

Well, it was a GREAT game, and a great finish. I'm done, though!

 

[shecky]

holy ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay shecky, officially concede bowl week to today and tomorrow!

Thank you.

I lost a game but that was freakin' awesome. What a great shot.

However, I think the official (Pat Driscoll) blew the call on with five seconds left. Looked like the Murray State dude hit it out of bounds.

 

[bob1852]

Thank you.

Your welcome.

first four games decided by 12 points, Sam Houston State tied with Baylor late, Richmond-St. Mary's tied at the half. What a day!

Like my g'pa would say - if you put yourself in a position where one blown call at the end of the game costs you, it's your own fault!

No argument there. I was just pointing it out. Never have I blamed the outcome of a game on the officials.


Although the umpires did screw the pooch on Knoblauch's phantom tag on Offerman in the 1999 ALCS. I'm over it now. No, really I am. Seriously.

Don't talk to me about bad calls in the ALCS.

Jeffrey Maier.

 

[dataz722]

Jeffrey Maier.

yup, thats the son of a ***** that had a bounty on his head for a while. Did you have to look up the name or did you actually remember it?

 

[dataz722]

why oh why in the hell did I let people convince me to take utep?

 

[bob1852]

why oh why in the hell did I let people convince me to take utep?

[dataz722]

Well they aren't now

 

[bob1852]

But there were then

I knew it but only because he played baseball at Trinity College in Hartford. I've interviewed him.

 

[dataz722]

Wasn't he from middletown or somewhere around there? You should have ball tapped him.

 

[humann_brewing]

time to go home and watch some BBall

 

[bob1852]

Is it too early for me to start my rant about how much money CBS could make if they had a DVD of ALL of the "One Shining Moments" that they do every year after the Final?
