Que?

The creighton coach got caught saying something arguably racist. It sounded racist but I think it came out wrong if I had to guess. It was stupid- something about going back to the plantation or something like that. 

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

By stupid I mean stupid of Him to say. 

[Underdog 28455]

Sweet move and shot by Iona. 

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

Rick Pitino- top 5 all time tournament coach?  Top 3?  

[DeadArmadillo 907]

Iona vs Bama... gotta another great game going

I hope the Gaels pull this out . . . . . unlike their head coach in the bar of a closed Italian restaurant

[HtownHorn 14487]

Iona starting to feel their Oats a little.

And just like that a 7-0 Bama run.

And this is why I said Bama by 15 or so. They just have the chance to put a 10-0 on anyone in the country in the blink of an eye, and I don’t see a 15 seed as the kind of team to avoid that happening, but really fun game.

Wooden, Knight, K, Calhoun, Rupp, for sure Top-10. 

[LTtxfan 48975]

Any upsets today ???

[Underdog 28455]

I feel Iona has another run in them.

Iona plays well.  Their guards are tough and aren't afraid to drive into paint to draw contact and attack.  

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

I’m not as old as you and have only been following college hoops passionately since about 1985, but in my lifetime gun to my head I probably go K, Pitino, then Izzo- but Calhoun is a good one is forgotten/overlooked. I think he should be in ahead of Izzo. I’d put Pitino above knight I think. 

[Wanker Bob 379]

This tournament is far more entertaining than anything in college football. The college football playoffs are as boring as watching golf because they're so predictable and the games are ridiculously long. 

[HtownHorn 14487]

Bama finally starting to take command of this game. Too much athleticism for the Gaels.

Knight is right after Wooden of great coaches, imo.  He probably has 4 titles and back2back undefeated seasons had Scott May not been injured or they'd most likely have beaten UK in '75 Regional Finals(I'll never admit that to a Hoosier).  But given your timeline, I can see putting RP ahead of him.  

And I completely brain farted on Smith(ugh!) would add McQuire, Sutton, JThomp2.  You could throw in Wright in modern time, 2 titles is nothing to sneeze at, Cal for how he builds his teams, although cocksucker needs to go coach the Liberty.

Iona Bama was back and forth the whole game them Bama pulled away with like 7 min left.  Damn

Am I crazy thinking I’d rather bama than Iona in the sweet 16. Petino vs Shaka would be a problem 

Edit: well guess it doesn’t matter now

Where does Roy fit? 9 FF's, 3 titles.

Well FBS does not actually have a playoff system. They have a jerk off 3 games that does not even represent even close to all the conferences. March Madness is definitely much better. Imagine if college basketball went to the FBS system and we get 4 teams they tell us are the best and it lasts a few days.

One Tarheel is enough for me.  But yeah, another brain fart.  He belongs.

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

Above is what happens when I tell my wife- I just want to lay on the couch all day and watch college basketball. 
the fire department is now here because that trail leads to a huge bonfire of logs.

That’s the pile I’m more concerned about.

LOL, Just wondering. Roy's my 2nd favorite coach after Dean.  I think he gets overlooked at times because he's had some crazy tourney losses. According to WIKI, he's had 10 2nd round losses. Seems high for a guy who has coached at 2 established blue bloods. 

[Underdog 28455]

And he employs an entertaining style of play.  But he's a hell of a coach.

Chalk afternoon is lame. Hopefully we get some Cinderellas this evening.

[Underdog 28455]

Careful what you wish for.

Watching Iowa. Have to turn my screen brightness down.

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

The results of leaving a woman unsupervised. So we have a burn pit? Yes we do. Did she say to me- I didn’t think it was going to burn? Yes, yes she did.
Firemen thought this was high comedy.

Pac is currently 4-0 with I think UCLA and Oregon remaining.  

 

[Wulaw Horn 18980]

I will take Pitino over Smith and Williams. When Pitino had a blue blood he had an awesome stretch. Then won again at Louisville. Plus what he did at smaller piss ant schools. 
Smith didn’t win enough titles for me to consider him an all time great tournament coach.

If she is anything like the women in my family, those logs have been out there for over a year. But today they just had to be burned.

Ha. No. We cleared the land a week ago. Just got back from spring break where I drove home from Santa Fe for 14 straight hours and I told her- setting alarm for 10:55 and not leaving couch. Don’t count on me for anything.  Then I get a call with here yelling come quick- I’m going to burn down the whole neighborhood. Worked at it for about 30 minutes with the shovel before seeing the pile on fire and giving up and consenting to calling fire department as I wasn’t going to be able to get in there or move them while they were burning. She’s a really great woman. I know she didn’t mean to do this, not even in a passive aggressive way, but sometimes they just cannot help themselves. 
will likely be able to parlay that into call your shot sex tonight as she will feel bad. So, that’s an upside I guess.

Best to my recollection, Rick is 0-2 vs Dean in the NCAAT.  Not sure if he's ever matched up with Roy in it.   And a lot of Dean's pros/cons of his tournament resume was when you had to win your conference to even get in it and when you did, had to deal with that school out West who was kicking everyone's ass.  Pretty much the rest of the country was Oakland, Miami, Dallas, Houston having to deal with the Steelers in their heyday.

Good job, 2A. 

[Pancho 44476]

Could be correlated but no evidence this is the cause.  Regardless, the NCAA probably should have done a 2-week bubble first. And apparently Ayers isn’t doing well health wise.  He’s actually the 1 official I thought would be missed out of that group of 6 that got sent home.

It was ruled no contest...I think that means you get your money back in Vegas, on either team.  Now, how will it be handled in brackets?  Oregon advances but you get no points for them in round 1 is what I would guess.
