What a great tournament this has been for the PAC.

I think they will lose one of the next ones.

[F250 28,682]

That was fun game to watch. Sucks that it wasn't us playing. Fuck you Shaka.

[Underdog 28,455]

PAC with 3 teams in EE? Impressive. 

[ztejas 43,264]

So they're already remaking suicide squad? Is that what that is?

We can’t. Every coach that does well before they get a job at TX has to completely change everything about how they coach when they get here. 

Except Herman. He didn’t even bother changing the worst of his staff.

As of now...UCLA v. Michigan?  Who gives a shit? 

Yeah, two of the all-time great programs in the sport's history with huge fan bases.  One is a pretty freaking good #1 seed, the other is on an incredible Cinderella run.  They'll be lucky if 25 people watch that game.

To be fair I think it was understood that he meant who on this board gives a shit.

Probably the same ones that gave a shit about tonight's game would be my guess.

Oregon is going to wear USC out with this ball movement.

[utdlc 104]

Oregon's offense is beautiful to watch

After the best game of the tourny this is just dog shit. Was hoping for a nice Sunday night cap. Oh well.

I know People will watch the next round.   Just one twist of the knife of that ACU debacle is all.  I know we’re starting a new chapter but it’s gonna take another week to get over that choke job.  
 

ah well; onto to the night shift

Basketball gods:

I believe in not having three of my defenders standing inside the 3-point line in that situation, but I'm not the UCLA coach.

Hey, the Southwest Conference also has three teams in the regional finals.

Yeah, real terrible thing that'll never be properly called out because they won, but his team did basically the worst thing possible.

Oregon's shot selection is Shaka level

[USCATX 1,067]

Put that Mobley dunk on a poster and I’m a buyer. 

[Beau Vine 54,001]

Best dunk of the tournament, and how was that not a foul?

It was a foul, but the refs were ready to go home. 

[Vic Mackey 46,936]

At least one of the games was good today. The other 3 were snoozefests.

Giving props to the Lady Longhorns.  See the results of good Coaching in the lady horns.

There is no Surly-equivalent Illinois message board. I post occasionally on the least worst one, but over half of my posts eventually get deleted, and I'm on (relatively speaking) good behavior when I'm there. 

There is nothing like Surly.

the tournament has been a snoozefest so far-- the clear overseeding of Big Ten teams was a problem, but the empty arenas and the asinine decision to move the schedule off its traditional alignment has made it basically felt like trying to pay attention to the women's tournament

Almost always. 

[Juicy 723]

So the two games on Tuesday are Zaga/USC (both West Coast) and Michigan/UCLA, lets give the team in the eastern time zone the 10pm start because having Tuesday night 10pm games is just what they want. 

FUCK STUPID SCHEDULING.

Yeah that was the most absurd ending to regulation. Not only not fouling but completely backing away from the wide open dude taking a 3. It was like they were so scared of them hitting the three and getting called for the foul or something.

Don't worry.  You'll get yours soon enough, son.

Nate Oats: The best team doesn’t always win. The team that plays best that night wins, but it’s not always the best team.

Mick Cronin: "Winners know why they win. Losers don't know why they lost." 

[Underdog 28,455]

Fan of Oats but do better on the FT line and maybe you’re still playing. 

[Wally Pryor 5,244]

Yeah, that was atrocious from the stripe.   

Jones wanted no part of those 2 with 6 seconds left in regulation.   He'd have been better off just closing his eyes.   Neither had any chance to go in.

Michigan being on Eastern Time is perpetual stupidity.  The summer sun is in your eyes @8:30pm

[Underdog 28,455]

Why in the fuck isn't Baylor/Arkansas not the first game?  Good Lord, these dipshits could fuck up a gang bang.  Having bitched about that, time to say Go Cougs!  

[Macklemore 2,870]

UH has a whole roster of Patrick Beverly-like defensive hounds. Jerreau is not giving Thompson an inch to make shots.

I haven't watched them yet, but having first become a fan of college basketball because of Phi Slama Jama, I am a little happy for Benny Anders, Alvin Franklin, Michael Young, Reid Gettys, and whomever may have played with those guys.

In the name of Guy Lewis and his idiotic decision to slow it down against NC State, I am pulling for the Coogs.

[Underdog 28,455]

They get after you that's for sure.
