march madness 2015

[Nick M]

Remember Kenny Andrson not getting the shot off? Of course not. You wanted it to be good, and good sports fans see what they want to see. And bookies take advantage of it. This was that game against Michigan State. They even pulled the card about the buzzer is the end, not zeroes on the clock.

He hadn't even rolled it forward for the release. And you have to listen to the announcers promote what they are paid to promote. Sort of like the end run of the BCS. I am going to look for more great endings. Even ones I don't like.

I think UVA has a good shot. Kentucky isn't great on offense anyway. Virginia is your best bet for an upset

What? By the way, Wisconsin is great on defense. A fact demonstrated before that beating they laid down in Columbus yesterday. I think they can both do it. So can Duke. Of course doing and can do are two different things.

I am excited for this ho-hum top heavy tournament. I am excited for chrysostom to make bold predictions like 8 seeded teams are going to lose today.

Michigan gave Wisconsin all they could handle in a valiant effort. But Wisconsin was cool and on point and took Michigan's best swing in the win. Florida and Kentucky just started the second half.

Americans will drop $9 billion betting on March Madness

And none from me.

Maryland got by Indiana in a good battle in the Big 10 tournament. Maryland gets the winner of Michigan State and Ohio State. I think Sparty takes that one. Unless that superhero guard for OSU gets it done. You know how the NCAA tournament falls to great individual effort sometimes.

notre dame who lives and dies by the three

earlier this year
I was channel surfing and stumbled across the nd at unc basketball game
and
nd was ahead
well there was plenty of time left
it looked like nd was running the picket fence against them
they used a lot of time
but
all of a sudden someone would go in for an easy basket
where did this team come from?
they really sucked last year
how could one player make such a difference?
grant had to take last year off for academic problems

How many times has a team played Duke and Carolina on back to back nights?

 

[chrysostom]

how many teams have beaten duke and nc twice in the same season?

 

[chrysostom]

so this is what you do to an acc champion

mich st
kansas
kentucky

thanks a lot joe
I hope they have a better idea

 

[chrysostom]

nc was not going to let them get to the basket like duke did
nc made them use the three
ten from five players was all it took
all five starters in the double figures
against duke this freshman came of the bench to score 17
you have to guard them all
I think they are ready for the big dance

Don't worry about MSU. They are bad this year. And Kansas sometimes totally flops in the tournament so if they face each other maybe they'll catch Kansas on one of those years. But if they face Kentucky that will be the end of their road.

Except for MSU is playing for the conference title today and Izzo has taken several long shots to the final four.

It's over anyway. If UK loses I'll be mad
