March Madness
 

Wow….. I just finished watching Memphis versus #6 Louisville in the conference USA championship.

Down 2, with 4 seconds left Memphis inbounds the pass and shoots and misses a 3 with no time left BUT he gets fouled….

He made the first…..

Missed the second….

Missed the third…. Louisville wins….. :( What suspense filled ending….

Gotta Love March Madness! |headbang|

Let’s hear the predictions; I’m going with Illinois to win it all.

Syracuse :D

I almost forgot about March Madness!

My top pick is UCLA.

Here's a free bracket to print: http://www.madduxsports.com/2005bracket.pdf

Wow, alot of ranked teams dropping like flies....

NC #2
WF #3
MSU #10
Uconn #14
Oklahoma #17
'Bama #19

WOW |shocking| what a great finish to Wisc/Iowa

Wisc game winning shot 0.4 left

I don't know how many games I've watched this week.

GG - the Buffalo Bulls are playing for conferance champs and automatic bid to the dance.

I'll need to see the seeding before picking a winner.. favs though are Illinois and Duke.

UCLA??? They still play basketball West of the Mississippi :D

UB will go in the 1st round - our BB teams sucks - hell, even the Braves moved to San Diego :D

GG- Well, you don't have to worry.. lol
Idiots, complete idiots... time out with 23 second and shoot with 17???

Yup - no worrying here - up 19 in the 2nd half & they shit the bed - typical :D

UF beat (spanked) UK for the SEC.... that is nice... It's always been hard for me to decide who I hate more in basketball, UK or NC, so when they lose I generally have a smile on my face.

Duke looks like it will win the ACC once more... too bad I thought GT had them.

They are saying the ACC will get 3 of 4 #1 seeds.... HOW?

Wake Forest and North Carolina did not make the ACC finals and Duke beats GT in the final minute....

My picks for #1 seeds

Illinois (win or lose)
Duke
Louisville
North Carolina

Washington a #1 - WTF???
MN Gophers Men should get one... (best season for years already - so winning isn't important here)
Women #3 seed - should win one, then it gets very tough.

Yeah, UW is a better choice then WF, but Louisville is a #4??? wow...

I think they got dissed...

GG - Syracuse - Sweet 16 maybe?
Let them rest up, get some practice in, and let's roll!!

Didn't see the game but my 6th grader said MN simply sucked.
(they watched the game instead of playground - gotta love small towns :) )

I was watching our region high school team get beat too.
Is it illegal to coach from a chair?? LOL

Waiting for the MN women to see what happens there.
2 games at Home.. they better make the Sweet 16.

Oh man - I can't believe that I forgot about Niagara University making it from the Buffalo area....oh wait, they lost in the 1st round :D

Shit...Just watched Syracuse lose :(

Syra excuse????
Now I don't feel so bad.

Damn, I had New Mexico beating 'Nova...

Bucknell over Kansas?????

wow.......

WVU might beat WF if I think it hard enough. The big east is #1!!!!

Buh Bye UConn....

I picked that one :D

I had to watch Syracuse because it is where I went to shcool and, I had a Basketball Jones going for some reason. But, I am so disenfranchised now, I just don't want to watch anymore.

What a great finish to OSU and AZ....

AZ vs ILL will be a classic, MSU vs Duke should be good and Louisville proved who the real #1 seed was....

I still can't believe that KHU fucked up or that NGU made it this far :D

How's AZYO doing?

wow... theres goes Duke and NCST....

I'll be glad when the football season starts |clown|

Big Ten has a descent showing :)
(makes MN look better lol)

Holy Crap what a day in March Madness!

Lousiville down 20 wins in OT

Ill down 15 with less then 2 mins and takes it to OT...

2005 will go down as one of the best tourneys ever.

Whatta game!

Ill wins by 1 in OT

how the hell did Arizona lose that game? |banghead| damn that was a great game right down to the wildcats last pathetic offensive posession

Told my son with 2 mins left in the first half the Louisville would come back and win it.

Illiniois... they didn't play like the #1 team at all.

MN women beat by Baylor :( But it was the third time in a row to the Sweet 16. Plus we have some great players signed for next year :)

wow, can a 3 be any closer to a 2 then it was tonight on the last second shot from UK?

OT for the 3rd time in 2 days.... |thumb

Damn 2 OT's....

way to go "weak" Big Ten with 2 in the Final 4 |shocking|

I'd love to see a Ill/MSU final |thumb

What a tourney :)
A number 4 that should have been 1 at least 2.
A number 5 placed probably correctly simply exceeding all expectations.
The number one playing like 8.
Milwaukee making the Sweet 16.

I think you're correct Torn - this year may be the best tourneys ever! :)

Still wondering if they seriously play BB West of the Mississippi??
(and for the geography buffs, yes the U of M is on the West side of the river, but the campus is on both sides :) )

The Final 4 is finally here....

Ill vs Louisville then North Carolina vs Mich St with the finals on Monday night.

I'm rooting for a Ill vs Mich St finals, but I think it will be Ill vs NC and Ill will win it all.

Any other predictions or will you all be like greenguy and wait for the results before you say "that's what I thought"
:D |pokefun| |greenguy|

I'm with Torn -
Makes the Big 10 better than the ACC :D

Oh well 1 of 2
I can live with that.
Go Illinois :D

yeah, MSU just didnt have the talent needed.... go Illinois!

Hey Dare - I think I owe you a |buddy| PM me your mailing info :)
