Indeed. They're choke artists but Kansas is a very well balanced team.

Xavier is losing in the 2nd half to St. Joe's....kinda glad to see that because I think they're a bit overrated and they screwed my bracket last year when they didn't beat Ohio State like I predicted.

T-RICH49 · 03-06-2008, 10:10 PM

Xavier is back in it not much time left though

St. Joe's really isn't that bad of a team and is one to watch out for if they make the tourney. They always seem to play teams close, so I'm not to surprised with the upset.

The Wisconsin Badgers defeated the Wildcats of Northwestern today 65-52. The Badgers clinched the outright Big Ten title with the win.

I never thought they would be able to win the conference this year after losing Kam Taylor and Alando Tucker, but they proved me wrong.

roidrunner · 03-08-2008, 04:04 PM

Louisville lost to Georgetown. Im pretty much heart broken. but atleast i have the badgers winning the big ten today.

Is Kammron Taylor playing professionally anywhere?

He was on Minnesota's summer league roster but outside of that I have no idea

Wow the Bruins are being handed another one by the refs at the end. This is unreal.

They got a call in their favor.... But Shipp's shot? are you kidding me??? Wow!

Yeah that was a nice shot, but it never should have happened. The intentional foul on Anderson was as blatant as can be. The refs handed the Bruins yet another. I just hate watching an entire game only to have it ruined at the end. Those Cal kids fought hard and beat the Bruins only to have it stolen from them.

Bluedevil$ · 03-08-2008, 05:00 PM

Duke-UNC tonight, I'm excited. Duke's going to need to get lucky on the boards to win... Lawson will be a problem as well

I'm pulling for UNC to win...want the Badgers to continue to climb in the polls...don't think a Duke loss would drop them below Wisconsin but it makes them closer

Who cares. A game-winner like that is why the whistle should be relaxed the last few seconds of every close game.

PalmerToCJ · 03-08-2008, 05:11 PM

Woohooo. UK gets the 2 seed in the SEC East. Only have a 3 game route to the SEC championship.

Agreed.I wonder if the refs will get a ring if UCLA wins a NC

Yeah, you're right. Who cares. Why even have rules. That game 'winner' was just so damn awesome that it negates the fact that the refs blatantly stole the ball from Cal and gave it to UCLA, thereby allowing the shot to take place in the first place.

See, Cal beat UCLA. Yet, somehow UCLA gets the W. But yeah, who cares. Why did they even play the game? I mean, nobody cares. Just give UCLA the win. Nobody gives a damn about what happens on the court, right? I mean all those fans in the stands and all the people watching on TV surely don't care. They were all forced to watch at gunpoint and couldn't care less what the turnout of the game was.

I agree the whistle should be a bit relaxed at the end of a tight game, but not when it's an obvious intentional foul situation, and not when it's as hard a foul with such devastating results as we saw with this particular play. BOTH teams are expecting that whistle. Anderson got mugged. There's just no excuse for not calling it.

Just wait until they have to play without pac 10 refs..

Princefeilder, no way does Wisconsin overtake Duke with a loss to UNC.

That is what I said but atleast it would make them closerin the polls

SuperMcGee · 03-08-2008, 05:40 PM

I don't normally watch as many Pac-10 games, but I caught this one and I'm with duck all the way. That was ridiculous non-call. I hate seeing stuff like that. I don't care for either of these teams, but it truly upset me to see it go down like that.

KCJ58 · 03-08-2008, 05:46 PM

the UCLA/Cal game was sick
