Then gets absolutely destroyed by Joseph Jones on the other end.

I love Darren Collison!

yo123 · 03-22-2008, 10:40 PM

Darren Collison is a stud.

Cashmoney · 03-22-2008, 10:40 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if I started losing hair over the stress this tournament is causing me...

devinhester=R.O.Y 2006 · 03-22-2008, 10:41 PM

Please God no threes for A&M!

Cashmoney · 03-22-2008, 10:41 PM

What a hellacious way to end a game.

B-Dawk · 03-22-2008, 10:41 PM

wow what an end

Canadian_kid16 · 03-22-2008, 10:42 PM

thank god...thank god

Cashmoney · 03-22-2008, 10:42 PM

Not that it really matters but I don't think that dunk at the end should count. lol

Nah, you could see on the replay that the light went red before he threw it down.

familyguy555 · 03-22-2008, 10:47 PM

Oh yeah i just watched it.

Cashmoney · 03-22-2008, 10:58 PM

7-1 today. I am now tied for first in my pool with..... duh duh duh! My own father.

Nitschke-Hawk · 03-22-2008, 11:16 PM

It's hard not to love this UCLA team for how they fight. (Plus they almost killed my bracket) Squeaking out the close ones all year is gonna help them the rest of the way. They've been tested more than any of the other top teams. Collison, Westbrook, Love,: BEASTS.

buckeyes12 · 03-22-2008, 11:19 PM

yeah UCLA saved everybody's brackets tonight. Even though im hating mine right now (thanks duke, PITT, usc you all blow). its sooo damn hard to pick a really good bracket, i know more about college bball than any1 in any pool ive been in, and i consistantly take 2nd/3rd place. the winner always gets so lucky

I've won bowl picks before but I've never won an NCAA tourney pool so I'm pretty stoked I'm currently tied for first.

First a rant.......

I am not a Duke fan, but I wanna kick everyone in the balls who says "Duke sucks" or "The refs wanna give the Dookies the game." Thats just ********, it pisses me off when teams blame their shortcomings on the refs. West Virginia won, great, goodie, but God damn it, quit saying refs are rigging it, or that u are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy Duke lost, thats great, but I don't care if ur happy or not, I just don't.

Second of all: my final four picks next year: Duke, Pittsburgh, Kansas, and Tennessee. I pick them all to go to far in the tourney every year, and they **** up. 2 of the 4 already did so. I think another one has a real good chance to **** up today. And C'mon Kansas, prove me wrong, I picked u, but I still worry about u.

I'm worried about Tennessee's chances next year. They won't have a guard worth a flip on the roster next year with Jajuan Smith and Chris Lofton leaving. Ramar Smith and J.P. Prince play out of control too much.

um, pitt doesnt do well in the tourney

they havent made the elite 8 in a long time, and they lose a lot in the 2nd round---mich st, pacific, bradley, etc

A few things.

As talented as I think he is, Joe Alexander seems to have a big attitude problem. I hadn't noticed it until this past game, but it was pretty clear there. And on a side-note, had he not forced so many awful shots early, WVU probably would have blown out Duke. It was sad that a bunch of the commentators and analysts were giving him a bunch of credit when it really had little to do with him.

On the flip side, another sad tournament for Duke. It's funny because in the post-game press conference, Coach K almost seemed to be indifferent about losing, at least on a personal level. Hopefully he tries for next year and gets a legit Big.

K-State tried to an extent, but certainly not the performance they had against USC. They had said that they do their best as an underdog, so it seems as though they let themselves get a little too complacent. I saw a lot from Beasley doing the little things, from passing to rebounding to defending more so than the scoring. Good try. And oh yeah. Clent Stewart and Blake Young are worthless.

Watching the UCLA game, I was surprised to see how much the Bruins get away with. Love does so many moving picks it isn't funny.

But I hate when people say Hansbrough plays with the most heart of any guy in the nation. Of the marquee players, Love plays so much harder. He constantly does everything he can for his team on both sides of the court.

And IMO, that Marquette/Stanford game was the best we've had so far. Even with the last second buzzer beater, it just brought me in more than that WKU/Drake game.

kwilk103 · 03-23-2008, 10:18 AM

alexander doesnt have an attitude problem; hes takin on the personality of his coach, bob huggins; that aggressive, in your face style, with trash talking; wvu's teams will be like that while hes the coach, and i love that style

devinhester=R.O.Y 2006 · 03-23-2008, 10:26 AM

Who ya got in the 12 vs. 13 games today?

I want to see Siena and San Diego win, but I think Villanova may be too strong for the Saints. I think that San Diego has the talent to beat Western Kentucky. The Hilltoppers can't shoot like they did against Drake again.

JagHombre22 · 03-23-2008, 10:56 AM

I like Villanova and San Diego today...

I also want to see Miami beat Texas...but I don't think it will happen...

UCLA has arguably the best road to the final four of any team now...IMO
