Yeah, it is great. I just have to restrain myself from getting too hype at work. I love the "boss button". I missed the game winner against Iowa. Anyplace to go catch it?
they are going to put up a "highlights" or "game winner" button next to the game on the sportsline mmod in an hour or something so you can catch the game winners and the highlights of all the games that have gone final there
it may sound crazy, but UConn was LUCKY to win that game. they had to pull off a 25 point turnaround the last 10 minutes or so to win. albany was so close....and even though it would have ruined brackets across america, including mine, i was rooting for albany.
I was at this game today. If UConn's PG hadn't caught fire from 3, they lose that game. Plain and simple. he saved their ass -- no other Husky was stepping up. We were sitting right behind the UConn section. It was hysterical watching them while Albany was up 12.
If anyone's watching this game, Duke's payed off the refs. Yeah, George Washington is committing some horrible mistakes, but theses refs suck. They're calling ticky tack fouls on George Washington, and nothing on Duke.
My favorite was the Sheldon Williams three point play when the GW's chest had the audacity to get in the way of Williams' elbow. Then the announcer after that last block, "there was definitely contact, but good no call". Ugh.
It's just funny. Every replay they show, someone from GW is fighting through Duke's pushes and shoves to drive the lane. Every "block" Duke has, they hit the hand/arm of GW. Every time Duke gets fouled and they show a replay, I'm wondering where the foul is. I just want GW to win because this game is like a bunch of Rich, Snotty kids playing some blue collar playground kids, or something like that.
Florida is seriously fun to watch when they're playing well. Joakim Noah is a stud. Kind of regretting my Wisc-Milw pick now. Good article on him here: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2004-03-22-noah-basketball_x.htm His mom is a former Miss Sweden, his dad won the French Open in '83 & is now a reggae star in France. Google pics of Yannick Noah's current wife, you won't be sorry.
You too? A UF choke is usually money in the bank, and Wisc-Milw can play. I felt really good about that pick. Oh, well!
I've heard a lot of buzz on this kid lately. Can he play PF? Do you think he would fit in next to Yao?
