OT: NCAA March Madness

If Syracuse hits some threes, any threes in the first half, they could be leading. As it stands, they're cold from the outside.

Devendorf and Rautins are 1-for-13 combined from the floor in the first half. That's not cold; that's cryogenic.

Take care,

Crocker is unconcious for the Okies. Devo doesn't have much to whoop and trash-talk about tonight for SU.

Flynn is showing some sack, still trying to make things happen despite being hobbled by injury.

Oh, paging Paul Harris. Paging Mr. Paul Harris. Please report to the game.

Ugh.

Take care,
PK

Definitely an off night for the 'Cuse. Playing better in the second half, but when you can't stop OU on offense, it ultimately doesn't matter. I haven't seen OU play this well in a while.

Well, one Big East team won by a blowout. One was blown out. Wish the teams were reversed.

Okie will be a tough out for anyone if it plays as well as tonight. Congrats.

Still, four Big East teams in the Elite Eight. Just wish the 'Cuse could have made it five.

SU should be really good next season. The Orange only loses top reserve Ongenat, as Flynn insists he's returning for his junior season to stay with his high school buddy Paul Harris in his final year at SU.

Take care,
PK

Sucks PK...

I actually had Syracuse going to the final 4... lol My bracket might be officially screwed!

I do have Pitt winning it all though...

Add Wes Johnson to the mix and they should be deadly. Of course, they need Harris to find his game. He really disappeared the past few weeks.

Oh well, Iactually picked Ok to win. So if Mich St can win tonight and UNC holds on, I'll have 7 of the final 8.

Congrats to MSU. Man do I hate Big 10 style of basketball. But I have to give the Spartans credit. Tough loss for KU but the fact that they won it all last year is still fresh in my mind. This one hurts, but they'll be a much better team next year.....if Stephenson signs with KU.

Great season by Mizzou. Nothing to be ashamed about. Coach Andersen did an amazing job this year. Hope he sticks around.

Michigan State over Louisville? Are you kidding me? MSU is not a great team. Decent, but nothing worthy of a Final Four team IMO. How sad.

It looks like it's UNC's Championship to take if they play well.

How exactly is it sad? They blew Louisville out of the building, hard to say they aren't a worthy Final Four team when they do that to the #1 overall seed.

It's simple, Tom Izzo.

The Big Ten is a better conference than the media gives it credit for. Michigan State is consistently one of the best programs in the country. Its not a shame they are in the FF, just show how great a program they really have.

It's his brother, Seth Curry at Liberty, who's transferring. Stephen Curry hasn't decided whether to go into the draft or stay in school for his senior season yet.

I'd be shocked if he entered the draft this year. He just seems so tiny & I can't imagine any team jumping on him too early. Then again, he's probably maxed out what could be accomplished at Davidson - so what could it hurt?

i was out of town this weekend so a belated congrats to Mizzou for whipping my Tiger's butt.

I agree. They were the one exceptional team out of the Big 10. They play excellent defense and can disrupt anyone's offense. I think UConn will win, but Michigan State matches up pretty well against them.

UConn should win but ya never know. I like the way Mich St plays. They definately deserve to be there.
