College Basketball 2010-2011

[2861U2]

Temple beats SD St in R2.

 

[PhilsFan]

I can't tell you guys how pissed I am that Penn State and Temple are playing.

Temple will win, though, so I can root for the Temple over SD State upset. They'll need to keep the ball away from Juan Fernandez to beat SD State, though.

It's going to be different having games on four channels. I'm not even sure I get Tru TV.

 

[PhilsFan]

We doing a bracket pool?

 

[2861U2]

So I totally had a dream last night that Princeton beat Kentucky.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i considered it, and then i went the other way and picked kentucky to the final four. which just goes to prove right there that all tourney picks are complete bullshit.

doesn't someone do it every year?

 

[PhilsFan]

Oh, bracket pools are entirely bullshit. The only year where I actually felt like I earned something by winning was 2007, when it should have been apparent to everyone that Florida was going to win. Free money, that year was.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

no i meant doesn't one interference poster usually set it up every year...

 

[Hewson]

We had in the past, though I think last year it didn't happen.

Then you have idiots like me who pick their school every year so I can be doubly pissed when they lose...

I was referring to your post before that, not the one about someone setting it up.

ahhh...

i think one year i'm going to pick teams based completely on which teams have pretty colors and see if i win.

Too bad Paul the Octopus died.

Too bad Paul the Octopus died.

Yeah but is that cat still alive? The one who was picking bowl games or NFL playoff games or whatever the hell he was picking?

So I totally had a dream last night that Princeton beat Kentucky.

Kentucky had problems with Cornell last year.

Also, on the last play of the Princeton-Harvard play-in game, well over 0.2 seconds elapsed from the time the Princeton player first touched the ball inbounds and the time the clock started. Not that I'm bitter or anything.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Cornell was better than princeton.

If kyrie irving comes back this weekend and is able to be healthy enough to give 6th man type minutes by the 2nd weekend, duke will repeat.

Big time "if," but it is possible

What did you expect when playing the game in New Haven?

 

[mobvok]

Louisville losing is a good bracket warmup for my eventual letdown when Utah State doesn't win the national championship.

Guess that's the flipside of getting the Butler/OD game call right.

 

[bollox]

Just saw Morehead State upset Louisville. Best part: watching it at work.

 

[DRay9911]

Keep the sharp objects away from you know who...

 

[mobvok]

A Kentucky loss mildly disrupts me, but I get the eternal satisfaction of Terrence Jones and Kentucky losing to Princeton.

 

[PhilsFan]

Surprised Penn State even competed with Temple. Glad to see a good game. Go Cats, go Owls.

 

[CTU2fan]

Would have been nice if Princeton pulled that off...Pitino AND Calipari going out in Round 1 (2 my ass) would have been oh so sweet.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Madness...

 

[Hewson]

Looks like the predicted Cinderellas went home (Belmont and Utah State), but a couple others crashed the party...Pitino's run lasted about 15 seconds just like...

Nice.

Apparently Travis Knight wasn't walking through that door.

Also I think Doug Gottlieb picked Bucknell.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Yea I picked belmont and utah state

You are not alone there...tons of folks were convinced those were the 2 double digit seeds that would win at least 1 game, maybe 2.

I think Utah St got screwed a bit with their seed and the matchup...Kansas State has the talent to be a final four team, they just haven't played to their ability all season...I wouldn't be shocked if they won the Southeast.
