Cobra Commander Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 if you hate Cincy, you'll really love how 20+ fouls per game West Virginia matches up against Kentucky can't lie, having Kentucky destroy this West Virginia team is kinda amusing. The fouling disguised as defense played by WV deserves to be pounded hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Kentucky destroying WV seems less surprising after the media comments from the last few days. Kentucky is the Brock Lesnar of this field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Well, it's been a nice run for Notre Dame. Yeah, the one saving grace I can pull from WSU's loss is that I don't have to see them get their shit wrecked by Kentucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hey, I got all four games right yesterday on my bracket. No shot at winning my pool though - person ahead of me has pretty much identical picks the rest of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I went with the "Everyone's picking Kentucky, so I need to pick someone other than Kentucky" approach to my bracket this year. best I can finish now is second if Arizona wins out. If Kentucky wins, I probably finish last place and win my money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 With the rowrbazzle going on about Indiana's new "religious freedom law" (cough cough), I'm wondering: do the NCAA and their broadcasters actually have to MENTION where they are? What if they took "Indianapolis" off all the graphics, the court etc and explicitly forbid their announcers from mentioning the state at all? I know it isn't fair to Indy (most of whose commerce organizations seemed to be dead set against SB101), but short of moving the entire show out of town I think it's the best possible solution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I'm sure they could and hope they do. I also hope the B1G and NCAA tournament say adios to Indiana until this bullshit is fixed. Shit, even people at Notre Dame think this is fucked. And I'm stopping there. I don't need my Facebook feed to bleed into this. I'm sure Pete and others see enough already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Grant made some questionable decisions there down the stretch. I hate the Harrison twins.

Jiji Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Grant made some questionable decisions there down the stretch. I hate the Harrison twins. They won't be anything at the next level but they are great to hate on the college level. Probably a combination of fatigue (playing every minute of every game is impressive but fucking dumb) and Kentucky being ridiculously long/good. He forced a three earlier in crunch time and then failed to recognize the double and eventual triple team -> corner trap at the end there. Jackson was all but invisible barring one nice drive and finish (1-7 for the game), which is probably a bigger factor. He looked shook. But the entire ND starting 5 was trending downwards as the fresher Kentucky team was making most of their later shots. That's what you have to expect when UK has that kind of depth vs. basically 5 players (Colson barely played in the 2nd half and Auguste refused to play hard on the block, leading to free and easy inside buckets for UK). Edit: Dewar, my Canadian bruver, TSN is the absolute dog shit in terms of making us sit through back-to-back NCAA tournaments with that fucking Asiago sandwich commercial from Wendy's. Fuck them and fuck that sandwich. These commercials make my head hurt. The same 5 fucking ads the entire tournament. Double edit: I hope Travis Trice becomes this generation's John Starks. Somewhat similar appearance and game. I mostly just miss John Starks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I try to watch as much CBS coverage as I can. I hate that damned Asiago sandwich commercial too, but I can't stop laughing when she's "face deep in a baconator". My mother decided that birthday dinner for my brothers needed to be held while Gonzaga plays Duke today. Need to come up with a plan to get kicked out of the kitchen during dinner, so I can watch the second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 The internet and its infinite distractions has done a lot to ease the pain of commercial repetitiveness. I swear to God though next product that uses Imagine Dragons - Radioactive as their pitch song I'm going to organize a boycott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hmm, what is this ditty you speak of? I have never heard of it. :/ Mangok (forgot the silent "k") hit that big, game winning shot vs. Virginia at the end of the regular season and almost booked the Cardinals' tickets to the state that should not be named. Another fun game. This tournament is the best thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 You know why I love this board? Everywhere else, people are frothing at the mouth at Duke going to the Final 4 yet again. But here, since it was Wrestlemania weekend, nary a peep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
