Lost my first Sweet 16 team. Thanks a lot, Bob Huggins.

Clemson killed me
at least I only had them in the Elite 8. Oh, wait…

they played like obama bowls! Oh, but, I’m sure he didn’t mean it.

actually
doing better than most years. lost 1 game yesterday (illinois) and WV today. Pulling for my sooners but only picked them to win 2. I’d happily risk my bracket for a championship but they are going to have to have some guards step up eventually.

you had Illinois?
Shoulda consulted a Big Ten viewer. That one was a 5-12 special to the bank.

Well there’s 9:27 in the first half of their game left but I’m pretty sure Wake Forest is going to be my first elite 8 drop.

Maryland almost beat them twice as well
Otherwise this was a boring night, and even though it’s a tradition, I regret staying in.
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver
Well they beat them in the tournament
And barely lost late in the season.

Double OT
Go triple and the night may be saved.

Proof that common sense isn't taught in Venezuela
Later in the locker room before a huddle of reporters, Vasquez added, "If they (Memphis) played in the ACC, they’d have a losing record in the league. They’d win all their games outside the league.
He is beyond idiotic.

you mean...
beyond idiotic for saying that in front of reporters? i mean, i think the sentiment is spot on.

You know Memphis is going to see that
So why fire up a team unnecessarily?

why not?
Does Memphis getting “fired up” really concern anyone? Does anyone expect them to not come out and play really hard? Are they going to shoot their three-pointers extra hard now? Memphis would’ve finished sixth in the Big East. The ACC is overrated, though. So yeah he’s a little doofy.

Calipari is an exceptional motivator
And he’ll most definitely pass this Antonio Anderson, who is a very, very good defender. Basketball differs from baseball as there is never a time when a batter goes up to the plate and is looking to make an out as numbers are too important. I believe that in basketball, and especially football, extra motivation does make players play harder during the not so important times in games.
Obviously guys are going to go all out immediately after tipoff and in the final 10-12 minutes, but it’s hard to stay amped with eight minutes to go in the first half; having a reason to spite a guy and prove yourself makes you push harder.
I just don’t like Vasquez. Apparently he’s a huge smart-ass on campus to professors, and if your not annoyed enough by his regular taunting of opposing fans, he has actually told Terp fans to STFU in Comcast.

Well I don’t like Vasquez either because he seems like a douchebag, so we’re together there.

As a MD fan...
he’s like our own personal Bobby Hurley. Everyone else hates him, but he’s MY asshole, so MD fans love him. Kinda like what Ovechkin’s developing into with the Caps. If he played for any other team, that goal stick nonsense the other night would have been infuriating. But Ovechkin does it? That’s just Red Jesus being Red Jesus.

I guess
But Ovechkin could easily reach all-time great status, while Vasquez will be a decent collegiate player on a few bad Maryland teams, which suffice to say, is easily to forget

They're gonna lose by 15 anyway!
Why not say it?

I don't mind Vasquez at all.
Frankly, if you’re not going to have a Juan Dixon, head-down, workman-like approach, I’d much rather have the Greivis Vasquez we’ve seen since the regular season ended. When he gets quiet, things don’t go so well. When he’s feeling it & talking, he tends to back it all up on the court. So, for me, the more I hear from him the better I feel about how he’s going to do – and this team lives or dies by Vasquez’ performance.

Good work, ACC
Assuming the Terps lose tomorrow, I believe UNC will be the last team standing.

when’s the last time THAT happened?

I had WKY and Arizona. I also picked N Iowa over Purdue but that didn’t happen. So I had the three part right, just the wrong three.
