NCAA Fun Fanboy Thread
 

Stanford is being embarrassed by Louisville. The selection committee will take grief over their inclusion.

The other two morning games are good battles. Davidson/MD and BC/TX Tech

Yet Stanford over Louisville was one of the more popular upset picks by the so-called experts.

This is nonsense. If Stanford were doing that to Louisville, would you say that Louisville didn't belong?

I'm hardly a Stanford fan (in fact, quite the opposite), but they had no bad losses and some decent wins. I don't know if they were better than those left out, but they were not exactly a surprise tournament pick, in my view. The committee will take some justified heat, but this isn't one place.

I disagree. Stanford finished in 6th place in the Pac-10 at 10-8 in league and lost their opening round game in the conference tourney. They only had 18 wins on the year and lost 4 of their final 5 games PRIOR to the NCAA game (which makes it 5 of 6).
Also you say no bad losses???
How about 45-75 to Air Force, which did not make the tournament and 46-62 to Santa Clara, another non-tournament team. These weren't close losses.

I agree...put Stanford up against a different team in the field and this probably doesn't happen...Louisville is strong at guard where Stanford is not - they rely on the big guys...L'ville pressured the guards and kept them from getting the ball inside - it's more of a kudos to Pitino and his team than a slam on Stanford.

Jim Burr is working the Wash St. / ORU game.

The officials are wearing the blue circular NCAA patch again this year.

I certainly wish I was required to wear one of those this year LOL :D

UPenn making a HUGE comeback against TX A&M!!!

A&M was just toyin' with 'em.

Wasn't huge enough...Washington State had me worried early, but then turned it up in the second half. And Georgetown looked pretty stinking good...

Georgetown seems to be this year's favorite "non-favorite". It will be interesting to see how far they go.

Morning games? Do they not teach you Hoyas how to tell time? :p

I got to wear one this year. It was pretty cool. Everything was so much more official.

They had too many losses and not enough wins. Put Stanford against the 6 clubs many thought got snubbed and they probably would be 1-5 or 2-4. Nevada said they were 10-8 in conference. How many of those 10 were against the bottom 5 in the league?

He's also an alternate. Whore :)

And to elaborate on those 5 wins, those were actually wins against the bottom 4, since Stanford was in fact the #6 team in the league. Which means they also had 5 wins against the top 5 teams in their league.

EDIT: Compare that to Syracuse, who many people felt should have been in with their 23-9 record including 10-6 in the Big East. Of their 10 conference wins, only 2 of those came against the top 5 teams in the league. The other 8 were against the bottom 9 teams in the league, and they also LOST to 3 of those bottom 9 teams.

Gotta love VCU giving Duke everything they can handle. Best game so far of the evening set

Gotta feel bad for the Michigan State player with the elbow dislocation. Nasty looking.

Don't guess you want to talk about GW do you? They were shellacked by Vandy.

Duke lost. All is right with the world. ;)

Peace

Dear Duke:

HA-HA !!

:D

Especially since Duke lost at the end. That makes any game worth watching!

Not happy right now. Thankfully I won't have to step back on Georgetown's campus for another week or so.

Out here where people are on PST, they were morning games!

PS Is this where I'm supposed to write some remark about GW's performance? :p

I must say that I was thrilled that Duke lost, since I took VCU on the money line at +240 :D

121-86????!!!! Holy cow - Tennessee was runnin and gunnin...reminded me of the old Loyola Marmount teams with Bo Kimble and Hank Gathers...

Every year, I dismiss the SEC when I make my bracket and every year I get burned come game time. Maybe I'll learn something for next year.

Fixed. <iiiii>

Thank you, Mr. Annoying SEC Guy. :D
