I did pick a bracket, but I have no clue how it is doing. I forgot my password, but I think it is something like "whocares".

Because Purdue only had 13 points in the first half?
I went to the chat room twice last nite and was all alone!

I liked last nite b/c of all the upsets. And if you read my earlier postst the "Games To Watch" were actually pretty good!!
I saw the UGA game and I agree with Snaq-a-licious that it sounded more like a sneaker than a whistle. It was the FSU players fault for "giving up on the play"
I agree with NEVADA to a point. While I fully accept that the Women's game is different and not as popular as the men's game its no reason to demean those officials or players. IMO, if you watch it you can comment on some of its quirks (13 points Boilers, Really?) but if you don't watch it what can you really say?
Honestly "I hate women''s basketball" sounds alot like the howler monkeys in the stands saying "Ref, you suck" Or variations on that theme

As a ref who did primarily Women's HS Varsity games this year I certainly watch it on occasion. I poke fun, but I try not to be hurtful. It's a different game.

That being said, the college games remind me a lot of my HS games - have's vs have nots. Only a few really good players/teams out there.

Most of my games were blowouts too. JMO.

Agreed. The good thing is that there are more teams becoming "HAVE's". But again, there are still a lot of "Have nots'" IMO, there seems to be parity in "the middle" but huge outliers on either side. The traditional powers are always tough and when they lose it really is an upset. Then on the bottom end of the scale......well........... But in the middle, you see a lot of teams that have equal talent and ability. IMO, that level of play is increasing which is a good thing and will, eventually, catch them up with the "Have's"
SATURDAY'S Games To Watch

Gonzaga v Louisville
Stanford v UNC - I just have a gut feeling on this one

SUNDAY'S
Georgia v Texas A M
