NCAA 2015: The Thread

[49r]

He'll have to vacate this one too, jimmy.

Calipari seems to be getting better with age and success. I, for one, am glad John Chaney did not kill him when he had the opportunity.

 

Now, THAT was an epic post-game presser! lol

Classics:

Wisconsin WINS! 85 - 78! (Second year in a row) Exciting finish! Dekker, Gasser, Kaminsky were deadly, especially with the treys!

[Huskerpapa]

Wisconsin's shooting performance in the 2nd half was awesome.

Dear Jesus:

 

I'm rooting for Notre Dame. Help me.

 

Sincerely,

ND is playing great...you keep waiting for Kentucky to start a run...but so far the Fighting Irish have answered every run.

Whenever Towns gets the ball, I'd send all 5 guys to him.  You can't go one on one with him.  At least send a double down.

This is how I would defend him

[hskr4life]

that game though!

[brfrad]

Mike Brey is a good coach, but those last 3 possessions by Notre Dame were awful.  Actually, the last 4 possessions were awful (bailed out by a long 3 from Grant).  Dribbled the ball at half court, led to an off balance 3 by Grant.  Next possession, dribbled the ball at half court, blocked Grant's shot, led to a shot clock violation.  Final possession, tried an off balance 3 from the corner.  Needed to run offense down the stretch (outside of the final possession)

Kentucky playing Notre Dame 100 times might lose once. Unfortunately last night was the one time and ND choked down the stretch. i do not anticipate any more close calls.

Kind of what I said.  I told the guys I was watching it with that that was the one Kentucky eye opener game.  They won't want it that close again.  Its too bad too because ND was in prime position to win that sucker.

[Red Don]

Michigan State - 32, Louisville - 40 @ Halftime. Izzo's in a Dogfight!

(What kind of Dome is that in Syracuse anyway?)

[Red Don]

Michigan State fights back to even it up @ 51 all with 8:57 left in the game! Go Izzo!

(but Valentine in foul trouble with 3 personals)

What A Great Defensive Game!

[Red Don]

MSU leads 57-51 @ 7:00

[Red Don]

Holy Moly! What a Game 63-62, MSU with 1:25 left!

[Red Don]

MSU - 'Ville in OT!

[Red Don]

Holy Moly!  MSU WINS IT!  76-70

(How Cool Would a B1G Final Be! )

[Red Don]

Zags coming back for their first lead since early in the game 35-34 @ 16:45

[Red Don]

Duke wins over the Zags:   66-52

Final Four:
 
Wisconsin / Kentucky

Michigan State / Duke

[Huskerpapa]

Man the Big Ten must suck...only two teams in the Final Four.  The shame!

 

[colhusker]

I am happy that I can report CH has all four of the final four teams left in his bracket!

[jimmykc]

Three are number one seeds though. Congratulations for not overthinking like I did since I only managed to get Sparty and Kentucky right.

Jimmy I have to say I didn't look at Seeds for the most part.  Looked at match ups and who was hot now (stupid ISU).
