NCAA tournament

With Duke out i'll pull for the ACC teams still left, even UNC, well till the finals that is. And i will still pull for them if they play Kentucky, everyone else though and i hope they get beat. Go Wolfpack and FSU.

Baylor is killing me with those jerseys. Turn them down.

I think it's their plan - distact the opposition with neon jerseys, drive right past them
IU advances! Man VCU's defense is awesome! They don't stop. They'll be the next Gonzaga - team to rise from nowhere to perineal power. Great coach - really motivates his players.
Next up for IU - rematch with Kentucky. I don't see IU pullin' it off twice, but still a great season. College basketball is better when IU is relevant.

It's going to be another fun day in the tourney. There are a couple of games between lower seeds, and I think the G'town / NC State game could be close. Also, there are 2 Ohio schools playing today - Go Ohio & Go Cinci! I'd love to see Ohio St / Cinci next week.

Buckeyes advance! Nice effort by Gonzaga; Bucks were fortunate today.

I think most people dislike Duke, not because of Coach K (a class act) or the players themselves (excellent student athletes), but because the institution as a whole comes off very elitist. It's the whole preppy rich popular kids vs. the average kids in high school thing. Wishing serious bodily harm on them is totally ignorant and sad however.

Combine that with the idea that they win all the time and they become an easy target. Can't say I'm a Duke fan at all, but have a tremendous amount of respect for Coach K and his basketball program.

My team is Kansas, and I'm sure there are many out there that don't like them either. Many of the top programs catch a lot of flack. People get tired of the same teams winning all the time......

Mike Kryzyzewski will go down as the best coach in college basketball history. He is total class. He has the basketball smarts of Bobby Knight without the anger issues. His players learn how to handle themselves in life, not just basketball. I admire him very much.


I will finish by saying....... Go IU Hoosiers!

If i wasn't a fan, i would hate Duke for those reasons. Very well said. It does bother me though when someone talks bad about coach K. Even in a very bad loss and an equally bad season he didn't say one negative about his players.

I have no problem with people simply pulling for Duke to lose. I pull for every top seed other than them to get beat. I loved it when Missouri lost. Not so much with Duke though..lol

Every school scumlipari has coached at has suffered some sort of sanctions yet that piece of garbage just moves on to another school and never pays any price himself. It makes me sick when i hear him mentioned as a great coach.

Went to the NC State / San Diego State game today. Fun, but no beer for sale in the arena. NC State was clearly the better team; not sure why SD State was seeded do much higher.

I watched the Georgetown / Belmont warmups, & decided that G'town would roll, so I left. Good call. Came home & sat on the patio with beer, grill & TV. Ahh .

Liked seeing Ohio U beat Mich; hope Brady Hoke was watching. Hey, Brady - Ohio State is the team that knocked Michigan out of the Big 10 tourney. Ohio is the team that knocked Michigan out of the NCAA tourney. Questions?

Nothing against Duke or Mizzou, but the two 15/2 upsets were great theater. I still have KY beating NC in the final.

That's kinda why I liked Crumb. We was always an Indiana rival(they played almost every year) but he was never, ever under NCAA scrutiny or investigated. He did things the right way, win or lose. His methodology might be different that most, but he got results form his players a high percentage of the time.

I can remember the very moment when Crum first started thinking about retirement. It's when he was interviewed on 60 Minutes, basically speaking out of lockstep with the Athletic Director at the time, Schumaker. And it all had to do with the grades some of his players were making and how that should impact their ability to be recruited or play ball. Crum really got his back up about that and from that point forward he never gave the game the same love he always did. I think he retired four years after that. I loved that guy though. A great coach and tremendous person.

Oh I totally understand Mark. Calipari has a very shady history, so I'm not a fan of his at all. Winning or not, it's how you play the game that matters to me.

It's totally out of respect Tom. Although i think Kentucky's current coach is a scumbag. I honestly can't say how i really feel about him cause i might get banned. I was looking forward to a possible rematch. I think the throw and shot is the greatest the game has ever seen. That game was amazing. At least the right team won... wow another 12 seed just won.
