Ostensibly Hoops

[innocentbystander]

113 points, 75 of those on three point shots. Tonight? Diddly shit.

[innocentbystander]

This is total bullshit.

Its been a great March Madness, dare I say an outstanding one. But come on Alabama. You play your worst game of the year tonight, this night, of all nights? Is Duke that much better? I mean for fuck's sake, Arizona took the lead vs Duke a few times when then played them. You guys didn't do shit.

I am not pissed off that Duke won, per se. I am pissed off that the so called "experts" will be proven right with their CHALK. We have a real possibility of all 4 number ones getting into the Final Four. And that is just... blah. Boring. Expected. Not the least bit fun or unusual. But the experts will give us this we-told-you-so smug smiles in all the media talk show events.

Did you really think Alafuckingbama was going to beat dook? I hadn't watched a game all year and I knew that

[innocentbystander]

Well I mean if they scored 113 vs BYU, certainly, they could get at least... 90 vs Duke.

They didn't just lose. They didn't do shit.

“Included in the story is a pic of dark guy named John McNeil. It may not be who you're talking about, but he sure fits your description.”

That’s who I was thinking about. I could’ve sworn our buddy who rode the bench on that 84 team told me that Chock was in the picture of them getting their championship rings. He definitely told me the part about being forced to guard him in practice but maybe he was talking about the following year when that happened..

The SEC could repeat what the Big East did back in1985. Have 3 out of 4 in the Final Four

You could've sworn about a thousand things at this point. Your head is swimming with old "Dallas" clips and tawny port. How the fuck do you even know what is real and what isn't?

My sister is tied for 28th in the CBS poll. How the fuck?

That's loser talk...

They just posted an ominous stat on the Houston/Tennessee game: In the entire history of the NCAA tourny, teams trailing by 19 or more at half (which UT was trailing by 19 at the half) are 0-243. Granted, many of those games were probably b/w the 1 and 16 seeds or the 2 and 15 seeds, but still..

Well, I'm the loser in last place in TGP bracket challenge

I picked Houston to win it all. I don't think I was the only one.

[Saint]

aTm did too

[Saint]

So UConn won the last 2 NCAA tournaments? Shit, I don't remember that at all.

[innocentbystander]

All ones

(((yawn)))

[Saint]

Probably will become commonplace going forward. There'll be no more March Madness. Just the highest payrolls.

Most times Carolina has won the National championship the Final Four was all 1 and 2 seeds…

I am in that picture somewhere with my brother

Sampson has to get props, the man builds teams of guys that no one pays attention to

Just think where Indiana would be today had they kept him
