The Goat Pen

Just saw this in wikipedia:

"Several teams played in both the NIT and NCAA tournaments in the same year, with Colorado and Duquesne being the first to do so in 1940. Colorado won the NIT in 1940 but subsequently finished fourth in the NCAA West Region. In 1944, Utah lost its first game in the NIT but then proceeded to win the NCAA Tournament. In 1949, eventual NCAA champion Kentucky suffered elimination in the NIT before going on to win the NCAA."

from Grantland

Without Kentucky, is there any way Coach K announces that Jahlil Okafor is a one-and-done player in November? That’s the same coach who lectured William Avery’s mom that her son was “going to fuck my program” if he left early for the NBA.

That was like 20 years ago...

On another note, I hope nobody had Iowa State going very far, they gone. Thankfully, I had them losing in the next round to SMU. But considering that I have UNC beating Duke for the national championship, I don't think my call on Iowa State is going to save my bracket...

Elite 8. Those fuckers.

UAB!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought their program was going to be defunded? Or was that just football?

To be fair, Coach K got on the 1-and-done bandwagon before Calipari even came to Kentucky. He never complained about Kyrie Irving.

UAB=NCAA darling

'Bama=playing in the NIT and looking for a coach

Hope the trustees are happy.

I gotta check my brackets. I think I was big on Iowa St

GAWWWWDAMMIT

I did pick Georgia St over Baylor though

Kevin Ware and Ryan Harrow on a mission from being spurned

If the SEC does well other than UK and all these Big 12 teams that were supposedly so great continue to shit the bed even though the whole conference made it, Im gonna be kinda pissed.

I should have known to never trust Iowa State and Baylor when they are highly seeded. Fuck them and anyone that looks like them.

What time should BRM and I get there??

Well, I don't think so, but I am sure the Golden Corral will have one if you choose to stop by there on the way to the country club...

I think I want to kill a ref that was the worse call I have ever ever seen in the SMU game, hwo the fuck do you make that call unless your a spineless pice of shit ref that never played a sport in his life

Harrow did not even play hope he can play Saturday

The refs must love UCLA. Still remember this no call.

Probably SEC refs.

Looked like goaltending to me and everyone else as well. Goldie is a dumbass.

Just football. And rightfully so.
