March Madness

Wow, there's really a team called the gazongas? Maybe basketball isn't so bad after all. Nahhhhh...... http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

LOL Here's the bottle asis, sorry it's empty (burp)
Thanks, Merele, and Wizz and everyone else. I almost forgot how much fun this was.

Now as For Prof Crash....
Hofstra? <Hofstra? Paleease.

Nice to see the Pac 10 doing well (although I would have liked USC to have lost.
<h2> GO BRUINS</h2>

I had the same thoughts about Gonzaga. Every year they do well in the tournament, but they never get any respect. Go figure.

And Rantarn, Gonzaga is the school name, not their nickname or mascot.

Well, I always pick the 12 seeds to beat the 5 seeds, works well in the pool (grins)

Stanford and Duke had close calls yesterday. As much as I hate to say it, I would not be surprised if MSU lost today. The first half the Spartans played against alabama State on Friday was pathetic. I want the Spartans to win for 2 reasons 1) they are my school 2) Pacific plays Fresno State in ,most sports and I really dislike them.

Queenie, s'ok, Malibu takes better anyway!

Ah well, the Sweet Sixteen is set. I can't believe I am saying this but go UCLA. I would love to see the Dukies knocked out. Norht Carolina's fall to Penn State is not a suprise. North Carolina has been playing weak ball the last month or so and Penn State is a good squad. Not to mention, it has beena while since North Carloina has beaten a team from the Big 10.

QGOP, I know. It was a joke. I loathe everything to do with March Madness so was making light of it in the hopes that it would go away quicker.

OOPS Sorry Rantarn.

Hey on the bright side you can watch the XFL.

LOL Sorry iz but I disagree. Duke played a good game, Williams looked amazing but UCLA played with them. Stanford had some problems with the Bearcats in Cinci as well.

The big difference I see between the One seeds (so far) and the teams they are playing is that the one seeds have a few more really good players, which is why they are the best in the nation. Problem for the lower seeds is that in the last 5 minutes of the game, the UCLA's and Cinci's are too tired to keep up the pace and end up losing. Last night, it was not until the 35th minute that the 1 seeds, Duke and Stanford, where able to really pull away from their opponents.

So what will happen when these teams meet? Who knows, those are going to be fun games.

Yes, MSU manages to get past Gonzaga after a crappy first half. I am not sure how much Temples man zone looks like Gonzagas man zone. If the two are similar, MSU should be in good shape to advance to the Final Four.

Illinois vs Arizona should be interesting. Its like Arizona suddenly remembered how to play basketball. Then again, Illinois was able to beat Kansas with three players fouling out in the last 5 minutes of the game. Read that as Illinois is a really, really deep team.

Duke could lose to USC today. USC has had a good run, they could give Duke some serious trouble. If they are deep enough to stay with Duke in the last 5 minutes of the game then Duke will probably lose. Duke has not pulled away from teams until that last 5 minutes and when they have lost it has been with teams that had enough subs to keep people fresh.

No idea about Stanford vs Maryland. I really don't think either team is as good as they have been hyped. Maryland had a major slump mid season that makes one wonder and Stanford has not played that many teams that play different styles.

Should be an interesting couple of days
