Kansas is scaring the poop out of me

[Pistons < Spurs]

down 10 with just over 11 minutes to go.

Better get after it. So far Aldrich is the only one playing well. Collins is not having a very good performance at all.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Seems like no one besides Aldrich is playing with any sense of urgency on Kansas.

[Cry Havoc]

This game is incredible. Other than one or two early shots, Northern Iowa is playing literally perfect basketball. They are absolutely perfect right now. They're getting dribble penetration into the lane, spreading the floor, shooting well, and attacking. Their defense has been amazing.

It's a testament to how good Kansas is that this game isn't 16-20 points right now.

[Cry Havoc]

Oh my, Aldrich is hurt.

[Pistons < Spurs]

shit. Aldrich is hurt.

[Cry Havoc]

7 point game. This is huge. If NI can get the lead back out to 10-12 points, I think they're going to take it.

If it stays at 6-8 points, it will be a nailbiter down the stretch.

If Kansas gets close, they're going to take it.

[Flintstones32]

doesn't look like he's in too much pain. should be ok I would think.

If he gets back in there, have to force feed him. he scores almost at will when he gets position.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Xavier and Marcus Morris needs to carry Kansas the rest of the way. Morris's early foul trouble really hurt them. But hopefully now he'll be able to get something going.

Please .... win this game!!!!!

[Cry Havoc]

If Northern Iowa, ODU, and Washington win, we'd be looking at the most busted brackets in tournament history.

[Pistons < Spurs]

And if Collin's isn't hitting his shots, I want Tyshawn Taylor initiating more of the offense.

[Cry Havoc]

5 point game. The chalk is really looking tough.

[CubanMustGo]

Down to 5, KU's gonna do it.

[Pistons < Spurs]

OMG... they keep hitting tough shots

[Cry Havoc]

Wow, you gotta admire NI's defense.

[Cry Havoc]

Wow, some really crazy non-calls on that possession.

[Cry Havoc]

NI needs to hit a 3.

[Pistons < Spurs]

3pt game!! phew ... keep it going

[Cry Havoc]

THERE IT IS!!!!

Oh my!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

ni needs to hit a 3.

damn you!

[Cry Havoc]

This is starting to look like a huge upset in the making.


Where would this rank all-time?

[Pistons < Spurs]

Collins need to sit his ass down. Today is not his day.

[Cry Havoc]

Btw, New Mexico is getting killed by Washington. And ODU is down 1 to Baylor.

[himat]

This game keeps getting more interesting.

[Cry Havoc]

BAD timeout by Northern Iowa. That could be a huge mistake.

[himat]

BAD timeout by Northern Iowa. That could be a huge mistake.

Good point.

[Pistons < Spurs]

5pts

3 minutes

[Pistons < Spurs]

3

[CubanMustGo]

As long as Ali Farokhmanesh keeps shooting (and missing, 3-9 now) threes, there's hope for KU.

[Pistons < Spurs]

ANOTHER steal!!!!!

[Cry Havoc]

Kansas taking control late.

[himat]

Shooting themselves in the foot right now.

[himat]

Huge missed free throw!

[Flintstones32]

kansas should be ok now. NI losing it. This game might be good for KU in the long run.

[himat]

Offensive rebound. Kansas is in big trouble right now.

[Pistons < Spurs]

we need Aldrich in there

[Cry Havoc]

HUGE CHARGE CALL!

My goodness!

[himat]

Collins offensive foul. He is struggling today. Very unfortunate for him.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Collins is absolutely killing Kansas today. 5to's 4-14 shooting (0-5 from 3)

[Pistons < Spurs]

Are you kidding me???? rebound the fucking ball.

[Cry Havoc]

NIU by 7 with 1:07 to play!

[himat]

Big time offensive board.

[himat]

Kansas needs to bring some full court pressure.

[Pistons < Spurs]

smart Xavier

[himat]

Kansas is only in this game because NIU can't inbound.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Kansas game not being showed for shit here

wtf is going on over there

[himat]

Good pass by Collins.

[Cry Havoc]

Horribly late call there. "Wait and see" indeed.

[Pistons < Spurs]

53 seconds to go

Kansas down 3


NI ball

[Pistons < Spurs]

Yes!!! out of bounds!!

Kansas ball!

[Cry Havoc]

Wow, totally bumped him out of bounds, no foul?

[himat]

Oh no! NIU is killing themselves right now. This is Kansas's game to lose now.

[himat]

Wow Sherron Collins!

[Pistons < Spurs]

down 1

42 seconds to go


NI ball

[Cry Havoc]

Refs letting Kansas be as physical as they want with the press with no whistles. Come on now.

[himat]

P<S thats why you keep Sherron in the game. Yeah he's sucking but he's the leader of the team IMO.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Refs letting Kansas be as physical as they want with the press with no whistles. Come on now.


Yeah no kidding. Morris basically body checked him out of bounds and no foul called.

[himat]

Come on Northern Iowa. Come on.

[himat]

WTF a 3???? Now way. That guy has balls.

[Cry Havoc]

HUGE THREE!

THis is unreal!


CHARGE!!!!

KANSAS IS GOING DOWN!!!!!

[CubanMustGo]

OMFG. The dude that took that three for NI has nuts the size of grapefruit.

[Pistons < Spurs]

that's game.

goddammitsonofabitch

Great great game by NI. The played terrific.

I can't believe my boy's are going to be out of it like this.

[himat]

HUGE THREE!

THis is unreal!


CHARGE!!!!

KANSAS IS GOING DOWN!!!!!

That guy has some balls man. If he would have missed that he wouldn't here the end of it. High risk high reward.

[Cry Havoc]

that's game.

goddammitsonofabitch

Great great game by NI. The played terrific.

I can't believe my boy's are going to be out of it like this.

Not quite over yet.

Crazy things happen in the tourney.

[himat]

Its not over. Not the way Northern Iowa inbounds the ball.

[Pistons < Spurs]

P<S thats why you keep Sherron in the game. Yeah he's sucking but he's the leader of the team IMO.

he's made a play here and there, but he pretty much single handidly lost this game for us.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Congrats Northern Iowa:toast

[himat]

Kansas is probably going to lose. Even if NIU turns it over again they have to hit a three.

[Cry Havoc]

Unreal.

[Cry Havoc]

Hahahaha, FUCK you Bill Self.

That's what you get for bailing on the Illini.

[Cry Havoc]

It's all over!!!!!

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Props to Northern Iowa. Feel really bad for Kansas. That helps my bracket a lot but I feel for those players.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

my brackets are officially worthless
both had ku winning it all


i guess theres nothing left to say but

"lol kansas"

[Pistons < Spurs]

:depressed:depressed:depressed

I think I'm going to cry.

[CubanMustGo]

Big 12 not looking so good all of a sudden ... tho it looks like Baylor's about to win, up 7 with 25 seconds to go.

[Bukefal]

wow, Northern Iowa. Jeezzz. There goes my bracket :wow

[himat]

I like upsets but I'm a big Sherron Collins fan too. Sucks either way.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

:depressed:depressed:depressed

I think I'm going to cry.

why? you still have the Pistons :lol

[Cry Havoc]

wow, Northern Iowa. Jeezzz. There goes my bracket :wow

Kansas, Georgetown, Villanova, and New Mexico all lose.

No one's bracket is worth anything any longer.

[himat]

Michigan State has a good chance to make the Final Four again. If they beat Maryland they face this Northern Iowa team.

[Flintstones32]

had kansas losing next round so helps me with almost everyone in our pool picking kansas. Helps MSU also if they can get by maryland. :lol

[CubanMustGo]

Kansas, Georgetown, Villanova, and New Mexico all lose.

No one's bracket is worth anything any longer.

Plus Villanova. :lol

[himat]

Plus Villanova. :lol

I didn't make a bracket this year, but surprisingly, a lot of people I know had them losing early.

[Bukefal]

Kansas, Georgetown, Villanova, and New Mexico all lose.

No one's bracket is worth anything any longer.

haha yeah, all the upsets.
:depressed

[JamStone]

Uh did you watch this game? What makes you think State can beat Northern Iowa if they even get passed Maryland? State didn't even look good last night.

[Flintstones32]

Uh did you watch this game? What makes you think State can beat Northern Iowa?State didn't even look good last night.

survive and move on. all that matters. this year should show us that anyone can beat anybody. who knows what will happen. last game means shit.

[lebomb]

Im fucked!!! Had Kansas winning it all.

I bet a team noone expected to win it all will take it this year. There are a lot of great mid-major teams.

[himat]

Uh did you watch this game? What makes you think State can beat Northern Iowa if they even get passed Maryland? State didn't even look good last night.

Yes I did watch this game buddy. Yeah Northern Iowa played well, but I'll be really surprised if they make it to the Elite Eight. At the end of the day they are not as talented as the next team they will face (State of Maryland).

And Maryland will be tough, but Maryland isn't that spectacular. I'm not saying that State will make the Final Four, but Kansas's elimination makes things a lot easier.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Uh did you watch this game? What makes you think State can beat Northern Iowa if they even get passed Maryland? State didn't even look good last night.


Completely agree about Northern Iowa. They're not a fluke team, they do a lot of things well. With that said, assuming MSU beats Maryland, I know they'd much rather play Northern Iowa than Kansas.

[JamStone]

survive and move on. all that matters. this year should show us that anyone can beat anybody. who knows what will happen. last game means shit.

Which is why I wouldn't say any team at this point has a "good chance" at making the final four. Certainly not State.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Kentucky's tournament to win now. Far and away more talented and complete than anyone else.

[Flintstones32]

Which is why I wouldn't say any team at this point has a "good chance" at making the final four. Certainly not State.

no, you're right. I don't think anyone has a "good chance" at even winning their next game, but just because a team played bad last game is not going to determine what they do in their next game either.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Man I'm so freakin disappointed.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

What's funny about this game is how much the Cook brothers out played the Morris brothers.



EDIT: I'm retarded. The morris brothers played well. Collins just sucks.

[himat]

Man I'm so freakin disappointed.

Sorry man. In the NCAA you always have to have a secondary team or else you will be disappointed a lot. :lol

Anybody else you root for?

[samikeyp]

I don't know if MSU has a "good chance" or not but with KU out, their chances just got better. They have to get past a good Maryland team though. Then again, the way UNI is playing, who the hell knows? :)

[lebomb]

Kentucky's tournament to win now. Far and away more talented and complete than anyone else.


Whatever............I almost saw a huge upset with Missippi State in the finals of the SEC tourney. I saw a lot of holes in Kentuckys game. It was just the fact that Miss St. could not hit free throws at the end that Kentucky lucked out and won in OT. That game should have been over. Kentucky is just as vulnerable as any team out there. Hell they only beat SHSU by 10...........102-92. :rolleyes

[Cry Havoc]

Washington looks absolutely ridiculous right now.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

OK so you're basing this off two games they won.....good job. Bitter about picking Kansas. lol UTSA.

Yep. I'm rooting for Wall and Kentucky but they are very vulnerable. At the end of the day John Wall can't hit the jumper consistently yet, so that will be a problem every round for them. In that game you are talking about, Kentucky got lucky that Wall's airball landed right into Cousins' hands.

[samikeyp]

Washington looks absolutely ridiculous right now.

+1 They are looking damn good.

[himat]

Washington is peaking at the perfect time.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Sorry man. In the NCAA you always have to have a secondary team or else you will be disappointed a lot. :lol

Anybody else you root for?

Nah, not really. I mostly root for players I like after my team is out. I may be pulling a bit for K State now, but only mildly.

Now I can just enjoy the tourney itself.

I'm looking forward to seeing Aminu (Wake Forest) Cousins (Kentucky) Turner (Ohio State) Favors (G Tech) JP Prince (Tay's cousin) (Tennessee) and Ebanks (W Virginia) play.

[Jimcs50]

Michigan State has a good chance to make the Final Four again. If they beat Maryland they face this Northern Iowa team.

Not going to happen. My Terps are playing great bball right now and I am thinking they have great shot of making Final 4 now that the monster is out.

[himat]

I'm not a big Cousins fan though. Supposedly he has a lot of character issues.

[himat]

Not going to happen. My Terps are playing great bball right now and I am thinking they have great shot of making Final 4 now that the monster is out.

Either way both teams have a better chance now. The powerhouse is eliminated.

Kentucky v Wake Forest

Both? How much would you win?

fuckin Kansas should be ashamed... terrible loss... I'm still shocked

[ShoogarBear]

Well, on the bright side you should be poop-free now.

My champions were Georgetown and Kansas.

I picked Kansas in my ESPN bracket and my bracket here at my clubhouse which cost me $10.

The sad thing is, I tried to be a non homer for the first time ever. I picked Kansas to beat Maryland in Sweet 16 (my other team besides A&M):p:

I never pick against my teams, the one time I do, I shouldnt have.

:lol

[samikeyp]

+1 :toast

A new generation of K-State fans was concieved tonight. :)

[K-State Spur]

Is true. For 20 years, all Cat fans have had in March is the (usual, but not always) KU earlier than expected exit.

This year, we got that and our own team advancing to the Sweet 16. On the same night at the same location no less. Oh blessed night.

[Whisky Dog]

Damn Kansas that has to hurt. I knew going into the tourney my team had turned into choking piles of shit, but KU fan had to feel gut punched over this one.

[Evil Angel]

Here's my bracket...
