Memphis trying to impose its fast-paced game on UCLA so far

17-12

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

go memphis

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

no vbookie huh

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

klove is great

[Warlord23]

UCLA is well-coached but Memphis is way too athletic for them

[Herschel Walker]

Rose is a stud as a scoring PG. If he continues getting better as a playmaker he could be Derron Williams-like in the NBA.

[Herschel Walker]

Im hoping for a Kansas - Memphis final. That would be one hell of an athletic matchup.

[ShoogarBear]

I think it's a good sign for UCLA they're only down 3.

[Warlord23]

I think the better sign is the refs rooting hard for UCLA. They're calling ticky-tack NBA type fouls on whoever is guarding Love.

[Pistons < Spurs]

ohh nice......all up in Love's grill!

[Pistons < Spurs]

way to go Memphis!!!! this one's over!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

ucla fallin apart

[Warlord23]

^^And it wouldn't have been close if the refs hadn't blwon some questionable whistles off the ball vs Dorsey/Taggart. The difference in athletic ability is stark.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Now hopefully my Jayhawks don't let me down.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

U.C.L.A.:

U
Clowns
Lost
AGAIN!!!!

:lmao

[lebomb]

Im half way there.....I picked Memphis and NC....with Memphis as the champs!!! :toast

[lebomb]

UCLA is well-coached but Memphis is way too athletic for them


X2gabillion.........you my friend are the man!!!!! :clap

[Pistons < Spurs]

Kansas is gonna kill em'!!!!!

[lebomb]

Kansas is gonna kill em'!!!!!


With WHAT??? LOL..........Texas and Kansas were neck and neck.....Memphis mopped the floor with UT. LMAO....... :lol :lol :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Billy Packer is an idiot.

"Carolina has numbers!" . . . as they come down on a 2-on-3 break.

[Pistons < Spurs]

With WHAT??? LOL..........Texas and Kansas were neck and neck.....Memphis mopped the floor with UT. LMAO....... :lol :lol :lol
ummm yeah, my comment was on the game that's actually being played right now.

But I do believe that Kansas would beat Memphis.

[Pistons < Spurs]

:clap Rock Chalk Jayhawk :clap :clap

[Pistons < Spurs]

:elephant :elephant

[SAtown]

Not looking so good for UNC. They look completely lost on offense.

[Warlord23]

Again, the difference in speed is the key ... Jayhawks have too much depth and athletic ability for UNC

[Warlord23]

Well, this is the only hope for UNC ... pray that the refs start sending UNC to the FT line

[Pistons < Spurs]

I love it!!!! Fuck UNC!!!!

[Slinkyman]

Rush is outscoring UNC by himself 15-12

[SAtown]

I don't watch much College ball, but damn is it more physical than the NBA. If an NBA player got fouled like Hansbrough just did, Van Gundy would be hanging onto somebody's leg.

[jochhejaam]

A 23-2 run for Kansas? Unbelievable!

[Warlord23]

UNC and UCLA are media darlings who've been overrated all season long, especially UCLA. Watching ESPN, you'd think that Kevin Love and Tyler Hansborough were the second coming of Alcindor and Walton. It was obvious from the get-go that Kansas and Memphis had the speed and size edge, especially in the backcourt. You don't beat that much of an advantage by good coaching, no matter how good a coach you are

[Slinkyman]

this aldrich kid is pretty damn good for a freshman who doesn't get to play much

[Warlord23]

Charge on one end, block on the other ... the refs are doing their best but this one won't be close

[Slinkyman]

anyone else think Brandon Rush looks like Terrence Howard?

Hansbrough's a solid player, but how does someone that's picked to go in the low 20's in the NBA Draft get the Player of the Year Award?

Oh yeah, media darlings

[Slinkyman]

hansbrough flops more then any other athlete in all sports, nba, ncaa, soccer... he's the best there is.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Played alot of stupid ball there at the end of the half, but I'll take the 17 point lead!!!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

ROFL
Serves those overrated stiffs Tyler Hansborough and Kevin Love right.

[Pistons < Spurs]

C'mon now Kansas ... get it together....

[jochhejaam]

A 32-14 run for NC, heck of a comeback

[angel_luv]

This UNC/Kansas game is good stuff!

[angel_luv]

I am loving this game!

[Warlord23]

This has the makings of an epic Bill Self choke job ... they are making every mistake in the book - turnovers, long-distance bricks and tentative defense

[Deimosfobos]

incredible comeback... I though the game was over...

[ShoogarBear]

Billy Packer = Sean Elliott

[angel_luv]

That was some Spurs worthy defense right there! Beautiful!

[SAtown]

Billy Packer = Sean Elliott

Yeah I heard what he said earlier as well. Man would he look like an idiot on national tv...

[Pistons < Spurs]

Billy Packer = Sean Elliott
:tu

[Pistons < Spurs]

Sasha Kaun!!!!!

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

dayum

[angel_luv]

That was a nice play by Kansas.

But we'll get you, my pretty!

[Pistons < Spurs]

wow....nice shot by ellington

[Warlord23]

UNC making some tough tough shots ... but at least Kansas seems to have found their nads again

[Pistons < Spurs]

:clap Rock Chalk Jayhawk :clap

[angel_luv]

I so want UNC to win.

I started watching in the second half and picked them too root for because they are the underdog, at least score wise.

Also, all the people that I have known from Kansas have been mean.

UNC have been the underdog as much as the 2004 Lakers, 2005 USC Trojans, or last year's Patriots were. The national media has drooled all over this team throughout the tourney

[HighLowLobForBig-50]

:lol

[ShoogarBear]

Okay, looks like UNC has shot their wad.

[Mr Dio]

Im hoping for a Kansas - Memphis final. That would be one hell of an athletic matchup.


That Final Game match-up was guaranteed when a certain someone guaranteed the Bruins meet the 'Heels in the finale. :lol

[angel_luv]

Boo! I jinxed UNC. :(

[Pistons < Spurs]

23pts for Rush!!!!!!

[angel_luv]

:nope


Are you from Kansas?

Tell me if you are because I would love to know that there is at least one fantastic person from that state.

If Kansas wins, I am rooting for Memphis since my family is from there.

Not from there...but lived there during my high school years.

Hopefully I'll move back there someday.

[Pistons < Spurs]

My team's in the FINALS!!!!!!

And my bracket is still alive!!!

Go Jayhawks!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

For days I've had to listen to all the hype about Hansborough and Love. Screw them both!!!!

This Finals should be a fun uptempo game.

[Warlord23]

The championship game should be fun. The 2 most athletic teams in the fray going at it. I have Kansas over Memphis, but the only concern for Kansas is the way they lost composure early in the 2nd half. Memphis looks like it has no weaknesses

[MajorMike]

umm...yes. The Lopez twins are going to abuse Texas.


You got the wrong two teams dog! It's going to be UCLA over UNC for the title!


The B12 has proven to be better than I thought. Even so, there is no way that UCLA and UNC don't meet in the championship. UCLA has the perimeter size to deal with Memphis' guards. And Memphis has no answer for Kevin Love.

Carolina is just more talented than KU. Game over.


And the hits just keep on coming...

[FromWayDowntown]

R.C. Buford's kid might get a ring, too.

[Warlord23]

We need a separate forum to keep track of all the times Tlong talks out of his ass :lol

Well my impression of the people of Kansas has improved. ;)

[Whisky Dog]

This game is truly a pick 'em. I have no idea who's gonna win this one, it's a great, even matchup. I've thought for a long time that KU was the best team in the country, but that was when I was seriously underestimating Memphis. That Memphis team is a bad, bad machine with the way they're playing right now. They're dogging damn good teams as if they were playing a MAC schedule in the tourney. That said, KU matches up very well. The only problem I see is Chalmers being undersized to handle Rose or Douglas-Roberts, but Memphis will have their hands full with Rush as well. I'd take Arthur over Dorsey and Kahn/Aldrich over Taggert/Dozier so I'll give the edge to KU, but Rose and CDR can take over games as well. I just hope the game lives up to the matchup potential.
