NCAA Tourney Running Thread

dont blame that on billy speights leaving calathes being a douche oh yea and all the starters leaving at the sametime after the back 2 back lol

My bad. Let me pull an LG and flip the numbers my own way then. From 2001-2010, out of 8 tournaments made, florida only made it out of the second round twice. During those exits were a 21 point loss to Temple, 22 point loss to Michigan State, 15 point loss to Manhattan, Villanova Creighton and BYU.
 
So when they are doing good, Billy is a genius. When they are doing bad, its not Billy's fault. Got it.

those are facts dude

fine blam billy if you want just giving the reason for the falloff after the back 2 back

first statement is accurate. Other than a 2 year enigma, he is less than average. Feast or famine with Eddie, no in between.
 
Just got my tix to the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 in St Louis. I think theres zero chance of seeing games as good as the last time I was there.
 
Also, predictions:

Wisconsin
Michigan State
Ohio State (However, Cincinnati has the numbers to pull off an upset so it wouldn't shock me)
Marquette
Xavier (I'll explain if needed)
UNC
Kentucky (again, an upset wouldn't shock me)
Kansas

Good picks. I agree with all of them except Marquette. I can definitely see Ky laying an egg against Indiana.
 
I expect a UK blowout. It may shrink towards the 15-point range by the final buzzer like their first two tournament games, but I don't expect it to be in doubt for very long. The funny part is that Cats fans will probably be disappointed if this isn't a blowout.

Yep. They want revenge, I'll take the win in any fashion.
 
Depends on which IU team shows up to play. They have been monsters one game and kitty cats the next.

I think Kentucky wins by 5. :hi:

Oh UKvols, you are such a negative nanny. IDGAF if it's 2 points or 42 points- a win is the goal.
 
I am not old enough to enjoy the classic rivalry between IU and UK and before the season I wished them well as I do any other team I don't care about. The week before they played in December their fans were some of the most hateful I've ever encountered maybe it's because they were down for 15 years or whatever but they seemed really to hate UK more than any other fan base I've known...I'm not sure why they would hate us more than some of their big10 schools but there were some really violent things tweeted before the game - may not surprise old timers but surprised me

Now I hope we whip them by 20+
 
What a great storyline if IU wins again though. And the heads of Big Blue Nation will collectively explode in unison, which is always an enjoyable annual occurence. Present UK fans excluded, of course.
