NCAA Tournament: Sort of a gamethread

[lawgator1]

I like the word you just invented. Please win so I can maybe win my bracket.

What, fumblestilskin? I call my buddy that whenever we play poker because he drops chips all over the place trying to move them around. Fat fingers.

HOYAS HOYAS

OSU up early.

Notre Dame has no shot at the BCS in football.

All they have to do is finish in the top 8 to be in a BCS bowl. If ESPN still has a hard on for them, they should do it. It sucks and I don't want to see it.

ND won't be that good next year. They will lose to USC and Michigan, and one other team will put them out of everyone else's misery.

 

[tvolsfan]

Hoyas shooting 25 percent.

t/o gtown

osu with 9 minutes 14-7

Nice to see the refs call Oden for lowering his shoulder.

I really don't want to see OSU win another national championship.

I wouldn't mind if the refs tossed him for giving Hibbert a funny look.

I hope so. But both UM and USC will be highly ranked and the rest on their schedule are Georgia Tech and military schools.

It's interesting for me to watch Georgetown play after mostly watching UT play this year. UT looks for any excuse to shoot a 3 pointer -- why settle for a layup when you can loft up a 3 pointer? Georgetown seems to mostly shoot a 3 as a last resort. I'm sure they probably have some good shooters, but it really does seem to be a different type of game. Is this is a typical style of play for Georgetown?

Georgetown needs to learn how to pass.

Oden should be awarded "Most Rested All American in the NCAA Tournament".

Good point, those are great seats.

Nice move by Hibbert to draw the 3rd foul on Oden and to get the basket.

Hibbert and his boys will get to watch the next game from the stands.. :vava:

As good as Ohio State is with Oden, I think they'd still be at worst a top 10 team without him.

Absolfreakinlutely. When his arse goes to the bench with foul trouble they don't lose any ground and a lot of times increase the lead over their opponent...

That's why I'm not sure why everyone think we're going to kill them in Knoxville next year. Even if Oden does go to the League, that's a really good team.

 

[tidwell]

I like UT's chances a lot better without Oden and playing in Knoxville, but I don't expect it to be a cakewlak by any means.

Has the picture on CBS been absolutely awful for anyone else today?

Couldn't agree more. The few OSU fans I know and talk to will not realize this. Conley is the MVP on that team IMO.

Agreed.

Been fine for me.
