Title: March Madness 2010 (with spoilers)
Post by: metallimonster on March 12, 2010, 09:44:09 AM
Anyone up for some college BB talk?

Check ESPN because Evan Turner just cemented his player of the year award with a nasty half-court buzzer beater to dash Big Blow's chance at a tournament bid.  Sorry Wolverine fans but the Buckeyes get to finish your season once again.

I'm hoping for a 1 seed but I'll be happy for a 2.  Hoping my Buckeyes will make it to at least the final four this year.

I am a Butler University graduate.


I always pick the 12 seed to beat the number 5 seed.


God damn Butler got the number 5 seed.

Highest percentage upset ranking.


Regardless, my Bulldogs will prevail into the Sweet 16 again.

As my Bearcats suck so bad, again, I am glad Huggins and WV are having a good year.  Will give me someone to cheer for.

So who's bracket got busted yesterday?

I'm still two games over .500, so I'm good.  [thumbsup]

You?
Title: Re: March Madness 2010 (with spoilers)
Post by: metallimonster on March 19, 2010, 05:43:39 AM
I'm busted!

Wish I would have went with my heart and picked the Bobcats to beat Georgetown.

"OU OH YEAH BABY". Athens is one of my favorite places. The way they played last night was awesome.  Don't forget they were a 9 seed in the MAC tournament.  I would be really upset if I was a Hoyas fan. Here's to the Bobcats beating Tenn. and a battle for Ohio in the Sweet Sixteen.

Either Way at least my Buckeyes have an easier path to the Elite Eight.

Nova got lucky.

The UNI UNLV game was pretty intense.  I am glad to see UNI win - they consistently put great teams together from lower profile recruits.

Wow, Nova and KANSAS went down today.  Every Buckeye fan in the country was pregnant doging about the bracket they put us in because of Kansas.  Now they have to worry about GT and UNI.

This is why March Madness is so awesome.

Kentucky keeps rolling.

If Turner can play like he normally does the Buckeyes now have a wide open shot at the final four.

UNI reminds me of George Mason from '06, except they are a lot better. Really stingy D, good shooters, and they make you play their way.

They have a really good chance to make it to the Final Four, now that they beat Kansas. They will have a little more confidence and swagger now. Buckeyes will be a tough out for anyone though, but I don't have much confidence in any team that lost to my Heels, even if it was before Christmas.

I am feeling upset against Syracuse.

In a perfect world, Butler would upset Cuse and Cornell would upset Kentucky.  That would make me a very happy person.

Syracuse's star player (so I have read, didn't follow them much, only watch butler) is not going to play.


If my Bulldogs show up to play like champions and they got their great defense in action, as well as their great ball movement and the three pointers are on target.......We will win.



I need something good to happen now.

I called it.


BULLDOGS IN THE ELITE 8!!!!!

I think we can handle Kansas State and that brings us back to Indianapolis, only a few miles from Campus for the Final FOUR!

Yes Please beat K-State so you can find out what it is like to play the Buckeyes with Turner.  You got off easy last time.

Turner is good. I voted for him for the Naismith. That said though, if any team can handle Turner and give the Buck eyes a fit defensively, it is Butler.

They shut down Syracuse, who has some great players. One of which is Johnson, who is also a Naismith candidate with similar game as Turner.

Our defense, as Jobu said, can handle Turner.




We shut down syracuse and we our shooting percentage was shit.........and we still won.

Looks like you will have to wait another year to see if your Buckeyes can take down my Bulldogs!


OSU got outplayed

and

don't give me the excuse on that block at the end of the game. They were never gonna get that call, regardless of game.

They just plain lost. Can't blame one shot at the end on a sloppy performance til that point.



Off to watch Butler win!

BUTLER!
BUTLER!
BUTLER!

See you all in Indianapolis.


I think I have my tickets secured and damn good ones for a great price of 270$.



Maybe this country will now support that Mid-Majors are not bullshit teams.


We can make the beast with two backsing play.

Post by: cyrus buelton on April 05, 2010, 09:07:30 AM
Tickets didn't work out.....but..........we made it to the end.


It will surely be a tough game tonight, but if we stick to our game, play good defense and make the beast with two backsing shoot better than 30%, we have a shot at a nice big banner in Hinkle!!!!

My alma mater almost pulled off the miracle.

God, if Hayward would have hit that shot!!


What a great season, Butler.

You fought hard through the entire tournament, against everyone dawging you.

Then we came to the final game and almost one it.


damn 30% shooting percentage  [roll]
