NCAA Tournament Day 4 Thread

roy williams?

He's up there.

We always like to rag on Calipari, but the dude does win in March.

Self and Williams have had some great runs, but given the talent they have, they are the anti-Izzos.

If you had a talented team, you'd want K or Calhoun (of modern coaches) to take them into the tournament.

If you had a veteran, team with some grit, you'd want Izzo. You wouldn't win a title, but you'd go a few rounds further than you think you should.

Well, let me get real Nelson-esque:

The other conferences are conspiring to destroy the BXII. They don't want to share profits. Any surprise Baylor and TCU were left out of the Football Championship?

It all adds up!

(/tin_hat)

Thats my thought!

 

[tzznandrew]

Wow. They had that woman showing the "shocker" on the screen far a long time. Not sure the TV crew knew what was happening there.

Shockers blowing out Kansas!

If Gonzaga and Dayton win than Nelson can keep watching!

Gonzaga up 10 against Iowa.

Do you know who shares a state with Iowa? Iowa State? Do you know what conference Iowa State is in?

Big XII.

Conspiracy!

I had Wichita State because Bill Self is Jim Boeheim, but looks better because he was in a worse conference all those years than Syracuse was when they were in the Big East.

Self has rode Mario Chalmers to a title and then flamed out far too early for the amount of talent he's had in so, so many seasons.

Self made 1 other title game, too, but of course couldn't beat Cal the second time. He got lucky the first!

Syracuse also made the title game in 1997, though.

1996.

Sorry, my "one more title game" was Self, though. I wasn't clear. Fixed it.

<nelson>Wichita St winning is the worst thing that could happen to UConn, I need to figure out a reason why so I'll get back to you soon but refs and P5 are involved</nelson>

Wichita State to the B1G

 

[tzznandrew]

Wichita State to the B1G

Their football team disbanded in 1986...but it won't take much to get them up to B1G standards...and doesn't the B1G need a traveling partner for Arizona State hockey?

Makes perfect sense.

Makes perfect sense.

Yes, the B1G will invite Wichita State for football and hockey but not basketball and invite ASU for hockey only, and BU for football only to balance it all out.

@ESPNStatsInfo: Kansas has 6 first-weekend losses as a Top-2 seed, most in NCAA Tournament history

Another one I picked to lose instinctively based on past failures. I had no idea Wichita was that good though. They are fun to watch. I have them advancing to the Elite Eight so I hope they send ND (who I had going down to Butler) home.

Dayton is running out of gas.

 

[whaler11]

The refs in this Dayton game. Putting them on notice.

 

[ASweet3781]

This could be Gonzaga's best shot to make the Final 4.

I just realized if SMU had made the Sweet 16, which they should have, the regional is in Houston. Great job Larry.

 

[CallMeBruce]

Dayton is running out of gas.

They haven't produced a decent shot in several minutes now.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Dayton's guard got killed going to hoop with no call, and then on the Oklahoma break, Dayton gets called for touch foul. Interesting.

Great job Larry. How dare you get bronchitis.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Big 12 avoids a Sweet 16 shutout.

 

[ASweet3781]

Bronchitis caused his team to blow a 7 pt lead with under 2 to go?

 

[ASweet3781]

Big 12 avoids a Sweet 16 shutout.

Deep breath. Xavier, Wichita, Gonzaga, maybe Northern Iowa.

 

[tzznandrew]

Bronchitis caused his team to blow a 7 pt lead with under 2 to go?

No. Stupid play and a terrible, terrible, unforgivably bad call did.

He's responsible for some of that. But I assumed, like most, you were killing him for looking like death on the bench. Which, you know, bronchitis will make you do.
