Disappointing first half for Butler

 

[ASweet3781]

UNC got a very favorable top half of bracket.

 

[beakumhawks]

Baylor-South Carolina is a snoozefest compared to these other games

 

[nelsonmuntz]

UNC got a very favorable top half of bracket.

I don't know about that. UNC is having a good game because they are a very talented team and Butler is a little off. I wouldn't look at the results of one game and say Butler sucks.

 

[Jaker]

Luckily, UNC is as good at choking on a lead as we were this season, so I suspect a big comback from Butler.

 

[Robertelamin]

MSG crowd seems pretty good.

 

[superjohn]

Baylor is horrible.

 

[kobe]

THINK ABOUT THIS GUYS: WISCONSIN, FLORIDA, SOUTH CAROLINA, XAVIER OR GONZAGA WILL BE PLAYING FOR THE NATIONAL TITLE.

 

[Jerry1714]

the fact we are this close to a South Carolina v Xavier game to go to the NC is really frightening

I have no problem with any of those teams winning the NC

 

[Jerry1714]

Baylor is horrible.

Then how did they beat Oregon, Xavier, Louisville, VCU, Michigant State, Iowa State, WVU, ect.?

Let me guess you watched them play 1 half of basketball all year?

 

[Jerry1714]

Why

Because it means either South Carolina or Xavier will be playing for a national title

 

[Jaker]

Josh Jackson has always been the X factor for UNC and tonight he is having a tremendous game.

Chill brother, I've seen them play more than a half.

Wrong Jackson. Josh plays for Kansas. The UNC Jackson is Justin.

That's right

 

[superjohn]

Guy thinks if you have a bad shooting day you suck .

Still getting on me for thinking UConn sucked this season. You still think we will win the AAC tournament and everything is all good in Storrs?

 

[Robertelamin]

Because it means either South Carolina or Xavier will be playing for a national title

So what, who cares? UConn won a championship as a 7 seed so more power to them.

 

[Jerry1714]

Yeah , there's nothing frightening about that to me.

I have no problem with those 2 schools in general, but Xavier lost 6 out of 7 going into the BE tournament, and SC had losses to SH, Clemson, Memphis, Bama 2x, Ole Miss, and really has 2 decent wins all year before the tournament.

 

[Jaker]

Butler showing a pulse

 

[beakumhawks]

Butler trying to make it a game now.

 

[beakumhawks]

I would say that Baylor is having Last Rites given to it, but I"m fairly sure Baptists don't do the Last Rites thingie.

 

[BugsyCT]

We had a Butler/VCU national semifinal game in 2011. South Carolina/Xavier wouldn't be all that weird.

 

[Jaker]

These first 2 games have been dogs, hopefully Ucla/ U.K. Is a good one

 

[BugsyCT]

The upside to having UNC, UK, & UCLA left in one region is that only one can make the FF.

 

[storrsroars]

I don't know a thing about SC hoops, but watching their last two games, they're pretty good. They hustle for everything.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Strange that Williams played Berry so many minutes in a blowout. Berry is having ankle issues, and Williams just left him out there.

 

[superjohn]

Happy for South Carolina, they've had very little basketball success over the years. Happy for Frank Martin too, he's a hell of a coach and a lot of people are finally taking notice.

 

[BugsyCT]

This is about Baylor & Oregon's ceiling in the tourney.

 

[kobe]

I have no problem with any of those teams winning the NC

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANYTHING GOOD HAPPENING TO XAVIER
