<--- Proudly picked West Virginia over Duke in his bracket. LOVE IT. Wasn't sure I was going to be able to watch basketball today after the Clemson heartbreak yesterday, but it's gotten off to a darn fine start. Now the Badgers just need to take care of business....

Is there anything more predictable than a Notre Dame exit in the opening weekend? Hahaha, I love it. That's what happens when you're perennially overrated and seeded better than you should be. EMBARRASSED by Tony Bennet and company. Awesome.

and Texas A&M loses as somebody, again, tries to recreate Tyus Edny and go coast to coast. You know, fellas, it worked for him because he was fast, agile, and the team spread out and forced the defense to come out after them a bit. The A&M guy? He decides to drive the lane, 1-on-4, among the trees. Gee, no wonder he got his shot blocked by two guys.

 

Is this really the play that the coach drew up? That's the best he could come up with? Where's Homer Drew when we need him?

Yeah, I've never gotten why teams just abandon their offense when the clocks running out. Not necessarily at the end of the game, happens at the end of halves too. Although in A&M's case I think they had less than 10 seconds so it's hard to really run your offense I guess.

 

However, that was really frustrating when McNeal took a 25 footer with 8 seconds left.

I've been noticing this, too. The point guard will dribble around until there's less than 10 seconds left, and then try to penetrate, which invariably results in the hoisting of some wild shot. Teams seem to be so obsessed with leaving no time on the clock for their opponents (which is understandable at the end of a game) that they don't bother to play offense smartly themselves.

Marquette is pretty good when they are knocking down 3s. When they aren't falling, they go through periods when they can't score and thats why they wouldn't have gone very much further. They don't play a great team game, a player gets the ball, and jacks up a 3. Or James trys to take over when he should just pass the ball.

in the western kentucky game the guy dribbled down the court, passed to a wide open guy and he hit the 3 to beat Drake. Amazing how a guy with a wide open shot has a better chance of making it than the guy who is trying to go 1 on 5

Wow, after looking at this picture from the final shot of the UCLA A&M game, I don't know how the refs swallowed their whistles. Can you say home cooking for UCLA?

wowsie, woosie, wowsers! We get Davidson instead of Georgetown.

 

Sorry, guys, but I better not read any posts about how "easy" a game that'll be. Especially since we all remember a game back on January 20th in Green Bay that so many people thought would be a sure win for the home team.

 

Davidson reminds me a ton of Gonzaga back in 1998-1999 when they first gained prominence.

Curry scares me a lot.

Yeah, you and me both. I remember watching him in the tourney last year and was extremely impressed with him. That's one of the big reasons I picked Davidson for the Sweet 16. He is an extremely good shooter, who can also take the ball off the dribble and score. Wisconsin is in for a challenge.
