NCAA Final Four Picks

Bah, I pretty much stopped watching after I saw Kansas lose in the first round. Any hopes of a reasonably good bracket dies after one of your final two goes out.

Still, I have UConn, Texas, and BC to round out of my final 3.

naz, that MD loss was just sad. I've been following MD basketball for awhile, but when the women's team actually gives me more interesting stories than the self-destructing men's team, something is definitely wrong in College Park. I hope they get it fixed next year.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wtf. Awesome end to the UCLA-Gonzaga game, although I'd probably being saying it was a terrible end if UCLA lost, haha. Almost wanted to turn off the game early too, good call on being lazy enough not to change the channel.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It was a damn shame Kansas, which I had losing to UConn in the champ game (stupid stupid stupid) lost in the first round.

However, my other three, Texas, BC, and UConn are still in the mix. Even though I had Duke beating LSU last night, I'm glad that Texas has a bit of an "easier" road to the final four. At this point though, I'm only playing for pride in my pools, rather than for any cash money prizes.

Most amazing jew boots

I'm very close to giving this year's tournament the best I've seen. And this includes the year that Maryland won the tourney. Almost every game I've watched has been buzzer-beaters and OT games. This is insanity. And you've even still got a cinderella in the Elite Eight, it has everything you want in a good tourney!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

A tournament full of bracket busters but extremely enjoyable. I was very tempted to call this is the best tourney I've seen in recent years, including Maryland's tourney win several years back (which is still fondly in my memory). The early rounds were full of OT games, buzzer-beaters, I felt like every game I watched was an OT game.

Sadly, the Final Four let me down a bit. There was really little excitement in these last three games as the winners of each pretty much cemented their position by halftime. A rather ho-hum end to an otherwise exciting tourney.

Haha, I'm actually interested in the MD/Duke game coming up in the Women's final. Yeah, I'm sure many people here are of the "ho-hum" women's basketball mentality, but I actually got some enjoyment out of watching an underdog MD team beat the team that everyone had picked to take it all (in UNC). I guess I'll tune in tomorrow, if nothing else is on.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Haha, don't they riot in MD anytime they play Duke, win or lose? I remember many times when I would drive by College Park after a big game and it looked like a warzone.

You missed a great game. This championship was much more exciting than the men's final. Just because it was women didn't mean it wasn't an enjoyable game. While I'll admit to joining onto the bandwagon for the women's team, this was a team (as I said) that everyone had slept on, which just adds to more of the accomplishment.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
