Spiders bite the Commodores, 69-66. Hey, I've been telling you all year that Richmond can be tough.

Aztecs beat up on NC (that's Northern Colorado, so don't get too excited) 68-50.

jcruse64 · 03-17-2011, 06:02 PM

Nice, NICE win for Morehead. I hate 'em, but WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 Dances in a row, the OVC gets a win. Looks like a winnable Round 2 game also.

Wow, Vandy, 2nd year in a row. Gonna leave a mark with that one!

Florida is having a real tough time

. Glad to see the Cats were able to squeak a win out.

I forgot to put up any brackets this year.

Type it out on google docs or gmail, then cut and paste.

SD Beerman · 03-18-2011, 10:07 PM

your boys are playing well now.

jcruse64 · 03-19-2011, 03:10 PM

The Cats were up in today's 1st game, against the same school that bounced them last year. Little better outcome for the Faithful today

. It was a good game; I would not be surprised if any of you heard my wife screaming at the refs, coaches, or players

.

The Gators are in a fight against the Bruins as I type, with less than a minute to go. Again, another good game.

Ordering in for supper; can't miss the Morehead/Richmond match coming up.

jcruse64 · 03-19-2011, 07:39 PM

Whew!!!! Butler drops Pitt! Whatta finish! I was impressed that Butler was able to stand in there against a very good 2nd half from Pitt, especially with the disadvantage in rebounding.

I rooted for Butler, and was glad the refs called the last 1.4 sec as close as the rest of the game. I gotta say though; that kid made a mistake, but his coach lost the game for them right there. What in the world was he thinking, having his kids lined up at the line for the 2nd Pitt free throw and going after a rebound?!?!?!?!? 1.4 seconds left, ain't no way Butler gets a rebound and heaves a shot over 3/4 court for the win. Stupid!!! Keep your kids out of the way! I feel sorry for the kid, just as I did when Mack fouled.

Didn't see much of the SDSU game, but 2OT's is usually a fun game to watch. Coach K vs Coach Fisher again???

It was fun, State could have won a little easier, almost bit through my cigar watching it.

jcruse64 · 03-20-2011, 06:50 PM

Drats! Thought Dook was toast, but they hung in for the win.

Tough ending for the Huskies. Don't know if the extra time would have helped them get a shot off or not, but I hate to see any game end like that, especially at this level.

Same is true for the Texas/Arizona matchup. Tough non-call at the end. I couldn't tell from the first replays, whereas last night's replay on the Butler game was conclusive.

smelly4tay · 03-21-2011, 03:00 PM

Wow so many close games. Sad about my Huskies, but they put on a thrilling game. Credit to UNC and Coach Roy.

syracuse put a dagger in my heart yesterday but at least I have my red sox to look forward to now.

Temple done in by missing lay ups!.....like 5 or 6!....great game but Sweet 16 woulda been, well....Sweet!

Let's Go Red Sox.......

SD Beerman · 03-25-2011, 02:35 PM

Alas, San Diego State is out, but we had a great year and hopefully we will get just a little respect out West.....

jcruse64 · 03-25-2011, 06:35 PM

Wow! Was hoping dook would get beat, but did not expect the beatdown they received!!! Really did not expect it from 'Zona, given how close their previous 2 games were.

VERY glad to see Butler make it through their game.

Got to watch the Kemba vs Jimmer show. UCONN doesn't appear to be weakening any.

Kansas and NC are putting clinics on right now; it's getting past embarrassing for Richmond and Marquette. Both teams are colder than ice from outside.

Go UK!!!!!

taltos · 03-27-2011, 02:57 PM

And then there were none. When is the last time that no #1 seeds survived to the Final Four?

jcruse64 · 03-27-2011, 06:42 PM

I think it's the first time since the change from the 32-team format.

This has been an exciting Dance. I'd not be surprised if CBS is disappointed with the Butler/VCU side of the bracket, but I'm not. Lots of people root for the underdog and love both these teams. That said, it might, then, have been better if these 2 were facing one of the other 2 teams, for ratings sake.

I REALLY didn't expect VCU to survive this game. KU, as much as I don't like them, has a good team. But I didn't think they were more dominant than THE OSU, who was probably as dominant as any this season. And this season, anyone could be beaten. You could see it on his face during the game; Self couldn't believe this little twit of a team was beating his Jayhawks. I was pretty surprised myself.

I figured the Cats had a shot at the win against the Heels, though. They delivered. I missed most of it, so can't comment a lot. It sounded like there was some more solid defense and guard play, up-tempo ball, and good inside performance from Harrellson. These guys are really gelling right now, and the UCONN game should be fantastic.

I have no idea on Butler/VCU. I'd say Butler will have the edge, but after watching VCU pop the Jayhawks, I've no clue. Should be fun to watch, though.

The Poet · 03-29-2011, 11:57 AM

Just FYI, I've not been ignoring youse guys . . . I've spent the last week+ in the hospital following emergency surgery.

Thanks for keeping the thread alive. I'll let you know if the doctors managed to do the same for me.

jcruse64 · 03-29-2011, 06:20 PM

Best wishes for full and speedy recovery, Poet. I imagine Dancing is the least of what's on your mind right now.

Here's hoping the doctors successfully did their doctor thing. Get well soon, bro...you have a full season of watching mediocre pitching ahead of you.

jcruse64 · 04-03-2011, 12:03 PM

Well, more B'Ball fun for the weekend.

VCU/Butler was fun to watch, but I think Butler's coach was ready for them, and they wore them down in the end. VCU did a great job though, and was in it for most of the game.

UK/UCONN was a surprisingly low-scoring matchup, I thought. I was surprised at the Cat's 1st half FG%, and the Huskies 2nd half FG%. I figured a little better for both. In the first, the Cats looked the the Road Team I've seen all season. Lethargic at times, and couldn't hit the side of a mountain. 25% FG...OUCH!!!! Must have been a good butt stomping in the locker room at the half for the Cats. But once they got back up with them, the shots quit falling again, and the Huskies were able to hold on. HORRIBLE execution for the Cats last in-bounds play, though the Huskies D had a lot to do with that. But it looked like some of the Cats either got too tired, or just lost the aggressiveness after they tied it back up. Short shots, missed free throws, and not as much hustle for loose balls, for a Final 4 appearance. Hey, UCONN was warn out too, but still hustled a little better than some of the Cats. Also thought they were never really able to use Harrelson as much as needed, though foul trouble helped there. Also one missed goal tend call against UCONN in the 2nd and a missed double-dribble against them too.
But, a good game.

Go Butler!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did y'all think???
