Duke.

I do love college basketball. Hopefully Gerry can make us relevant again. Even if the rest of the world only pays attention for these three weeks, it is a fun three weeks.

It’s crazy that Illinois and Arizona haven’t been to a final four in 21 and 25 yrs before breaking the streak this year ( assuming based on Zona taking control)

I’ve been thinking about that a lot. They’re similar level programs as us historically. We will be back again, I believe. Illinois was a down program for awhile there before they got Underwood.

Does Jim Jackson even watch college basketball?

Arizona is one of the few teams in college basketball with bigs that can pass like this - one of the other ones being Michigan and the other St. Johns.

Huh? St. Johns? They'd be below half the teams left in the tourney.

Tennessee relies upon it with lobs-galore big-to-big. Illinois is superb. Etc, etc, etc....

Arizona especially. Seem to get Top 6ish talent and the West is always soft. That's amazing.

About as much as BH knew about Providence’s history when interviewed after taking the job.

This Purdue PG makes some fancy passes

We still have more Final Fours than Arizona.

Sean Miller always had good teams but struggled to get past the Elite Eight during the height of his success there.

Duke.

You are biased. Not fair.

 

[JeffCuse]

That 2nd half was a work of art. Arizona is winning this whole thing.

 

[RF2044]

The last six games (4 in Friday and 2 Saturday), I am 0-6 on teams I've pulled for to win

Brutal

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I think my favorite commercial this tournament is this Huggies nonsense about their diapers having "Huggfit 360 Technology"

It makes me laugh every time. What sorta super baby needs huggfit 360 tech?

Show me ones who don’t

So, you’ll be pulling for UConn next, right?

Give him a break he went to The Ohio State.

I remember when we used to have talent such as Zona, damn do I miss that, plus a decent bench as well. They were so key in that second half run.
