DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Tailgate Forum College Basketball - March Madness II

btw...the person who is currently in the lead in my league has a final four of:

Louisville
Ohio State
Michigan
Syracuse

with Syracuse winning it all.

He's one of the top people in the country at this stage.

My son is in first and I am in second in a fairly large pool. We both have OSU as the champion. Sadly, the wife of my friend who administers the pool....(she actually did all of the work) suddenly passed away this week. She was 39yo and just a wonderful human being. It just takes all of the enjoyment out of march madness for us this year.

I'm nervous, Wichita State reminds me a lot of Sparty in terms of style of play.

Just signed a 10 year extension and told the media how much he loved being here and wanted to finish what he started. I understand its all about the money. Just wish once it wasn't.

Bye bye Count Chocula

Man if we win today I honestly think we win it all.

Just find a way Bucks!

Unbelievable

Hoping the 2nd half balances out our shooting %

I feel like I'm watching Cincinnati, no ball movement, jacking up threes early in the shot clock and bricked free throws.

Just selfish and lazy basketball.

Look exactly like we did early in the year. Matta got the best out of these scrubs.

Worst excuse for b-ball I have seen on any level. There's no excuse for this nonsense.

One way to describe OSU getting a beatdown at the hands of Wichita State: Incredibly disappointing

With that said, though, I will most likely root for Wichita State against Michigan/Florida in the Final 4. I like what I'm seeing from this Carl Hall dude.

Marv Albert has jinxed us at least 3 times at the free throw line

It's irritating me

I love Aaron but man, for a smart kid he makes some STUPID decisions at the end of games.

It was a nice run, but this game will haunt those kids for a long time.

Yeah when you shoot 31% from the field 20% from 3, you will lose your game.

Oh well, next years team will be good. 4/5 starters returning and Ross will fill in for DT.

*Sigh*

Just clicking Ytown

but it amazes me how fast people can turn on their teams. We had another nice run, did many expect Elite 8 this year? Not just in this thread, but other places too. Now all of a sudden they are bums and scrubs? SMH

King

If I could change one thing about college basketball, it'd be that college football starts like a week after the final four.

Speaking for myself, I'm just disappointed.

Credit given for the Buckeye comeback, but it was a horribly stupid loss. We started rarly to get WS in foul issues, then quit driving and drawing fouls. WE also were heinous about throwing up shots that were covered and not working it in. This was a hard loss to watch, but not to understand IMO. We gave away about 3/4 of our possessions, especially perimeter. Some starters did way too little werk on defense. This should have been the Buckeyes day; will not say I am proud of their efforts,

I dont know about anyone else but I never wanna see the replay of Louisville kid again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really hate to see that happen to anyone

I strongly advise not to watch replay. Worst thing I've seen in sports. Having Knee injuries from sports myself... made me walk outside to catch my breath.

Dear God I feel awful for Ware.

That looked as bad if not worse than what happened to Lattimore.

gruesome... just gruesome.

Worst than the Theisman break some years back.

IT loooked the kid on the end of the Louisviile bench passed out.. happened right in front of him.

I only saw it twice (though the 2nd time I was peeping through my fingers). And from what I saw, it seemed like it was all bone. I didn't really see potential ligament damage.*

*I'm not a doctor but I'll play one in this thread.

for sure bone - got a close up look at it and for sure bone was sticking through... ugly

Russ Smith is what I thought Shannon Scott would be

An amazing effort put out by Louisville here. An excellent coaching job by Patino and a great response from the players after what happened to Kevin Ware. Prayers are with him and his family and I hope he makes a speedy recovery from such an injury.

I think that ties Malarchuk in my power rankings of ugliest sports injuries ever.

Gotta say I was disapointed, but tOSU had a great year after being picked 5-6 in the BIG TEN Pre Season Polls, and what a foundation for next year even if DT leaves, (I hope he stays) ... Go Bucks

Major upset brewing in the womens tournament.

Louisville is up 16 on Baylor with 6:30 left.

I tuned in a few minutes before they took him away on the stretcher, and a crowd was around him as he was lying on the floor. Couldn't see anything for all the people, but when they was showing the reaction of others, and showed no replay of what happened, and then noticed his leg was in some type of splint, I figured it was a pretty gruesome injury, and I'm glad I didn't see it happen.

It's on YouTube.

However, I'd suggest not watching it.

Did they show multiple angles of the injury on footage? Or some kind of zoom?

All I could find was the gameplay video of it happening.

From what I understand bone stuck out, but I couldn't really see that. I am just wondering if y'all got a better view than me. All I saw was the jump, the landing, and the injury very briefly.

Reminds me of the Theismann injury. Poor kid didn't even have LT buckling his leg, just a freak landing (which looked perfectly normal to me).

Thanks, but wasn't planning on it

That was as bad as Cory Hill in a UFC fight kicked someone leg, they checked the kick with thier shin and Cory's leg snapped halfway between the knee and ankle. UFC replayed it many time in multiple angles and I had to change the channel for a while so I didn't see it again. Glad CBS didnt do what the UFC did.

What was the final score? Had guests show up and Lville was up by like 9 when I quit watching.
