Ugh I sharpied the result into my brackets with 5 minutes to play... And I'm too OCD to just scratch it out, I'll have to fill out all new brackets for the whole family.... F PU

10-0 run with no timeout... 3 remaining... Does Painter think he can use them Saturday?

wearing traditional home unis today... 20-0 this season in those uniforms...

Wow 2 horrible calls in a row on UConn... Colorado making this a game at the end

plumlee looks really good, don't know why they keep going at him..

I UN liked this twice just so I could like it the 3rd time!!!!!

Omaha scored 80 in the 2nd half and still lost... Think about that for a moment, it's a crazy stat.

On top of this from Sagarin, Kenpom has Chatanooga worse than all the other 12 seeds, all the 13 seeds, 2 of the 14 seeds, 1 of the 15 seeds....

You wear Mockingbirds on your feet? Alaska is such a weird place.... LOL

Murray is definitely their best player.... so in my opinion he is probably going to get his, I think we have enough to offset that... I also have confidence that there is a possibility of ROJO/OG slowing him down quite a bit.... My thinking is that 1 player is not going to beat us, so then who is next.... I agree Yogi/Ulis is a wash basically.... I think our bigs are better than Skal & Willis, not worried about Briscoe... so that leaves Poythress, the 1 player on UK with a lot of experience... And that is 1 of the reasons he scares me...

Poythress is their scariest player in my opinion, so we definitely need to get him in foul trouble early (which he has had some foul issues)... Other than that I think we match-up really well with them...

WOW I can't believe UNC lost in the first round in an Academic Bracket....       :angry:  :angry:  :angry:  Dang it I can't find the darn Sarcastic Font :angry:  :angry:  :angry:     :cheese:  :cheese:  :ninja:  :ninja:

I am on Chrome right now... Couldn't post at first but could view after hitting "Back to Safety" a couple times... Finally clicked Details and then Go on to Site and then everything worked.   I know the Mods are working on a fix but just in case this can help you in the meantime.

Don't think this will be in doubt very early...   IU 96 Mocs 66   Priller Time!!!!

The starting five: 6-10 redshirt junior Justin Tuoyo vs Thomas Bryant = As long as Bryant stays out of foul trouble I see no issues here, same height and Bryant is just a bit bigger (10 lbs)... 6-7 junior forward Chuck Ester vs Collin Hartman = Again same size players, Ester is an inside player with very few 3pt attempts and has a TO problem. Don't think he can guard Collin around the perimeter. 6-5 redshirt junior Tre McLean vs Troy Williams = Troy is taller and stronger. As long as good Troy is in the building this should be a match-up we can take advantage of. 6-2 junior guard Greg Pryor vs Rob Johnson = Rob is taller but Pryor is a little stronger. If Rob is healthy I think Pryor is completely shut down. 6-4 senior guard Eric Robertson vs Yogi = Well this is Yogi's world, The Mocs just live in it!   Not to downplay this match-up but I really see no chance that this is even a close game...

No offense but you just picked 10 out of 12 games as upsets (those 3 seed lines) .... With odds like that it will be easy to look back later and say, see I told you x would upset y... You can't honestly believe all 10 will be upsets, or even more than 3...

Texas vs Texas a&m

I don't get how the selection committee can swear they don't set matchups on purpose... No reason either us or UK shouldn't have been in the South with the potential to play in Louisville, other than to purposely set up this matchup...

Huge shot yes... Clutch shot, not in my opinion considering time and score in that game... OG is a freshman and I understand there will be issues because of that, just saying I was happy with the play, didn't work out but I thought it was a good play. Not blaming the whole loss on Yogi or OG or Troy or any individual...

I feel like Cal would try to run with us and I'm confident that there isn't a team on the country who can be successful against us with that gameplan... Arizona scares me, Iowa state is usually overrated but Niang is tough...

This is worst case scenario in my mind.... I would want to be in any bracket besides the Virginia Bracket.... Playing against Virginia gives me flashbacks to playing against Syracuse.... not at all the same defense, but GREAT defense that you don't see everyday.... Yikes...   Before that though I would rather play Stony Brook than Akron or South Dakota State... wouldn't mind UNC-Wilmington. And Cal is the #5 seed I would most like to play... of these projections...

All the talk about the last possession and how Yogi should have the ball, but OG was having a career game. Watching it live I was not upset that he had the ball, I was scared when Troy started to drive but once he dished to OG I thought we were in a good place... It didn't turn out well.   As far as Yogi goes, he has never shown me the ability to hit the big shots... I understand wanting our undeniable BEST player to have the ball in his hands at the end, but that just doesn't give me much confidence.   I hate to place the blame on any 1 person (and I am not) but the missed free throw by Yogi was huge.... That changes the game from a 3 point game to a 4 point game... Who knows what would have happened next but I would be willing to be that in that situation Michigan tries to get in the lane and score a 2 point basket, leaving us up 2 and then they would have to foul.... I guess you can always play the what if games though...

Half Empty - We didn't look good defensively... The pick and rolls killed us repeatedly.... The looks they got from 3 were wide open (not the game winner though).   Half Full - If this takes us from the bottom of the 3 seed line to the TOP of the 4 or 5 seed line could that be a good thing as far as location? How far down the seeding line does the committee consider location? If this loss moves us from potentially Anaheim or Philadelphia and moves us to Louisville or Chicago even... that is a good thing.   Or if it moves our first round game from Spokane/Denver  to St Louis.... then this loss could prove very helpful....

It is... Just have to wait for a few minutes.... Right at 12:00 it came on for me on WatchESPN

Hopefully A LOT.... Cause none is getting done after noon!!!
