2009 Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament

[Paul Wozniak]

Syracuse out to a big early lead.

I went out on a limb picking Syracuse and Missouri for my final four. I originally had an all Big East final four, then I was talking to Salsa about Syracuse, and he mentioned he had an all Big East final. That got me thinking, I hadn't realized that I had done the same, so I went looking for where UCONN might lose. An all Big East final four just didn't seem likely to me. I got to believe than no conference has ever achieved that, have they? I know of at least one same conference final championship- Indiana and Michigan met in 1976, I believe, and I think the Big East had three in the final four one year. Maybe Georgetown, Villanova, and St. John. with St Joe's rounding out the last position. Maybe somebody with time on their hands can sort this out for me?

I have Louisville, Syracuse, Pitt and Memphis for my final four.

I also have Missouri in the Final Four. So that's not good for YOU..........since I suck at this!

There's been a few championship games like that: Villanova-Georgetown and Kansas-Oklahoma come to mind. I know there has been others also.

That was 1985, and Memphis St. got the last Final Four spot. It was almost an all-Big East Final Four that year.................Memphis State knocked out Boston College on a buzzer beater in the Sweet Sixteen.

Halftime: Syracuse 38, Stephen F. Austin 22

 

[BillD1984]

Good game going on between Oklahoma State and Tennessee. The Cowboys are leading at the half, 38-34.

This was was one of my hardest games when I was filling out my bracket!

 

[BillD1984]

Kansas ahead of NDSU, 43-34 at the half.

Very even game. Hopefully Oklahoma St can pull it out.

North Dakota St is putting up a good fight against Kansas. Fun game to watch.

Great! A vote of confidence.

sweet I can get 2 High Quality feeds at once on my laptop and watch my local CBS HD and NY/SF SD on my distant locals! So far I have gotten all 4 games at a time.

On Dish the quality of WCBS on 243 is great but KPIX on 244 is really blurred.

Halftime: Marquette 26, Utah St. 18

I'm starting to think Sabres has an agenda against Michigan teams.

How many times has he posted that the Pistons are done? That the the Red Wings have no shot in the playoffs (that one cracks me up)? And he's made more than one derogatory remark about the Wolverines.

How about it Sabres, what do you have against Michigan?

Sabres is indeed becoming quite the little deviant lately. What's up with that Sabres?

 

[HD MM]

Don't forget about the comments on Michigan State and being a number 2 seed.

He's chastised the entire Big-10 before myself and Paul reamed him a new one. Remember when he said the Big-10 is always "un-athletic".

I have a Louisville vs. Memphis and UNC vs. Duke Final 4 for no other reason than to pit two very storied rivalries against eachother.

Man I have had the mute button going rapid these 2 days with all the same f**king commercials over and over and over and over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sounds like a BIG 10 game score.

This is a good one.

The worst was that friggin' Applebee's commercial they played during the tournament a couple of years ago.

Remember the one: it was a Gilligan's Island parody advertising Applebee's shrimp dinners.

OMFG!!!! I was going out of my freakin mind they played that thing so much!!

 

[BillD1984]

Some GREAT games going on right now!!! :up

Where is he today? Maybe he has class today.

 

[cybok0]

They gave the kid from Oklahoma St. a technical for hanging on the rim, that was ridiculous, he didn't hang too long.
