2009 Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament

Carolina looked good today. I think they hammer LSU with or without Lawson. And congratulations to Tyler Hansbrough the new all time leading scorer in ACC history! Good to erase a dookie from the history books.

Good win by Maryland. You never know which Maryland team will show up. Cal saw the good Maryland today. I think the Terps will give Memphis all they can handle Sat.

When UConn faced Albany in 2006, they led by one point at halftime; today, they had a 28-point halftime lead.

this is a few years old; however, still interesting:

According to that, UConn's win today was the third most-lopsided game in tournament history.

Here's how dominant Carolina was over Ranfod:

They could have played the entire game blindfolded and still won by 20.

I thought the record was for only ACC games; oh well, Tyler will be a bust in the NBA unless he works out and gains weight this summer!

add it to the books then; games such as this make me leery though; i can see them winning like this and then having problems the next nite; be interesting to see how they respond now

You wish. BTW go Binghamton! Let's see if they can do what Belmont almost did last year.

Hey Ramy, I've seen some rumors the BG is out after the NIT. Have you heard anything?

I doubt he is. He would be owed 6 millions dollars and UK isn't going to pay that when they have asked departments to cut back.

I am 7 for 7 today so far. Whoooo Hooooo!

I will be worried for a few minutes until I can see Duke can "handle" them

Cal/Maryland is my only setback so far.

I'm 5 for 7, losing on Butler and BYU.

Anders,

in terms of Tar Heel big men, how does Hansbrough compare to others? (i.e. the two big guys from their 2005 title and others)

 

[BillD1984]

FWIW, we still have three people with perfect brackets in the Sat Guys pool, and all three have Mississippi State advancing.

That's like asking to choose which child you love more. They're all great. Sean May was a stud, and we also had Antawn Jamison, Rasheed Wallace, James Worthy, etc. Hansbrough has a unique game. He doesn't have as much raw talent as those other guys, but he's every bit as effective. How many other big men are 80% FT shooters? Hansbrough is a testament to hard work and fundamentals.

Halftime: Washington 38, Mississippi State 27

Good I have the Huskies going to elite 8 and a lot of people were on the Mississippi St bandwagon after they won the SEC Tournament. If UCLA can avoid the "obvious" upset tonight, I'll be feeling real good.

 

[Mets82]

I had Miss. St. going to the elite 8. I AM SCREWED!!!
