LOL just realized Larry Eustachy is the coach of Colorado State. Well I knew it before, but just noticed it more because of this:

You about to learn real quick. We're going to send you back to fucking CSU sorority girls son.

That wasn't a diss. He was saying he knows nothing about them because they are two teams across the country from each other and he has one day to prepare.

Larry joked with the announcers like that the night they won by saying he felt the flu coming on and he was going to call in sick Saturday because he didn't want to play Louis.

Larry is a funny guy and I was glad to see him get the win over Mizzou (where he got in trouble for drinking with the students.)
 
Florida Gulf Coast University putting the country on notice.

La Salle did one earlier today too. This tournament has had some crazy upsets. Much better than the last few years where the higher seed was always advancing.
 
I felt a great disturbance in the Force... as if millions of brackets suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened...
 
Can anyone else see the uncanny resemblance of this guy

And hey! I wouldn't say the rest of those Merica 12 teams are horrible! And the difference in CUSA is that it is at least a 4 bid league once UL leaves. The current CUSA is usually a 1 bid and maybe 2 bid league in a conference tourney upset year.

SMU is on a really good pathway too I think.
 
I just read this meltdown from one of the New Mexico Rivals beat writers. As pissed as I can be at Duke basketball, they still win most of the time and I'm not sure I'd want to drop it after 30 some odd years. Salt for you

I really thought that the University of New Mexico finally had a men's basketball team that earned the loyalty of their fans.

I was wrong.

I've been around Lobo basketball for 33 seasons. For 32 of those seasons, I knew that UNM had a team that could fold and lose to anyone at any time. I never got my expectations too high because a collapse was possible anytime they walked out on that floor.

I thought this team was different. I was convinced that this Lobo team was for real. It had experience, a good front line and a good backcourt and good chemistry and was smart.

I was wrong.

The main difference between these Lobos and the others who fell flat was that the 2012-13 team played defense. New Mexico forced opponents to take bad shots and actually guarded. This team had real potential.

I was wrong.

This was a team that had the MWC Player of the Year in Kendall Williams and the MWC Tournament MVP in Tony Snell and two big men who had been outstanding at times and a point guard who had developed quickly. I never expected the Player of the Year to be absolutely invisible when he was needed most or that the tournament MVP couldn't hit a 3-pointer on a bet.

I was wrong.

I thought this team had accomplished something by winning the Mountain West Conference during the regular season and in the tournament. A win over UNLV on its home floor was impressive. Beating San Diego State and Colorado State and Boise State was the sign of success because the conference and these teams were so good.

I was wrong.

Now, the mighty MWC is 1-3 in the NCAA, and has not lost to any team seeded above a 13. It's not like they lost to Indiana or Louisville or even Georgetown or Michigan State. No, the losses were to the traditional powerhouses of LaSalle, California and Harvard. The league I thought was so good turns out to be so bad.

I was wrong.

I was disappointed when New Mexico was seeded a lowly third. I truly believed UNM would prove the committee wrong and thought that going to the Final Four was a realistic possibility. This was going to be the Year of the Lobo. New Mexico was finally going to get the credit, the respect and the attention it deserved.

I was wrong.

I thought that coach Steve Alford and athletic director Paul Krebbs were smart to announce a new 10-year contract the day before the Lobos started their march through the NCAA. No one would complain about the big dollars because UNM was on the road to glory.

I was wrong.

But I won't be wrong again. It was a lot easier to take when expectations were lower. Losing was acceptable because UNM had almost always lost when it really counted. You didn't have visions of greatness, only to have them dashed. After the pitiful performance UNM put up against a team that doesn't even offer scholarships, I've given up. Having all five starters back next season means nothing on a team that can just disappear like that. I'd be back to wondering when it would collapse, have a terrible game and lose to an inferior team again.

No, I've had it. I've been to my last Lobo basketball game after covering the team for much of the last 33 years.

Good-bye Lobo basketball.
 
God, Notre Dame's uniforms are too hideous. I give up, my eyes can't handle this game.

The colors would be rough enough, but the zubaz shorts push it into horror territory.

I like the colors actually.

Its the zubaz shit that throws it off for me. Either get rid of it or at the least use that pattern for the tops too. It just looks like everyone brought the wrong tops. So I guess its the mismatched look that really bothers me.
