You know when you think about it.. Florida had a piss easy road to the Final Four..

The overall #1 seed should have the easiest path to the Final Four, but Pitt and UCLA are no push overs. But yeah, we definitely got pretty lucky with Cuse and Kansas going down.
 
I dunno, I think Florida got a pretty tough region. Not their fault that Kansas and Syracuse lost.

Arizona has definitely had it easier.
 
worst case: blown Achilles
best case: severe ankle sprain

For WCS sake alone, I hope with all that I can he didnt blow it, a great guy and tremendous athlete. Either way we are getting to the Final Four without him, I just hope this doesnt impact him long term.

Be safe everyone in Lexington, they interupted KSR with a police scanner message saying that there was a man with an assault rifle on the street

I thought UVA was legit.

UVa was spectacular on defense most of the game, but ice cold shooting and MSU's experience did them in. You can live with giving up 16 to a lottery pick, but Dawson absolutely killed us. gg MSU.

And FUCK the TBS studio crew for not even watching the game and crediting MSU's guard play for the win. Embarrassing.
 
I think Michigan has a decent shot if they clean up their sloppy play that they had against Tennessee. If they commit as many turnovers as they did near the end then they have no hope.

GO BLUE. NOT THE PRETENDER BLUE.
 
UConn couldn't miss, we couldn't make free throws, and the refs were leaning UConn. Change any of those three and there's a different outcome. Helluva season for my boys tho.
 
UK and Cal would be absolutely crucified in the press if this was happening there..

I expect it to be a total non story though.

Rumor is the reinjury wasn't real and he was kicked off at the same time as Behanan but they kept him on medical redshirt to avoid the bad press.

That's what I heard also, and you're right, Cal gets shit on every time a player leaves and the story is always that he is "kicking them out and recruiting over them". Meanwhile Indiana fans talk about their defections and use "recruiting over them" as if it's a good thing. Blows my mind.

Pitino handled that pretty well.

That's definitely changed since last season at this point. People are pretty mad about the players leaving this season (except Hollowell) and the fact that Creek & Abell got forced out.
 
So let's get this straight:

1st round: national TV
2nd round: national TV
Sweet 16: national TV
Elite 8: cable.

wtf?

The two Sunday Elite 8 games are on CBS. The TV deal must have said that Turner gets half of the games in the Sweet 16 and Elite 8, and they chose to have each channel get one day for the Elite 8, instead of one game on each channel each day.

wtf?
Just wait till the final four(this year) or NC next year

The answer is simple:$$$$$$$ the way CFB BCS(and now playoff) was sent to cable just shows you the NCAA gives no fucks other than who us willing to pay the most
 
Scottie Wilbeken reminds me a little of Russ Smith. Not in play style, but being tiny as shit and still good. Gets the most out of his talent.
