Okay, so within 1 hour of my house, I could be standing on the campuses of 4 ACC schools, but I have always been a fan of Syracuse basketball for some reason or another... Needless to say, I am a bit depressed this season, even though it seems we COULD be on the verge of another 20-win season.
Who is everyone else pulling for?
I know this thread is so late that it is actually only about 3 or so weeks early for "March Madness," but the pissing contest in the NFL playoffs thread is getting old, so I think it is time for some change of attention.
Also noteworthy is the fact that Duke/Carolina is tomorrow and it is not exactly looking good for the heels if Ty Lawson doesn't play.

Let's talk basketball

*ManoNegra* · 02-05-2008, 01:15 PM

UCLA, nuff said. I wish I had more time to follow college hoops though. I usually get into once March Madness gets here.

**Phlip** · 03-22-2008, 09:07 PM

Duke went down today and I love that fact.
Currently, UCLA is having trouble with Texas A&M

ALTRNTV · 03-22-2008, 09:15 PM

UCLA.

They're usually like this. Always push it harder at the end
of the game... to win.

KiLLeR2001 · 03-22-2008, 09:35 PM

I love watching NCAA basketball; way more enjoyable then NBA games.

But my damn fighting illini aren't even in March Madness this year

I'll never forget the '04-'05 season where they almost won it all (FUCKING UNC!)

And who can forget their greatest game of all time against Arizona in the elite eight. Comeback of the century!

^^ For those who've never seen it... Still gives me chills to this very day.

WERDdabuilder · 03-22-2008, 09:43 PM

UCLA pulled it off. great game. blocks all day errrday.

ALTRNTV · 03-22-2008, 09:44 PM

What an ending............

SimpleS14 · 03-22-2008, 09:45 PM

Georgetown and UCLA....one for each coast

**Phlip** · 03-23-2008, 05:13 PM

Davidson takes down Georgetown, looks like they've gotten lucky at the hands of the selection committee, as they got 2 games 2 hours from their campus, now they get to go play less than an hour from it.
Someone is looking at this one like "damn, we fucked up"

S13_Nightkid · 03-23-2008, 09:10 PM

^^^that one got me. Stephen Curry w/25 points in the 2nd half. wtf he only scored 5 in the 1st...smh...

**Phlip** · 03-29-2008, 09:15 PM

UCLA and UNC in the Final 4 so far... Everyone else decided tomorrow.
Word on the street is that this Tyler Hansbrough kid is pretty good, lol.
Seriously, if UNC wins, Hansbrough rakes player of the year AND Most Outstanding Player, he'd be stupid to not go on to the league.

ALTRNTV · 03-31-2008, 12:32 AM

Final Four
(1)Memphis vs (1)UCLA
(1)UNC vs (1)Kansas

My predictions:
NCAA Championship game
(1)UCLA vs (1)UNC

WERDdabuilder · 03-31-2008, 12:54 AM

first time in ncaa history all 4 teams are #1 seeds?

**Phlip** · 03-31-2008, 07:39 AM

How huge will it be when Carolina plays UCLA in the championship game?

when? are you confident that it will happen?

I dunno...Kansas has some pretty good offense.

Ideally, I would like to see UNC vs. UCLA in the final and have UCLA win (i know you might be going for UNC).

**Phlip** · 03-31-2008, 08:44 AM

Yes, I am confident it can happen.
Kansas would be in a special brand of trouble if they try to dare Carolina to outscore them. The game will fall to the hands of defense. I've always been a Syracuse fan, but since they lost out of the NIT I am forced to follow my family ties and pull for Carolina.

SHIFT_*grind* · 03-31-2008, 08:49 AM

U N C

yudalicious · 03-31-2008, 12:46 PM

memphis and kansas in the finals, with kansas taking it all. Sorry UNC fans, I personally think Kansas will take it, unless they get complacent like they do alot. But hopefully after the Davidson scare they'll realize that they can't get away with only playing half the game.

edit: I personally think the key will be ty lawson, and kansas has the players to give him pressure and trouble.

ALTRNTV · 03-31-2008, 01:00 PM

Kansas should have lost that game to Davidson.
Poor decision making for Davidson on the last
possession.

**Phlip** · 03-31-2008, 01:07 PM

^^^ Agreed, and I am thinking that the possibility of what a Mid Major from a city with less than 7500 residents, not the memory of it on the minds of the Kansas players will play into the hands of their opponents. Keep in mind that Carolina is a very hard team to adjust to, they've shown that they can win when they need to play defense, they've REALLY shown that they can win when they need to pin 100 on you.
One of my exes' younger brother walked onto the team at Davidson in 2002, I should have called him last week to get his take on it.

**Phlip** · 04-01-2008, 09:52 AM

Does anyone notice that on ESPN, whenever they're talking about college ball and Bob Knight has the floor, EVERY shuts the fuck up and no one even TRIES to disagree with him? No one even tries to offer a counterpoint when he takes a break in the conversation. I love that someone has finally shut that fucking Dick Vitale up.

ALTRNTV · 04-01-2008, 12:42 PM

I love how Dick Vitale talks though.
"Ohhhhh babbbyyyyyyy"

I don't know who I hate worse when calling a basketball game; Dick Vitale, Billy Packer or Hubie Brown.

lol, yeah I noticed that. Nobody cuts him off, they let make sure he finishes his thoughts. Bet the seats in the studio are bolted to the floor.

*ManoNegra* · 04-03-2008, 01:55 PM

lol.. funny ass articles Phlip... some good points, Love vs Hansbrough would be a killer match up but I don't want to get ahead of myself. Phoenix is better with Shaq...!?

**Phlip** · 04-03-2008, 02:09 PM

I think it is more the issue that Shaq is better in Phoenix than Phoenix being better with Shaq. Western conference bigs will wear his ass out when he MUST play a playoff team every night in the playoffs, but that is another thread.
His points made were actually damn good though.

*ManoNegra* · 04-03-2008, 02:23 PM

his analogies were cool... I give Shaq about half a season more before he becomes his fat lazy old self again.

**Phlip** · 04-03-2008, 02:27 PM

I give Shaq until the Suns' playoff exit this year... He'll show up to training camp late with one of those "fat people" injuries and play very sparingly as a result, they will REALLY miss Shawn Marion.

ALTRNTV · 04-03-2008, 04:20 PM
