Baylor pushes their lead to 10 at the half

and Washington is doing a nice job of filling my Montana-sized hole in the Sweet 16 that no one picked.

Don't worry, I at one point had New Mexico losing in the championship game to Georgetown.

I am so glad I didn’t go through with that bracket.

Buffalo presser with CMA & the seniors

They are all full of the funny today.

Q. Even back to your time with Coach Richardson, whether it be a kid taking a long time to tie his shoe or officials needing to beckon people out of time-outs, what are some of the things specifically you’ve seen from other teams to sort of kind of slow the game down?

How is the Louisville press? Better than ours?

Q. Darryl, can you talk a little — they’re a pressing team, they’re a frenetic team. How prepared are you guys for this? From what I gather earlier in the season you saw something like that from Cleveland State. You guys have been working on it ever since; is that correct?

DARRYL BRYANT: We played against Louisville. A pressing team. It’s the same thing. I have to take care of the ball, me and Da’Sean and Devin. That’s who is taking care of the ball. We have to try to play a half-court game and try to slow the game down.

by tigers and chiefs fan on Mar 20, 2010 5:46 PM CDT reply actions  

I think part of that chaos comes from our continued hunger to steal the ball even after

the other team can bring the ball into the frontcourt. We have extremely active hands, much more active than other pressing teams. Basically, our system extends further than just pressing in the backcourt.

I think there is no doubt that Cal and Washington were underseeded.

But I think the Pac-10 as a whole is pretty much a mid-major (but not at a real low level) because there isn’t much depth.

Unfortunately, it's just out-of-bounds and UNI ball.

Should have been a foul though. However, the rule is that Cole Aldrich cannot get more than one foul in a big game.

It's not an official thing

But when you make contact by going over someones back with your body, it’s a foul that everyone calls over the back.

by joker24 on Mar 20, 2010 6:34 PM CDT up reply actions  

yeah, but reaching over someone

isn’t the same as a foul. He did contact, but did he do so in a manner that quantifies a foul? I honestly don’t think he did.

Go BYU, go Wake

I want complete freaking chaos. Picking Kansas to win the National Title was the ultimate hedge. I couldn’t lose! (I also didn’t bet on my bracket because of a lack of confidence)

by danman31 on Mar 20, 2010 7:31 PM CDT reply actions  

I couldn't bring myself to pick KU to even go to the Final Four.

So my bracket is still pretty good, losing just one Elite Eight team and all 4 semifinalists in. I want UK to win it all for my bracket.

from over at TBL

HERE

These are probably the five biggest upsets in NCAA Tournament history (no order):
Villanova beating Georgetown in the 1985 Championship game
Northern Iowa beating Kansas in the 2nd round in the 2010 NCAA Tournament
NC State beating Houston in the 1983 Championship game
George Mason beating Connecticut in the Elite 8 of the 2006 NCAA Tournament
UAB beating Kentucky in the 2nd round of the 2004 NCAA Tournament

The three non-title games were all mid-majors beating the No. 1 overall seed.

More from The Dagger
Dagger contributor Chris Chase said this: “Bill Self’s KU teams have been victims of the biggest upset in three of the last six NCAA tournaments.”
It’s true. Kansas was the 13th No. 1 to lose in the second round since the field expanded in 1985 and the first to do so since Kentucky got boat-raced by UAB in 2004. The three-second round exits came in 2010, 1998 and 1992. AND Kansas was knocked out by another Missouri Valley team-Bradley-earlier this decade in a 13-over-4 upset special.
And yet, we remained stunned every time when something like this happens because we allow ourselves to be fooled into thinking No. 1 seeds are cemented in to the second weekend.

I think we do it because, in the back of our minds, we want to be surprised, shocked, tricked, duped into this kind of upset. It makes the experience that much better and memorable.

I hope the pros realize Henry isn't very good and he drops to the second round.

Meanwhile, some team sees how clutch Zaire Taylor is and he’s taken in the second round and goes on a long pro career where he shoots 97shots and makes 97 shots, all game-winners at the buzzer.
