    I want UCLA to win the whole damn thing simply because every "expert" said they had no business being in the tournament.

    Of course Nova lost. Philly sports curse continues. Gonna have to hold on to the 2008 Phillies for the rest of my life I'm guessing.

    I rest my case with Nova's loss. There's Kentucky and then there's nothing but mediocre teams with good records because everyone else is just horrible.

    another tourney and another choke by nova. how many more times is jay wright going to get away with this ?

    As long as he gets them to the tourney, he'll probably get as many chances as necessary. But if they keep going in as #1 or #2 and lose, his time is short.

    the issue is he recruits kids that play a finese game. outside shootters or slashers. that can win a lot of games in today's big east but when nova plays a team with an inside presence on offense and can defend the perimeter, they get sent home.

    The last 4 attempts in the Elite 8 has resulted in 4 losses for Arizona by a total of 7 points. Arizona lost by 1 to Wisconsin last year. Huge game for Sean Miller at AU today against one damn good Badgers team.

    What a classic that ND-KY game was. The Fighting Irish were so close to an epic upset.

    Agree. But surprising how Kentucky demonstrated such poise and never did panic. Kudos to Calipari.

    Yeah that was a great game and looking forward to State/Louisville later.
