Meltdown. That was the exact word buzzing around my head as I watched the epic Arizona collapse.

That amazing three point shot at the buzzer by Kentucky to send the game into overtime against Michigan St. should have been a potential game winning four point play. The foul was clear.


Both these calls, or more specifically, one bogus call and one bogus non-call, lead directly to teams being eliminated from the tourney. Unacceptable.

Agreed! It was funny listening to Billy Packer count the steps. He kept coming to three even though I kept counting two. Horrible call.

And yes, that kid was fouled on the three - I thought he had the four point play to win as well.

Good thought, Sac.

Okay, loved Louisville's win......hated Duke's loss....found myself cursing for four days, and my Final 2 picks are still in--UNC and Illinois, UNC to win it all, dammit.

There were some awesome games! I'm nervous about the UNC/Michigan State match-up because Michigan State is so freaking scrappy and UNC did not look like a championship team yesterday.

I had to miss the Kentucky/M State game yesterday.....stupid Easter ;) . But I caught all the other games.

My husband was rooting for Arizona over Illinois, even though he had Illinois winning it all. Ugh. Once a Pac-tard, always a Pac-tard!!! :evil:

Still kicking myself for picking Wake over Louisville. Stupid Wake.

And Duke, WTF??? Gotta love all the people loving them going down in flames though......

Soooo.....I'm still in it!!

Carolina has to win tomorrow night. If they do, I win our pool, with only one bracket turned in. If Illinois wins, another guy wins the whole thing (one of three brackets).

Fingers are crossed.....and I'm so excited to watch!!! We had to miss the Saturday night game due to our auction commitment that night, but someone went out to his car to listen to the game and came and gave me the results. I then blew it for other people who were taping the game at home.....but damn, I was SO excited!!!

And so it ends - the UNC victory allows me a respectable 4th in the pool I run, thankfully beating my wife. That would have been horrible.

Baileykat 04-04-2005 10:05 PM

Congrats to Claire! And Leo! (4th and beating your wife is indeed respectable!)

We missed almost all of the game...I forgot. My bad!

We clicked in with 2 minutes left...but it was good enough for me!

We were pulling for UNC! Just cause I thought Illinois was getting a little cocky. (not that they didn't have a right to ...losing one game all year...not too shabby!)

I'm kinda sad it's all over!


Now I just have to root for the Baylor girls! Go Bears!

Claire 04-04-2005 11:09 PM

WooHoo!!! Go Heels!!!


:snap: :snap: :snap: :snap: :snap: :snap: :snap: :snap: :snap:

I cried....damn, I am so happy!! I'll be on a high for a while. I am so happy right now!
The money ($95) is just gravy, baby!!

I'm sad it's over, too. Now I just have to hold my breath to find out who is going to go pro and who will stay put.....

Well that sucked. One of my rites of spring was watching Roy Williams spit the bit come tourney time. Oh well, at least the Masters starts Thursday.
