So who's your final four? - Page 12

Those games could be two of the biggest meltdowns I've ever seen. Well, maybe not W Va, as Louisville just started to play, but for AZ to get outscored 17-3 in the last 3 minutes to go to OT had to be the biggest. And then I have no idea what their timeout was for with 11 seconds left - what a horrid shot to end the game. I don't fault the coaches - that was a kid that gacked and wanted to win it by himself - no idea how much time was on the clock, nothing. You've got to shoot with at least 5 on the clock to give yourself the chance for the O board, which they got, but there was no time left. That guy will be thinking about that for a long time.

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

Craptacular call of the weekend #1:

The traveling call on Villanova at the end of the North Carolina game. If you're gonna make that call at crunch-time, then you better call traveling the other 20 times it happens per game.

Craptacular call of the weekend #2:

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!!!

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......

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!!!

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.....
