NCAA Tourney - greatest sporting event in the world - Page 4

The tournament is typically like this, certainly. On any given weekend during the college season yo'll have your ugly blowouts and incredible games, just like with any other sport. I just prefer the intensity of the college athlete to the pro.

You have picked a good time to pick it up. If you really want to get hooked, next year, if there are any first/second round tournament games near you, go.

Hey Moonliner - were you watching tonight?

Regarding that OT game between BC and Nova - when you are defending a baseline inbounds, and you are on the ball, your first job is to ensure that the inbounder cannot pass the ball across the lane. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. Big gack.

Great game but, damn, is there a more unacceptable gaffe than the dreaded layup off a baseline inbounds pass? The BC kids have got to be physically ill right about now.

And they should be. It wasn't like someone hit a great, well defended shot. They just gacked.

The other thing that would make me sick if I were on the BC team? They were 8/17 from the line. Under 50% and lose by 1 in OT. Ouch.

Nope, well a little. The TV was co-op'ed by a viewing of a certain Mr. Potter tonight. Bleh.

The indignity. A man de-remoted. In my house, I OWN the remote. Get some pants.

(Just not too loud, I don't want to wake the wife or kids)

In our house, the main tv is run by the Kid. She's the only one who knows which remote goes to what and how to use them.

I own the remote.

Because I do.

More great ball. I can not recall so many overtime games in a tourney before. That Texas/LSU game was fun to watch. How do you defend someone who is 6-9, 310 lbs, that oves like he's 210 lbs? That guy is a monster.

Some people probably found the UCLA/Memphis game to be boring, but I love defense. I love that UCLA just smothered them. Of course, I've never been a John Calipari fan (Memphis coach).

By the way, Washington was robbed the other day. UConn should not have won that game. That late missed goal tending call was huge.
