that KU player who dunked instead of running out the clock would have been horse-whipped if that 3-pointer went.
Exactly my point. UNC fans are always glass half empty.

Actually, I agree with you I think on the not playing. The only way I think a player should play is if the team, the doctor and the player all agree that he should play. Any of the 3 should have a veto on playing.

well, you're probably right if a player being able to play would be a liability, Spacer. I can't see the player overruling the coach on that one. I'm sure that was Pitino's thinking since as UK coach, he certainly was a win-at-all-costs leader.

That was a dumb play by the FSU guard. You don't assume that they will call a foul. Bounce the damn ball

plus he keeps making layups when they're down 6. and that has been a trend in this tourney, teams shooting 2s when they're down 5-6 points in the final minute. shoot the 3, dumbasses

Time for Barnes to step up, Magic Johnson style. If he's really the all-world player some people think he is, he needs to show that he can dribble and pass. We're counting on ye, Harrison...

I agree with that D-Toot guy, i saw the Henson hissy fit and it was womanly for sure. Dude held the ball out like a moron and then went into histrionics when everyone slapped at it. And it was hesitant, half-hearted slapping at it, not contender big boy slapping at it. Henson eyes were all vivica fox crazy and shit.

I have no idea what hoops team that D-Toot dude is for, as he hasnt seen fit to list it, which i thought was a requirement here, but he's right about Henson....

I feel a little bad for the USF Gumbies losing, but not re the Nolies. Fsu was the biggest over-seed botch of this year's tourney committee.

Who's your final four from the sixteen remaining?

Mine Kentucky, Michigan State, Cincinnati, and North Carolina State.

Kentucky and MSU walk in.

Write it down UC beats THE Ohio State. The white livered piss running down their legs sorry bastards will never play UC during the season. They'll pay for it now. That momentum will carry through UC to beat the seriously weakened Syracuse.

Yes I think Kansas is not that good. Purdue should have won last night. NCST seems to be a team on a mission. The Tarheels have more than enough firepower left to squash little Ohio U but the injuries will catch up to them against the Wolfpack.

Catspause is saying that Marshall will require surgery on his wrist.
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Having watched two separate Kenny Frease games this weekend, I now have a better understanding of why Yancy Gates went Piston Honda on him. What a goon.

I restate what I said last night: no way can Kendall Marshall play with any effectiveness this weekend. He'll 100 percent need to be wearing a cast on his wrist. Given that it's his scaphoid and not the actual arm bone (the more common break in younger people), it's not going to heal particularly swiftly. Still, UNC should be able to gut out Ohio (who needed a 'hanging on the rim' technical to win the USF game). KU, on the other hand, is a loss without Marshall.

By the by, has anybody noticed the quality of offense, in general, has been horrid this tournament? It's like first team to 60 wins.

I would think the average score is closer to 70 than 60, and that doesnt seem all that far off from normal
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.
