March Madness Thread

[goldiewilson]

Do our fans go to other teams' boards after we win? Why do we attract these people?

Pretty sure XUbrew visits and posts on UD Pride. Pretty sure I am the only UD fan that posts here. Guess it's a tie.

[LadyMuskie]

Pretty sure I am the only UD fan that posts here.
Hardly. You're just the only one who hasn't gotten banned. . . yet.

[Masterofreality]

Typical Beaknose offense, depend on someone throwing in a 3. Down by 15 now.

I think he might be missing Jordan Sibert.

[XUFan09]

Brew has ties to Dayton through work and is also not your normal college basketball fan.

[BandAid]

Brew has ties to Dayton through work and is also not your normal college basketball fan.

And he's been doing it for years. This guy showed up a couple months ago.

[XU Cowbell Kid]

I'm not watching, but I just saw on the scores across the top that Nova is down early. Hopefully that changes quickly.

[GoMuskies]

Nova WTF?

[Retire33]

That first game after game with 16 seed is always toughest for one seeds

[Masterofreality]

DAMN it! C'mon Nova and GTown!!!

[xsteve1]

Nova better get their shit together and quick.

[BandAid]

They are not hitting anything. Missing wide open jumpers.

[xufan2020]

What do you guys think? BYU has had one hell of a run.

[LadyMuskie]

What do you guys think? BYU has had one hell of a run.

Cuz they're so much fun to watch.

[BandAid]

What do you guys think? BYU has had one hell of a run.

They sure are fun to watch. I have them in the National Title game!

[Xville]

Nova is in a lot of trouble...can't hit shots and this is why I was so concerned with them in the tourney. Way too reliant on outside shots.

[LadyMuskie]

What is VIllanova doing?

Are we going to have to carry another league in the tournament? Come on Nova!

[xsteve1]

Yeah don't think Nova is getting out of this one.

[paulxu]

Somebody tell Nova they're a damn 1 seed. Get this game.

[bjf123]

Not looking good for 'Nova


Golf is a relatively simple game, played by reasonably intelligent people, stupidly.

Georgetown shoots like shit.

[GoMuskies]

Hey Nova: stop blowing!

[LadyMuskie]

My love for the other teams in the Big East is beginning to dwindle. If we wanted to be the only one still playing ball in late March we could have stayed in the A10. What is going on? Come on, guys!

[xsteve1]

Like I thought if Nova can't make 3's they are pretty average.

[XU Cowbell Kid]

Georgetown shoots like shit.

Yet still shooting better than Villanova... at least for tonight.

[xsteve1]

Nova getting killed on the glass.

[bjf123]

They're missing bunnies like we do

Nova giving up offensive putbacks like its prom night.

[GoMuskies]

If they can't make threes, they're not average. They're garbage.

[GoMuskies]

That was embarrassing

[XU Cowbell Kid]

Just when you think they might get back into it, they give NC State... what... 6 chances?

[LA Muskie]

Abu is a beast.

[xsteve1]

NC State wants it more, pathetic.

[xsteve1]

This is done. Down freakin 9 to not a good NC. St.

[BandAid]

Abu is a beast.

They should foul him every time he touches the ball. Play hack-an-abu

[GoMuskies]

The good news is we can't beat Nova. So them being out would be helpful to our national title aspirations.

[XU Cowbell Kid]

I don't know if this was a one time thing or if it's been going on unnoticed all game, but NC State got the rebound, brought the ball up, dribbled at the three point arc a few times and the shot clock still said 35.

[paulxu]

28% from the field is not very good.

[GoMuskies]

Signs of life. Archidihoweveryouspellhisname has been awful tonight.

[RealDeal]

Choke. City.

[xsteve1]

Georgetown's probably going down as well. X may be the last one standing. League is going to get lit up by the media.

[paulxu]

Wofford beat NC State.

[xsteve1]

Hopefully Nova can somehow steal this.

[xsteve1]

Hopefully Nova can somehow steal this.

Nope, Choked.

[X Factor]

Wofford beat NC State.

So did Boston College and Wake Forest.

[paulxu]

They're about to crap my bracket up even worse than it already is.

[waggy]

DePaul beat Xavier.

[paulxu]

Hey...don't be wrecking my weekend.

[Masterofreality]

Nova cannot rebound.

13 offensive boards for NC State.

[xsteve1]

At least Hilliard is showing something.

[paulxu]

Dumb play with 20 seconds. Drive to tie, don't screw around looking for another 3.

[BandAid]

screw nova

[GoMuskies]

Over. Unreal.

[XU Cowbell Kid]

Hilliard is the only one that could hit the broad side of a barn.

[Strange Brew]

What a total choke job

[LA Muskie]

Nova busts all my brackets. Couldn't get boards. Couldn't get stops.

[XUFan09]

Damn, I thought that three for the lead was going in.

[Xville]

Wow embarrassing nova. Way to represent the big east and give the talking heads a chance to say I told you so.

[xsteve1]

State would be better off missing the second.

[Masterofreality]

Fuck Nova.

[X Factor]

That sucks...

[XU Cowbell Kid]

This is easily the most upset I've ever felt about basketball on a day that Xavier wins.

[xsteve1]

ACC is undefeated. And our best team loses to the worst NCAA ACC team. Hopefully Butler can take down ND to save face.

[BandAid]

Alright, next up. Georgetown: pull your heads out of your asses and put the peach in the basket.

[LadyMuskie]

ACC is undefeated. And our so-called best team loses to the worst NCAA ACC team. Hopefully Butler can take down ND to save face.

Fixed that for you.

[XUFan09]

Just flipped to the GT game. First thing to happen was a tournament update, with the lead-in line: "The upset of the tournament has happened!" Not either of the 14-3 upsets? Jerks.

[LadyMuskie]

I think a 1 seed not making it to the second weekend of play is the biggest upset thus far.

[DC Muskie]

ACC is undefeated. And our best team loses to the worst NCAA ACC team. Hopefully Butler can take down ND to save face.

Frustrating to say the least.

I hung out with a "GTown" fan tonight who had no idea that Xavier was in the same conference. Jesus.

On average, one 1 seed loses during the first weekend. A 14-3 is a lot more rare.

Government employee?

[paulxu]

I wanted the BE to do good so the ESPN asshats would have to eat it.

#1 Nova loses to a #8
#6 Providence loses to a #11
#9 St Johns loses to a #9

I can just hear them now.

[XUFan09]

On average, one 1 seed loses during the first weekend. A 14-3 is a lot more rare.
Exactly! That's why they're jerks! I admit, though, that the favorite runner-up losing is huge. I'm just pissed.

[Nigel Tufnel]

This is easily the most upset I've ever felt about basketball on a day that Xavier wins.

Man...I'm with you. I'm a little surprised at how devastated I am with that loss. I have seen that team play at least 15 times this year...and it was nothing like tonight. I'm seriously bummed. I thought with a hot (normal) Shooting night from 3, they could beat UK. I'm speechless. And depressed.

[Xville]

[QUOTE=paulxu;498054]I wanted the BE to do good so the ESPN asshats would have to eat it.

#1 Nova loses to a #8
#6 Providence loses to a #11
#9 St Johns loses to a #9

They are justified in what they have to say now....hopefully gtown and butler win to save some face, but nova losing is quite embarrassing.

[xufan2020]

This stretch of epic tournament failure reminds me of UC (1997-00,02)

[Masterofreality]

What happened to the Big East team's defense? Nova gave up 13 offensive rebounds.

GTown can't seem to stop Utah.

[Xavier]

Been saying all year I thought Big East was average. Really wanted to do some damage in the tournament to prove ourselves.....pathetic. Well, cheering for conferences just aren't worth it. Old big east choked a lot in tournament. Same story now....

Damn.

[BandAid]

screw you too georgetown

[Masterofreality]

F-ing Georgetown. Embarrassing.

[Xville]

Typical georgetown choking in the tourney. All the talking heads were right unfortunately. Again we have to carry an entire conference in the tournament. Hopefully at least butler can join us. What a pathetic performance by this conference as a whole.

[LadyMuskie]

And Trawick fouls out. Big surprise there.

[GoMuskies]

It's just going to be us from the Big East.

[boozehound]

Georgetown and Villanova can take turns blowing me. Fuck both of those assholes. 1 seed and a 4 seed and neither makes it out of the first weekend.

[LadyMuskie]

JTIII should get down on his knees and thank God that his father is who he is because without that name, he'd be unemployed.

[GoMuskies]

I was with you. Lots of pretty good teams, and I thought Nova was great. But just Nova. Oh well.

[LadyMuskie]

It's just going to be us from the Big East.

At least we're used to being the lone survivor from our league.

[BandAid]

I can't believe how hard I am about to cheer for Butler...

[sirthought]

So the A10 teams for the new Big East may be the only ones to move on?

[Xville]

Nova needs some beef, and georgetown and providence need to find some shooters. It's sad but when you really think about it, Xavier and butler are the most complete teams roster wise in the big east, the others all have a lot of rOster deficiencies

[Xavier]

Butler and Xavier carrying the Big East...imagine that 4 years ago

[BandAid]

I can't believe I'm cheering for Lena's brother to have a good game...

[Xavier]

Nova needs some beef, and georgetown and providence need to find some shooters. It's sad but when you really think about it, Xavier and butler are the most complete teams roster wise in the big east, the others all have a lot of rOster deficiencies

Nova is fine with there strategy imo. Rare everyone is off shooting, and when on they could beat anyone.

[LadyMuskie]

Nova is fine with there strategy imo. Rare everyone is off shooting, and when on they could beat anyone.

Nova hasn't made it past the first weekend since 2009. There's an issue there beyond having an off night.

[D-West & PO-Z]

I was wayy off on my predictions for BE. BE unfortuantely laid an egg, hope Butler can pull it out and get us 2 teams. I can already see it now if not. BE stinks, all their teams lost except XU who got a gift wrapped trip to Sweet 16 facing a 13 seed.

[XUFan09]

I can't believe how hard I am about to cheer for Butler...
No kidding.

[BandAid]

I hate Notre Dame's white players. They all look like pixies or some shit.

[BandAid]

They look like pre-op transvestites.

[RoseyMuskie]

I've cheered for Ohio St., Butler, and UC today. Bizzaro world.

[Xville]

Nova is fine with there strategy imo. Rare everyone is off shooting, and when on they could beat anyone.

Disagree..they are perennial underacheivers in march in recent history. It's been 6 years since they got out of the first weekend with favorable seeding in most cases. It's like hockey...you can be the best regular season team in the world but not be built for the playoffs...you need guys who are going to be the grinders and do the dirty work and they haven't had those guys for a while now....the last one they had was cunningham.

[GoMuskies]

This Butler game and Xavier's game with Arizona are the last chances for the Big East to beat a single digit seed. So far, only knocked off 11, 11, 13, 14 and 16 seeds.

[waggy]

Roosevelt Jones is not 100%.

[DART87]

I've cheered for Ohio St., Butler, and UC today. Bizzaro world.

LOL me too. March Madness indeed!

[RealDeal]

Well butler getting rolled...

[BandAid]

Xavier to Big East if butler loses:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsjoFZEwAyI

[Bearcat_Bounce]

Big East had a great day on Thursday. Hasn't been so good since. Xavier is a really solid (and dangerous for Arizona) team but if that is your only second weekend team that doesn't look good! Especially when they beat 11 and 14 to get there.

[BandAid]

Or maybe this:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHS_ntIvY4M

[BMoreX]

So we have to carry another conference.

Solid job other teams.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Dunham is the worst good player ever. He disappears in a lot of games, or at least it seems like it because we shut him down a lot.

[Xville]

Will they announce our game time in the morning or will they wait until Monday morning?

[Strange Brew]

Looking forward to you visiting the Cintas Center next year. Please try to keep Ellis out of prison.

[GoMuskies]

No idea, but I assume we will be the late game since Arizona is on Mountain time (not Pacific, right?).

[waggy]

Normally the higher seed would get the most rest. So Wisky first if they make it. But TV can change anything.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Almost no mention when the BE went 4-0 the first day and 4-2 overall in the first round but I have now heard at least 3 references about their bad day today. Ugh, we needed a much better showing as a conference.

[Xville]

No idea, but I assume we will be the late game since Arizona is on Mountain time (not Pacific, right?).

I think arizona is sometimes on pacific and sometimes mountain depending on daylight savings time. I could just be making that up but thought I heard that somewhere. I'm with ya though..I would think we would be the late game.

[BandAid]

Oh damn! I just said, "that's our ball" in reference to butler! I need to go to confession...

[GoMuskies]

Damn, Jones is awesome.

[BandAid]

So...everyone is talking about the ACC being undefeated thus far, but let's be honest: UNC's wins are going to get vacated.

[GoMuskies]

Yep. AZ doesn't do Daylight Savings Time so they're now on Mountain Daylight Time. In the winter, they're on Pacific Standard Time.

Absolutely. I agree.

That's because, like most GTown "fans" he/she doesn't pay attention until the NCAA's. At which point they assume they are favorites to win the NC because Patrick Ewing once played for them.

[XUFan09]

Absolutely. I agree.
Guys, just let me righteously upset in my alcohol!

...Okay, you're right.

[Bearcat_Bounce]

What about watching a person play basketball makes you think he is in jeopardy of going to prison? Why is this the go to comment for middle aged suburban males? I heard plenty of meth-head UK fans making the same comments today...do you really want to be on the same level as those clowns?

[XUFan09]

Butler is only down 2 at half while only attempting (and missing) 3 three-point attempts.

[LA Muskie]

Almost no mention when the BE went 4-0 the first day and 4-2 overall in the first round but I have now heard at least 3 references about their bad day today. Ugh, we needed a much better showing as a conference.
In their defense, it has been a pretty crappy day for the conference (our win notwithstanding). But a Butler win would help salvage it a bit. I agree, though, that a little mention of our first day (in particular) would have been nice.

[Bearcat_Bounce]

[D-West & PO-Z]

Butler hangin in there.

[D-West & PO-Z]

And takes the lead!

[LA Muskie]

Seems like this matchup was made for Roosevelt.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Butler really playing well right now.

[GoMuskies]

So much for the lead. Damn, that went quick.

[D-West & PO-Z]

That was a horrible foul call on Barlow

[BandAid]

The refs now turning their attention to butler. woof.

[GoMuskies]

How's that a foul on Barlow? !?

[XUFan09]

So much for the lead. Damn, that went quick.
Honestly, they had multiple shots drop off the rim after that while getting stops on the other end. Just couldn't take advantage.

[Strange Brew]

Refs have a hard on for the BE the last couple of days.

[BandAid]

Yup, notre dame can score in bunches. Butler has to continue to slug it out. Either that, or Dunham or Barlow could decide to hit an outside shot.

[D-West & PO-Z]

No stops in a while.
When ND doesn't get the first shot, they get the offensive rebound.

[Strange Brew]

wait, nice shot Leena

[D-West & PO-Z]

I just have a feeling that Mike Brey blows this. His players might overcome him though.

[XUFan09]

When ND doesn't get the first shot, they get the offensive rebound.
Then they get the stop and go with a Woods' hook shot?!

[XUFan09]

Man, I wish Xavier got Demetrius Jackson.

[GoMuskies]

Woods should not shoot anymore unless it's a put back.

[XUFan09]

Woods should not shoot anymore unless it's a put back.
Or a dump-off layup, agreed.

Fantastic rebounder, though.

[GoMuskies]

Did anyone else hear the announcer talk about Butler playing in the A-10 for years? Try year buddy. Nice research.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Terrible!!! WOW

[XUFan09]

Dunham just cannot create space without a push-off.

[GoMuskies]

Seriously refs? Wow.

[D-West & PO-Z]

The one ref was about to point that way, and the other called jump cause he didnt know.

[Section 200]

At least they didnt blow it after reviewing it.

[Strange Brew]

How the F did they miss that in real time??

[D-West & PO-Z]

Have to get a good shot here.

[Strange Brew]

Butler not in the bonus?

[BMoreX]

Go butler

Ugh

[BandAid]

Com'n Butler, get yourself a game winner!

[D-West & PO-Z]

I thought that was going to be bonus, he had to have known they had one to give or that would have been a horrendous foul.

On second thought it still was because now they can have last shot.

[XUFan09]

Damn, Butler isn't in bonus.

[xsteve1]

Go butler

Ugh

Yeah their fans are jerks but the league needs this.

[GoMuskies]

That year felt like years to me!

Good point. That year sucked. But only about half as much as I expected it to.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Damn, Butler isn't in bonus.

Last shot now though. Shot clock off.

[D-West & PO-Z]

WOW!!! Double dribble!

[Strange Brew]

Holy heck. Can't believe they called that

[D-West & PO-Z]

Great call though.

dunham or barlow

[D-West & PO-Z]

Did that cheerleader get Butler an extra shot by catching the ball? Would the clock have run out if they waited for the ball to hit the ground?

Yeah think so, ha. He also gave the ND player a little shove or at least shrugged him off.

[KabeX]

That kid has some good hair. And a better shooting stroke.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Jones has been awesome. On a bad knee too.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Cmon Barlow, isnt he the smart scrappy white guy?? And thats 5????? Man rough.

Fuck, Barlow is out.

[KabeX]

Wow. Barlow gone. We'll see how the dawgs respond.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Jones playing point.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Good call, definitely foul on Grant.

[XUFan09]

Fuck, Barlow is out.
Can Tyler Lewis regain eligibility a little early?

[D-West & PO-Z]

Chrabs with some big FTs

[D-West & PO-Z]

Barlow out kills Butler defensively.

[KabeX]

Big time shot.

[XUFan09]

Big time shot.
Over the long Kameron Woods too.

[KabeX]

Thought that was Bad Dunham but he got the call

[D-West & PO-Z]

This has to be agonizing for Barlow.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Damn

[KabeX]

Oh My!

[Strange Brew]

This has to be agonizing for Barlow.

As agonizing as watching a UC grad take a math test?

[XUFan09]

The whole possession, Dunham was playing too far off him.

[KabeX]

Great game no matter the outcome.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Dagger

[KabeX]

That Grant kid is pretty good

[D-West & PO-Z]

Shit

[coasterville95]

Not looking good. Thanks for nothing, all you inferior Big East teams.

[BandAid]

screw you too, butler.

[waggy]

Jones D would have been a lot better if he wasn't hurt.

[KabeX]

Tough day for the BE. Not sure I would trade it, however, since the New Freakin Flagship was victorious.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Yeah but at least Butler made our conference look respectable taking a very good ND team to OT and almost winning. If I am a Butler fan it sucks but I am not mad, they gave it all they had.

[GoMuskies]

Thanks for covering the spread on that meaningless dunk. Otherwise, thanks for nothing.

Completely up to Xavier. Wow.

[KabeX]

Yep. They played a gutsy game. And that coach of theirs ... he's pretty good too.

Jay Wright is going to have to start recruiting some big's. Just too difficult to overcome off shooting nights without any inside guys.

[RoseyMuskie]

Well, lesson learned. Always cheer for Butler, Georgetown, and Villanova. They'll lose in the process.

On a positive note, I would like to see that Flagship Boat resurrected.

[XU 87]

Jay Wright is going to have to start recruiting some big's. Just too difficult to overcome off shooting nights without any inside guys.

Yep. Come March, you need to be able to throw the ball inside to get some easy buckets. Nova shot 32% from the field, got out rebounded 45-32, and was -20 for points in the paint. Lack of interior game.

[XUFan09]

Yeah but at least Butler made our conference look respectable taking a very good ND team to OT and almost winning. If I am a Butler fan it sucks but I am not mad, they gave it all they had.
Yep. I'd say Butler's ceiling was beating Notre Dame in a tight game and they fell just short of it.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Wow Brey lost his mom to heart attack this morning. didnt hear that until just now.

Wow Brey lost his mom to heart attack this morning. didnt hear that until just now.

Shockers/Jayhawks now a pick 'em in Vegas. Should be fun.

[XUFan09]

Refs are blowing the whistle almost every time down the court in this UVA/Mich State game.

[XUFan09]

Mich State is going to beat UVA. That region just got ripped apart in the span of 15 hours.

I guess UVA was overrated too /sarcasm

[DC Muskie]

I guess UVA was overrated too /sarcasm

Obviously.

A mini rant here...

What I hate about the tournament is people yelling about where people are seeded. I guess Michigan State was under-seeded. Why? Because they played well in a conference tournament that featured Purdue, Indiana, and Ohio State.

Virginia has a great season, but now they lost. Are they now unworthy of being a second seed?

This type of discussion just takes away from the actual play of the tournament.

[Xavgrad08]

UVA is really good defensively, but they have to find a way to score the ball. I never would have guessed Michigan State would be in the sweet sixteen. Congratulations to Tom Izzo.

UVA is really good defensively, but they have to find a way to score the ball. I never would have guessed Michigan State would be in the sweet sixteen. Congratulations to Tom Izzo.

Izzo gets his team going this time of year. I picked them over UVA and I'm posting it here.... because its about the only damn thing I have right other than Xavier.

Shockers/Jayhawks now a pick 'em in Vegas. Should be fun.

Are you in your chair at the MGM sports bar?

I thought you were going to see this game in person.

I'm in Wichita. So neither of the super fun options.

I'm assuming this applies to life in general?

The New Big East has yet to win a tournament game against a single digit seed. Nova really crapped the bed.

The ACC hasn't had a Final Four participant since 2010.

They did, indeed. Now it's time for us to take down a 2 seed and clean up their mess. Not the bed sheets... wait, Snipe is doing laundry!

I have children, so I may as well live somewhere boring. And cheap follows boring!

Good point!

Right now Wichita State is handing it to Kansas....

...a whipping that is.

[D-West & PO-Z]

Would love a Wichita win here. Have them in my Elite 8.

This Shockers team is a lot of fun to watch. (And they are actually good.)

Tons in our legal department (including my boss). Don't think there are any Mormon Shockers though.

Read Bill Self's lips......

Read Bill Self's lips......

Did he say, "damn Mormons?"

Did he say, "damn Mormons?"

He said, "man they are fun to watch"

Will they announce our game time in the morning or will they wait until Monday morning?

They'll wait until all the pairings are known (maybe later tonight). You would think the late game because of Arizona, but they may want to put Wisc-UNC in the later prime rating spot.
