COOOOOOOOLD-BLOOOOOOOODDDDDED!!!!
Actually .3 seconds. Almost a let-down, but they don't care.
Did he just say.. Duke-Louisville.. in '92? ..........
I do believe he did!
I picked Miami, but that was awesome.
AND OF COURSE LOYOLA WINS? WHY WOULDNT THEY?
WHY AM I TYPING IN ALL CAPS?!
BECAUSE ITS MADNESS!
That was incredibly cheap by the Miami player to flop there, and if there were any justice in the world, he'd have been T'ed up for it. I'm just glad the official didn't buy it. Disgraceful.
I love the blatant "let's take a dive and see if they call it" desperation play for Miami. You have to try, but Teddy V isn't here to make it work.
miami screwed my bracket but seton hall and osu look like they will both win so i'll improve a little.
that fits...Loyola-Chicago, that is.
Loyola-Chicago!
My bracket going to hell in record time.
"Problem" is that OSU is playing 4-on-5 on offense. Dakich hiding in the corner, more or less.
It's not a problem for me, though. Go SoDakSt! :)
Dakich apparently paid attention in practice at Michigan. He's actually having a pretty good game -- defensively, anyway. He's taken two charges and gotten a couple of steals as well.

wow OSU in trouble, Tate fouls out with almost 3 min left
Live look at MIke Daum.
Don't go out in the first round.
What the hell is wrong with you?
I have them going out to Gonzaga? Ease Up. My avatar checks out.
I stand by my take. Nobody cares about your bracket but you. (Nobody at all cares about my bracket).
Cheering for OSU just because you picked them? Not cool.
It's not cheering. It's simply asking them not to lose. at. this. point.
I routinely do this for most any B1G team that looks like they are about to embarass the league. It's not a cheer.
As an example after we beat OSU or State you don't want them to tank the rest of the season, no, you want our wins over them to mean something. That being said I'll be happy if both OSU and MSU go out 2nd round.
Wow, that Kam Williams shot.
Was that the dagger?
Two BS foul calls in a row. Williams wans't touched on the first one, and he kicked his leg out to draw the second one.
And it's BS when he does it too. I've said so myself on game threads when I've noticed it.
Michigan fans ought to appreciate the effort he gave when he was in Ann Arbor. He didn't have a spot on the Michigan roster, and he was given a chance to play meaningful minutes in the Big Ten. Plus he didn't get into the graduate program he wanted at Quinnipiac. Can't blame the kid for that.
any other BIG10 team would have been no big deal but OSU is joining the enemy.
He's supposed to turn down a rotation spot in a Power 5 conference and a free year of graduate school because the wrong team offered it to him? It's not like he had a plethora of offers to choose from. It was basically pay his own way somewhere or go to OSU.
I don't think money was the likely issue, but I'm not sure he would have gotten a better opportunity to play for a power program.
