    D. James returning for Marquette today. Don't know how much he will be able to go but it certainly will be a help. GO BADGERS and MARQUETTE!! Hopefully a nice home court advantage as both teams are in Boise!!!

    Hell yeah Patrick. That Badger game was awesome Friday night. I was out from 11am for the MU game till the end of the Badger game, so needless to say I was in good spirits. When Hughes hit that shot I tackled my buddy to the floor. Wouldn't trade it for nothing. I love March Madness!!!

    Absolute heartbreak. Also complete BUSH league by Mizzou taking that guy out cause he was hurt for those freethrows with 5 sec. left, then after the freethrows immediatly trying to put him in, just bush league.

    In my big cash pool, I went 16-0 over the weekend. In my smaller cash pool I went 15-1. Hopefully my luck keeps going and I finish in the money in one of them.

    Dude, there was nothing bu$hleague about that. The shooter's right hand had already been injured previously. He had worn a splint up until the previous game. He landed on it hard. He was the best free throw shooter on the team. They replaced him with a freshman (again, a worse free throw shooter), who made the free throws. The injured player (J.T. Tiller) begs coach to let him back on the court, coach relents, but he never actually gets back in to the game. Marquette was getting favorable calls the whole game, by the way. Mizzou earned that win. If all of the whining Marquette fans looked a little deeper they'd realize they were simply outplayed and lost.

    well, i got 12 of my 16 in this pool & all of my elite 8 teams are still alive....so there's a slim chance that i could make a little noise!

    i'm doing pretty well in my other brackets, so we'll see!
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    I have no problem with them substituting a player to shoot the free throws, that's the rule. BUT, if he was truly hurt, then how magically after the free throws are shot is he ok to go back in, even if it is on defense. If your hurt, your hurt, and your not going to magically get better in 5 seconds. Him even attempting to go in the game was just a bush league move. That's what I have a problem with. With Mizzou shooting the lights out it was gonna be hard for anybody to beat them, but don't try and pull a bush league move, if your hurt with 5 seconds to go, you should be done for the game.
