    It’s gonna suck when the biggest Cinderella in the Sweet 16 is John Calipari.

    The little guy making an impressive showing...

    Sweet 16 has 7 SEC teams, 4 Big 10 (or is that Big 18?) teams, 4 Big 12 (or is that Big 16?) teams and 1 ACC team.
    Yay for super conferences. Ruined college football now ruining hoops.

    The feel good story?

    I was 13-3 over the weekend. 
    Still in 1st place. 

    There is your feel good story!

    the feel good part of the tourney is we don't have to watch or listen to Danny Hurley whine and cry like the little baby he is.  Hard to think of anyone who is more of a sore loser than he is.  so unlikeable.

    That I am happy to say I called.
    Fuck Memphis 
    I had that one also. I saw a few minutes of Colorado State on one of those late night games and the Rams looked good enough for me to pick them over Memphis.
    CSU is hot. 11 straight W’s. Nique Clifford is an NBA talent. reminds me of Playoff P, except he actually plays.

    another L for the SEC. wish bama could’ve joined the party.

    I am in a survivor/knockout pool, my first time doing that. Pick one winner per day, but you cant pick them again. I survived the first four days using St J., Iowa St,  T. Tech, and Maryland yesterday (PHEW)
    Thursday and Friday looks tough

    900 people were in it. 
    300 still alive.
    Winner take all

    Yeah what a fucking strange person. He's creating a rep that might make it hard to find another coaching job when the time comes.

    yup, winning trumps all.  Hurley is going to go out like Bob Knight or Woody Hayes though. Eventually he will get physical with someone.  It's inevitable with his psychotic behavior.

    They underachieved as they were a Top 20 team at the start of the Season.

    NEVER liked Calipari going back to his UMASS days.

    Tournament has been pretty entertaining so far but holy shit the replay reviews are out of control! They review everything...it's ridiculous and kills the flow of the game.

    Yeah I love the format and everything about the tourney except for the TV time outs, fouls, and reviews killing momentum and dragging games on.

    Between the TV Timeouts and the Timeouts EACH team gets=18 Timeouts a game. Ridiculous for a 40-minute game.

    But we know TV rules.

    Going to 4 Quarters could help? (Re-set the fouls could help too?)

    at least calipari has always been honest in regard to what he’s about. I doubt you’ll ever hear him spout that “student athlete” BS.

    Hard to score 88 and still lose by 25.  I don’t know maybe not let a team take 51 threes especially when they are banging them.
