Big East Tourney Champs!!!!!!

Let's GO!

Oh I know this team would of been a huge disappointment, kinda hard though when your starting PG is done for the year, your backup PG gets suspended for the pac-10 tourney. Thomas played 123 of 124 minutes possible. If it wasn't for the no call goaltending @ Arizona, U-dub would of swept you guys.... dont be mad guy!!!

Im not mad, your the one complaining. Good teams learn to win with who they have playing.

Umfer the husky homer, how ya doing brother?


Serious question... What ever happened with the rape allegations against an unnamed Husky player, did all that get dropped?

[Warner2BruceTD]

The expanded tourny field has definately killed a lot of the bubble intrigue this year. Does anyone really care if Georgia or Bama get snubbed?

[Sharkweather]

Yes.

I think with the expansion of the tourney, teams who do not make it, have nothing to complain about.

I better not see a coach complaining on ESPN tonight, it's your own fault even more so now than ever before if you don't get in.

We are talking FOUR more teams than ever before. That's kinda big. Usually in years past we only see around two teams complain. Now those teams would get in AND two more.

Hanging in there been a roller coaster season, and funny you bring that up because this team was rolling 5-0 in pac-10 play before those allegations. It was on Overton, the rape was dropped but he's convicted of giving alcohol to a 16 year old.. It's why he was suspended for the pac-10 tourney. I would love to see a Kentucky UW rematch....

Memo to the NCAA committee,,,,please do not let the officials working the SEC championship game officiate in the NCAA tourney or any game I will be watching any time soon. What an absolute disaster. I've seen officials drawing critics for one play at the end of the game or so forth, but this WHOLE SEC Championship game was unbearable to watch, mainly because of the officials.

I'm not a fan of either team, but how can you possibly play a basketball game when it's being officiatied like that. I gotta give alot of credit to Donovan for not getting a technical, although he was close all game. I think at one point in the First Half Kentucky had 13 free throws and UF had zero. The calls were just plain silly. Now the big deal here is that UF is #1 in the nation with least fouls commited. 30 free throws to 8. You can't watch a good game as a fan of college bball when you see something, and the calls were mostly pretty bad. Just because the dome is filled with uk fans, doesn't mean you have to change your calls, discuss fouls and blow late whistles.

Sorry had to vent, feel we were short changed as fans supposed to be watching a good close game. The calls in the game definately changed everything about it.

[Herm]

Im just thrilled that this Cal coached team is hitting free throws .


Honest question no homer here... is there another conference tourney in America where one team has the majority of the fans there even for opening round games? Maybe a team like Gonzaga has a stranglehold on attendance at WCC tourneys?


I was watching the late night games this week when i came home from work and its weird to watch Arkansas vs TN and see mostly blue in whats left of the crowd.

We've both been watching A LOT of tourney ball so far, and the officiating has been downright terrible throughout most of it. Unfortunately theres no crew from any conference id trust in a crucial spot at this point.

Sounds like the '06 NBA Finals.

LOL...I am done with the Penn St-Ohio state game already.

It's turned into a free throw parade for Ohio St already 10 min in. Penn St doesnt even have a chance vs. these officials.

10 min in Ohio state gets called for their first foul...lol.

I'm done watching until Tuesday and hope for the best I guess.

People who blame the officials are just bitter.
