Agreed way too many blowouts. Watching sportscenter for the sharpe dunk but they have Obama talking about the women's ncaa tourney. Wtf

But, but, but, that's not supposed to happen. G-Town's in the big least, that's not fair!!!!
The $EC off to a predictably bad start. 2-3 in the first round. The two wins are a blowout of UC Santa Barbara and a 2 point last minute win over Princeton... Losses include a 30 point loss to Meatchicken and Vandy providing the obligatory 5/12 upset victim.
Sure glad they made sure to give that league 5 teams in, even though the league sucked balls all year.

So let's see, the big least is currently 7-4. But is there more to this story?
Since an 11 seed seems to be the lowest this committee assigned to a major conference (forget Clemson's 12 seed, they were a play-in), that means that over half of the big least teams were seeded in the upper half possible (seeds 1 - 5). 2 other conferences had most of its teams seeded above the half way mark -- big 12 and $ec).
big least seeding and results:
1 -- won (Pitt)
2 -- won (sorta lame)
3 -- won (uCons)
3 -- won ('cuse)
4 -- lost (Louisville)
5 -- won (WV)
6 -- lost (G-Town)
6 -- lost (St Johns)
6 -- won (Cinci)
9 -- Lost (Nova)
11 -- won (Marquette)
Other conference seedings, for comparison:
.... lilbig101112 had seeds 1, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 10 (record 5 - 2; both 10 seeds lost)
.... bigtex had seeds 1, 4, 5, 7, 11 (record 3 - 2)
.... $ec had seeds 2, 4, 5, 9, 10 (record 2 - 3)
.... acc had seeds 1, 2, 10, 12 (record 4 - 1, if you count Clemson's play-in game win; if not, 3 - 1)
.... pac (soon to be 12) had seeds 5, 7, 7 (record 3 - 1, if you count u$c's play-in game loss; if not, 3 - 0)
Most impressed with? pac(soon to be 12). 3-0 in round 2, 3-1 overall.
What does this all prove? Not a damned thang. I'm drinking rum and it seemed interesting.
Go BUFFS!!! Blast the NIT.

yahoo ran a stat this AM that said (IIRC) that UNC has won 24 straight NCAA games in North Carolina.
Come on Huskies!
I saw some stat the other day that they have only lost one tournament game ever in the state of NC.They're something like 30-1 all time.

What was N'Diaye's 4th foul called for, guarding the guy??? That was a crock of ****.
that was close to the stat when CU played UNC in the tournament..... 1996? 1997? I forget...
The officiating in that 2nd half was extremely 1-sided. That game was played in Winston-Salem

i missed the replay but i might look at the second UNC shot blocker getting the ball after the glass? there with 7 secs left.
Come on UW, you can't even inbound the ball there?

another poorly executed last minute. not as bad as Pitt-Butler, but guys look out of control, potential mental mistake where players should know situations, etc.
That's about a half dozen times they've pulled a win out of their ass. If UW would've had some decent execution on offense down the stretch they would've won this one.
Barkley said it perfectly, Washington gave this game away.
Getting tired of the "experts" questioning that. The game was tied at that point. What if he misses? (and he did) You can get the tap in. This had nothing to do with the coach. A really stupid play by the player that has never been seen before.
:rolling_eyes:This is what he said he thought at 17 years old. Let it die. :dead-horse-fast2: I also think Grant Hill is a dumbass for responding to it.
He had a chance to retract it on First & Ten. He didn't.
Why should he? He said on First and Ten that is what he thought at 17.
