going to church tommorow to pray for our little brother

i wanna be able to watch next week and wont be able too if it's Duke being carried to a 5th title... Theyd have 2 more titles than us in the last 22... And be the 5th team to get to 5

Duke deserved the first 3, but have been protected since that 3rd title

This is pitino's last chance unless he convinces everyone to come back next year, but more than likely Deng/Smith gone and Behanan is 50/50

Pitino's done a lot for the state let him get his last 15 seconds of fame

Man shut the fukk up

Some press highlights as we move closer to the Final Four:

Cleanthony Early, Wichita State's leading scorer, lacked the grades to attend a Division I school out of high school and attended a lower-level junior college near his New York home after his older brother drowned.

Gregg Marshall (Getty Images)Carl Hall, the Shockers' top big man, gave up basketball after experiencing fainting spells and went to work in a light bulb factory before picking the game again in junior college. ,

Malcolm Armstead, their starting point guard, took out a loan and got a part-time job to pay his own way at Wichita State last season because the Oregon transfer felt the Shockers were the best fit for him but no scholarships were available.

And Ron Baker, their starting shooting guard, agreed to pay his own last season as well because the only other Division I schools that offered him scholarships were South Dakota State and Arkansas Little Rock.

------------------------------------------

"Elite Eight games are huge anyway," Krzyzewski said. "But this one, I think it's like a national championship game. (As much as I want to rebut that, I can't argue with him).

------------------------------------------

The Zone has been so dominant that Syracuse guard Michael Carter-Williams sat at his locker after the Orange had trampled Marquette 55-39 in the East Region final to advance to next weekend's Final Four in Atlanta and said "It's going to take a team a perfect game," to beat it.

------------------------------------------

But there is no denying that missing the Final Four altogether would be a massive failure for the [B1G] conference.

Meanwhile, the Big East sent eight teams to the tournament and could have two in the Final Four if Louisville beats Duke on Sunday.

---------------------------------------------

''A lot of people doubted us, a lot of people thought we were too young, not tough enough. And I think we've proved people wrong over the last couple of weeks,'' Burke said. ''I think we understood we have what it takes to be a young team that can go far in this tournament. ... Being young isn't an excuse.'' to the youngin'...#RNS

"...Our team does a great job preparing the right way.'' - Kenny Boynton

UCLA dumb as hell for not waiting a few weeks to holla @ Marshall. the way these kids play for dude is inspiring

Matta lookin more and more like the guy that cant take it to the next level, theres no upgrade out there but hes underacheived a handful of times now

shame that Marquette shot so poorly, i love the direction Williams has them in they always play hard just couldnt get shyt to fall. that Cuse D is suffocating, they are one of the best passing lane defensive teams ive ever seen

I wish they would have made the games later in the day like yesterday.

The West Coast won't even be home from church by the time these games start, and it's Easter!

Man shut the fukk up

Dude been salty ever since he realized that Kentucky wasn't shyt this year....and that was BEFORE Nerlens got injured.

At least he has that 40-0 season to look forward to next season

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

I dont think they will win a title but Ohio St is top 10 going in to next year... Great college backcourt with seniors Kraft/Lenzelle/Scott... And Ross/Thompson/Williams could all make a leap

they dont have much coming in next year though

Nah man there gonna lose Thomas the one guy who create his own shot and even with him there offense was

So there teams gonna be worse and cbb as a whole is gonna be much better

This was the year,there team wasnt all that good but it was a bad year for cbb and they were in the weakest bracket in the history of the tournament and still couldnt get it done and needed buzzer beaters just to get by a few games

I think he'll be fine. It's just that being a fan of the greatest program in NCAA history boosts your expectations. Though we're still salty bout his year, we have a wealth of great memories and championships to look back on.

We'll be aite

fukk Vegas. let's see how composed Burke is against that Florida D. I got faith that scottie will play him tight. Yuguete and Prather should come through with the hustle plays and if Murphy, Rosario, and Boynton get goin, it's very possible. Go Gators
