College Basketball (NCAA)

[porfavor]

March Madness is coming up, so this thread is inevitable. Who are your picks? Will you participate in the bracket bets? Who do you think will be the Davidson of this year? Discuss here.

I'm going for Carolina, true Tarheel all the way. They aren't doing as well this season as I would have liked (disappointing losses in the onset of the ACC) but this is going to be our glory year. Again. Hansborough's last year should be crowned with a NCAA championship.

[LarryLunch]

Hansborough? The one that came to my school tonight and made no impact? Ah.

LOL jk. But tonight's game was good as hell, no doubt.

[porfavor]

GOD the game was good, but URGH.
Vasquez did wonderfully. Carolina was just being ridiculous. Five assists, really?

[LarryLunch]

I hate Vasquez. You'd be surprised at how many Marylanders actually dislike that loudmouth. He did great yesterday though, I'll give him that.

[porfavor]

no one else cares about the NCAA except us T_T

Wake Forest v Duke tonight. (as you can tell, I live in NC haha)
Wake Forest is ON when theyre on, and totally off when theyre not. it's a total hit or miss for them. But Duke MUST GO DOWN, so go deacons

[LarryLunch]

Ew, Duke is winning... :wacko:

[Yexley]

Wish basketball was that popular here, hardly anyone to play against.

[LarryLunch]

Lol, do you watch NCAA? SO much more intense and fun than the pros IMO.

Anyways... Wakeforest is getting s#!Ted on, but they are dropping some crazy 3s. Good thing they went in too... the coach would've been so steamed.

[Yexley]

I watch it when I can find somewhere to stream it on the net. Usually ends up being some chinese commentators so I'm not sure who is playing.

[NAM1011]

Let's go Duke.

[LarryLunch]

^Bastard!!! :P

...Maryland has to play this team on Wednesday. I'm a bit worried TBH lol.

[NAM1011]

haha you should be worried. I do not see any Juan Dixon's on your team. They have no chance haha.

[LarryLunch]

Well we stopped UNC didn't we? :odd:


LETS GO DEMON DEACONS!!!!!

[NAM1011]

Everybody get lucky haha.

Gerald Henderson keep doing ur thing buddy.

[porfavor]

Let's go Duke.
boo

ryuujin, im cheering for maryland.
haha we were talking about the maryland duke thing in class today, how maryland thinks they're rivals with duke when the only rivalry duke has is with carolina. :P

[NAM1011]

lol I will give Maryland a little more credit than that. They were considered a rival in the Steve Francis and Juan Dixon days. Now, they have fallen off a little.

RJ, Idk if I am recalling this correctly but does 85-44 ring a bell? = P

[LarryLunch]

Yeah it does... that's when Duke was chanting "NOT OUR RIVALS"

LOL. Yeah I do find that pretty funny, how Maryland hates UNC and Duke when they probably don't even care that much.

[NAM1011]

Lol. I soo wish I was smart enough to get into Duke Law. This convo would be that much better.

[LarryLunch]

Bleh.


Our women's team, however, thoroughly raped Duke the last game. They are legitimate title contenders.

[NAM1011]

haha you know your men's basketball program is fail when you try to bring the women's team into the discussion haha.

[porfavor]

HAHA. :P
carolina women's team is pretty good. i remember ivory latta from a few years ago, who was really good

[NAM1011]

Same can be said for Lindsey Harding. Numero uno pick in 07 for the WNBA.

[LarryLunch]

Syracuse vs Uconn 6th OT? Amazing? Uconn SO blown?

DISCUSS. LETS LETS LETS.

[tsurugi]

Uconn really disappointed me last night...

they had 6 fucking over times...and couldnt do shit.

but WVU got a nice win over pitt....at least they know how to get shit done.

[LarryLunch]

That was mind boggling, I thought Pitt would walk all over them.

And I wouldn't say Uconn didn't do shit... both teams had chances to end the OT but neither could step up the necessary amount to do so until 6th. Syracuse just came out with fire in their eyes that last OT. lol Imagine how tired they must be... that game was on for 4 fucking hours O_O


Got me thinking though... you have teams like these in the NCAA tournament, and here we have Maryland trying to get in the action. We couldn't even beat UVA. Who the FUCK loses to UVA? Jesus Christ.... costing us the bid. I doubt we can beat Wakeforest today, so we have to look forward to next year.

[McFlyan]

You'd be surprised at how many Marylanders actually dislike that loudmouth.

That's not entirely true, we like him cuz he's the only guy with a decent amount of talent on the team. We can't afford to dislike him lol

EDIT: Ummmm, we beat wake forest by double digits? That's not supposed to happen after you lose to uva or morgan state is it?

[LarryLunch]

I guess I should take back what I said. YEAH we're dancing. :odd: Hopefully. And it's quite true actually, so many people on campus dislike him. lol


Maryland student or Maryland fan? Either way, we can gang up on Nam. Duke fan. lol


Speaking of Duke, they won. 3rd times the charm, right? FUCK duke. :odd:

[McFlyan]

Both, kinda. I went to Salisbury University and live like 10 mins from college park. I got into UMD but I wanted to get away from mom and dad haha.

[LarryLunch]

Awesome. I lived 30 mins away from Salisbury in middle school. I lived in Ocean City lol

[McFlyan]

No shit. Yeah I spent a good deal of time in OC when the weather was nice and I spent a ton of time there in the summer when I was of age. Some friends and I would get drunk and go to the boardwalk to yell at the kids on senior week. lol, good times.

Damnit, looks like Duke pulled it out against BC.

[notorious UZIMAKI]

man, wish i would've seen the forum earlier, i'm UMD alum. knew we'd get pwned this tourney, but honestly just glad we beat a pac10 team in the opener. all i hear out west is 'the acc is sooo overrated'. west coast biatches .haha

[McFlyan]

Yeah I'm glad the terps got outta the first round and they could shut up some pac-10 fans for ya.
So how's everyone's brackets looking? I've got 12 right for my sweet sixteen. Wake Forest and Utah St. messed things up for me.

[notorious UZIMAKI]

wake screwed me, but for once, picked against my home conference (and the pac-10, please) and ended up in the middle. if Pitt and NC go far i could turn out ok.

[McFlyan]

I've got Pitt winning the damn thing. My other final 4 picks are Oklahoma, Michigan State, and Purdue. I know, Purdue and Mich St are kind of longshot picks but they were my picks when I first filled out my bracket and I can't deviate now.

[notorious UZIMAKI]

my bracket sucked, at least MD beat both finalists. congrats heels, and rep ACC boi!

[McFlyan]

Haha, my brackets got shot to hell once Pitt lost. I did have Michigan State losing in the finals, just not to UNC lol. Oh well, at least an ACC team one the whole thing.
