Thanks for nothing, State.

MSU has been terrible all year. Why is this some sort of surprise?

We were expecting a bit of Izzo March Madness magic.

 

[eznark]

Hey, his radio show is pretty good. Beats any of the shit that is on ESPN radio during the day.

Back like 10 years ago when it was TK into Dan Patrick, that was awesome radio. Both of those guys have become freaking terrible since those good old days. Sigh...

Thankfully, ESPN Milwaukee is almost all local programming now.

 

[suaveric]

I couldn't decide if State was going to go really deep or come out and lay an egg. Looks like I chose poorly

 

[Elfforkusu]

State unleashing hell and inexplicably tearing through the bracket is a March tradition.

But yes, other than that you're completely correct.

 

[Subitai]

Thanks for nothing, State.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

 

[IGotBillySoSpooked]

Zags' passing is crisp. Very nice.

 

[Knux-Future]

Fucking Michigan St. failed me big time.

St. John's and Utah St. and Missouri are soon to follow.

But I had Mich St in the elite 8

 

[Buckethead]

Summers playing awesome?
Give it to the rookies.

Kiebler getting burned on defense?
Keep him on the best player.

Genius. Focking genius.

 

[IGotBillySoSpooked]

Surprised that so many people have MSU going deep. Both of the PTI guys have them in the Final Four, I think.

They've been poor all season...why would that change now?

 

[Sir Pant]

HELLS YES. GONZAGA TAKING IT TO EM.

Wow just flipped over to that, pretty sad for st johns, they better step it up soon...

 

[SamuraiX-]

Nailed it.

SJU terrible away from MSG. Everyone should have seen that coming.

This, I had them losing in all my brackets. Everyone was way too hyped on them.

 

[The Frankman]

6:50 in the 1st and you crowning Gonzaga?

 

[jjasper]

This, I had them losing in all my brackets. Everyone was way too hyped on them.

Typical overestimation of Big East teams. Same stuff happened last year. Although I will say I didn't see the Louisville loss coming.

 

[IGotBillySoSpooked]

This, I had them losing in all my brackets. Everyone was way too hyped on them.

I had them losing, as well. DJ Kennedy out...that is 10 ppg gone. That hurts.

Still a lot of time, but that is tough to overcome.

 

[Sir Pant]

Mizzou playing like we typically do on the road, taking quick shitty shots and not playing enough defense.

 

[IGotBillySoSpooked]

6:50 in the 1st and you crowning Gonzaga?

I don't think they give out crowns in the NCAA tourney. There have been a lot of changes this year, though, so I'm not 100% on that.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

This Gonzaga team is awesome to watch, has to be Stockton aura. Utah State sucks. At least those pale, old, midgets aren't wearing face-guards this year and I predicted them to lose in the first round.

 

[bucknuticus]

Zaga is so much taller than sju, they can't stop anything inside nor get rebounds.

 

[Buckethead]

MSU looks like deer in headlights when Honeycutt drives to the net.

If they don't cut this under 10 soon, game over.

 

[Elfforkusu]

State showing the slightest hint of a pulse.

They need to push tempo like they're race car drivers for the rest of the game if they want any real chance at a comeback.

e: Dear god they're so bad in the half court. Really miss Lucious.

 

[bluemax]

I've been watching the USU and Kstate game with no sound, why do they keep flashing to a fat guy with a really red face?

 

[Proelite]

Does MSU have anybody over 6'6"?

 

[Mizzou Gaming]

Mizzou playing like we typically do on the road, taking quick shitty shots and not playing enough defense.

Ratliff is lazy. I would sit him down and make him watch hours and hours of tape showcasing Demarre Carrol and how he contributes on both sides of the ball. Bowers is a great player, and he would get better if we had a legitimate big guy playing with him.

The other big problem is our guards wanna take a few dribbles, juke back and forth and then passes to another guard who also feels a need to make sure the ball has air in it, juke back and....well you get the picture.

 

[Buckethead]

Well that's game.

 

[Fatalah]

I miss DJ, the first half was TORTURE. I'm waiting for an offensive rhythm to develop for my Redmen. Tonight reminds me of playing Syracuse last week. Not good.

 

[Battlezone]

Dammit, this is the second straight year where I correctly pick a 12/13 upset but pick the wrong teams.

Of course, I didn't make any picks until about an hour before tipoff, so I'm not too torn up about it.

 

[The Frankman]

My bracket is done. Michigan St letting me down.

 

[jakncoke]

Frankman you keep St.Johns in the f4? backfire am total if they end up losing

Edit: woah who had Old Dominion winning the tourney lol

Edit: ouch someone lost Louisville national champion

 

[bigtroyjon]

This color guy needs to be fired if he thinks that shot should count. He's allowed to protect himself by hanging on the rim but that is without a doubt goaltending.

Apparently the refs should be fired too!

I mean, there's no way they know the rules better than some message board guy

 

[Kill The Bat]

Lead down to single digits...

Game still over though.

 

[GodfatherX]

had st johns in the elite 8

 

[Kill The Bat]

I have St. John's losing next round, so I'm not too worried about them potentially losing tonight.

 

[bigtroyjon]

I don't think the refs saw what happened, once you contact any part of the basket while the ball is within the cylinder its goaltending.

 

[jakncoke]

come on utah st lol, i got you as a 12/5 upset bid.

 

[Igo]

Which game should I be watching?

 

[bucknuticus]

Come on sparty!

 

[clav]

Come on Michigan State.

 

[jakncoke]

Just noticed MSU broke it into single digits, late run march madness run incoming/occurring?

 

[Elfforkusu]

I'm familiar with offensive goaltending. But the dude would've paralyzed himself had he let go before he did. Also, every ref was looking at the play when it happened, and they had a full 2 minute timeout to figure out the call.

State made it interesting, at least.

Just noticed MSU broke it into single digits, late run march madness run incoming/occurring?

Nah, just making it respectable.

 

[IGotBillySoSpooked]

Just noticed MSU broke it into single digits, late run march madness run incoming/occurring?

Probably not - lead is at 10 win 90 seconds left.

 

[clav]

Ah well. That's game.

 

[Bowser]

lol who had Sparty in the Elite 8?

...

this guy

 

[jakncoke]

give an elbow.. claim innocence.. heh

 

[bucknuticus]

Did the ucla team get the group discount on one arm sleeve tattoos?

 

[IGotBillySoSpooked]

Lead is down to 7 with a minute left.

I've seen leads that size fall in less time. We'll see.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Michigan State is learning the hard way that you can't just play with heart for 20 minutes and expect to win the game.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Did the ucla team get the group discount on one arm sleeve tattoos?

And highlighter yellow shoes.

Should be an automatic disqualification right there

Michigan State is learning the hard way that you can't just play with heart for 20 minutes and expect to win the game.

That's silly, they'd already know that if they'd just watch some Illini game tape!
