Also:

I feel like this Arizona/Texas game is going to end with Rick Barnes FAIL :|

 

[EvilMario]

Maybe the 5 second call was botched, but the last play.. there was not enough to call a foul.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

True this draft might be legendary in it's shittyness but then again we say this every year.

But this year might match 2000.

I think Irving and Valanciunas can be all-stars, but everyone else is a fringe starter.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Texas was stupid to drive and hope the refs bailed them. Pull up jumper would have given them a better chance.

 

[Barrett2]

Nice shot Jardine. Jesus.

 

[Drakken]

Way to walk the ball up the court when you only have seconds left. If you hadn't been so nonchalant, your team would have had time for a put-back.

 

[jakncoke]

VCU up 15 goddamn

 

[truly101]

Wow, way to swallow the whistle refs...Texas robbed.

you mad about Marquette

 

[pxleyes]

VCU pulling away.

Ass's... I want to see Chuck.

This. Refs may have even been more inclined to call a foul if theres still 5 seconds left on the clock.

 

[minimexc]

4 second call and no foul at the end? Feeling for Longhorn fans too.

Have to wonder why Texas called that timeout instead of just getting fouled and potentially sealing the game. And why did Brown walk the ball up with 9.2 seconds left? Run it up there and if you miss, give your team a chance for a put back! Barnes is a nice coach, but he needs to do a better job of teaching game management.

I'll LOL if Illinois makes it further than Purdue. Is it further or farther...hmm. I always get that one wrong.

You've been posting about this guy a lot lately?

I have no clue about euros but is he any good? The Jazz don't really need another soft big guy who shoots jumpers.

 

[dagZ]

Nice shot Jardine. Jesus.

were a second half team. we'll get it going after halftime.

 

[Bowser]

you mad about Marquette

What? I'm not. I'd like Marquette to win :|

I just wanted Texas to win because it seems like Zona's bench players had the games of their lives and there's no way they repeat it :/

 

[jakncoke]

Just messed around in yahoo scenario generator. if it goes perfect storm for me from now on i can get up to 3rd still lol

Ya, we're not a deep team by any means. But to balance our great bench today, we had our star have probably his worst game of the year (minus the game winner of course).

 

[chuckddd]

 

[Fjordson]

Got the Arizona win in my brackets, but Purdue...geez. Looking terrible right now.

 

[jakncoke]

I'd smang that girl so hard.

 

[truly101]

well played, that chick is hot

 

[EvilMario]

VCU is destroying Purdue. And easily.

 

[exarkun]

wtf happened in the Texas game? I turned that shit off at 30 seconds with them having the ball and being up by two points. What happened?

 

[truly101]

If you saw how we squandered a 16 pt lead in the 2nd half you'd know you have no reason to worry

 

[ErasureAcer]

Whew. Up to 19. I can start to breathe a bit easier now...was down to 12 not too long ago.

 

[Lebron]

I could tell Purdue was getting owned by the cries echoing in the dorms. But damn, not this bad. Geez.

the failboat was just launching at that time

Texas got called for a 4 second violation (no way that was 5 seconds), then Williams hit a circus shot while getting fouled and drained the FT. Brown then proceeds to walk the ball up, take it to the rim, miss, Texas rebounds and may or may not have been fouled, but refs don't call anything and Arizona wins.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I have no clue about euros but is he any good? The Jazz don't really need another soft big guy who shoots jumpers.

His defensive rebounding rate is near Love and Dwight and he's shooting 70% from the field and 92% from the line and scoring a point every two minutes on the court. 7'6 wingspan as well. I think he has a chance to be great especially with his awesome intangibles. He does play limited minutes though with foul issues.

There was no way that Texas player held the ball for 5 seconds without at least getting the timeout off in time.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Purdue forgot this is a single elimination tourney

 

[Knux-Future]

The ranks are reversed this game right?

VCU ain't playing around

 

[DarkWish]

That's right, you don't want to go to war with the Rams. VCU also has a great pep band, so energizing.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Shit. Down to 13...time to start breathing heavy again. Fucking Ryne Smith. Argh...

 

[Bowser]

"Mar 20 Update: One player who may decide to stay in school is North Carolina's Harrison Barnes. Despite Barnes' terrific play of late, one source close to Barnes told me he'd really like to win an NCAA championship for the Tar Heels. 'He's the sort of guy who cares about more than just going to the NBA,' the source said. 'He wants to leave his mark.'"

Zomg yes plz (yeah, I'm selfish).

Sorry, did you say something...

 

[Talon]

Seems like Purdue really misses Barlow's defense on the perimeter.

And VCU is playing out of their minds. Shit, Seniors, get your act together.

Lolz...believe nothing. That money is tough to turn down.

Then again with the potential lockout.....

He's projected lottery, if Roy doesn't make him go he's a moron .

 

[truly101]

I never forgave Eric Maynor, may he burn in hell, so I should want Purdue to win. Surprised at the beatdown. Jay Bilas must have really ticked em off

 

[SamuraiX-]

I think he has a chance to be great especially with his awesome intangibles. He does play limited minutes though with foul issues.

So he basically has the potential to be the euro version of Hasheem Thabeet.

Awesome.

Lol Paulus got roasted that game.

You're right. It was like 6.

 

[IGotBillySoSpooked]

I hope Marquette wins this game.

I think Syracuse has the better chance of going farther in the tournament, which would look better for the Big East (especially with Pitt's early departure). However, I hate Syracuse.

 

[bucknuticus]

Cuse fans I'm disappointed. They're not loud at all here in the Q, Marquette is drowning them out so bad.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

It was a legit 5 second violation. You can't call a timeout after the 4th second and on replays you can clearly see the ref counting out to 4 before Joseph signaled.

 

[Bowser]

You're right. It was like 6.

You're literally the only person that doesn't think that was a quick 5 second call.
