We are not food enough to win 5 vs 8. Game over.

 

[Elfforkusu]

That's game.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Yep we lost it. Had too many chances to get back onto it now they are pulling away.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Wow Barkley ....

 

[ErasureAcer]

That's game.

Yup.

 

[pxleyes]

Five is five, baby.

 

[truly101]

How can anyone stand ND?

All their black football players are uncle toms

 

[SyNapSe]

We are not food enough to win 5 vs 8. Game over.

Please, I'm willing to admit when my team gets the calls but it's 13 fouls to 11 against a finesse Illini team. More than 35% of your shots are from 3.

Also, praise jeebus for new-Tyshawn coming back after the suspension.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Tisdale derping all over the place, and KU rubbing it in!

McCamey needs to go into KoME mode

 

[Proelite]

Kansas looking real sharp tonight despite a 4th seed level team trying their best to pull the upset.

 

[jakncoke]

lmao

 

[SamuraiX-]

Man, dem ND fans be mad.

Are you talking about me?

I couldn't give a shit about them besides the fact that I have them in my championship game.

They have no players who can play at the NBA level and their star player is the classic, smug white guy who just want to punch in the face.

 

[Bowser]

The rock chalk chant sounds so cult-like :jakncoke

I meant the loud collection of boos.

 

[Robot 492]

Time for ND to turn this around...

lol


Down 13 now.

 

[HiResDes]

I have those fucks in the Elite 8!...This has to be my worst bracket of all time, I made better picks when I was 13 and I just picked the teams I liked rather than the teams I thought would win.

 

[Proelite]

No 1 seeds fell today. Thanks for the heads-up Pitt. :jakncoke

 

[HiResDes]

Kansas will fall eventually, they never fail to screw me over...

 

[maruchan]

big east lol... my time is gone but i can take pleasure in this...

 

[truly101]

Its pretty much over for ND, g'bye.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Ate too much, fell asleep. Woke up with 10 text messages, all of which were about Syracuse. Damn.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Welp, good game KU.

 

[jobber]

Richmond vs Kansas :x

gulp

 

[pxleyes]

FSU has this in the bag. Welcome to the big time, VCU will show you the way home.

Look I'm not saying this is some big conspiracy screwjob. Only that when it mattered we had 2 drives to the basket get no calls where we get slaughtered, then
On the other end we get called for a ticky tac and then don't get a charge called. This was at a crucial point in the game. For the most part the game was called ok, though the Morris flopping early on was ridiculous.

My assertion is only that my team isn't good or tough enough to overcome that + a quality opponent.

Grats on moving on to the next round.

For the seniors, you have underachieved your 4 years here, thanks for the 1 tourney win and cya.

 

[SyNapSe]

Welp, good game KU.

GG. I thought the Illini really showed well. The Jayhawks have played 10 games this year where I think the Illini's effort would have won but they were on point for that game.

 

[SamuraiX-]

The Big East really is an overrated shit conference.

Wow, not making this mistake with my bracket next year.

.

With the exception of Mike Davis, who came out of nowhere to be kinda awesome.

Yeah Mike Davis really had a nice senior year. I wish we had him 1 more year to play with the new kids.

 

[SyNapSe]

The Big East really is an overrated shit conference.

Wow, not making this mistake with my bracket next year.

Well, 2 of the teams were eliminated by other Big East teams. Eh, I'm sure they're overrated just like I imagine Terrell Owens wasn't the second coming of the devil as ESPN blew him up to be.

Sensationalism sells in both directions.

 

[Meier]

20 pt lead.. can't get too excited yet. Just waiting for us to go cold.

 

[Fjordson]

Yeah, wtf @ ND. Had them winning this and the next game. Oh well.

Bracket isn't doing stellar, but all four of my final four teams are still in it.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

3/4 of my Final Four is out, never trust the Big East again.

 

[Bowser]

Florida State is DESTROYING ND...wow.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

My only upset special that I was 100% sure was going down is happening at least. Goooo FSU!

 

[SamuraiX-]

The highest rank I'll ever be in this year's GAF bracket.

I'm probably dropping to the basement after this Notre Dame game is over.

 

[truly101]

FSU should realize that the clock is their friend right? Don't shoot that shit unless its under 10 or you have an easy score opportunity

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Ohio State vs. Kentucky
Marquette vs. UNC
Duke vs. Arizona
Connecticut vs. SDSU
Kansas vs. Richmond
VCU vs. Florida State
Butler vs. Wisconsin
Florida vs. BYU


Like all of those games other than VCU vs. Florida State

 

[truly101]

Florida State is DESTROYING ND...wow.

Pretty much without Singleton as well

Butler vs. Wisconsin

Wow, that Butler/Wiscy game could go only into the 40's

 

[Memphis Reigns]

Go Cats! I admit I thought Texas was going to pull off the win so I went out for a smoke and missed the wild last few seconds. I don't think it was gifted to the Cats at all since Brown went to the FT line every time someone looked at him wrong. Cats outplayed them, so glad to see them back in the sweet 16!

 

[SyNapSe]

Kenpom or any other efficiency ranking (massey, etc.) could have told you ND was ripe for upset. They shoot a ton of 3's and play so-so defense.

5 senior starters, though (?). That's the formula for good things.

 

[Kingbrave]

My only upset special that I was 100% sure was going down is happening at least. Goooo FSU!

Me too....

 

[Bowser]

Snaer is taking some stupid shots early...

 

[Vanillalite]

Hate on me if you will basketballs fans, but I want to like the tourny yet believe it's over hyped. Realistically these days there are about 10 schools with elite head coaches that coach well year in and year out (minus a random bad year here and there), get a lot of the recruits, and legitly have a chance to win it all. Everyone else is just playing to make the sweet 16 and maybe have a random break out year every few years and make the big 8 or final 4. They still won't win it all though.

The 1st 2 weeks of the tourny are supposedly zomg amazing with awesome moments and a joy to watch, but it's just a charade that always ends when you get to crunch time and the final 8 teams.

 

[jjasper]

So as of right now the big east teams in the sweet 16 got there cause they got lucky enough to play big east teams in the 2nd round? :jakncoke

 

[Kevtones]

Damn, if UW and Pitt had gotten the job done I would've had a nearly flawless weekend.

It's sure as hell better than the BCS, where the small programs don't even got a shot because the large ones have locked them out.

 

[Meier]

Full court press always gives this team nightmares.

Christ, taking shots with so much time on the clock. Ham better kick some ass during this TO.

Not even sure what your point is(?). Do you think a 32 team tourney in football would be great or would the top teams still mostly win, ignoring injuries, etc?
