NCAA Tournament Open Thread

[Dr. Blackheart]

This makes us the best team in the state of WI. Hang a banner!

UWGB and MUWBB still playing, aina?

Good call you got me

#5 Bucky loses by 18
#5 MU loses by 19
#4 Kansas State loses to #13 Cal-Irvine.  They are coached by Bruce Weber, who is from Milwaukee.

This is starting to look like the “x-cub jinx” (the team with the most x-Cubs loses)

The B1G must be a mid major as well.

Cannot celebrate a win for Falwell U.

[Billy Hoyle]

Another 5 seed going down. 3/4, just like when our Golden Eagles were a 5 in 2002.

You all still want Howland?

MSU did not score a field goal in last six minutes.  Sound familiar? 

Another 5 falls, that’s three of them. 

[MUBBau]

Auburn was lucky to win as a 5

[Not A Serious Person]

Another 5 falls, that’s three of them.

And the fourth #5 seed was Auburn that needed a basket in the final seconds to come from behind and win by one.

Which BIG? The Big East (Villanova and the 9 Dwarfs) is 1-3. What's the Big 10? 6-1?

Celebrate for the kids.  Happy for them.

Do you have something against Christians?

This surprises.  What do these athletes have to do with Falwell?

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

They play for a University that he founded.

Their AD covered up the biggest rape scandal in college athletics history at his previous school and Liberty’s president didn’t care and hired him, sweeping it under the rug. Then both hired a dirty football coach fired for not jus rampant cheating but also using state money to call escort services and he lied about it.

I said before the tournament started Buzzard had a cake walk to the Sweet 16 and that remains true.  Would laugh if Liberty knocked them off, but very unlikely.

You think way too much of what we see is luck

Yup, and my best man had to go to Baylor to clean it all up.  That said, I don't hold it against the kids at Liberty on the current team.  A bunch of them on the team before this guy was even hired.

That dude can coach a little bit eh? Or nah, just a lucky draw

[Cheeks]

That dude can coach a little bit eh?

Except his last year at MU when picked 1st in the Big East and doesn't even finish top 5.......eh?  He can get some awesome coverage on the cover of the Chicago Tribune for the school, too....three separate times.

Using the exception as the rule. Tisk tisk cheeky. Be better than that. He runs circles around our coach. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. Don’t try to deny what is known.

Buzz up 22 at halftime. Wojo blown out of the gymin the tournament. Again.

Which coach had his team better prepared to compete? You play the team the committee assigns you to play. Be thankful we didn't have to play V Tech. It would have be even uglier than the game against the mid major.
