March Madness getting close!!! (Page 3 of 5)

They definitely got the Vols attention. That game was much closer than expected IMO.

I think you'll be fine. Amoke only averaged 4.8 points per game. You might miss his presence on the boards, but I think that will be made up for in the team rallying, and feeling like their backs are against the wall now. But Pitino's a great coach...it's going to be a real test for sure. Good Luck J Dawg!

Haven't even looked at a bracket, let alone filled one out to wager on this year. To be honest I'm enjoying the tourney more this way instead of being frustrated every time a pick goes wrong. WVU is a sentimental favorite since my Dad was an alumni. Other than that I would like to see Cal & Ohio St. advance as far as they can.

                                                                                             GO BEARS!!!!

Score another one for the Pac 10. Your vote of confidence rang true Stu, the Bears put a smack down on Pitino's crew. The 12-0/22-4 start was amazing and when the Cards came within 4 in the second period I thought Cal had shot its wad too soon only to put the pedal to the metal and seal the deal. Pitino was obviously frustrated getting a technical late in the game. The Bears reward..........Duke, now there's an upset if it were to happen.

                                                                                   Roll On You Bears!!!!!

Here's the story, we're goin' for the glory
Look out mofo, you're in Bear territory!

Well, start a thread jakey and see how many bites you get. We have a local core of US Rugby talent here in San Diego. Our national team has become better each year and are competitive in 7 man. Still a long way to go though against the likes of the S.A., N.Z.  and Euro powers.

edit: the NCAA basketball tourney is a mania here in the states.

Jakey, the Cal rugby dynasty......24 National Championships in the past 30 years. It's a shocker when they don't win it all. Sadly they receive little notice in the media. College athletics is all about football and mens & womens basketball as far as the media is concerned.

jdawg- I thought I'd find a post from you.     Now that its over, I wish St. Mary's well, some of the stuff I read thought they wouldn't get past Richmond.  It seems that they missed a bid to the dance last year.  It was a good game, fair officiating, lots of tying it up, exciting 3 point shots, they kept 'Nova on the run the whole game...but the 3 point shot right at the end from St. Mary's was the nail in the coffin, so to speak. I think St. Mary's has 2 players from Australia, the really big guy has great foot work.  "Nova needed Scottie Reynolds to show his stuff, in order to win that game.  I was glad that Villanova looked better than the first game, but they didn't get it done.  And so until next year...   

Then I caught the last 5 minutes of Murray State...they almost upset Butler...2 point game.  March Madness is the best.

I can't believe how Kansas is getting a run for their money...

Kansas was like the UNC favored of last year, what an upset, but I have to say, after I caught some of the game Friday before the half between Kansas and 16 seed Lehigh, I knew Kansas could be beat.  Let's just say, Vegas took a hit on Kansas losing!

And St. Mary's is intrigued with the land down under...they have 5 players from Australia.  One of my hubby's old fraternity brothers is the voice of Villanova radio, he said there was an aura of confidence amongst the Gaels, they had the Cats totally figured out.  (based on whatever stuff was going down before the game)
