It'll never be vacated. The NCAA has no problems vacating stuff like appearances but they never pull the trigger on pulling a title. Just ask UCLA or UNLV. The punishment always comes after the banners have been hung and they remain. Kentucky's next coach is likely fucked though! As for the APR it's...

Shine

I think green is a more fitting color choice than blue, what with UCLA paying to get the kid there. It always works well for a program in turmoil to recruit a kid the NCAA has already sent letters out about questioning his amateur status. But I'm sure the arena being back open is what influenced his...

Am I having a discussion with Van or with brad? I thought it was Van but the continued ducking of direct questions and moronic comebacks has me second guessing things. Yeah, a committee that publicly releases their rankings and immediately conducts interviews to answer questions about said rankings ...

Really glad now I took Xavier to knock off Duke in the second round and had MSU beating Mizzou in every bracket.

Other than IU, for me these are the must watch games of round 2:

- New Mexico and Louisville
- Murray St and Marquette
- Cincy and F$U

I'll watch every game of course though!

Shine

Shine, that merely proves my point even further. The eventual champion was almost always a #1 seed, so all the rest was just pointless filler. Actually it proves my point. How did those teams end up as 1 seeds? By proving DURING THE REGULAR SEASON that they deserved it. No computer spitting out who...

Shine

Honestly that's what I was expecting, to be in UNC's region. And all they would have had to do is swap us and Michigan, both 4 seeds from the B1G. Could've been done easily.

VCU is gonna be tough. A rematch with UK is far from a certainty!

Shine

Lefty, March Madness has already rendered the regular season utterly pointless. The conference tourneys are just the equivalent of wiping one's cock on the drapes before heading out. Poppycock. Or for a word more befitting of this board, bullshit. The regular season is how teams earn their seed for...

Shine

Chalk so far, boo... Never understood this sentiment. I want to watch good basketball. Typically that means better teams, which typically means better seeded teams. I could care less about a Cinderella story. The title game last year was dreadful because Butler was severely outclassed in the talent...

Shine

Certainly some suspect calls/no-calls down the stretch but the refs aren't why UNC-A couldn't close the deal. This is just another in a somewhat long list of 1-16 games where the 1 seed looks ugly but wins. Survive and advance. As a favored seed playing late in the day I do NOT like how chalky the t...

Shine

Murray St looked good today. I think they'll match-up well in a presumptive game with Marquette.

Shine

Not offended by any means, just not sure why IU became the consensus upset pick. There's one every year. And to your "embrace the underdog" point, that's something this IU team does very well. In many ways having "everyone" picking against them could be the best thing to happen t...

Shine

Because I don't care what anyone says about the four games already played (which I did watch most of), the tournament hasn't started yet. - It's by no means guaranteed to happen but I really hope that Michigan St and Missouri play each other. Outside of any IU games that is the one game I'm most loo...

How about the fact that a cheating ass UK squad is on the verge of winning a national title. And the fact that the NCAA has shown they'll punish a school and take away a FF banner but turn a blind eye to revoking a title banner means Unibrow and his $200K paycheck are about to cut down the nets.

Shine

And just who the fuck is this “little brother” you speak of? That would be YOU Mizzou. You know the weaker sibling, the one who no matter how hard they try just can't measure up to their hated rival. Despite all your bravado the fact remains they (Kansas) are the far superior entity (again speaking...

Shine

I'm sure the hatred is a bit more intense from the Mizzou side of things. Typically those with little brother syndrome have the greater amount of hate. As a fan of college hoops I love the intensity of the rivalry and it always makes for good viewing. But so do the Illinois/Missouri games for me. Ka...

Good stuff in this thread. Just wondering if I should point out that Mizzou fan might want to crack open a dictionary and look up unrequited though.

I think tO$U fans care more about what St. Urban ate for breakfast this morning than anything basketball related.

Then you have the 49ers. Last year they were the popular pick to come out of the crappy division, and they promptly fell on their faces. This year everyone is writing them off. Despite the single biggest upgrade in the NFL: Coach Harbaugh for Coach Singletary. Their D took a small step back but is ...

Of course what I meant to say was that the Bengals had a very great season with so many young players in key roles, but Houston was going to win. :grin: Props to the Texans. That pick 6 before half was a killer. Start the second half in a tie game with the ball the mentality for the Bengals is vastl...

Sorry it'll be a brief one though. You never should have won the first meeting and you sure as hell aren't winning this one.

I was just coming over to put this topic up!! Much like ACCPN tilting the matchups, this prediction thread is an annual tradition. Michigan at UVA- wouldn't be shocked to see the Cavs pull this out since it is a home game but I think this scUM team is legit, so I'm rolling with the maize and blue. B...
