    I'm not sure Memphis can be beaten if they're shooting 3s like this. They're already long, athletic (well, except for Niles), and beastly on defense, if the whole team is going to start channeling Larry Bird it's pretty much lights out.

    It would also help if Greveis Vasquez would keep his mouth shut instead of giving Calipari bulletin board material.

    yeah.... The size difference between the two teams is stunning, really.

    My poor Terps just look so.... small next to those tigers.

    Well, they made it outta the first round, which is better than temple did. So i'll be happy with that.

    Regardless of what the MD fanbase tends to proclaim, this was a wholly unexpected run that they should be pretty proud of. If, prior to the UNC win, you asked them, "Second round of the tourney?" - you would have had near universal acceptance.

    oh, I'm proud of it.

    The ACC is still breaking my heart this year.

    Although UNC is slowly giving my heart back a bit of joy.

    I'm happy my Terps got as far as they did.

    But Memphis shooting 10/19 from 3 is just unfair

    Goodbye Dave Neal, you will always be one of my favorite turtles

    sorry, gotta say Go Boilermakers!

    mostly cause I got them in my Final 4....

    Although LSU is giving UNC a good run.

    Although they really should be succeeding on those layups.

    So, clearly the key to dealing with Griffin IS to break up long strings of excellence by beating his ass senseless ever few minutes. I was only half-serious about that.

    Down 1 at the half and Manny Harris only played five?

    Excellent job.

    Anthony Wright is making shots! Could someone check the temperature in hell?

    I also think the kiey to dealing with griffin is to have somebody about equal to his size judo flip him onto the boards.

    I'm sorry, that's still my fave clip from the tourney so far

    Purdue has no answer for Isaiah Thomas. If it weren't for some dubious foul calls on Overton, Washington would be leading.


    Blake Griffin delivers the facial!

    Michigan with a push to close within 5.

    Purdue just burned their last TO with 3:30 left. Brockman shoots some godawful FTs, but he works those boards. And apparently landed jumping on a Purdue guy, ouch.

    Oklahoma's getting the calls. First a charge on Harris that was probably a block, then no call on Blake Griffin going over the back.

    Thomas had that. Washington can't ask for a better shot than a 1 foot layup.

    Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's anything malicious, but the majority of the calls are clearly going OU's way.

    Michigan throwing it out of bounds is not helping, tho.

    that was a GORGEOUS three from OK.

    I was really rooting for Michigan today.

    but that was a Beautiful 3pointer.

    No, neither have I.

    And the annoucer should be smacked.

    Coronation indeed.

    There's plenty more teams to go through before we're crowning Oklahoma Champs.

    ok.. the announcer at the Texas/Duke game sounds like James Earl Jones. The one in the arena, nto the guys on TV.

    How cool could that be for the championship game?

    To have the score and players and things announced by Darth Vader?

    Is anybody else having issues with there CBS feed on their TVs?

    I mean, mine is acting almost as if I were watching a streaming on my computer. jumping, freezing, stalling.

    It's getting rather annoying.

    I dunno. But again, I haven't been watching all season.

    I just got lucky and got a 3day weekend from work these 3 days.

    I have to go back to work tomorrow, and will therefore not see any of the games tomorrow.

    Le pout

    It's probably just me, but doesn't the court at Greensboro seem to be a bit.... slick?

    I mean, there have been bodies everywhere.

    Everywhere.

    Even if you had been watching all year, he only averages like 3 points a game. Yet here he is hitting huge jumpers to bring Texas back to even from a 10 point deficit.

    And WKU with the ball down 2, 25 seconds left...
