Dude, this Curry kid TOTALLY wasn't worth a scholly.

C'mon, UT. WTF?

Gus Johnson "OHMYGOODNESS _Ha-HAAAA YOUNG FELLA!" (Actual Commentary)

Badgers look flummoxed.

I'm getting the Texas/Stanford game here. It is at Reliant Stadium in Houston. They are blowing the car horn at this one. Not sure what the heck that's all about.

wow..Davidson by 17!

You're right. I was getting the venues mixed up. Still don't know why it sounds weird though.

I hate it, too. I don't like the way the court/stage is elevated 4 feet in the air.

If Davidson holds on and KU wins out this weekend, would that be a record for the easiest final four run in history? We'd get there by defeating a 16, 8, 12, and 10 seed.

Kansas is going to have the easiest road to the Final Four in history.

16 seed Portland State, 8 seed UNLV, 12 seed Villanova, 10 seed Davidson.

Unreal.

This is exactly what they did last game. They built a decent lead against the U, then they let them hang around and hang around and then it was a nail biter.

Davidson is dominating to the point where CBS is cutting away. Oh my God.

Gus Johnson is glorious.

Stick a fork in them. Wisconsin is done.

I'd like KU to win before we start talking about how easy it was.

what the hell else does Davidson have to do to get some respect?

AMEN. :clap:

I bet the Big Ten is really, really sick of the SoCon by now.

Holy Crap!!! Davidson is putting a whooping on one of the best defensive teams out there.

i am thrilled that Wisconsin's style of anti-basketball is going down in flames....

If Davidson got this far, they will NOT be easy to beat. What a dumb comment.

No kidding. They have played some really good teams this year and played them close. They are a good team.

Curry has out scored Wisconsin in the 2nd half...

Tejas pulling away.

Agreed. It would be even better if UCLA goes down next. :D

Dude has been on fire during the tournament.

Davidson is on a roll. they have one 25 stright now with the win over WIS.

Texas owning the twins and stanford

Wow, nobody wants to face the top seeds? I want to be able to say we beat the top rated teams. Irregardless of how good Davidson has played, if KU wins tonight and beats Davidson on Sunday, the media will pull the "they had it easy" crap.

The only thing I got right in my bracket this year was the implosion of the bottom half of Kansas' region. I knew Wisconsin and Georgetown wouldn't make it to the EE, I just didn't know who would make it.

This place is so predictable. If Kansas wins tonight and Sunday the true anti-Jayhawks will go from "scoreboard, bitch!" to "Kansas had it easy not having to play the teams that lost early in the tournament".

Some people thought Georgetown was the strongest team in the region, and Wisconsin was playing very well before today and could have been a #2 seed (come on, Duke?).

You can have a bad shooting night or be a step slow against a Big 11 or Big Least team, because they are a bad shooting night and a step slow. I'm not saying Davidson has the best players in the nation, but you better show up on both sides of the ball because they'll out-hustle you all night.

Curry's 101 points he's scored in the tournament (which is already ridiculous), 75 of them have come in the second half.

Davidson- Longest winning streak in the country 25 in a row.

Oh come on, don't get pissy just because your team is going to get laughed at for having the easiest route to the Final Four in history.

ROFL

Who gives a crap what others say, because in the end Kansas will get to prove what kind of team they really are... If they get out of the region I'd be very surprised if UNC isn't waiting; and after that another 1 or 2 seed.

Eh... it's just like football season. If you want everyone to StFU, win your last game.

Why would they get laughed at?

Oh wait, because Lew Perkins sucked off the entire Georgetown and Wisconsin teams at halftime of each Davidson game.

That guy really wants to win.

No just the orange bowl committee, i actually think this KU team is pretty damn good

I said in the beginning that the Midwest could be the toughest region. with all these upsets, I would say I was accurate. The media calling it easy is just the easy way for them to explain it away rather than giving these teams the credit the obviously deserve.

How in the hell is Davidson a D1 team? They have 1500 students.

Well, I'd pick KU over Davidson. But at this point, Davidson has proved it can play right with UNC, Duke, and UCLA, and have played out of their minds in the tournament. It could be a blowout, but so could any other game.... there's really no reason to think they can't hang with anybody that's left.

Well, I looked it up, and Kansas will not break the all-time record for easiest (on paper) path to the final four. The best they could hope for would be the 3rd-easiest path of all time, and the easiest in 7 years.

Michigan State holds the record for easiest path to the final four, set back in 2001. Before falling to Arizona in the final four, they defeated a 16 (Alabama State), 9 (Fresno State), 12 (Gonzaga), and 11 seed (Temple)

We have 2 teams tied for 2nd-easiest path:

The 1990 NCAA champion UNLV Running Rebels made it to the final four before winning it all by defeating a 16 (Ark. Little Rock), 8 (Ohio State), 12 (Ball State), and 11 seed (Loyola Marymount).

North Carolina also had an easier time in 1991 before losing to Kansas in the final four by defeating a 16 (Northeastern), 9 (Villanova), 12 (Eastern Michigan), and 10 seed (Temple).

Davidson Cinderella ? I would say she has crashed the party ! They are damn good .........

I didn't say anything about not wanting to play the top seeds. I am just glad that Wisconsin's ugly style is gone. UCLA's thugball should be next. Hell, they should have gone out in the 2nd round if it weren't for some help by the refs. Some would say that they didn't even deserve a #1 seed. Sure looks like they had some help getting where they are.

Nobody really cares how you got there. If you get to the Final Four, you are a good team, period. Nobody remembers what number of the seeds you defeated.

:clap:

After last year, I never want to run into that crap in the tournament again.

I want Kansas vs. UNC, and they're much better than Georgetown or Wisconsin. It would be a great game, which could only be better if Jeff Graves came back and broke Tyler Hansbrough's face. :)

I'm not worried at all. KU should walk into the final four. We'll contain Curry, we are awesome at stopping guards because of our size and speed combination. We're fine.

Al North does.

Only because I am a math nerd who works with numbers every day. As a KU fan who doesnt fear Davidson, I'm perfectly happy to see the Badgers go down in flames.

Well, I was trying not to cross that line.... the last time I did, they had just beat Marquette in the Final Four by 40.

Joey just flew off the stage.

ANTONIOOOOOOOOOO

Four minutes in, five Tigers have scored, and even better, we're suffocating Neitzel. This is a nice start.

I haven't noticed it in previous years, but in every game tonight it's taken some time for the 3s to start falling... not only that, but they've almost all been either long or way off.

Stupid domes.

I've got Memphis beating Louisville to win it all.

Heh.

<3

Here's a picture of Willie Kemp:

Izzo is out of answers tonight.

Anderson has been awesome on D.

Doesn't seem like all the calls are going against us tonight either.

CBS just replayed Dorsey's dunk five times and I'm not gonna lie to you fine folks.

I came.

CBS just replayed Dorsey's dunk five times and I'm not gonna lie to you fine folks.

I came.

That call against Dozier for his second was bad, but beyond that, it's been a non-factor.

God damn, we are up by 24 right now.

PIERRE TIME, BITCHES

Memphis just brought in the Fridge Perry out of retirement.

THIRTY ****ING POINT ****ING LEAD **** AT THE ****ING HALF HOLY ****ING SHIT

Scary thing is, Pierre's probably got more talent than anyone on the team outside of Rose and Buckets. He's just too goddamned fat to stay in the game for any decent length of time.

I've never seen an Izzo team so thoroughly decimated. This is unbelievable.

This is embarrassing. Michigan State is getting run out of the building.

Big Ten Basketball: It's faaaaaantastic!

No, seriously, they really have nothing to be ashamed of. We are SO ****ING ON right now that there is honestly not a team in the country that could keep up with the way we're playing.

Five times? :eek:

You must have requested the turbo-charged hormone supplements for "squirters," eh?

:p

I saw KU this on once before. It was in the final four against Marquette. 2 days later we lost to Syracuse. Peaking too early?

Somebody should start a new thread. Holmez isn't exactly keeping up with the tip times.

I dig it.

Not so fast.... :D

First halves...

Memphis: 62% offense, 39% defense
Kansas: 59% offense, 27% defense

Memphis: 4/10 3s
Kansas: 7/14 3s

Memphis: 24 rebounds (7 offensive)
Kansas: 16 rebounds (1 offensive)

Memphis: up 30
Kansas: up 19

It's awesome to see Memphis play up to their potential. The team playing tonight would beat anyone in the country.

Michigan State with a 3-0 run to pull back within 31. Calipari should be enraged.

You're playing the #51 team in the RPI. We're playing the #15 team in the RPI.

What I love about this (and this isn't directed at you) is that some people are STILL saying, as we lead the RPI's 15th-best team in the country by 32, that it's just Michigan State playing bad basketball. We had nothing to do with Neitzel being unable to sneeze without one of our players shoving a hankie in his face, no way no how.

Yeah, everyone thought we had this game in the bag. Michigan State is so terrible...

Yeah, I know... Villanova was the last team in, and they're still overrated.

Yep, those on the outside always seem to have higher expectations than the actual fans. FFs and EEs don't matter to the anti-Jayhawk fans because if they don't win a NC every couple of years or get upset a couple of times they are full-time chokers. And as long as Memphis doesn't consistently make it to the FF or win a couple of NCs, the big conference traditionalists, haters, and idiots will always think of Memphis at best along the lines of a Gonzaga or Butler.

Wow, I hadn't seen that before. Not surprised they picked Memphis, because they're all over the other 1s, but I figured the majority would have said Pitt, Texas, or Stanford before MSU.

Uh, I didn't mean it that way UP. LMAO :p

You know, at this point... if Michigan State could just hold on and sustain... and get this down to 10 or under with about 5-6 minutes left...

we're comin memp-fizz. we are comin

Our local sports guy said the KU/Davidson game will be on shortly after 1pm Central Sunday.
