lol Florida and Auburn lose in close games in last 5 minutes.

Auburn was given about 10 opportunities there

Loving in the Madness today..hope it doesn't lead to sadness tomorrow

 

[HisIceness]

Pretty sure I picked Auburn to go to the elite 8.

I can never get these upsets right lol

I can never pick Kansas correctly. I pick them to win it all/FF they flame out. Pick them to choke they win it all/FF.

They were easier to pick when Roy was coaching.

Watching the Oakland / NCSU game. Two random observations:

1. Jack Gohlke looks like an adult Eddie Munster
2. Basketball shorts are back to the length they were when I was playing regularly (we didn't have compression shorts to wear underneath them, though)

 

[Tryamw]

That should be NCSU ball state guy touch it but the passer was still in contact.

OT... so close

Refs just took State to the woodshed.
States guys fouled out and then they played better

 

[HisIceness]

Kevin Keatts and his merry band of misfits are still playing. Wow!

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Never doubted them for a second

 

[the halleJOKEL]

[MinJaBen]

Original last line is always the best.

You know it. Sad to think that it could all be over soon.

I love the tourney events and that atmosphere. Will say the pep bands from the SEC and Big X schools really bring it.

ACC started this garbage and mishandled it at every expansion. It’s pretty fitting that they could be reduced to a 3rd tier conference soon, if a conference at all.

Kansas got a very favorable call at the end of their game. Clean block called a foul.

Sounds like your average Big 12 officiating.

If you want to go way waaaaaaaaay back the Big East were the ones that really f***ed things up back when they rejected Paterno and Ped State.

I've heard that it was Big East basketball that rejected Penn St.

But I've also heard that Penn St. football demanded 2 home games for each away game as a condition to joining the Big East, which if true had to be a major contributing factor.

Whatever actually happened, I do miss the halcyon days of Big East basketball.

The Big East 30 for 30 mentioned something about Penn State not being in a "market" but also hinted the basketball program was weak, not sure about the Penn State "demands" but I believe it.

And yeah, the Big East tournament was always a great watch. Can't remember the year but I think it was UConn and Georgetown that played 6 overtimes for the title. That was something else man.

Syracuse - UConn, 2009 (not the final, though)

Yep, all those schools were still independents in FB (if they played at all) and Penn State was trying to get them onboard with getting the football side of the conference off the ground.
