Owner Real Deal Posted March 21, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Praying for Cincinnati to take out Ohio State AND for Ohio to beat UNC...somehow, someway. Of course, I'd like to see all of the #1's lose, but that's because it's around that time where I stop caring about my bracket, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Every game tommorow is going to be very interesting to watch. Besides the Kentucky game, I couldn't care less about Friday. I got Cincy in the Final 4 but they have their work cut out for them with Ohio St. Both great defensive teams so I'm sure it will go down to the wire just like Florida St. Super excited doe lol. Cincy showed me a lot beating FSU and executing on offense down the stretch like they did. I don't think this is a bad matchup for them either because Gates is just as strong, if not stronger than Sullinger down low to he won't be able to bully Gates inside. The real x factor is can they stop DeShaun Thomas because Craft ain't gonna beat you on his own. The UNC/Ohio game I still see UNC taking. Just too much inside with the now 3-headed monster with McAdoo peaking at the right time. Louisville vs. MSU is the most intriguing game to me because Louisville is peaking at just the right time and are playing great ball. Siva is playing under control and their shooters are hitting their outside jumpers. Djieng is the key for them if he can stay out of foul trouble I can see them pulling it out. UF/Marquette will be the best game though hands down. Jae Crowder vs. Patric Young is gonna be insane. Oh, and if Kentucky loses a game before the title, its this one.

The matchups aren't the best, but there are some storylines that are interesting. How will UNC play without Marshall or, at the very least, a half effective Marshall?Can Indiana pull off another huge upset over Kentucky?How will Thomas Robinson do against the length and athleticism on NC State? I agree that the matchups aren't great (although I think the Kansas/NC State game will be great) but I think it could be a pretty interesting day. I'm looking forward to the Marquette/Florida game the most today. Should be a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying the matchups tommorow aren't going to be interesting to watch but today's are better. That Florida game should be pretty high scoring based on how both teams like playing up tempo so I'll watch it for sure. I've been hoping that Cincy can knock out Ohio St ever since Sunday lol.

Built Ford Tough Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Wisconsin doing an excellent job of being patient against the zone. Unfortunately for them Berggren, who had 10 points and knocked down 2 3's, just picked up his 2nd foul. He was doing a great job of stretching the floor against te zone. Should be interesting to see how they attack the zone now without him on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Lol at Boeheim blowing off the interviewer there. Sadly, that was probably the most entertaining part of either game so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Badgers are shooting the lights out. 13/21 from deep for them, and they still only have a 1 point lead. Berggren has been awesome for Wisconsin as well. With him on the floor I think they have outscored Syracuse by about 10 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Terrible last possession by Wisconsin. They didn't get the ball inside the 3 point line other than on Taylor's near airball. Tough break for the Badgers, though. If that shot was an airball Berggren likely catches it and gets a layup. Instead, it just grazes the rim and they don't get a real 2nd chance at it. Live by the 3, die by the 3, I guess. The only reason Wisconsin was even in the game was because of 75% of their team having the shooting game of their lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenneral Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Wow Wisconsin.... why not call a timeout? Embarrassing last possession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Wow Wisconsin.... why not call a timeout? Embarrassing last possession. Really though, would it have made a difference? Its not like they were running any sort of sets or plays out there all game. They just swing the ball around the perimeter and launched a desperation 3 with under 5 seconds left on the shot clock. Even coming out of timeouts earlier in the game they couldn't do anything other than swing the ball around the horn and chuck up a desperation 3, which is what they did in that final possession. That was basically their answer to Cuse's zone all game. Michigan St getting dominated by Lousiville. They've been outplayed in pretty much every aspect of the game. It is almost comical watching Dieng swatting nearly everything that comes within his vicinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkinDerozan Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 well, my bracket has gone down hill in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 My pick to win it all which was Michigan St just went down. If Cincy can't win, I'm about to lose my first place spot quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkinDerozan Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 i still have 3 of my four final four teams, and both of the finals team. so i guess i could still do alright with some luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Aaron Craft aka the hand check king. Who cares? If they don't call it he is smart to keep on doing it. Or would you rather it be like the NBA where you can't breathe on somebody on the perimeter without a foul being called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Two damn reasons why Ohio St is up so big: 1. Deyshawn Thomas is ridiculous.2. Cincy can't keep Sullinger off the offensive boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because its something I don't see any other guards get away with it like he does. Its not him hustling harder like people like to say its a [expletive]in foul lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not him hustling harder like people like to say its a [expletive]in foul lol I don't deny he gets away with it, but to act like the only reason why he is a good defender is because he gets some sort of special treatment is a joke. The guy does hustle his ass off defensively and does move his feet very well. He also has very quick hands and does get a hand on the ball quite often. I don't know how the Cincy game has gone since I'm watching Florida/Marquette, but from what I have seen over the course of the season he does get away with more than other guards, but he also has developed a reputation, one that was earned, as a great defender so he gets more leeway. It happens in basically every sport. I'd still take some handchecking on the perimeter over the ticky tack bullshit that we see in the NBA anyday.

Flash Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Maybe so and yeah he's a good defender but he shouldn't be officiated based on a reputation. He literally dove into a Cincy players legs and nothing was called. I'm pretty sure that's not allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Marquette playing right into Florida's hands with all of these perimeter jumpers and quick shots. They aren't getting any dribble penetration, rushing their offense and have missed 17 of their last 19 (or something like that) shots as a result. They need to get back into the aggressive, attack mode they were in earlier. Florida doing an excellent job of increasing the tempo and baiting them into these poor shots, though.
