March Madness
 
For those of you out there whose school is playing in the NCAA tournament this year, how is your school doing?

Fortunately, the Fighting Illini did not succumb to the "upset fever" that has been running rampant the last two days. No problems whatsoever with Northwestern State this afternoon. Still a long way to go though...

Unfortunately for my school, Hawaii (#12 in the region), they just lost to Syracuse (#5). They were just too much for us this time.

Still, winning the WAC last week left my state in pure euphoria. We haven't won the WAC in 7 years! They were the talk of the town in Dayton this week, and I'm sure the team had a great time just being in the tournament.

Well, BU lost to traditional America East power Hofstra in the AE tournament (yeah that's really sarcastic), but at heart I'm still an Iowa Hawkeye - and the hawks won their first-round game over Creighton 69-56. It was sweet - especially because a few of the players for Creighton are from rival high schools back home, it's always good to beat them no matter what!

The Arizona Wildcats won their first round against the Eastern Illinois Panthers!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

It would be great if we won the championship since Lute Olson, the coach, lost his wife this year to ovarian cancer. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif It was such a sad time for this town. They really loved Bobbi Olson and they LOVE their Wildcats!!! The school spirit in this town is truly unbelievable.

BEAR DOWN ARIZONA!!!

The men's team at LSU is not in the tournement this year. It's been a very rough season that I would be glad to go into detail at a later date.

The women's team won their first round game against Arizona State. Next up Purdue.

Anyway, I'm doing brackets on Yahoo and all the upsets are screwing me up. It's a good thing I play for fun,cause I really suck at the brackets http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Who would have thought that Iowa St a #2 seed would have been bounded from the 1st round? And who would have thought Hampon would have made it to the second round?

As you can see I'm a HUGE basketball fan. I hope that everybody's favor team does well in the tourney. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Go Michigan State--men's side

GEAUX TIGERS and La Tech-women's side

I was there from 1992 to 1996. I can't even remember very many of the guys I watched play in those days...Deon Thomas, Andy Kaufman, T.J. Wheeler, Kevin Turner, Kiwane Garris, etc. We were OK back then, but nowhere close to how good we've been this season.

BTW, we went to Indiana State for walkout my sophomore year. Good time, good party.

Hi gang...

I know it's not exactly March Madness or the NCAA but...

Our womens team made it to the Final Four of the WNIT!!! Post-season games hosted on my campus quadrupled the size of attendance!

Our girls have gone further than our men, and they meet New Mexico in the semis, the winner meets the winner of the James Madison/Ohio game!

Usually our girls get no respect as the guys usually steal the limelight...but we're very very very proud of them!

Hi guys!!!

The Arizona Wildcats are playing right now!!! They are playing Ole Miss and it's been a close game. I think it's 31-26 (Wildcats). However, it's still anyone's game.

Amy - you are too funny! Congrats!

My little Indiana State University made it past the first round but Gonzaga was too much and lost.

University of Connecticut men didn't make it at all but the UCONN women are doing awesome!

GO ARIZONA!!!!

They are leading 41-30, with 17:26 left in the SEcond half!!!

They are from te West Coast, and I have followed them ever since I was in 7th grade, in 1997!! LOL, I made a bet with my sister that Arizona would win over her fave team, Kentucky. I won!! Hopefully the Cats go all the way to win the whole thing!!

I cannot even begin to tell you all how happy I am about them going to the championship game. Every win is so emotional. We have had signs around Tucson and Minneanopolis that say FOUR BOBBI with a U of A "A" next to it. It's just so damn sad. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

newbie...
7TH GRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O.K. I feel old!!! I was 20 when we won in 1997. That was my FIRST year here. So, it would be super cool if we won this year...for my LAST year here. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

newbie 04-01-2001 12:10 AM

Shopgirl! Hehe, I am young, still in HS http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif you must be excited about graduating, congratulations!!

Do you remember how great that '97 Championship game was?? How the 'Cats went into Overtime, and how the team had Mike Bibby and Miles Simon then? BTW, do you know what happened to those two? I know Bibby is, I think, in the NBA with Vancouver. I don't know what happened to Miles though. It was soo cool when we won in '97!!! Hehe, I called my sister during overtime and I demanded her to pay me even more (I had only betted her 5 bucks). She was a UCLA Bruin then! Her fave team, of course, is UCLA, but her second fave team is Kentucky http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I am so sad over Bobbi Olsen's passing-away. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif. I of course have never met Lute Olsen, but he seems like such a nice man, and definitely a great coach!!!! I was jumping up and down, up and down, when we got to the Final Four last week. And you can bet, that today after our win over Michigan State that I almost rocked the house with my screaming and jumping up and down!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif My voice is actually still kinda hoarse http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif. I just want Arizona to win it all for Lute Olsen, and his wife Bobbi. It would be so tremendous for his team to win it for the memory of his wife!! I heard that the team was very close with Bobbi, and I know that it hit them very hard this year, as it did w/all 'Zona fans! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif. I think I might get, um, emotional http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif, if the 'Cats do win it all!!! Like possibly tears maybe?! I know that I will be so overjoyed, and that my parents will kill me, cuz I'll be jumping up and down and never stopping, LOL http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Arghh, I kinda wanted our opponent to be Maryland, cuz I personally think it would be easier to beat Maryland. However, it's OK, Duke will be a good opponent, but we will beat them down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For Bobbi Olsen, and all 'Cats fans everywhere!! I"m sure that the city of Tuscon and the whole state of AZ is pumped right now!! Sorry so long, Shopgirl! OK, back to studying for my Math and Chem tests on Monday. Yuck!

P.S. I do hope that they win it for your last year, too!

However, our love wasn't enough tonight. The Wildcats lost to Duke 82-72.

But hey, what a great season it was. We came back after a shakey beginning. They really are a great team with a lot of heart. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Maybe next year, Arizona. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

newbie 04-03-2001 01:23 AM

Ughhh, Duke gave us a great game today. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif But yeah, I could feel that it was over during the last few minutes, when the shots just weren't going our way! (Goaltending, losing the ball, etc...)

Shopgirl, and all U of A fans, I felt so sad when I saw CBS' interview of Coach Olson. He remained strong with his answers, but I could tell that he was very disappointed...but I am glad that the Arizona team has represented well! I was happy when Coach said, "I told them that they all had to be proud of themselves...they cannot hold their heads low, because they have played wonderfully."

I wish Coach Olson and his team the best!!!!
