In this thread, we'll talk hoops...
 

Okay, I just gotta let it out because my husband couldn't give a whit about March Madness.

After seeing Bucknell top KU (thank god they cut over because my market was playing the very boring Miss/Stanford game--yawn) I'm starting to think UoP might even have a chance tomorrow in round 2. Would it be really tacky if I skipped the wedding shower I'm supposed to be at to watch the Pacific/U-Dub game????

Oh, and if you have to ask...trash talk is ALWAYS allowed in a hoops thread!

March Madness Baby!
I have been known to hang up on folx for calling while watching a game.

When it comes to college hoops, I am all about the ACC (sue me I am a Virginia bred girl). When it comes to ACC, there is only one team for me--The Duke Blue Devils.

Note to self...go and find the Duke earrings I bought 2 years ago.

Mr. 1228 is all about the Big East when it comes to hoops. I guess being from Montreal, that was the closest conference to him.


Folx in my workplace (in Bellingham, WA) are pumped because U-Dub made it to the dance. One of my coworkers has them going all the way...I didn't want to bust his bubble.

Ahhhh these upsets are killing my bracket

I think the entire state of Kansas is in a complete and total state of shock.I'm not too far from Lawrence and I have several friends who are KU grads and I think every one of them called my house last night.

Gooooo IlliNO1s!!!!

Don't even talk to me about that. My bracket is SO shot, it ain't funny! Mr. 1228 is still walking around with his jaw dropped

as tinydancer said in the other thread, my Texas was "one and done", then Syracuse and Kansas..... ack!

i looooooooooooooove March Madness

the guy i'm seeing says that "i'm the man in the relationship when it comes to sports." hahahaha

oh man the Bucknell/Kansas game was awesome. there is this wench of a woman who LOVES Kansas but haha Bucknell won. Hopefully (keeping fingers crossed, NC State can beat UConn and then Bucknell can beat Wisconsin and then we have a chance to advance again because we can beat Bucknell).

i've done my own dream board and i have UNC winning it all. i'm not the hugest carolina fan but they've played very well this year and deserve it. also, my best friend's cousin (who is 12) is dying of a rare form of cancer and she is the BIGGEST carolina fan. i think it would be nice to see carolina win it all before she dies (they're only giving her a few more weeks).

Bracket-shmacket....come on ladies, tell me how much you LOOOOOOOOVE Milwaukee going to the sweet sixteen!

And holy cow, who wasn't on pins and needles for the end of the WV-Wake Forest game????

At least I moved up in the GC hoops tourney. But what is going on with my ACC boys. I can't believe that Wake went out like that! :(

I enjoyed watching the Washington-Pacific game

GOOO TIGERS! sucks that they got beat so bad...

the longhorn women's team lost too... :(
 

Horns come up short on final shot
Georgia holds off Texas rally for 70-68 victory.

oh I KNOW! i went to high school with Eric Williams (Wake Forest) and i was screaming at the tv.....my friends were like: "call up Eric, tell him to play better."

i'm just really excited for NC State.....first time in 16 years we're going to the sweet 16. Julius Hodge is my hero. i found this quote he said comparing the difference between NYC and Raleigh, NC.

"New York is the place to be. I could wake up there at three in the morning and decide to go to the store for some chips and Snapple and there would be cars racing down the street and people walking around everywhere. if I do that here, I'd probably get attacked by a deer."

oh Julius soooo true :)

I am going to get a PM from bruinaphi on this i bet but i am wanting a rematch in the final four between Arkansas and UCLA

Illini in the Final Four, baby!

Illinois is the only final four I have left since my beloved Blue Devils lost.

I want revenge. I want Michigan State to get spanked tomorrow! :mad:
