tkam Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 I'm watching the high quality stream online (all the streaming is via silverlight) and I'm extremely impressed with the quality. It's probably the best quality stream I've ever seen. Now I just have to keep an eye out for some good games
MoonShine Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 Yes me 2. I am also impressed with the nice quality. My bracket Final Four: Wake / UCONN Pitt / NC UCONN beats Pitt in the final. I need Clemson to do well and get to the field of 8 for me to be in the money though.
guzziguy Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 Now I just have to keep an eye out for some good games Right now, Memphis vs. CSU Northridge. Memphis is struggling and only has a 4 point lead at the half.
tkam Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Posted March 19, 2009 Right now, Memphis vs. CSU Northridge. Memphis is struggling and only has a 4 point lead at the half. That's mostly due to the foul trouble though, three Memphis starters had 2 fouls and missed at least 10min of the first half. LSU v Butler is getting good as well, Butler is only down 1 now after making a short run.
MoonShine Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 Go Butler! Those 8/9 seed matchups are what make or break a bracket.
MoonShine Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 Yes, I have the Huskies going all the way.
JBLoudG20 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 This looks to be our best shot to repeat the 2004 performance. The women are a shoe-in and the men have a great shot, until we lose Thabeet. He just changes the game in the paint. Too bad the students aren't as fun as when it happened in '04. I was a freshman, and it was utter insanity on campus.
guzziguy Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 Yes, I have the Huskies going all the way. I don't think that UConn has much of a chance to go all the way. Losing Jerome Dyson is the reason. Guard play is key in the tournament and not having one's starting point guard pretty much kills a team's chances.
JBLoudG20 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 I don't think that UConn has much of a chance to go all the way. Losing Jerome Dyson is the reason. Guard play is key in the tournament and not having one's starting point guard pretty much kills a team's chances. Dyson's been out most of the season, and they still hung with the best. With Dyson, there is no doubt we'd have a great chance, but I don't think its time to wave the flag. Price is still damn good at the job. However, there is a major hole left, and that surely was demonstrated both Pitt games. Nobody could hang with Young, but Dyson would likely have filled the spot.
tkam Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Posted March 19, 2009 Agreed losing Dyson was a huge loss for UConn. Without him AJ price is the only decent shooter they have to rely on in late games.
MoonShine Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 Yes it was a gamble but I wanted to pick someone besides Louisville, Pitt, Duke, or NC. It came down to Wake Forest, Kansas, or UCONN and I just went with a hunch.
Aura Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 Looks like I'll be 6 out of 7 for the first 7 games today. My final four is Louisville, Memphis, UNC, and Nova. Kinda wishing I hadn't ran with Memphis now, that first game was disheartening. Hopefully they can pick it up next round. We'll see what happens...
MoonShine Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 5 out of 7 here but I had Butler and Cal losing next round so it shouldn't hurt too much.
MoonShine Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 6 of 8 now....need Clemson and Texas to win.
guzziguy Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 uhh go binghamton They are not doing too badly down 83-56 with 2:37 to go. Here's a sport at which Binghamton does much worse. They are getting creamed here.
ojnihs Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Fuck Clemson fucked me so hard, I had them going to the Elite Eight. God damn it. VCU losing by a bucket got me too, damn it. I'm going Pitt, Memphis, UNC, and Wake. Pitt and Memphis in the final with Pitt coming out on top.
MoonShine Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I had Clemson in the Elite 8. I'm toast now. Done. Over. Kaput.
ojnihs Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I had Clemson in the Elite 8. I'm toast now. Done. Over. Kaput. I feel your pain...I meant to say I had them going to the Elite 8 up there. Fuck. ME!
Aura Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I'm still doing alright, only bad move I made was trying to pick a cinderella in Mississippi St., had them in the Sweet 16 vs. Uconn. I'm 12 of 16 so far. Got lucky with UCLA over VCU.
jinp6301 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 They are not doing too badly down 83-56 with 2:37 to go. Here's a sport at which Binghamton does much worse.

MoonShine Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 I am 12 of 16 as well but that is only good for Tied for 31st out of 35 in my bracket group. The leader is 15 of 16 and a bunch have 14.
MoonShine Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Well, hope springs eternal. I am 4-0 this morning so 16-20 overall and now tied for 22nd. Need wins from Arizona and Arizona St.
