The 2nd round curse is over for the Zags.

The Aggies were really making the most of their rare tourney appearance, weren't they? 
I wouldn't be surprised to see LSU play better against Duke than they did against A&M!

now that NC, Tenn, Iowa and Kansas are out... my bracket is officially fucked.
my final four is still intact... but damn, my elite 8 is full of holes.

I got the four top ones left, but I am in the same boat as you 
Posted: Tue Mar 21, 2006 2:06 am
I think the only potential elite 8s I've got left are gonzaga, UCLA and the #1 seeds.

...I'll be damned...guess who just knocked off Duke...
Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2006 3:49 am
yea, some of the experts had picked LSU. I think they matched up quite well against Duke - matchups that favored LSU.
I hope Gonzaga can keep up the ass-kicking of UCLA, but I am sure the Bruins are going to have a run in them yet.

yea, here comes that run. Dribble penetration into the zone.
Funny how quick the fates can change in college bball.

I've been noticing something. The ref's aren't necessarily giving the games away (uconn still had to hit the 3 at the buzzer)...but, it sure seems like the teams that the markets (vegas, tv, etc.) would want in the game are getting there in some games. Like the refs are doing all they can to at least keep a team in the game...Maiden wrote:what crap.

Yea, a few others see what I'm getting at:
"After watching many of the games, it almost reminds me of the point shaving scandal of the 1960's, but this time, instead of the players determining who wins, it's the referees. I've never seen such one sided officiating in my life. As far as the outcome of the tournament, it's probably already been planned, just as "Championship Wrestling" is. Case in point....the officiating in the Boston College/Villanova game. A player actually gets pulled to the floor by an opposing player and is called for traveling? A player gets mauled and there is no call? I saw the same thing happen in the Duke/LSU game. Of course Redick had an awful game, but the officiating was awful once again. UCLA/Gonzaga....a brawl with invisible officials. Next up folks, you'll see more of the same until you have your National Champion of Brawlball. Count me out, after tonight (3/24), I'll watch no more. It won't be the players that will determine who the National Champion is, rather, it will be the referees. The only way I'll see another game is if I'm asked to be a referee. Maybe the refs should trade their striped shirts in for orange prison coveralls. "
