We don't matchup with Uconn as well as we do with Duke. Gonna be a very close game. I'll be rooting hard, though. If they beat Uconn, Final Four in Houston is a freakin 3 hour drive from me :3

Derrick Williams v. Kemba Walker is going to be really interesting, even if they don't play the same position I can envision some kind of crazy-*** shootout/dunkfest going down. This will probably be the more hype game of the tournament so far

As much as I love Williams' game, Kemba is my fave talent in the tourney. I'm going to be following this game, even if I don't watch it. XD

VCU is a legit team though, nobody saw them coming. :O


And who the **** is emazing?

Man, I'm so happy right now, but I don't understand why Arizona went for three in that situation.

Stupid UConn ruined it for my school group...

As far as the Smash Boards group, Jane is out of contention.
If UNC beats Kentucky or Kansas wins it all, I win.
If Kentucky beats UNC and Kansas does not win it all, Cutz22 wins.

So I'm currently watching the 76'ers vs the Kings out of boredom and to my great surprise, this has been one of the most intense games I've watched in weeks.

Bosh teams are making big shots after big shots...

VCU dismantling Kansas at halftime, 41-27. Wow. If VCU actually knocks off Kansas, our group will come down to whether UNC beats Kentucky or not.

God damn it

I love refs. I also love missing free throws

The WORST part though is now VCU is just going to lose to Butler by 30 points, which makes me wonder...what's the point then?

But it always seems to happen. Every time a high seed beats Kansas they immediately get ***** the next round. It's like, they only exist to beat KU and then they disappear forever

It's incredibly annoying.

I do like Shaka Smart though, so at least I don't completely loathe the team (like UK and Mich St, ugh). I just wish KU would lose to a power team for once, instead of always being 'upset'

btw Jane are you a student at U of A?

UConn/Butler would be better, Butler really deserves one after coming soooo close last year

My preferred outcome is, of course, a UConn championship. Short of that though, I want VCU to win it all.

If neither of those occur, I'm happy that they both made the Final Four, as long as Kentucky doesn't win it all. I hate Calipari with a passion.

Who doesn't hate that guy...

It was so great taking the championship right out of his grasp in 2008, what better coach for that to happen to

There were riots on the streets of richmond afterwards.

So who the heck is Cutz22? They won, I guess. Can't believe how many things went their way at the end. Anyways, I got second at least, which isn't too bad. Stupid UConn really killed me throughout the tournament.

Should've known those basketball-noobs wouldn't know how to handle success :mad::mad::mad:
U MAD :troll:

But... Richmond's been good for a while now. lol

And Bored is mistaken. He tried to dunk on me, but I threw that **** back to Austin. Afterwards, I dropped trou and he kissed it.

Why is Boston barely beating the TIMBERWOLVES??

What is wrong with those guys right now? >.> They lose one more game and they're down to the 3rd seed.

It didn't help that we didn't have Rondo. Still, they didn't have Love, so it should have been an easier game. Boston's clearly hitting the brakes right now, so the Heat could still get the 2 seed. They still have a couple of games to go though.

Epic showdown between Spurs and Celtics...Spurs with no Duncan and possibly Ginobili. Celtics without...half their team? I don't know anymore.
