In their analysis of the matchups and predictions the dumb ass freep just gave an edge to Beilein over Wright.

Don't read the freep bro.

I usually don’t but after last night I wanted to see what kind of delusional crap they’d put out. He did pick Villanova 77-70.

lol, that's a pretty convenient timeline.

It's just a play on "blue."

Why the fuck are you watching ESPN?

To be honest I just stole the picture off Twitter

[SawGreen]

Ya think? Izzo:. 7× NCAA Regional – Final Four (1999, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2015)

Right, but it is still a good commentary on the state of ESPN that they are doing pieces on team colors.

I am curious, though, how many teams without blue as a color have been to 3+ FFs in that time period? Obviously us. Any others?

And why wasn't Florida included? They went in 2006, 2007, and 2014 and won it those first two years. Unless they were listed under UCLA?

Because ESPN's factcheckers suck - but we knew that.

[steveschneider]

Speaking of ESPN I noticed Jalen Rose hasn’t called for players to boycott the NCAA tournament recently. I wonder why?

Because he's too busy hanging out at crack houses and getting DUIs.

That shit was vacated, bro.

First team to make the finals a not beat a seed higher than 5?

If this shit ass Michigan team wins it all, I might kill myself....

I'm not sure anyone should kill themselves

You’re right, it does seem drastic. I’ll just start cutting again.

I do think Villanova has a great shot at winning but I’m at peace with whatever happens. I can’t worry about matters I have no control over. Buckle up tomorrow is going to be wild!

You’re right about having no control over those events. I get it and accept it. Given all that’s happened over the past couple of years, beginning with the death of Mike Sadler, something like a scum loss on college basketball’s biggest stage, would make for an enjoyable moment.

I have a lot of hats. You’ll need a trailer.

So, help me out rules guys.  A girl on Mississippi State just dribbled the ball down the lane.  threw the ball up over to ND girls, and re-caught it five feet away.  Is that traveling?  They ended up scoring a three pointer to go up five with a minute fifty left.

If it's deemed a shot attempt it's not a travel

[DWags]

58-58 40 seconds left guys.  Turn it on if you want to se a close finish in a NC womens game.

[aualum06]

That's a shooting foul, should be three free throws

[aualum06]

What a shot

[DWags]

What a shot

Amazing final four.

[aualum06]

I'm glad the refs made sure we played the last .1

[DWags]

I mean a miracle could happen.  I dont' get the last play though.  Why not throw it up to the three point line and volleyball it towards the rim?

Yeah at least flop or something out there and pray for a shooting foul

I can't say it is enjoyable if they lose, because the fact is they're on that stage. It would be a relief, but unless they get trounced by 40, showing how lucky their run had been and how far they are from Top 2 level, it's hard to find it enjoyable. The fact that they're on that stage is shitty enough.

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

How far they are from top 2 level? Wat?

[Watch Out Pylon!]

You guys shouldn't be talking shit about OTPT's favorite team.

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

Favorite may be a stretch, it’s more of a respect thing. Not sure this should surprise anyone after they wiped the floor with us twice. I’m too old to get all bitter and crazy about their success. Root against them? Sure. Downplay their accomplishments because of how teams in front of them ended up? Weak.

I don't think they're anywhere near the top tier either. Probably top ten though. They just got a favorable draw to get where they are now. I'd like to see them get blown out by 30.

[DWags]

Michigan’s having a great year. Just appreciate it. God you guys are dorks.

I hope they lose Monday.

[Watch Out Pylon!]

I'm with Cameron. Everyone on this board is a blue. Probably not going to kill myself though.

Fucking blues every where.

And head blue OTPT playing the "I'm too old" card as the youngest guy on the board. 

If you don't hate Mo Wagner with a fiery passion that burns like a thousand suns, you're a filthy, worthless blue.

[Rocinante]

I can’t name one person on their team.
