***The OFFICIAL NCAA Tournament Thread***

Is it me or are the annoucners pro Villanova? Have not watched the whole game but the last 10 minutes seems to be more excitement for what Villanova does than what St. Mary's does....

Everyone loves Jay Wright and Raftery is an east coast guy. Can't blame anyone for liking Wright, great coach and a great guy.

 

[SoonersRule]

SMC can't buy a three.

 

[coolm]

well, they have been pretty pro-SM too in this one - having talked up how great SM plays from the beginning. So I don't see it as that one-sided.

Bill Raferty could be the color for an OU inter-squad scrimmage I would find it annoying.

heh

I like Raftery. If only we could get him to stop saying '..."player X" has gone to the bench for a blow'.

 

[OUHoops]

"A Hail Mary for St. Mary's!"

Bill Raftery is so money.

 

[NickZepp]

Wow St. Mary's going to the line to make it a 2 possession game.

 

[Sam]

At least my bracket made it to day three before tanking, thank you Nova for choking.

 

[coolm]

Nova deserves to lose. For a squad that's supposed to have quality guards theirs have played like crap.

 

[NickZepp]

I don't even care about my bracket. St. Mary's is a damn good team.

How about Baylor. They won't face a single digit seed unless they make the Elite 8.

 

[Tony]

LOL @ the Big East

 

[MercedeSooner]

Nova didnt deserve a 2 seed, lose 5 out of 7 coming into the tourney and a flawed team overall.

 

[coolm]

LOL @ the Big East

yep

what's worse. Baylor is the type of team that will give SM problems more than Nova.

 

[ouboomer]

How will ESPN spin the Big East tournament woes......will they dare say they have overatted the Big East overall

what did they do?

 

[NickZepp]

If Pitt, Syracuse, and West Virginia all make deep runs you will hear how bad ass the Big East is.

 

[red recluse]

what did they do?

i'm probably making something out of nothing. samhan was trying to apologize to reynolds because of something reynolds took offense to, and the coaches looked like they were in an interesting discussion.

I still think WVa is a very good team.
