Bullshit...i really do NOT like Pittsburgh.
Pulled it out of their asses tonight as it all came down to 3 crucial possessions in the last minute.

1. Down 2, Pitt misses and Xavier grabs the loose ball and heaves it down court as no one was open...
An Xavier player gets to it first only to barely step outta bounds on the Pitt baseline.
2. On the ensuing possession, Pitt takes what really was a bad 3, but the dude meshes it! Pitt up 1
3. an Xavier guard clearly was looking for his shot (being a senior he wanted to step up),
over-dribbles and forces into Blair, losing the ball..Pitt picks it up for a breakaway layup..Pitt up 3, gave over.

Incredible how you can play so well (defensively at least) and everything come down to 3 possessions in a 30-40 sec span that u let it slip away

REALLY pullin Villanova in the next game

It's a team that is easy to hate....

Ugly style of play for the majority of the tournament, but they know how to grind it out like nobody else. I'd rather win games like they've been winning, than play in contests like NC, blowing out teams by 40+. They'll be well prepared for the rounds to come.

Ya they're def a team built for the tournament..well said
Only way i'm ok with them winning is that they're Big East..and i've always been a Big East slappy

Missouri's up 19?!?

Mightily surprised and pleased with Villanova and Missouri last night.
Obv i knew they were good, but not this good.

Tonight's predictions :
1 N. Carolina - 4 Gonzaga : 1 N. Carolina
- but in a very well-contested, high-scoring game

1 Louisville - 12 Arizona : 1 Louisville
- not in a blowout, but somewhat comfortably

2 Michigan St. - 3 Kansas : 3 Kansas
- really pullin for St., but something about Kansas

2 Oklahoma - 3 Syracuse : 2 Oklahoma
- but just barely...maybe best game of the night

Goddamned memphis. Just ruined my tourney. I had them going to the final, and after watching their first round game, I wanted to take that pick back.

I did however, pick 'nova over duke, with nova losing next round to pitt.

This years freshman Memphis team is no where near las good as last years team that went to the finals. Missou's win didn't surprise me at all.
