*** OFFICIAL SECOND ROUND THREAD ***

[Newbomb Turk]

West Virginny giving the d00kies trouble in the 2nd half.

[King Crimson]

they go up 7. if they stretch it to 10, maybe they'll be able to withstand the "creative officiating" that's likely to characterize the last 5-6 minutes.

[Newbomb Turk]

what I've seen, it's been called pretty well - but yeah, you're probably right about the end of the game.

[King Crimson]

if Huggy closes them out, this will have been a pretty lackluster tournament for Duke. one point win over Belmont, L in second round to 7 seed as a 2.

that stripe on WVU's uniform is ill-conceived.

[Newbomb Turk]

I get the feeling the point guard for WVU (#3) could take the ball to the basket every possession.

[King Crimson]

Huggins hair is bizarre.

[Newbomb Turk]

what a game. come on mountain doods!

[Ardmore_Sooner]

I should just tear up my bracket now! :(

[Newbomb Turk]

I don't care about my bracket. I'll take a d00k loss.

[SleestakSooner]

So many brackets about to be busted... mine too but it's a hit I don't mind taking. Ratface and his Dookies going down HA!

[Newbomb Turk]

actually, I have duke winning this game but losing the next.

[Newbomb Turk]

:les: FIRE COACH K !1!

[Collier11]

Wv is going to pull out the win, I dont know why I pick Duke every year to make it to the Elite 8. I guess I am drinking too much espn koolaid!

[PrideTrombone]

Is it just me, or does Paulus look like the guy from Anima House and Amadeus? http://www.bluedevilhoops.com/images/paulus.jpghttp://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2006/01/24/amadeus2501_wideweb__470x354,0.jpg

[Collier11]

whats puzzling is that Duke doesnt have anyone in next years class taller than 6'7'' either. I guess Coach K is going to continue to live and die by the 3

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Wow...once again, my bracket bows out early

[shaun4411]

this upset is similar to the upset ou will be dishing to louisville tomorrow.

[SleestakSooner]

Oklahoma beat WVU in their own state.

WVU beat Duke.

Duke beat UNC.

UNC is #1 seed overall.

OU > UNC ;)

[Newbomb Turk]

big white dude for wisky almost pulled the whole basket down. :eek:

[stoops the eternal pimp]

kstate plays no d

[Eielson]

If WV can beat a 2 seed, we can beat a 3 seed.:)

[soonerbrat]

I should just tear up my bracket now! :(



i had them losing in the 3rd round to texass so it's not messing up my bracket too much. I had UCONN in the final against NC though, so that totally screwed it

unpossible.

[DFQGrounds]

What time do Sooner play tomorrow?

[Newbomb Turk]

Sooner play at 4:00 central.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

wisconsin shuts down k state every time they try and get it close

[stoops the eternal pimp]

k state your done

[sooner518]

this Xavier-Purdue game has the potential to be really good. Lavendar is playin pretty well

[Boomerbrad]

50% of the folks in my work pool had Duke in the E8, and one had them in the Championship game...

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Lavender and that floater of is..

[Eielson]

50% of the folks in my work pool had Duke in the E8, and one had them in the Championship game...

I had them in the Final Four.:(

[Newbomb Turk]

I don't know if the Xavier/Purdue game is ever going to end.

[birddog]

unlv creating a minor stir against the jayhawks.

21-9 rebs. 6 mins left.

[birddog]

I don't know if the Xavier/Purdue game is ever going to end.

i left work with 40 something seconds to go and got home with 10 secs left.

[birddog]

half.

ku 34

unlv 29

[tommieharris91]

Those of us who weren't watching Marquette/Stanford missed a helluva game.

[Collier11]

Ku dominates, I have 29 out of 38 thus far

[Newbomb Turk]

Those of us who weren't watching Marquette/Stanford missed a helluva game.

yeah - it was really good.

[Youngsooner]

A&M ahead by 3 against UCLA

[Norman Sooner]

I had them in the Final Four.:(


My wife had Duke winning it all...I have been giving her crap about it all night..

[stoops the eternal pimp]

glad stanford pulled it out

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Big 12 is looking awesome

[SleestakSooner]

I noticed in the last UCLA game that the C in UCLA is yellow while the other letters are blue. Is this something new or have they always worn their letters like that?

[tommieharris91]

Heh, I had UCLA as my champ. I about lost Stanford today and I have them in my Final Four.

[SleestakSooner]

nm... google gave me the answer


Because UCLA has 100 NCAA championships in all sports. "C" in Roman numerals =100. So the basketball team has the yellow C to celebrate/acknowledge the 100 championships. UCLA is the first school to have the distinction of 100 championships in all sports.

[Ground_Attack]

Gotta love the homer crowds in the NCAA tourney. Even the mention of a neutral court should get someone throat punched!

[SleestakSooner]

and I thought the yellow "C" stood for cowards!

[tommieharris91]

Sleestak, don't tell aggy this.

[tommieharris91]

Anyone else think UCLA got some more help from the refs there? I couldn't really tell if that was a foul or not.

[GrapevineSooner]

Well, the Aggies got screwed on that last play of the game.

How the F is that not a foul?

[Youngsooner]

Looked like they hit his arm to knock it loose... but what do i know

[GrapevineSooner]

I'll say this much.

These refs are NBA ready. :rolleyes:

[Collier11]

Wasnt a foul, damn good game though! If there was a team that could have beaten ucla it was the aggies. All my final 4 teams are still alive now, that was close although I was rooting for the big 12

[GrapevineSooner]

Wasnt a foul

So it's legal to hit a player's arm to knock the ball loose?

You're right about it being a great game and that no-call at the end certainly didn't ruin it. Not to mention, the Aggies were the worst free-throw shooting team in the Big 12 so it's certainly not a guarantee Carter would have hit both FT's to send it into OT.

But the fact of the matter is Carter's arm got hit and then the ball was knocked loose. If you don't think that was a foul, I'd suggest picking up a basketball rulebook, Collier. ;)

[Collier11]

IMO the players shot got blocked and when the arm followed thru he got hit...but that isnt a foul. Just MHO

[Eielson]

Anyone else think UCLA got some more help from the refs there? I couldn't really tell if that was a foul or not.

I personally thought that about half of those blocks were fouls.

[Eielson]

glad stanford pulled it out

I'm not. :(

Terrible way to lose an upset.

[SleestakSooner]

Nova is looking like a sweet 16 team, jumped up early on Siena by 14 and don't look to be slowing down much.

[Sooner98]

Wasnt a foul


http://media.scout.com/media/image/53/532752.jpg

You're right, it wasn't a foul, it was two fouls.

[Blue]

How many of these games have been decided by a foul with seconds left? W kentucky almost got hosed. San Diego too.

[Collier11]

http://media.scout.com/media/image/53/532752.jpg

You're right, it wasn't a foul, it was two fouls.

it is obviously pretty easy to see now that we have this pic and the one on the other thread. The only view I had on tv was from behind the players and I didnt think it was a foul at that time. Thats a luxury that the refs dont have though

[Youngsooner]

You're right, it wasn't a foul, it was two fouls.

That reminds me of Semi Pro.... hah

[bri]

Nice to see though all the haze of upsets that at least I knew what I was doing when I put 'Nova in my Sweet 16. :D

[Ash]

Hook 'em up double digits over thUgs.

Miami might now win this game but they win the ugliest uni contest hands down.

[sooner2b09]

Agreed, they look like the Oregon Ducks of Basketball right now. EWWW :D

It's a freaking Block party between Memphis and MSU - 10 blocks in the first 14 minutes



Are we using this thread for our game?

[King Crimson]

SSOOONNNNERRRR!

[King Crimson]

[snp]

That was stupid Godbold


2 3's from Godbold, that's good.

[King Crimson]

of course i don't like how this one is shaping up, but let's GO, and stick it to the Cards.

[Ton Loc]

GODBOLD ON FIRE

[King Crimson]

Godbold for 3!

?

[oklaclarinet]

Just my luck that the OU game is on the same time as the Arkansas game. Big surprise which one they are showing here.

[sooner518]

is someone gonna make an official game thread?

[King Crimson]

Godbold=unconscious

[sooner518]

DAMMNNN Godbold is ON FIRE!!!! 3-3 on 3s!!!

[KC//CRIMSON]

Good gawd it's Godbold!

[sooner518]

did they just call travelling on Blake? wtf?

we better start guarding Padgett better. He has beeen open about 4 times already.

[snp]

MOVE OVER HERE FOLKS

http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109950

[StoopTroup]

Padgett looks like a dork.

[oklaclarinet]

I would complain about having to watch North Carolina pound Arkansas 37-16, but it looks like the OU game is going about the same.

[Collier11]

well it was a great season, it is evident that as much upside as blake has he needs to come back to school. We could be really good next yr, we will see I suppose

[GrapevineSooner]

http://media.scout.com/media/image/53/532752.jpg

You're right, it wasn't a foul, it was two fouls.

Ball hasn't been hit but his arm has.

Twice.

Yeah, Collier, I'd say you're wrong on this one.

[Collier11]

Yeah, Collier, I'd say you're wrong on this one.

and if you read back where this was posted I admitted I was wrong...obsessed much? Its ok to let go ya know!

[bri]

Just my luck that the OU game is on the same time as the Arkansas game. Big surprise which one they are showing here.

KOTV in Tulsa was using the CW affiliate to show the UNC/Arkiesaw game. So I could flip back and forth from one *ss-whipping to another.

Gah.

[AllAboutThe'O']

Gah.

Why is it my city's cable system carries KTUL but not KOTV? Oh well, it comes into good use during Saturdays in the fall, especially when the local market ABC station shows the SEC game of the week and carries the 2:30 ABC games on a tape-delayed basis.

[bri]

Meh, I'd rather have (week)daily Kristin Dickerson over the occasional OU tourney loss. ;)

[GrapevineSooner]

and if you read back where this was posted I admitted I was wrong...obsessed much? Its ok to let go ya know!

I'm not the one negging fellow posters on a simple disagreement of a call. Nor am I trying to scoreboard other posters about my basketball knowledge.

:rolleyes:

[Collier11]

:rolleyes:

not neggin other posters? Thats funny, and as a matter of fact you are the one "scoreboarding". I never said you were wrong, I simply stated that what I saw live I didnt think was a foul but I was obviously wrong and admitted it. You are the one who kept coming after me about a stupid call that has no bearing on either of us...consider it over, im not here to bicker with you

[birddog]

ladies, take it to a private chat, please. :D

grapevine's good people. he didn't mean any harm.

[Collier11]

We are all good people, im done with it. Ive agreed with GV on alot of things he said, I just dont find a simple call as a reason to start an argument. Having said that, he started it ;)

[GrapevineSooner]

As one to hardly hold a grudge, I apologized in an unsigned spek as I didn't see his earlier post.

My bad and It's over. :)
