NCAA Tournament bracket watching thread, Elite Eight

But who would we rather play? Butler or K-state? I think we match up better with Butler, but they would have a huge home court advantage. Thoughts?

K-State might run out of legs…definitely something to keep an eye on.

has a really scary looking coach.

I’d love to be playing these guys next week. Because I’d love to be playing anybody next week.

But you gotta give Meyer props for apologizing to that reporter.

in the sense that, if it’s Kansas State, we’d be the cinderella of the Final Four no matter who the other two teams are. And if it’s Butler, the game is in Indy…we’d be the bad guys. I think we’d play well in both of those roles, if we get past MSU

That said, Butler has been the better team.

lord knows it has not been us yet

And Chism doesn’t wear his headband for CBS interviews, FWIW.

“ride the girl that broug. . . take the girl that. . . never mind, let’s get back to the game.”

Hilarity!

They need to pull it together in the last few minutes. The lead is almost gone.

Butler by 4 with two to play.

That was a great sequence! Butler up 60-54 under one minute.

Only for them, that’s a good thing.

I hope there’s room for a certain 6 I could think of…

Teddy Valentine will be one of the referees for Kentucky / West Virginia.

but the Tennessee fan in me – which is to say, all of me – just wants them to make it through to Indy

Hubert Davis picks us again…Vitale and Digger pick MSU, on the incredibly enlightening grounds of “Izzo will find a way”.

No disrespect to Izzo, who’s done ten times more in East Lansing than we’ve ever done in Knoxville…but look, these guys could at least watch us play and offer a better reason we’re going to lose than “uhhhhhhhh….Izzo, yeah, that’s the ticket. Michigan State.”

Underdogs, HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Is it time to head over to ASoB and ask if Coach Cal will be nervous coaching in his first final four?

that it seems they genuinely can’t believe it when one is actually called

Somehow they didn’t call Wall for an over and back?

I hope Pearl wears a sweatsuit just to screw with Huggins. I wouldn’t put it past him.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be over here, being 12.

Expect to hear from Verne’s lawyer for that, Dick.

0-10 from 2
7-12 from 3

WVU hasn’t made a 2 yet, have they?

they will not know who to call against

WVU 28
UK 26

WVU: zero two-point FGs.

   NCAA officiating chief John Adams heading into the locker room to talk to Shaw. I asked if this is his last game and he said he doesn’t know 1 minutes ago via TweetDeck

   Curtis Shaw barking back at Ky asst John Robic to tell his players to settle down.

The other 4% goes toward Kentucky.

Brad Stevens looks like he’s 18 years old.

I might watch UT/Ohio State again. Or at least the second half.

WVU makes a three

This is Bizarroland.

Left him at the 3 point line…Are they watching the same game?

Yeah. Turnabout, Wildcats.

when Teddy calls a foul favoring John Wall. Admit it – you smiled.

Never seen that before with this crew.

And it’s getting late enough that it might not matter.

is it too much to ask that these announcers just watch basketball?

It’s up to WVU whether or not they can withstand it and win a tight one.

WVU is just trying to let Kentucky back in this. Can you believe that?

Butler, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Baylor?

but I can’t wait to hear Cal answer the question about free throws and threes and say it was God’s will

He was sliding his feet, but Bledsoe lowered his shoulder.

Man, these jokes are fun.

Where’s sddbaker?

Didn’t see this coming. But, I can’t say I’m going to shed any tears if Kentucky loses.

With seven on the shot clock. Yup. That’s league.

They think they’ve lost; ergo, it’s over.

Just saying.

I just love the fact that it is THIS team that took us here.

THAT was a backcourt violation. Go Teddy!

This crew is 20 seconds away from ripping off their shirts to reveal UK jerseys.

A little?

wesrucker RT @DrewRutherford: Wayne Chism is owning some five and six year olds in a heated game of Fisher Price basketball in the lobby of our hotel.

Barrel 1: WVU making ’em.

Barrel 1: UK missing ’em.

UK is not going gently. Finally.

That’s gotta be worth a bonus and a contract extension, right?

Oh, never mind.

What the hell?

WVU couldn’t bring it up the court if their life depended on it.

According to Bill James.

ew…

to see Calicheat lose in the tourney

The SEC needs a rep in the Final Four. Weezy, Pajamas, Death Star, Swiper with your cheering, you know what to do.

GO SDDBAKER!!!

“lexington is on suicide watch lol”

and damned if they want a UT fan making their coffee in the AM.
