Anything that makes it marginally harder to fire Alford gets a thumbs up from me!!!

SMU fault. No reason to do that.

CatMG · Post by **CatMG** » Thu Mar 19, 2015 2:25 pm

Tough way for SMU to lose. But even it is UCLA, go Pac-12...I guess.

way to lose smu.

(not to mention you had 2 good looks of your own and missed both)

SMU ... what a way to lose. Terrible shot by Alford

And what a way to screw my bracket. I had 'em losing to the Zags in the 16.

Hang em up Larry.

Way to bail out a horrible shot. Fadeaway, contested from way behind the arc

I'd probably rather play OSU over VCU but I just cannot cheer for the Buckeyes.

Both of these teams look pretty average. Perhaps VCU is just above average with OSU just below, but it's tough to imagine either of these teams seriously challenging us through an entire 40 minutes.

I don't know much about OSU or VCU, so I'll just root for OT.

Both these teams haven't looked impressive. I'd rather have the team without a top 5 player though

Fendicent4ever · Post by **Fendicent4ever** » Thu Mar 19, 2015 2:47 pm

If you are Yanick Moreira, you have to go for that play. Its a foot to the right and you can't give up a putback. At least we can hate Bryce that much more?!?!

Any chance FUCLA could beat the Zags in the Sweet 16?

Do you remember their game at Pauley earlier this season?

UCLA fought tooth and nail at in the last two minutes of the game to try and get the game to a single digit loss. They were unable to.

If they can lose to ASU surely than lose to a motivated UAB?

(ahh UAB, has a team ever scarred Jamelle Horne more?)

Pac-12 solidarity is worth a flaming pile of poop. We don't need them for recruiting basketball, so let them all lose horribly.

Nahh, nothing against March Madness but it doesn't come close to the FIFA World Cup. Replace school rivalries with nations and myriads of different cultures around the world, 3.5 million fans inside the stadiums and 4 billion viewers globally.

Well to those people it is, but not in the bestest country. Soccer is still boring anyway..

Worldwide, yea. Not in Murica though. Dont have numbers, but more than half the sports fans I know dont watch the world cup, period, even when USA is playing. Come NCAA time, you got millions playing hooky from work, millions more not working and streaming games or huddled with their buddies in the break room, everyone is in a bracket pool, etc. The constant suspense and drama, the buzzer beaters.. you cant top it.

I understand soccer about as much as I understand NASCAR, so don't watch either. Same with hockey. Icing? What's that?

No doubt futbol is king due to the nature of many nations being poor and all you need to play is a soccer ball. Or a skull if your are an Aztec.

Definitely hoping for that. Let's have them really wear each other out.

Nice elbow. PAC-12 refs would have given him 3-5 years.

gumby · Post by **gumby** » Thu Mar 19, 2015 3:53 pm

So after all we've accomplished, we play either a 10 or a 7 to get to Sweet 16. UCLA plays a 14.

Stripes being very kind to Ohio State down the stretch. VCU guy has to sell that charge, that was the game.
