I still have yet to receive any of my battle for the crown prizes. I assume that died with GF. But I don’t have any confidence in the management of this place so I am not putting forth the effort.

Auburn and Duke in the finale, with The Fighting Pearls cutting down the nets.
Hey, a guy can dream about something other than gay midget porn, can't he?

I've got UK beating the Gaytors to go to Prom.
I didn't pick Duke because of my man love. That's long faded. If my bracket holds true, they'd have Vermont and Wisconsin before they have to face Houston. That's where that last flicker of man love kicked in and said, Fuck Houston. I'd rather see the Devils and Kentucky go at it.

I've got Auburn beating Baylor and Tennessee beating Houston with good guys winning it all.

Hmm. I thought I was the on,y one that had AU/BU with AU winning.
And I had UK/UT on the other side. I just think UK will catch fire and take UH.

I had rather us not have to face that defensive group in the midwest having to match buckets and freethrows.

Im in. AU or bust.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned but you’re about 6 years behind on dues. With the new discount, that comes to around $720. Please pm me your credit card information. Now.

Figured it was Tolu/Bacot and Hubbard/Davis. Then the SEC role players would outperform their counterparts.

While premature ejaculation has been an issue over the years, starting with Phoebe Cates getting out of that pool, I went ahead and penciled in Arizona with a 20+ point lead on The Beach late in the game.

Kentucky is using its JV team so they probably shouldn't be judged in the same manner as other SEC teams in the tournament.

The Cats ferked me!
Got a feeling Kentucky folks will find a way to run Cal out of town. With a huge check, of course.

Bucky Ball out of Homewood made a lasting impression on a blue blood last night.
Clean a block as you will ever see only it came from behind which has always been an automatic whistle.

Yeah I hate it as an Auburn fan.
We turned the ball over each time we got on a little run to go up by five or seven through much of the game. And almost predictably within the last six minutes we start missing free throws.
This Auburn team had virtually no experience playing in close games.
Yale was saavy enough to stay just within striking distance and send Auburn packing. That was their plan and they worked it to perfection.
Congrats!
As a fan of the game I'm disappointed because Auburn was one of a handful of teams that actually play a style of ball that could match up with UConn.
-
Might be an unpopular opinion, but I blame this loss mostly on CBM. Changed the whole dynamic of the game with his foolishness. That and we have a bunch of guys that can’t make the free points when it matters most. Free throw shooting is essential for championship caliber teams. Disappointed that we didn’t play to our potential in this year’s tournament. Still, thankful for the SEC Championship & for what Bruce has done for this program.

Yeah it's unpopular but it has merit. We still had enough to get it done and failed. It's a contact sport.

It was a dumb move, but without prior warning (to CBM or Pearl) that shit like that wasn't going to be tolerated it was an EXTREME overreaction on the part of the officials. An Arizona defender nearly beheaded a kid with a forearm shiver: Flagrant 1, play on.

I certainly didn’t consider the added depth the zebras brought to the Bulldog bench prior to the game.
-
We weren't the championship caliber team I thought we were. We could beat them double digits 7 out of 10 tries only we played right into their hands as was discussed pregame.
It's a great letdown.

Officiating. Plain and simple.
On the trip down the court before, the trust fund baby threw a fist into Baker's face/throat. Official looking directly at it. No call. On the "flagrant 2", the trust fund baby tried to run through Baker from behind. There was jostling. No more egregious than what you'd see on any possession in the SEC on any given night. Just a normal Wednesday "get off me bitch" play.
Auburn's strength all season was its ability to shut down offenses with aggressive defensive play. It was never scoring, guard play, Broome dominating, or any of that. Auburn won because it shut down the opposition. Period. That's who we were.
How many teams scored 78 or more on Auburn all season? EIGHT. Just eight. Auburn lost four of those games. The other four were runaways and the scoring came after the outcome was decided.
When it became obvious that looking sideways at the trust fund babies was going to result in whistles? It changed everything.
Auburn was the same team on the offensive side of the ball it was all season long. Unfortunately it had to play defense with both hands tied behind its back.
That's not an excuse. They still should have beaten Yale. But the confused, tentative team I saw on defense bore little resemblance to the aggressive dominating team we've seen all season.
Those are the facts.

At one point late in the game, Grand Canyon had 36 free throws to Bama's 11. I'm not saying Bama didn't foul, it was a sloppy defensive game the entire time and both teams were very physical. But as physical as both teams were playing, there should have never been a 25 free throw difference in the game.

Alabama didn't need any excuses to play one of their better games last night.
Kudo's to them for rising to the competition and having a really good shot at making the Final Four.
-
Three unexpected visitors showed up last night along with the odds on favorite to set up one side of the Elite Eight.
Climpsom, the Turds, Illanoy and blueblood UConn proved themselves worthy to play yet again as four more hopefull's go down in the tourney.
UConn is basically patting it's foot in the waiting room like an expecting father as this exercise plays out.
I don't know what to make of Duke- Houston but the two early games are gonna be really fun to watch and the late game might be even better if you like long range bombing.

UConn lost two on the road before Christmas to Seton Hall and Kansas. The most recent defeat was at Creighton on February 20. All shot at least 50% from 3 point range while playing within a comparable measure in other categories. UConn methodically does everything better than most teams. You can be playing well only to find yourself suddenly getting farther behind unless you are stroking it like there's no tomorrow.

UCONN is by far the favorite, all Alabama did was bust my bracket as I had UNC winning it all. Houston was always going to lose. I think UCONN and Tennessee are the best two teams left. Purdue is a solid 3rd in my opinion.

Sir Charles, a national treasure.
He was on Dan Patrick a bit ago, talking mostly about college basketball and gambling. Dan asked him how he thought the huge guy from NC State, DJ Burns, would match up against Zach Edey. As only Charles can put it...
Listen Dan, he won't be running over Zach Edey like he was the Duke players. Those Duke boys were light in the cakes.
Dan asked him if he'd ever been broke.
I was broke my first 4 years in the NBA, because my agent stole all my money. I'm not going to say his name on air, but his name is Lance Luchnick. And if I ever see him in person, I'm gonna' beat the holy hell out of him.
When asked if he could ever pull for Alabama.
HEEEEEELLLL NO!!!!!!
Never a dull moment with the round mound of rebound.

Looking at the South bracket, it really comes down to whether or not we get that mojo back. If Broome is doing Broome things, and everybody else just plays plays close to their potential, we're coming out of there. We don't have to be hitting on all cylinders, just playing a solid all-around game, and we're 10 points better than everyone in the region.
A few games/teams of interest in the South:
Bryant may hang with The Fighting Izzo's for a bit. MSU has no stars, but much like Auburn, they come at you in waves of experienced players. Bryant has, I believe, the tallest starting 5 in the game, with the guards both being 6'6". No upset, but maybe a good game for a while.
Yale vs. Texas A&M. Yale is 22-7 in a patsy league. But two of those losses were to Purdue by 8, and Minnesota by 3. They have that piss you off knack for hanging around where they're not welcome. I'm no A&M fan, but I hope they blow those doors in early and often.
My upset special in this region is New Mexico over Marquette. Not going out on a limb in calling for a 10 over a 7, but the Lobos have some nice wins, including over San Diego State, UCLA and USC.

Looks like our typical game against an outmatched opponent:
Fuck around playing sloppy highlight ball, then tighten up and pull away.
On the one hand I'm glad to see the confidence back, but I hate letting a Cinderella-type hang around.
Also can we please provide at least token resistance when someone drives the basket?

Look at the team stats between Arkansas and Kansas. Go on, take a good hard look.
Now tell me why Bill Self is trying to get the ball to Hunter Dickinson for a three pointer inside a minute left to play.
I'm not overly confident about our chances against Creighton. You get a much more disciplined opponent same as you would UCONN or Xavier. I would rather play St.John's because it seems our team relishes playing opponents that we aren't expected to beat because of this built-in perception or need to pretend that we are the scappy unfortunate underdogs left on the side of the road to fend for itself...like neighboring Alabama State.
Our guys play hard when it matters to them as witnessed by the four that mattered most; Duke,
Florida, Alabama in Neville and to some degree Tennessee where free throw misses and sloppy ball handling sunk us in the SEC Championship.

Had to laugh when Tahaad spotted an open Pearl or yelled at the television when Chad pulled a State player to the floor. And just an observation but I think Johni has better form from the stripe than Shaquille O'Neal.
I stepped off a ladder onto the top of my foot about 4 months ago. Chris Moore will not be an asset moving forward. Feet don't respond well to such awkward abuse. Count him out.
-
Some minor bracket damage, but nothing that will impact me past the Sweet 16 so far.
As for our guys, they looked like their old confident selves: felt out the opponent, knew they were much better/athletic and lolled around playing trick ball before tightening up and pulling away.
Odd for a tourney game to be a "get right" game, but we needed that one before we square up with Creighton Saturday.

Steven Pearl after the game.
"About the only positive is that we won the game. That’s about it,” said Pearl. “It was embarrassing, honestly. To come out in an NCAA Tournament game with that energy and that effort, that’s why we lost last year. We’ve got to be so much frickin’ better than we are right now.”
Pearl singled out both Johni Broome and Chad Baker-Mazara for their poor effort. Broome had a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds, but had just one assist, no blocked shots and turned the ball over three times. He was also just 4 of 9 on free throws.
Baker-Mazara had five points on 1 of 9 shooting along with two rebounds, three assists and two turnovers.
“Johni and Chad have to be better. They have to be better in all aspects of the game,” said Pearl. “And if they’re not, we will not win. I would imagine that Coach is going to challenge them really hard right now because they just didn’t bring it tonight, and I have no idea why. No idea.”

Creighton is a very skrong opponent.
A@M got 24 offensive rebounds to our 9 at their place and the favorites in the bottom half of our bracket can all ball including the shamed but improved Carolina.

This is like the third time I have won this over the years. Never once did any of you losers congratulate me.
It’s OK. Just skulk over there in the corner and pay homage to the master!
