Elite Eight--Saturday thread

[UMass922]

UConn and Missouri underway . . .

[UMass922]

Entertaining game so far at the under-12 timeout. Missouri's not going to go off for 100 on UConn's defense, though by the looks of things so far, they might give up 100.

[UMass922]

Missouri takes its first lead, 50-49 with 13 minutes to go. UConn not playing well at all in the second half.

[UMass922]

I need UConn to close this one out to keep my bracket alive. Three-point Husky lead with 1:53 to go . . .

[UMass922]

Strong finish by UConn to win 82-75 and get to its third Final Four. UConn won the title the two other times (coming out of the West each time, too, as it did this year).

[UMass922]

I need Pitt to win to have any chance to win the AGS pool. If Pitt loses, I'm guaranteed to finish at least behind 89Hen.

HELLS YEAH, 'NOVA!!! WHAT A FINISH!

[UMass922]

Wow, great, great, great game!

[Tod]

That was a GREAT game! I wasn't watching, I was just getting updates online, but when I saw how close it was toward the end, I had to watch the end on TV. Glad I did.

Go 'Nova!

xthumbsupx

0-2 today. Lost half of my Final Four in Missouri and Pittsburgh, and my National Champ in Pitt :( :(

[brownbear]

I thought this would finally be Pitt's year to make the Final Four or even win it all. Too bad.

One thing we can learn about this game is.. you can't trust jamie dixon in a big game

Huh??? Rt 30 through nova is a pretty small road. Heck, it pretty much shuts down when the legions of Delaware fans walk from their tailgates to the stadium, and then it shuts down again at the end of the game when more than 50 people need to get out of the parking lot.

With that said, great win for Philly basketball and hopefully it continues past the Tar Heels - nova knocked off big bad UNC on their last trip to the title, could happen again. xthumbsupx

Are you trying to jinx my bracket? xrotatehx I'm in first in one bracket and in third in another - the guy in second picked Louisville for his NC, so he's pretty much done. The guy in first has UConn, and I have UNC so I'm not sure what would happen if it becomes a Michigan State/Villanova matchup (although I think that's unlikely). I don't think many people in either of my brackets expected the Louisville loss, present company included. xnonono2x

The only final four team I guessed right is Michigan State. No $$$ this year. xmadx

Eh, I can't stand UNC anyway - one of the few teams I always root against. xpeacex
