3 of the final 8 are B1G 10. Best conference yet again.

Dude..they have good teams year after year but I've been hearing this "best conference" crap as long as I can remember yet they always come up short of a title. Their last one was like 2000 with MSU? If you want claim to the best conference you have to win the title.

MSU and Wisconsin have a good chance but choking in the title game has been a BIG 10 tradition the last 13 years.

Really? Then I guess all you need is one good team to claim the best conference. Good to know.

Can you name a team that has won the title lately that came from a bad conference? ACC, Big East(pre break up, they kind of suck now), SEC all consistently have 2-4+ quality teams AND win the title. BIG 10 has quality teams but fails to win title. That gives you no right to claim to be the best conference year after year.

But I agree with KT. I don't care about conferences I just care about quality basketball and good games. Just hate it when conference braggers always come out this time of the year.

I will hand it to you that MSU and Wisconsin are damn good and I think will make the final four but if history is on the B1G side they will find a way to lose there or in the title game. Now if MSU meets Wisconsin in title game you'll finally have a guaranteed title and have every reason to brag 🙂

damn damn damn, had SD over zona and UVA over MSU which would have been my only hope at salvaging the bracket. don't even want to look now as it's got to be a toast situation.
 
Wow Russ Smith..that guy has no shot at the NBA. Same thing happened two years ago too. His basketball IQ is at about a zero. /weakrant
 
WooHoo!! Huskies shoot down another one.

you're welcome had you played MSU any other night this tourny, you would have been raped by at least 20. Uconn is shit and stupid lucky. and they can fuck themselves next time they play

I hope they die on the way home

You take this to another level don't you?

ROFLMAO!!! UConn is lucky that your team is a bunch of choking losers? Okay. Thanks for sucking. Have a nice day.
 
I would say that it was a horrible second half, but MSU scored just about the same in the first and the second. Defense collapsed, UConn finally made some shots. I was hoping for 3 B1G teams in the Final Four, but here's hoping for Michigan and Wisconsin at least!

Go Blue!

I'm hoping for that to happen, but UK has a serious size advantage. Blue needs to shoot the lights out for a win.
 
Once again weird reffing in the UM-Kentucky game. Calling fouls for breathing too hard on both ends but its ok for both teams to mug each other under the rim with no call.

If UK keeps getting the easy buckets it'll be hard for UM to win this.
 
This game is frigging unwatchable with the reffing. Either call the fouls or let them play. This 50-50 shit is just obnoxious.
