Suton is ON FIRE!!! :shocked:

 

[dbk]

Yeah, Louisville's not even guarding him half of the time. He's getting wide open looks.

 

[Baked]

Izzo in the hizzo! Spartans up 3 at the half!

 

[KLin]

What the hell, pass the ball!! :roll:

Yes, Blake Griffin vs Tyler Hanbrough is obvious but what about the underrated Deon Thompson and the emerging play of freshman Ed Davis (especially on the glass)?
OU's Crocker, Johnson, Willie Warren backcourt is not as good as UNC's Ellington, Lawson, Greene.
I don't see how OU will beat UNC.

I agree on the match-ups; Hansbrough has experience against Griffin's power, but OK doesn't look as good at any other position (especially the point). I predict a Tarheel victory, but I don't think it will be an easy one.

I forgot to join the league but I got 80 points so far. Got louisville winning it all, and the only other final 4 team I got in there is villanova

Louisville is picking up the pressure in the 2nd half. Just forced a shot clock violation turn over.

Wow, nice alley-op by Louisville there.

 

[CraKaJaX]

That was beautiful.

 

[dbk]

Louisville is just a bunch of super athletic wingmen who can all shoot, pass, and jump flanked by a couple of true guards and Samuels.

Samuels is such a lump. He reminds me of Glen Davis.

Go Big Ten! It seems every year their strength is underrated.

 

[dbk]

Uh oh...Louisville is in big trouble. Their zone D is really not working...

 

[Baked]

Awwwwwwww shit, Mich St up 10! Plenty of time left though.

 

[Miramonti]

I'm clueless why Pitino doesn't use Clark in the post.

Louisville's aggressiveness is really hurting them right now. MSU shooters are staying home and getting clean looks at the basket.

Agreed. MSU must be the best passing team in the tournament, and Louisville is wasting their legs uselessly trying to smother and double team the ball.

Not to mention the MSU defense...Louisville scored >100 friday and with 3 minutes left doesn't even have 50. :Q

 

[CallMeJoe]

Louisville's not working hard enough on the boards, either.

 

[Baked]

Looks like Louisville's done. MSU is just running down the clock now. Great game by Izzo and MSU.

 

[CraKaJaX]

Wow, what a game. :thumbsup:

 

[state 08]

Final fuckin 4!!!

 

[Miramonti]

MSU is going home now...the Final 4 in Detroit is 90 minutes from their campus.

 

[QurazyQuisp]

LET'S GO STATE!

Izzo delivers again... any player who has stayed with us all four years has made it to the final four.

WOOOOTTTT!

 

[CallMeJoe]

I bet Jeff Capel's blood pressure rises, just seeing Carolina Blue out on the court. His brother Jason must have seriously mixed feelings watching this.

 

[Baked]

OU can't get anything to go in and keep turning over. It's looking really ugly.

 

[dbk]

UNC 13-2 OU

 

[Miramonti]

UNC is going to be tough to beat. They are filled with future nba players, and also have Hansbrough.
