March Madness

That UConn win over Duke was incredible. Coming back after down 19. Shooting 1-18 from 3 until late and winning on a steal and long 3 at the buzzer.
Not that I am a UCONN fan but I love seeing Duke go down.
Maybe gives Illinois a better chance. Would be great to see an all Big Ten Final

I dislike each program for different reasons.

Hurley is a puke.
Duke is entitled.

Now I hope Illinois runs all over the Huskies.

Same I wish both woulda lost. Yeah how that ended was wild and all. But I have zero give a shit with either team.

It would an incredible finish. That miracle shot covered up some HUGE mistakes that Hurley made in that game. They were down 3 and melting away the clock and then failed to foul right away with 10 seconds left. It worked as they got the turn over but that Duke player should have just turtled with the ball and waited to get fouled.

Hurley reminds me of Tom Crean, a nerdy squirrely looking guy who acts weird but gets good enough recruits to win with.

For me, the tournament ended Saturday at 7:30.

I love that mentality, but we were playing on house money and made a run no one expected. While it was a hard one to swallow I can't help but stop watching the tournament regardless of how close we were. Lots of great basketball this year. And as much as I loved the ending of the Duke game I threw up in my mouth knowing Hurley was on the winning side of that moment, but can't fault his players that played their asses off down the stretch. Just hate the guy with a passion.

I was as disappointed as the next.

However, with my Youtube TV package, I watched B1G BB almost nightly.
I really got to know the league (players, coaches, inside stories).

It's been very entertaining...so with that said, I'm still very much invested in the tourney...especially rooting for the B1G to place two teams in the champ game.

From the Athlete concerning Illinois:

A transplanted European professional club, which presumably means a run on Marlboro Reds in Champaign,

MIchigan:

A team that is second best at its own school at playing basketball.
