so is anyone watching UConn and George Mason

[fishwax]

Quite a game this is turning out to be ...

[Ekirh]

1. WOOO

Man this has been quite a game.

[bigwillq]

2. Another nailbiter!

These games have been awesome!

[Ekirh]

3. Yes they have

My jaw is just dropped right now

If you told me at the beginning of this tourney that with 3-4 left in a elite 8 game G.M.U would have a slim lead. . I would've had you committed. Damn this game has been great.

[fishwax]

9. it's been a great tournament

:toast:

[Faygo Kid]

4. UConn should have lost to Washington. They won't lose again.

It would be just too great for George Mason to knock off the UConn behemoth. Getting by Washington was what UConn needed for the title. That's my bet.

[fishwax]

8. that's what I thought at the time, but it's not looking that way now

:wow:

[bigwillq]

10. That was a huge turnover.

This is insane.

[Hissyspit]

22. Oh, really?

[Faygo Kid]

30. Told ya so. UConn is charmed. All others are damned.

UConn will not lose. Heartbreaking; I am not rooting for them, but give it up: No way are they going to lose. It's their title this year. If that missed free throw and (yet another) miracle shot didn't prove it, I don't know what will. Everybody be calm: UConn is unbeatable, no matter what.

[Zomby Woof]

55. You were saying???

:rofl:

[Faygo Kid]

61. Quiet! I am eating my dinner.

[Ekirh]

5. ohhhh

and that was a cringe worthy letting loose of the ball.

[maveric]

6. I'm rooting for GMU!

Love to see the big upsets!

[fishwax]

11. this would certainly qualify

George Mason in the final four? Could it be ...

[bigwillq]

7. Stupid foul.

Does UConn WANT TO lose this game? :shrug:

[fishwax]

12. no kidding. nothing like bailing a team out

after 33 seconds of solid defense ...

[fishwax]

13. oh, the missed dunk

ouch!

[bigwillq]

14. That was a huge miss.

Might come back to bite them

[fishwax]

15. got his own rebound and should have pulled it back out

This is a crazy game.

[bigwillq]

16. Stupid pass by Williams.

He's been sloppy in the last 2 minutes.

[Ekirh]

17. Nerve Racking.. Nerve Racking N/T

[bigwillq]

19. Those were clutch free throws.

Huge!

[Ekirh]

21. HUGE indeed

This is March Madness . . Because this is fucking madening (spelling?)

[fishwax]

18. UConn has ONE turnover in the 2nd half

and George Mason is still winning.

I bet if anyone knew before the game that UConn would have single-digit turnovers, the odds against them losing would be astronomical.

Wow.

[bigwillq]

20. And that one turnover

may prove to be so costly.

[fishwax]

23. Get the ball in. Make free throws. Go to final four.

:bounce:

[fishwax]

24. Step One Complete

[fishwax]

25. aw shit

Overtime. :wow:

[Hissyspit]

35. It's never over, 'til it's over.

[bigwillq]

26. WOW.

Just wow.

[fishwax]

29. Amazing, isn't it?

Do you think they can do it in overtime?

It sure seems like they spent a lot of energy coming back and then holding that lead in the last eight minutes ...

[bigwillq]

36. I would give the edge to UConn

but so far GM is hanging tough

[maveric]

27. OMFG!!! OT!

[Ekirh]

28. HOLY FUCK

Uconn just can't be killed.

Edit: Excuse my verbage.

[Hissyspit]

31. I was saying "George Mason guys, you're celebrating too soon."

A lot can happen in 17 seconds.

[maveric]

32. GMU had the chance to ice the game and they blew it!

U Conn will win now.
SHIT!

[fishwax]

34. they needed that first free throw

Damn.

Here goes overtime ...

[RockaFowler]

33. WOW!!!!!

My brother is a UCONN alum and he is at the game. I know he is going wild right now!

JUST WOW this is a great game

[bigwillq]

37. What a shot!

GM by 4

[fishwax]

39. one minute left!

They blue a four-point lead with one minute left in regulation. I hope they can hang on this time. Hooray for upsets :D

[bigwillq]

38. GM keeps making

these incredible shots!

[fishwax]

41. I wonder what their shooting percentage has been in overtime

They've hit shot after shot. Have they scored on all but one possession?

[bigwillq]

42. 5 of 6

I think that's what they said

[Ekirh]

40. COME ON G.M.U

You've made me a believer... don't make my beliefs false!!!! :).

[fishwax]

43. hear hear!

I'm believing too!

[bigwillq]

44. Missed free throws!

:mad:

[fishwax]

46. three pointer for UConn

two point game.

[bigwillq]

45. Big shot by Williams!

[fishwax]

50. huge!

[gizmo1979]

47. I can't bear to watch I lost

2 teams yesterday UCONN is my pick to win if they lose my pool is done!

[xmas74]

62. I've got two so far.

I've lost UConn. If I lose Villanova it won't be so good.

The only consolation is that I don't think anyone had GM as F4. If 'Nova pulls it off I should still be good.

[Ekirh]

48. whew

still too much time on the clock "shudders".

[Hissyspit]

49. It ain't over, 'til it's over!

[fishwax]

54. and now it's over!

Damn, what an incredible game! What a fun game to watch!

[Hissyspit]

66. It was indeed. I always go for the underdog, but you gotta feel

a little sorry for UConn. They didn't even make the Final Four!

[Cush]

51. MASON!

[fishwax]

52. GEORGE MASON WINS!

:wow:

[mvd]

56. I'm happy

So many picked UConn to win, and overlooked my Nova.

[xmas74]

63. I've got them winning this game.

But my F2 was UConn/UCLA w/ UConn taking it.

[mvd]

72. Yikes - Nova having a bad 1st half again

They can't keep doing that. If they lose, I wonder when the last time was that there were no 1 seeds in the final four?

[xmas74]

74. I'll have to look that up!

I can only find this on a quick search but no year for it.

"Final Four-dom - All four number 1 seeds have never managed to advance to the Final Four in the same year. Three have made it on three occasions. Only once has a Final Four been devoid of a top seed, and that was in the era of the 48 team tournament."
http://www.fivelittles.net/ncaa/2003%20Commentary.htm

Now I'm curious. I'll keep looking around for the actual year.

[Ekirh]

53. MISSED THREE MISSED THREE MISSED THREE!!!!

GMU!!! GMU!!!!!!!

HOLY HELL "collaspes"

[Hissyspit]

57. It's over! The only remaining underdog takes out the BIG DOG(S)!

[Reverend_Smitty]

58. Wow...just wow!

[JohnKleeb]

59. Woohoo even if I had UConn winning htis is awesome

[fishwax]

64. I had UConn too, but I

had to pull for the upset. It's in my nature :) And damn what a great game.

[xmas74]

65. This is the first foul-up in my bracket.

[JohnKleeb]

67. I went with convential wisdom and listened to Tony Kornheiser

instead of Mike Wilbon who predicted many upsets.

[xmas74]

69. I didn't listen to anyone.

I studied up on the wins vs. losses on ESPN.

I'm doing good w/ LSU and UCLA; now I have to hope for 'Nova to keep my bracket looking good.

[JohnKleeb]

71. If I had a bias towards a team I would do the same

I can say proudly that I knew that the Steelers would beat the Colts in the AFC Divisional Round even though many "experts" said that Manning would crush.

[bigwillq]

70. I had UConn too!

Two of my Final 4s were already out, UConn makes three so I am happy that GM won because my pool was shot anyway! :bounce:

[JohnKleeb]

73. I think lal my final fours were knocked but UConn

I had UConn playing Pitt for the national championship, I had heard good things baout the Panthers from people so I gave them a chance. I think the final I ahd in the bracket I did in the newspaper was Villanova vs UConn, I Actually did great in last year's bracket but then I find out last year was the most predictable year ever, so my ego went down a few points after heraing that haha, I thought I was good.

[bigwillq]

75. I won my cousin's pool last year

It was so mush easier to pick them than it was this year.

Won't be winning the two pools I am in this year.

[JohnKleeb]

76. I even had the national championship right last year

I was like 2nd in the yahoo DU poll that LynneSin or whoever started, I forget how off I was about the score though. I think my final four though was kinda odd since I had three North Carolina teams in it: UNC, Wake Forest, and Duke, I dont know why I did that, I have no bias for or against Carolina teams and Ive only been there once.

[bigwillq]

77. I had last year's final right too

and three of the four final four teams. I didn't have Mich St.

[Faygo Kid]

60. Wow! There is a God!

I will quit being cynical; from now on, it's Shirley Temple reality for me! Until then, I will have my dinner.

[kentuck]

68. One of the best games ever...

ever...
