*** 2014 NCAA Tournament Thread

[fustercluck]

The better team won, so that makes me happy. Plus Coach Cal is obnoxious as hell so I'm glad he lost...and I don't know why UK didn't start fouling much earlier than they did. The refs gave UK like 26 free throws and 10 for Uconn. So they definitely gave UK a chance, but they shot like 50% at the line, not gonna cut it. So it looks like Uconn will have both the Men's and Women's basketball champions yet again

Unbelievable run by uconn, congrats.

Napier and Boatright had outstanding post-seasons.

 

[Fingolfin269]

54% vs. 100% from the line. Crazy.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Woo! and may I also add Hoo! ?

WooHoo!! What a run, what a killer D.

To contrast, Kevin Ollie's a stud, from wiki...

NBA player Kevin Durant in an interview with Grantland said that Kevin Ollie (who played for Oklahoma City Thunder in 2009-2010) "taught him the ropes", and "changed the culture of Oklahoma City". He also said, “Kevin Ollie, he was a game changer for us. I think he changed the whole culture in Oklahoma City. Just his mind set, professionalism, every single day. And we all watched that, and we all wanted to be like that. It rubbed off on Russell Westbrook, myself, Jeff Green, James Harden. And then everybody who comes through now, it’s the standard that you’ve got to live up to as a Thunder player. And it all started with Kevin Ollie.”

[Drako]

Wow, poor Wisconsin.
They would have kicked Connies ass.

 

[zinfamous]

there's an "official" fucking ladder of the NCAA championships? lol

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Uhhh, no. The only poster that counts is the one that says "Uconn 2014 National Champs". Nobody gives a fuck about who dunks over whom.

I hope those scissors are official.

Is Calipari is off to LA to coach the Lakers?

Is Calipari that obnoxious? I remember when old ass John Cheney wanted to fight him, that shit was hilarious.

Besides the bricklaying FTs, Cal really gets little out of the unbelievable level of talent he has to work with.* They just go out and run isolation all game, 54 points from that squad is pathetic. It's not like UConn played a beautiful game, they did just enough to beat 5 kids with little direction from the coaching staff.

* I know they're super young but UK was the only team that reminded me of the early 90s elite college teams. Everybody else looks more like Wichita St or UConn with few, if any, NBA prospects.

Look at my icon.

get a grip man this was right when the dunk happened before the game was decided.. :whiste:

Yeah. And now that the game is decided the Kentucky fans are crying in their beers, not putting up posters.

I joked to my friend who's a die-hard Lakers fan that UK's starters have about as much athletic talent as the current Lakers and he was not amused.

Seriously, my BIL is a UK grad, and he swore to me if Calipari did not win tonight, he was going to the NBA (Lakers). But he reads the UK blogs and boards, so he's ...

LOL, I fucking hate Cuntucky.

 

[Drako]

Congrats to UConn on and unbelievable run and win.

And it is clear that dogs can be cats ... barely.

 

[Captante]

Wow, poor Wisconsin.
They would have kicked Connies ass.

Could have .... should have .... would have .... DIDN'T.

Wow, poor Wisconsin.

Woulda made myself a pretty penny. Put money down on them after their horrible January.

 

[Imported]

And UConn cost me second place in a client's bracket! There goes my $200 bottle of scotch prize.

 

[Drako]

Could have .... should have .... would have .... DIDN'T.

I hate Wisconsin, but, did you watch that game ?

Let me guess, you're and SEC fan?
