This UMd-Dook game is giving me mixed emotions. I can't decide who I want to lose this game more. I think the best solution would be the Dean Dome and Cameron Indoor burning to the ground.

I've yet to be in the Smith Center, but I was in Cameron often back in the day . . . said day being four decades past. From what I recall of that old barn, it had ALREADY burned down.

Good luck against Miami in . . . well, it's tipping off right about now, and maybe we will "see" you tomorrow, if my Heels can do to the Terps what they did to Dook.

State making a run at it, and have it down to minus-6 with 12 minutes to play.


Oh, and Hoosiers down 3 to the Badgers at the break . . . which doesn't mean much, yet.

Miami beats NCSU by 10, and Wisconsin still up 3 over IU with 6 to play . . . which STILL doesn't mean all that much.

Default Re: Official College Hoops 2012-2013!!!!!!

Well, the Badgers did it, beating Indiana 68-56. Said margin was somewhat inflated due to late freethrows after Hoosiers were forced to foul, but they hit 'em, and they counted. Losses for IU and Duke likely will NOT cost them #1-seeds tomorrow, but I do imagine there are a lot of happy Zagnuts on the Left Coast today.

I wonder if they will be happy tomorrow evening also. I am PRETTY sure they won't be happy much longer, regardless.

Tough draw, Jerry, but I can't risk much sympathy for your 'Pack, considering how my Heels got screwed into an 8-seed against 'Nova, with Kansas (hopefully?) next.

Regardless, they may get one. Kansas should have little problem in their first game, so if the Heels get past Villanova they'll pit Ol' Roy against his former team. Though I understand the animosity in Lawrence has cooled a lot (which I never understood, as who could blame Roy for going home to Chapel Hill), it will still give the pundits tons to talk about.

Me, I don't like the prospect of facing the Jayhawks that first weekend. On the other hand, a wise Jayhawk probably is not looking forward to facing the Heels that early either, considering how they've improved in the last month.

OK, so here's a story I found interesting:

My conclusion? If you want to please the greatest number of fans, pull for Carolina to win it all.

Actually, I'd call that a good draw. You get a Nova team that can't beat anybody on the road, followed by an super overrated Kansas team. I'd much rather be in that spot than ours, stuck against a hot Temple team coming outta the A-10, who is honestly the fourth best conference this year in my book, and then an Indiana team who's pissed after losing to Wisconsin for a SECOND time this year

To me, the "diss" is not so much about the matchups, since you still gotta play who you gotta play and beat who you gotta beat. My problem is Carolina's better RPI and SoS rating than numerous at-large teams seeded ahead of them. I felt a 5-seed was possible, considering how much better they had played, and that a 6-seed was fair.

But hell, it's only bragging rights anyway, right? Anybody who know their college hoops knows that.

And yeah, your 'Pack's gonna hafta play like they were supposed to play all year to survive for long this March. Good luck to you.

Wow, I missed this news last night. In the first round of the NIT, mighty Robert Morris knocked off Kentucky, sending the Wildcats back to Lexington as what they've been all year . . . road non-warriors who never jelled.

And speaking of never, where did Robert (never enough) go? No offense, brother, but you started this thread, and my assumption is you were moved to do so because UK won last year and was expected to do well this one also. Now, I've no reason to brag on my Heels either, who were in EXACTLY UK's situation following their championship in 2009, but I didn't climb under my blanket and hide either.

Hey, if you show up for the coronation, you should also be there for the funeral.

Default Re: Official College Hoops 2012-2013!!!!!!

I ain't Robert, but I'm a UK homer who is SEVERELY disappointed in a team that never really found their focus and could/would not find a way to work together. The NIT loss to Robert Morris was just the capper. I know it's not quite fair that they could not play on home floor, but if you are really the better team, you ought to be able to give a better game than that. It took a hard foul just to get them interested for 2 minutes. Lots of homers around here are just mad that the Cats didn't rate an at-large bid, with the reasoning that the defending champs should have a shot at defending that championship. 2 things there; this is NOT the tourney for LAST year, it's the tourney for the 2012-2013 season, and they didn't play like a defending champ this season. 2-would they say the same thing if Duke were inserted into this situation? Doubt it.

We LOVED it the last couple of seasons when Johny C poured the one-and-done Koolaid, and we looked good and then great. One-and-done for your starting roster is ALWAYS going to be a gamble, and this year, Johny C and we the UK Faithful lost that gamble. With what we have coming next season, looks like lightning will strike again for us, but there's always the chance the chemistry is not there and the kids will not want to work for it.

Anyway, some great games so far. Your Heels are looking pretty good, and so was UofL. Wish I could have seen the VCU win today. Hahhhvahd?!?!? Lehigh?!?!?!? March Madness!!!

I have no damn idea what the hell is going on anymore in this tournament. My bracket is completely and utterly shot after the first damn round. I've been calling uncle since that Harvard game last night, apparently the madness just doesn't care.

Joe, you gave your usual honest assessment of UK, and I appreciate it. As I said earlier, the 'Cats were in exactly the same boat as my Heel after their 2009 championship, who also made the finals in 2010 . . . of the NIT, that is.

Actually, I am not surprised that UK's one-and-done policy bit them in the butts, though I was somewhat pleasantly surprised they accepted an invite to the NIT . . . perhaps now to their regret.

And yeah, Bear and Mac, I suspect NOBODY has a perfect bracket left this morning. Considering what this year's been like, that's not a shock to me.

Oh, and my Heels looked GREAT last night against Villanova . . . for the first 10 minutes anyway.
