OT: 'Cuse has fallen
Our second favorite team in the tournament (Dayton) has just toppled the Syracuse Orange. Wisconsin also on upset alert. Are we on pace for a rematch of a rematch of a rematch with Michigan State?
I had OSU in the Elite Eight but my bracket will be fully recovered versus the others in my pool if Dayton can do that one more time.
Yea, my bad. I am relatively new to the board and the OT/Non OT rules are still relatively confusing.
5/30/2012 is considered relatively new??? man I didn't know i could still play the "I'm new around these parts" card...

Had the account for a while but didn't start actively using it until last fall.

They've had several good NCAA tournament runs over the years.

Lot of History at UD for your dad to be proud of. Chuck Knoll, John Gruden, Ann Meyers, etc. Team lost to UCLA in the tourney in triple overtime in '74 when UCLA had a streak of championships, etc. Recently rated the 20th most valuable basketball team in the NCAA. Go Flyers!

Harvard is probably my second right now, obviuosly Dayton did me a solid (had them in Sweet 16) but i also picked Harvard getting there just because i can't stand writing MSU more than once
THE University of Dayton! Go Flyers!
I actually stayed with this game most of the way, and for a long time, it was pretty brutal. Indeed, the eFG% for both teams at the end:
Dayton - 48.91%, much of which came in the second half.
Syracuse - 38.9%. That includes being 0-10 from three-point land, of course.
Offensive rebounding was 30%-ish for both teams actually. If Dayton had taken advantage of the nearly 40% free throw rate and not gone 10-18 from the stripe, it probably would not have come down to a desperation three for Syracuse (which missed, of course).
Nonetheless, Dayton goes to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1984, I believe, and if Syracuse can find its way out of its own zone, they will vacate the locker room.

The funny thing is that Mr Perfect Bracket will probably not even win his own local pool.

Tit for tat?
You guys are really milking this rack comment.

He obviously knows how to beat a 2-3 zone.

Just got in an argument with James Blackmon on Xbox about Tom Crean being a douche. He then said that Coach B is a terrible coach and I got very upset. He was saying they're going to beat our ass next year and win the National Championship. It's safe to say I'm not a fan of James Blackmon.

if someone says Beilen is a bad coach? That's so clearly incorrect, it discredits anything else the person says. Indiana's one fo the blueblood programs; the fact they aren't in the tournament speaks volumes about Crean.

When was the last time IU was good? When I started watching college basketball they were on the same level as Michigan pretty much.
March 22nd, 2014 at 10:44 PM ^
How's the CBI Slapstick? Oh yeah, that's right, your program is too storied to stoop to that level.
March 22nd, 2014 at 11:10 PM ^
Makes John Beilein bleed his own blood. No one.

Thank God. I hate watching that zone.

No excuses.
Wait, Staee caught a break with an injury to another team? But the injury gods would never help them out, so it obviously didn't happen

I grew up watching the Dayton Flyers. I couldn't be happier to have Dayton and Michigan in the Sweet 16!

Never saw a team get so excited to take the lead over Harvard.
March 22nd, 2014 at 10:45 PM ^
I wish TNT would let the Harvard anncr do the broadcast. Would be nerdaliciously awesome.
