OT: Kansas getting killed by VCU
Down 18, we'll be having the mid-majors filing it out to play the blue bloods winner for the title.
Glad all the talking heads said VCU had no business being in the Tournament.
Kansas given a gift path, and they can choke that away too.

Up 18, they just have to not go

Completely cold. And Kansas would have to start hitting shots at a high rate, which they're doing the opposite of.

Go VCU!
Go VCU!
A VCU-Butler matchup in the Final Four would be ridiculous.
March 27th, 2011 at 3:12 PM |
A VCU-NC
A VCU-NC
Butler-U-Conn would be better, so they can meet in the title game.

Now THAT would be interesting!

I'd rather have VCU in the title game though since Butler already had their chance to make history.

Who knew?

But it does have the unfortunate "feel" of the Boise-TCU segregation game. (Though no one "made" this happen).

In the Tourney was 22 by Duke in 2001, vs. Maryland. So this would be top 5, at least. I won't hold my breath.

Let me take you back to 1993
Let me take you back to 1993
Second round of the NCAA tourney. Michigan, lead by the Fab Five, was down 19 to UCLA and came back to win in OT.
Everyone remembers the UNC game, but Michigan almost suffered a huge upset in the first weekend.
All right Lemmings. Bring the heat.
March 27th, 2011 at 4:21 PM |
Sir, I watched the Fab Five
Sir, I watched the Fab Five
I know the Fab Five. The Fab Five were friends of mine. Kansas, sir, is no Fab Five.

Kansas won a conference championship.
But I wasn't trying to compare 2011 Kansas to 1993 Michigan. It seemed to be a fitting response to your comment.
All right Lemmings. Bring the heat.
March 27th, 2011 at 4:44 PM |
And Kansas

Won't sniff the Final Four.

Crazy game. Kansas had 8
Crazy game. Kansas had 8
Crazy game. Kansas had 8 turnovers 10 minutes into the first half. Foul trouble all over the place as well. There was one possession on VCU's end where Kansas missed a shot and then missed two free throws--twice!--before VCU finally got possession back. Kansas looks sloppy, and I bet they underestimated VCU's strength.
Prediction: VCU wins a close one by 10 or less.

why college basketball postseason is better than football. Because ALL teams at least have a path to the title.

But the counterargument is
But the counterargument is
But the counterargument is that March Madness seriously waters down the regular season, which is undeniable. I support a limited playoff in football. If you make it a huge free-for-all (like 16+ teams), you lessen the importance of the regular season.
If I were in charge of things, I'd get rid of the conference title games and go straight from the regular season to an eight-team playoff. Have a selection committee figure out whom the best eight teams are.

Til you're the team that had the great year, and you get upset on one bad day by a team that goes on and loses their next game. In '97, if Michigan had to play 6 more games after OSU, not sure how thrilling it would have been.

VCU is going to have to play lights out in the second half. Kansas looks good and the refs look...well, like college basketball refs. Ha on that "not a shooting foul" BS.

When did announcers start calling inside players "bigs"? Can't go a minute in this game without hearing it.

But you can let it get THAT bad and hope to come back. There's a chance, but when the hole's that deep, it's a long climb.

No one in today's college
No one in today's college
No one in today's college basketball can resist the 3-point line's sweet siren song.
I saw recently that in the '93 semifinal against Kentucky, we shot 0-4 from 3. It's amazing to think in a game that went to overtime, we only attempted four from downtown (and missed them all!) and won.

We were a piss-poor shooting team.

That's not true. In fact,
That's not true. In fact,
That's not true. In fact, almost all of the Fab Five had a pretty good shooting touch. Juwan, for instance, was money from the foul line extended. They just didn't shoot that many threes. They mostly left that to Pelinka and Voskuil. Back then the three was still something of an exotic novelty.
