Be on the lookout for the Belgian Express! He\'s not scurred of Thabeet. He\'s like iron.
belgian huh? i could have sworn he was a frenchman the way he was flopping around last night.
**** syracuse
Free Throw %
Syracuse: .784
UConn: .571
Jim Calhoun teams never shoot free throws well. It boggles my mind that a basketball player that talented can be so lacking in one of the games fundamentals. I would guess these blue chip recruits also got fouled excessively in high school, so one would think they\'d get better.
That\'s a win that will keep on giving for many years to come.
The Devendorf shot was late by less than 0.1 seconds...but it didn\'t matter in the end.
The Huskies have now suffered four consecutive first-day exits from the Big East tournament, three at the hands of Syracuse. No one on the current roster has ever won a conference tourney game here.
Soy!

^ Interesting fact. Cuse owns Uconn.
hahaha
Hoping SDSU does not make the cut. If they don\'t then they will host some NIT which creates more work for the Arena Conversion crew I am on.
Kinda dick but
**** those kids they don\'t need the money like we do.

hahaha. fair enough, brah.
Aztecs are good enough to make it, might be a little problem. Need BYU to bring its A game.
Wow, last night was INSANE!
Syracuse picked a good game to get hot on the foul line. That is usually what kills them. My dog could shoot a higher % than Arinze. But I still love him.
It will be something if Cuse has anything left in the tank for tonight. 2 games within 18 hours.
Although watch out for Jonny Flynn. I am convinced he could play for a couple of days straight if he had to. Last year averaged 39 minutes a game!
Day 2 of the NCAA tournament...
Nice to see a convincing win out of UCONN. 50 pt winning margin against TN-Chat. Obviously not a big deal beating a 16 seed, but after last year\'s pathetic first round performance it\'s nice to see a quick start.
No major upsets yesterday, but I believe that was the case last year too. Friday proved to be a much more "upsetting" day last year...and hopefully we\'ll see some classic buzzer beaters, overtimes, and Cinderellas advancing today.
Big game for Syracuse...shouldn\'t be a problem w/ SF Austin, but \'Cuse has been known to struggle in the early rounds before. I don\'t think it will be the case this year considering they have one of the best point guards in the country.
I\'m excited to leave work a little early today and catch some of the games before heading down to the city.

Yeah, Syracuse usually comes out slow in the tournament. I\'m not too worried about it happening today though. Lots of people are saying they\'ll be dead from the Big East run. That ended 6 days ago, give me a break. They\'ve only used 7 players for a majority of the playing time this season so they\'re one of the best conditioned teams around.
My final 4:
Louisville over West Virginia
Memphis over Washington
Villanvova over Pittsburgh
UNC over Syracuse (hurt to write that one in)
Villanova over Louisville in the finals.
Sounds like the Belgian Express might be out for today. Achilles, hurt back and he\'s sick. KAAAAHN!

A lot of Big East love there. Can\'t tell you how many times I\'ve filled out brackets that reflect my love for this conference...unfotunately it usually ends up screwing me in the end.
i think one of my brackets had 6 big east teams in the great 8

you taught your dog to shoot free throws? to earn your love?
I\'ve got a stupid question... Why are half of the Sweet 16 games being played on Thursday night? Wouldn\'t it be better to have a Friday/Saturday or even a Saturday/Sunday? Doesn\'t make much sense to me. I would think that more people would watch on the weekend. That being said, I\'ve picked 75% of the winners through the first two rounds and that\'s with Wake Forrest
**** up that entire half of the region\'s bracket...
