Dear Lord…what a collosal beatdown in the first half of that game. Memphis was totally and completely on fire for that entire half…everything they threw in the air went in…I felt like I was watching the Alex English Denver Nuggets of the 80’s where they always shot within ten seconds of the shot clock and scored massive amounts of points.

Even worse, the Spartans went on like a 19-4 run in the second half and it didn’t even matter!!

Of course, the worst was that the Kansas game was just as bad so it’s not like I could start watching that game. In fact, basically all the games last night ended up as total duds but it was fun as hell watching that piece of crap Bo Ryan get totally owned by Stephen Curry. That dude’s a frickin machine…he can’t be stopped!!! He can’t miss!!! He’s a monster!!! At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if he threw down 50 points on Kansas to get to the Final Four. I really wouldn’t. If he could own the Wisconsin and Georgetown defenses like that, then who knows what he can do.

Plus he spells his name the same as mine…us Stephens have to stick together.

Yeah, but he’s an un, you’re an een.

#52

Look for me and the Alabama Jama in the bleachers at Ford Field tomorrow!

#53

Will you be holding the “Fluffhead” sign?

#54

No, i’ll be holding the Davison sign only to be singled ouy by a Davidson fan telling me that i spelled Davidson wrong. At which time i will kick him in the balls and yell “GO DAVISON”!

#55

Even better!!

UCLA looked awfully tough tonight.

#56

Damn checked the standings today and I’m in last place. Pathetic. I can’t believe that all 4 #1 seeds made the final four. Actually I can’t believe this has never happened before. Is that statistic right? It’s just hard to belive. There has been alot of tournaments.

Actually I think it is, but they are going by when the tournamnet was expanded to 64.

#57

Au contraire, mon frere…you are in 10th, I am in 11th by a considerable margin.

Ugh.

You have 8 more points than me and 6 more correct picks!

#58

Hurray! I’m not in last anymore. Of course I had Stanford losing in the Finals so we’ll see how long that lasts.

Seriously, Texas had the exact same issues that MSU did against Memphis. Texas don’t win without their guards and they had loads of trouble against Memphis’ huge guards. Oh well.

Awww poor Davidson…I was pulling for them and they almost did it. Even better, Gus Johnson finally got to let loose at the end and we had some classic Gus screams during some of those final three attempts. Good times.

Sadly, I’ll probably miss a majority of the Final Four games on Saturday since I have to be at a wedding. Ug. I guess that’s one good thing about the Spartans not making it since I would have had to disappear from the wedding for three hours which wouldn’t have gone over well.

I will be victorious!

Here’s how the bracket would have panned out had wins been based on the median income of each school’s graduates:

::starting to think he should have went to Stanford::

#62

when was the last time all number 1 seeds where in the final four?

#63

^Never

#64

Interesting bracket if the tournament were actually set up by geographic regions:

We’d probably have the same results we have now in the Final Four, but you never know.

#65

So according to the little scenario generator thing, I won the bracket. All kneel before me!

That was fun though, I’m glad someone invited me to their bracket this year.

#66

Congrats.

Should be a fantastic game. Memphis is favored by 1.5 points.

I see overtime!!

#67

There has only been one good game since the Sweet 16 and it was Davidson against Kansas. This tournament has been quite the disappointment. Hopefully tonight’s game is at least close…overtime would def make up for a shitty final four.

#68

Agreed.

You’d think by getting all four #1 seeds into the Final Four that the two games would be fairly competitive…nope. It was the most rich, tradition-laden Final Four in history and we would up with a stinker.

#69

At the beginning of this tourny I listened to a report about these guys that used mathematical equations to figure out who will win.

They said Kansas.
