The not-yet-created, and never really imitated...NCAA Basketball 2011/March Madness thread.

UW-Milwaukee playing Butler in the Horizon league final tonight, repping my alma mater over here.

Go Panthers, etc.

[Arvin]

Not bitter or anything, but I hope UW-Milwaukee rapes them

[archibaldcrane]

Why are you anti-Butler? They didn't play MSU this year, dunno the story otherwise. UWM has already beaten them twice this season though...hope to make it 3 and sneak into the tourney.

[Arvin]

Final four last year? The no-call on the would-have-been buzzer beater that gave them the win to go play dook

[Ryany]

That was a dramatic ending for Arkansas Little-Rock and North Texas with 2 3s in the last 16 seconds to win by 1 for Ark. LR. (not that I was really paying attention until then)

...also I bet Villanova would be a bubble team if not for being ranked so high early on.

[archibaldcrane]

Milwaukee can't buy a fucking bucket right now, getting rolled early.

[Ryany]

I was about to ask why Oregon hasn't gotten UWM's shoes yet. But upon an internet search, it looks like they do indeed have bright yellow shoes in their rotation for basketball.

fucccckkkk i almost watched the USF - Nova game but went to gym instead, missed an exciting win. we don't get many of those lol, wish we were more consistent, clearly CAN hang with good teams.

watching Seton Hall tie it up with that 3 w/no time left got me fucking pumped for the tourney, cant wait!

I don't even get angry thinking about this, but the potential for this makes me lol really hard irl: Oakland is going to the tournament, and we are probably not if we lose against Iowa first round of the B10 tourney.

I am going to try out for Rutgers basketball, as I am pretty sure I can shoot 7%.

[Mertron]

sure I'm 30, 5'9 and white, but I can contribute.

Hopefully the major blunder the officiating crew had at the end of the Rutgers/St. Johns game (ESPN was giving them hell for it) will get them suspended. That same crew has had me yelling at the TV multiple times earlier this year due to officiating.

I just saw that. It looks to me like they blew at least one of the foul calls, and probably both, but those are at least subjective calls that can't be reviewed. There's zero excuse for the game ending as it did, though. I also hope Lavin gives that St. John's player who intercepted the pass a good tongue lashing, even though he got away with it.

Guess he left his assassin costume at home last Sunday.

If you're looking for the definition of the word "aberration," check out Wisconsin's final regular-season game. Not only did Ohio State hit 14 of 15 3-point attempts Sunday at Value City Arena—an NCAA single-game record—the Buckeyes finished with 93 points.

When you're playing against a team that does that, you're going to lose every time.

Kimba Walker is ice cold and broke some knee's in the progress, what a great game.

[Headspace]

So Notre Dame is pretty good.

UL is going to get crushed tonight as well

[Arvin]

Doesn't seem that way Tyche.

[Tyche]

The game at YUM earlier was much better. I thought Marquette matched up well, they're built like UL. Incredibly small and fast. Of course, it helps having a duo of white boys balling out (OK, well, Kuric is having an off night).
