Ohio St is moving up the rankings! We shall see how they do in conference play!!!

Is it wrong of me to be so happy Louisville lost to another unranked team? Fucking pathetic. Makes we wish Shasta was back just so I can make fun of him for being a Cardinal fan.

arggh, Edgar fucking Sosa. The Cats fought so hard to tie it up only to lose with a three with 3.4 left. Shit, shit, shit!!

No kidding, what an incredible shot, great game

Jodie Meeks just had the game of a lifetime and UK will probably be ranked now, yet know one says anything on here. Is there anybody still watching NCAA basketball?

im watching....my gators barely win and having an overall mediocre season...but the record is what counts, and we're 2-0 in SEC play, baby!!

i saw that game, he was unconscious. he was losing people left and right and knocking down his shots, it was a great performance. Not to mention he also had 8 boards.

HOLY SHIT if u can watch that 6 OT cuse/uconn game and not be amazed, u are not a true sports fan.

I turned it on at the end of the 4th, and was hooked for over an hr.

Insanity. Pure Insanity.

Hats off to all the people involved, even cuse's walk on who grabbed his first reb of the season. Amazing game

dude, i watched that game from start to finish! it was amazing! easily one of the best all time games i ever seen. props to syracuse, johnny flynn is the man

Well UK is done for the year. Maybe NIT bound for them.

Let the games begin. Off to the bar to get drunk and watch the tourney.
Go UConn.

Go Sacramento Kings!!!!!!!!!!! Oh wait I don't give a fuck about basketball......wow thought I might waste my day seeing the next group of pre Madonna's getting ready to play in the NBA.

fire it up...best two weeks of the year

Memphis
 

Does anyone else think Memphis is overrated? If it weren't for Sallie stepping up they would have been toast!

who you guys got in the final four?

i made two brackets, uconn wins both times

I got memphis, louisville, pitt and UNC with UNC winning

+1 for me

Zags > UNC

I got Michigan State, Memphis, Pitt, & UNC in one bracket...with UNC taking home the trophy


My 2nd bracket I have Kansas, Pitt, UNC, & Louisville...with Pitt winning.

Damn I wish Western Ky would have pulled that game out..

they forgot to play defense for that last 8 seconds...

Yeah a team hyphenated KY let their opponents slip through and penetrate. Who could have seen that coming?

Im already fucked in my bracket and my girl is gonna beat me for the third year in a row. Damn you West Virginia and WF!!!!:mad:

yo i hate it when girls pick brackets(no offense to the women) cuz they just always pick the top seeds...and last year that was exactly what happened, and i looked like a chump

Coach Cal to Kentucky, fucking amazing, in one move UK made themselves a contender again

they will be legit in 2 seasons. Cal will bring some top recruits and turn that program around...great hire!

Yes this is a great hire for UK. I'm a big Pitino fan and think this rivalry will be great .

Fuck Izzo. Home town Bull shit.

he still had to make it to the final four to play at home... having the finals here didn't help U of M at all. I'm surprised they even won a game.

Memphis to vacate Final Four season
 

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)?Memphis will be forced to vacate the record 38 victories from its Final Four season of 2007-08 under former coach John Calipari because of NCAA violations, The Commercial Appeal reported.

The newspaper, citing an unidentified source close to the situation, said on its Web site Wednesday night the NCAA will release findings of its investigation Thursday. The Commercial Appeal said it was unaware of any penalties beyond this season.

The NCAA investigated whether someone took the SAT exam for a player on that Final Four team. Memphis was notified of potential violations in January and met with the governing body in June.

The NCAA has said an unknown person took the college entrance exam for a player?with his knowledge?and that the player used it to get admitted. The governing body says the athlete played for the Tigers only in the 2007-08 season and the 2008 NCAA tournament. Just one person fits that description: Derrick Rose, the Chicago Bulls? No. 1 overall draft pick in 2008 and its rookie of the year.

?I know I didn?t do anything wrong,? Rose said two weeks ago.

The NCAA planned a conference call for Thursday afternoon, and Memphis president Shirley Raines told The Associated Press the school would follow with a news conference.

Memphis coach Josh Pastner declined to comment early Thursday, deferring to university officials.

Memphis finished 38-2 in 2007-08, setting the NCAA record for wins in a season. The Tigers lost 75-68 to Kansas in overtime in the national championship game.

It would be the second time both Memphis and Calipari had to vacate Final Four seasons. The Tigers were stripped of their 1985 appearance and Calipari?s Massachusetts team lost its 1996 berth.

Memphis athletic director R.C. Johnson, coach Josh Pastner and a team spokesman couldn?t be reached for comment Wednesday night.

Calipari, appearing at the Kentucky State Fair on Thursday, would not elaborate because the report had not been officially released.

?We don?t know anything because I?m not going to comment because I have to wait on the finding,? Calipari said. ?I would be disappointed if that?s what they chose to do.?

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, appearing with Calipari on Thursday, said he?s not concerned about the troubles at Memphis following Calipari to the Wildcats.

?I?m not worried about it because they have never said Coach Cal did anything wrong at all,? Beshear said. ?I think he?s a very upstanding guy. I think that?s his reputation and I think that reputation will be with him here. I really don?t foresee any problems.?

Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart, who hired Calipari from Memphis this year, declined to comment.

Barnhart told the AP last week that he?s not concerned about the potential violations that became known only after Calipari was hired. The coach has not been deemed ?at risk? by the NCAA, and Barnhart stressed Calipari is eager to help the Wildcats win the right way.

?There?s one thing John says, ?I want my banners to count for something and I want to put the rings on the fingers and let them stay there,?? Barnhart said. ?That?s important to him and so he is embracing any help that we give him to make sure we?re able to, at the end of the day, not have to look over our shoulders and worry.?

I was reading about that this morning, good for everyone else that lost to them

Tennessee beats Kansas.. Hell Tennessee is missing several of their players.. Great game.

We should do some kind of march madness pool/tourney. I know it's a little early but we could be thinking about logistics. We could wager credits or something. Could be fun.

Don't bet on Syracuse!

Florida in???? Miss st should have been in before them..

How about Ohio.....

Some great games so far today!!!! And it is only day #1!!!!!!

Kansas -----> done.

St. Mary's!!!!!

My bracket is fucked!
