B1G/NCAA basketball

LSU vs Alabama was a pretty awful title game a couple of years ago. I think it will be hard to be worse than that.

Fuck watching the SEC

[Dr. Strangelove]

Well, at the very least it won't be an all-SEC final.

UCOnn's program is probably dirtier than most of the SEC though, fwiw

Wow! Can't believe UConn beat Florida so decisively. Makes MSU's loss more understandable. Wisconsin - Kentucky should be a great game. Not sure who will win, but I guess I'll root for the Badgers because Kentucky...

Gotta love how those UConn guards pressure the ball. I loved seeing them bully MSU into babbling incoherence.

Are they still dirty? Calhoun has that rep, and the probation to go with it. Still the same under Ollie?

[hack]

Go Badgers! Fuck Kentucky. I thought this was amazing:

And he certainly plays by the rules without exception at one of the dirtiest programs in the history of college sports. Kentucky basketball is the equivalent of Ohio State football: both programs fell into a rut that they were no longer willing to stay in, and they placed their programs into the hands of used car salesmen who both have a history of turning a blind eye to the cheating that happens under their watch.


That, however, I disagree with. OSU wishes it could be the Kentucky of college football. USC, IMO, is the better analogy. Same craven behavior though. Anyhow, regardless of that nit I wish that guy would blog more often. He's just excellent.

[Detroit Dan]

Wisconsin outplaying Kentucky so far. Looks to me like Badgers will be national champs....

The bitching on Anthony's behalf about that flagrant foul was preposterous. Are Kentucky's boosters paying Anthony too? Jesus.

Ha! I agree.

I guess he thinks it is OK to punch a guy in the mouth after the play.

It should have been an offensive foul in the first place. They are allowing KY to muscle through the defenders rather than calling the offensive foul.

Advantage Kentucky.

It was remarkable to see him change his argument to ``well you don't want to let kaminsky get away with the acting'' after the other guy pointed out how ridiculous the argument was. Seriously!

[Kstat]

Most depressing tournament ever.

Same fucking spot. Either this kid is Ray Allen part 2 or someone up there hates basketball.

[Dr. Strangelove]

I fucking hate Kentucky and their piece of shit coach but have to admit, they have come up clutch three games in a row. Between the Louisville, Michigan, and Wisconsin games I think they held a lead for about 8:00 total.

One of the most boring Finals ever. Two teams that have been there a bunch of times the past decade. Don't think I'll even watch

You know you're a lowlife when Buckeyes look down on you.

[hack]

But, credit to Calipari -- he's obviously budgeted wisely, and he's no dummy on the court. I mean, pack the paint, get some reasonably tall guys and box out on every play and you destroy them. Nobody manages it. Calipari knows this.

UConn is an absolute joy. I don't know how clean Ollie is, although Calhoun certainly wasn't. But I love Napier and Boatwright on the pressure D. I love it when they extend out to halfcourt. Great guard-oriented tourney team with the one athletic big capitalizing on his chances. I don't think they have a chance against Kentucky, though we'll see.
