Varies depending on where you look, but every free site I have seen has Kentucky above Maryland.

Everyone knew going in this year that it would be a down year for college hoops, similar to two years ago which produced one of the worst Final Fours in the recorded history of college athletics in terms of team quality, talent, and quality of games.

The first 10 minutes of that game was awesome.You would expect more turnovers from IU with the tempo they play but there were too many the other night. I know i said earlier I thought IU was over rated at #1 but it seems this year it is #1 by committee. Now to christen Bob Knight Court at Assembly Hall!
Go Hoosiers!
When they put it together they will be formidable, if they all stay. thepostman wrote:Yeah, I am pretty sure mine may be worse then normal. Actually it may be better this year knowing my luck, hahaI may just give the guy who runs my bracket pools and not fill one out. Probably have the same result!
NotAJerry wrote:If anyone is paying attention, ND vs Louisville is 100-98 with 2 minutes left in OT5. ND has a kid who has put up 14 points and 6 boards and he didn't play a single minute in regulation.And Russdiculous had five chances to win or tie the game near or at the end of each OT session and missed every one of them, along with numerous other back breaking mistakes earlier in the OT sessions. I bet Mike Brey was thrilled to see that idiot with the ball in his hands on UL's last possession in 5OT. The one where he dribbled the ball 10 feet out from the three point line then just jacked up a three at the buzzer was beyond baffling. Can't believe Pitino never bothered to call a timeout for their last possession until the 5th OT after the awful game Russ Smith had been having, what a colossal failure of coaching. I know having Chane Behanan get the ball on all of those possessions would have been impractical since they were down three sometimes, but the fact he doesn't even touch the ball on the times they were down 2 on the last possession is a joke. That guy had been using and abusing Notre Dame all night long more than an alcoholic uses and abuses shots of tequila at a bar having a going out of business sale. Sure, ND could have fouled the poor FT shooter in Behanan, but they didn't exactly have the quality bodies to be intentionally fouling a guy with some of these weak fouls the refs were calling.
