Agreed...that's the kind of game that should have taken place in Arlington, not in the second (third) round

im pulling for Coach Randy Dunton and the team he has helped rise from the ashes after unreasonably being let go from Liberty..oh wait

Jeff Meyer ( which is actually ironic on many levels)

Ha. I will be pulling for Meyer's squad as well. Once Kentucky takes care of business Friday night, I don't want anything to do with another matchup with Tennessee.

GREAT article about UVa's 2 coaches--and McKay explains about why he left LU:

[SuperJon]

I thought that was a great article on Ritchie. It truly was the perfect storm for him to leave.

[thepostman]

I still hate that he left, but would love to have him back.

[lynchburgwildcats]

Bye bye Slick Rick and little brother!

[flamehunter]

That was the only time in my life I have pulled for Louisville. I hate Kentucky.

[lynchburgwildcats]

YOu didn't pull for Louisville two seasons ago when they met in the Final Four?

[RubberMallet]

well it was certainly more of a season that i was expecting. here's hoping GRIII, McGary, and Stauskus all come back. I believe GRIII and stauskus will enter the draft though. nik is projected a fringe lottery pick. I'm not sure he'll improve upon that with another year.

[JK37]

I know Stauskus has been doing it all year, but his shot selection yesterday really made me cringe. That game was a case of talent vs. execution. Michigan couldn't let it become about pure athleticism and skill - because Kentucky had MUCH more of it than Michigan. They couldn't control tempo and flow enough to make the game more about their execution and less about Kentucky freakish level of talent.

Did anyone catch the media room moderator after the L'ville game call John Calipari, "Rick". As in, after he was done and leaving, "Thank you, Rick." I think he may have actually peed himself once Calipari caught it.

[JK37]

Also, did anyone else hear...that 3 at end for Kentucky ended up being worth about $330k in bonuses for UK coaches and AD.

The AD getting a bonus for what any one team or individual accomplishes is ridiculous. Just as it was when the Ohio State AD got a bonus for a wrestler winning a national championship.

[JakeP50]

Well this is exactly the opposite of what I wanted to happen tonight. Two of the five teams that are on a whole other level of hate from me playing for a National Championship. Just great

[ALUmnus]

What could you possibly hate about UConn? There's nothing to hate there.

[JakeP50]

The Husky hate mostly comes from Calhoun's slimy recruiting tactics and respect bordering on fandom for Jay Wright and the Villanova Wildcats.

I don't think anyone (including yourself) has any clue what you are talking about.

Secondly, you are aware that Calhoun isn't there anymore, correct?

[JakeP50]

I know Calhoun isn't there anymore I'm not oblivious. The slimy recruiting tactics was how he got Baltimore native and lifelong Terps fan Rudy Gay to sign with him by scheduling multiple exhibition games against his AAU team, which wasn't technically illegal at the time but is now because of him.

Then why bring it up?

The slimy recruiting tactics was how he got Baltimore native and lifelong Terps fan Rudy Gay to sign with him by scheduling multiple exhibition games against his AAU team, which wasn't technically illegal at the time but is now because of him.

So, you're upset at him because 10 years ago he used a legal recruiting tactic?

[Yacht Rock]

It's like when people complain about people who have a lot of tax write offs.

If the IRS allows them, why are they at fault? They are following the rules.

[BJWilliams]

Agreed...if it was legal at the time, what makes it slimy?

[flamehunter]

But Rudy was a lifelong Terps fan! It's just not fair!

[ALUmnus]

Okay, I see now. The only valid reason for hating UConn: ACC fan

No Jake hates the ACC as well. He's a Terps fan.
