    Fantastic Lies

    Agree with you. I haven't posted in many moons. dukiejay, I suspect you remember your old terp friend from theses boards! In any case, I remember when the scandal was happening and all the back and forth on this board. It was a very wild time and such a travesty in the end. I also recall when...

    Next season?

    Kennard and Allen on the wings could be interesting, exciting to watch.

    UK vs Wisconsin

    ^Dekker is a matchup problem for Kentucky, and anyone else in the country.

    UK vs Wisconsin

    The quickness point is reasonable, but I still think the Wisconsin frontline presents all kinds of problems for Kentucky. First, they have NBA size (and skill). Cauley-Stein can check anyone of them, but he can't check all of them. IMO, Towns cannot guard any of the 3 on the perimeter, which...

    THR says...

    As big "IFS" go, that is certainly one of the biggest. No one will have to worry with this speculation after Thursday.

    How I am viewing the rest of the tournament

    Funny, because of your subject line I expected to read a potentially humorous post about the rituals you will perform: what you will wear, what you will drink, where you will sit, how you will sit, etc... FWIW, I suspect I will be viewing the majority of the tournament with a Manhattan in...

    Utah

    ^Yes, Majerus was one of the best. O-fense, indeed! Loved that Andre Miller team that made a run to the finals. Favorite Majerus studio moment: after a tournament game, the talking heads were all speculating on what coaches say to teams after a tough loss or a tough win, and furthermore what...

    Sweet 16 Matchups - Pick Your Winners

    My original bracket has the elite eight still in tact: Notre Dame v. Kentucky Wisconsin v. Arizona Gonzaga v. Duke Louisville v. Michigan State My original final 4: Kentucky, Wisconsin, Gonzaga, Michigan State The only change I would make now is Duke over Gonzaga. Of course, anyone can win...

    Utah

    agree on first point; the PAC 12 is loaded with talent and Utah acquitted themselves quite well this season. They have good size, good shooters and an excellent coach. Still, I think Duke is just better. If Duke doesn't shoot well, they could be in trouble, but they seem to be playing really...

    NCAA tourney thread

    I knew the Big 12 was over rated; every team in that league was seeded too high.

    Izzo popped the Terps.

    Hmmmm.... 4 seeds: Maryland 27-6 UNC 24-11 Louisville 24-8 Georgetown 24-11 3 seeds: Baylor 24-9 Oklahoma 22-10 Iowa State 25-8 Notre Dame 29-5 Only Notre Dame has more wins than Maryland (and fewer losses). I understand your anti-terrapin sentiment, but Maryland certainly deserved to be on...

    Izzo popped the Terps.

    Maryland got jobbed as a 4 seed in Kentucky's region. Just silly. Terps finish 2nd in a 7 bid league with wins over Wisconsin, Iowa State (3 seed) and Ok St (away) plus other wins over other tournament teams. By comparison, the other 4 seeds have double digit losses. Georgetown a 4? Really...

    Maryland beats Wisconsin and...

    You haven't been watching. Say what you will about the fans, but they have been there all year, and in years past. It is a great atmosphere every conference game. Obviously last night was special - 1 v. 2 and an opportunity to gain momentum/confidence turning to March. I think you are...
