Stick a fork in Wisconsin. A true embarrassment to the B1G. :thumbup:

Haha, I love watching Wisconsin struggle. I think they just missed 5 3's on a single possession.

Deal with it!

I got a nice payday with real money taking Albany at +18 as well. Also parlayed it with the over of 133 and thankfully lucked out and won some from that too.

EZ money betting against Duke. They always have a bunch of homers taking ridiculous spreads. :thumbup:

Yeah, Henderson is a joke. As soon as "Chuck" goes cold (like he was in the first half today going 1 of 11), Ole Miss is done. Henderson is a bigger black hole than the Andromeda Galaxy.

I actually now hope that Gonzaga gets to that game (if Ole Miss ends up in the Sweet 61) and drop kicks that fucker.

Congratulations, Laley. Lol.

25 to 10 run to end the game in the last like 11 minutes that is just crazy. Awesome to see Wisky go down. LETS GO LA SALLE!

I'm torn between being happy that Wisconsin lost, sad the Traevon is out of the player pool and wondering if OSU and the B1G might be over rated.

Henderson is no different than Thomas who Buckeye fans defend.

Wow, the west is really opening up for Ohio State. I think the Buckeyes will play Iowa State -> Arizona -> Kansas St. LOL Ez.

Honestly, let's just bench the entire OSU team and win with our second string. It'll make the games more exciting. :thumbup:

I don't think OSU or the B1G is overrated.

Wisconsin is what they are. They are a team that is going to generally be in close games because of their style of play. That can help against superior teams as it gives them a shot, and it hurts against inferior teams as it gives them a shot. Ole Miss started to heat up just as Wisconsin went cold and then Wisconsin started to panic.

I'm not expecting OSU to make the final 4. I'd love it if they do, and if they do I think they have a shot to beat anyone else there. BUt as long as they make it to next weekend I'll be happy. This was a rough season for OSU, remember around January people were starting to wonder if OSU could even make it out of the first weekend.

Never having to see Bruesewitz on a basketball court again calls for a celebration.

I think picking Ryan to the Sweet 16 is a solid pick. The Final Four was obviously reaching looking back, but Wisconsin has been to five Sweet 16s under Ryan, including two straight, and an elite eight. So, on a normal year, when I wouldn't pick Wisconsin all the way to the Final Four, I would be alright picking them. This year they got upset early and I lost.

But I still think that this Wisconsin team could have went deep in this tournament with the matchups it had from here on out. Ole Miss ended the game on a crazy run, though, and Wisconsin is going home.

My West bracket was done yesterday, but if Temple and Miami hold on I'm looking at a 4-0 start to today.

Who's going to beat them in the West? (I don't think they are unbeatable by any means, but the West is pretty weak now IMHO.)

I did over react in January and I'm probably over reacting now.

Temple is HUGE for me now (I have them to the Elite Eight). If Indiana gets out of that pod (which is what will happen), I am officially done. Temple can actually avert the disaster that is my Wisconsin pick.

Anybody who picked N.C. State to beat Temple hasn't been watching N.C. State this year. Mark Gottfried deserves to be fired, even if they somehow pull this game out today.

While Thomas does jack up shots, at least his are usually pretty decent shots(as evident by him shooting better % from the field than Henderson) Henderson jacks up fadeaway off balance 3 pointers like its his job.

edit: and acts like a complete DB when he makes shots

Really the only teams I think that will have a chance are KSU and La Salle. But I am now rooting for La Salle to come out of the west. Lets go Explorers!!!
