Memphis has completely blown this entire half, yet they still lead by 14.

Oh hell yeah they sucked, they made it to the sweet 16, were ranked in the top 5 all year, won the regular season SEC title, rather it was weak or not, it was impressive. Ran into the best 3 seed in the tourney, so they shouldn't have been playing Louisville cuz they were the 2nd best 2 seed, maybe 3rd. So yeah they sucked, NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! Obviously, u just have issues. GO KANSAS JUST TO PISS U OFF, and also I have them winning it all, but mainly to piss u off.

bearsfan_51 · 03-28-2008, 11:46 PM

How dare Roy Williams leave Kansas for the school that Kansas originally took him from in the first place. What a jerk.

yodapoop · 03-28-2008, 11:53 PM

I need to vent some more. I don't understand some of my fellow Milwaukee Pantherians. They hate Bruce Pearl and Bo Ryan cuz they once were here and moved onto greener pastures. One of them Wisconsin, the other to Tennessee. Actually I haven't heard much hate on Ryan, but he went to Madison, but since 97% of the people that go here are Badger fans anyway, they don't hate on him, but if he went anywhere else, they would hate him. See, with Pearl, he could not go to Wisconsin, Bo Ryan was there. Those two coaches put us on the map, if we didn't have them, God knows where we would be. Pearl gets hated on cuz he moved onto a big school. I have no problem with him doing so. Why stay in the Horizon League when u can be in the SEC with millions. As journalism major I will make this compairison, why stay at the Milwaukee Journal Sentintal when u can write for the Chicago Tribune or Minneapolis Star Tribune where they have more than 1 of the 3 major league teams. The Bucks suck and I don't count Green Bay, they are 1 hour and a half away. Well, getting back on subject, I like my uncle Bo and I love Brucey, and I wanna have his babies. GOOD DAY!

If I hear the words Stephen Curry again, I will have to kill something, Good lord, don't get me wrong, I love the underdog, and wanna see the small school win, but there is more than 1 guy on the team, and the people in the media need to stay a good 500 feet away from him cuz they are getting a little scary.

He deserves a fair share of the attention he's getting because he's absolutely nasty, but Jason Richards and Andrew Lovedale have been completely forgot about, they have both been great all tournament long.

PackerLegend · 03-29-2008, 12:40 AM

All I heard was Curry...Curry...Curry...Curry... throughout the entire game because the announcers have such a boner over him. I hope he fails miserable the next game not because I hate him but the announcers/media and maybe they will finally shut up

thetedginnshow · 03-29-2008, 12:51 AM

Beyond the jealous Wisconsin fans, I don't see what everyone else's problem with it is. If you're playing as well as Curry has, he deserves the praise. It'd be different if he wasn't playing well and still getting a ton of love.

Nobodies jealous. Both teams were, and are great teams.

Probably because he destroyed your team and made them look like 8th graders. What else were they supposed to talk about? He was the story.

And I was rooting for Wisconsin in the tourney.

The way Curry was playing, has been playing, he could destroy anybody...

Actually, that's wrong.

In any case, these Elite Eight games have the potential to be really great games, or blowouts beyond the Memphis/Texas game. Should be interesting.

It's not the fact that he left...It's how he left that pisses Kansas fans off

I can understand he left for UNC, but reassuring everyone in the KU community that he was going to stay after he was first offered the job, the fake persona that he had, the manipulative nature that he had, the attitude that he ran the Athletic Department all really piss me off

But most of all, it's the flirting between Roy and Dean Smith during the week of the National Championship that really pisses me off. Dean Smith cost us a National Championship, it that's what pisses me off more than anything.

Ooooh..I get it. All of the players for Kansas decided to be worse than Syracuse's players because Dean Smith had a hard on for Roy Williams? Wait, I don't get it.

kwilk103 · 03-29-2008, 01:51 AM

wvu's worse loss ever:

2005 vs ul in elite 8

up by 20 at half; tie game at end of regulation, miss a layup for the win

Hit the archives, and then you'll see what I mean...

Kansas came out obiviously flat and distracted, which resulted in Syracuse jumping out to a pretty sizable lead...Also, I don't think the whole affair affected the players as much as it affected Roy's coaching ability

toonsterwu · 03-29-2008, 02:26 AM

I still like Louisville over UNC tomorrow. I think they have the size to match them inside and the ability to challenge Lawson and slow him down. That's my only bracket that I largely got right.

I think Xavier wins tomorrow as well. UCLA's been too inconsistent and I think that Xavier has the athleticism to force the issue. That said, Xavier has to be on.

As for Sunday, I'd love to pick Davidson. I would. But I can't. Can they really match up with this bigger, more athletic team? One of the untold stories on their tournament run is that, they faced good situations where their athleticism could force pressure, as teams like the Hoyas and Badgers weren't equipped, and to an extent, neither were the Zags. But Kansas is a far different story.

I thought a guard oriented team would come out of the Memphis bracket. I just picked the wrong guard oriented team (Marquette). I think Texas' more polished guards will cause trouble for the Tigers backcourt.

So, I'm seeing Kansas vs. Louisville and Xavier vs. Texas. Hmm ... ugh ... if it's a Big 12 final rematch for the title, I'll hate that.

I'm just saying, Davidson seems to be every1's favorite even with the first round game when Charlotte native Billy Packer and his moronic partner Jim Nantz were so pathetically biased. They were like Chip Caray and TBS in the ALDS between the Yankees and Indians last year. But also, its all about Curry with them. Like when the announcer said last night, "in case ur just joining us, its been all Stephen Curry tonight", its almost like Lovedale or Richards and crew have been scrubs and doing jack ****. Or compairing it to Melo in 03 and Bird in whatever year that was, that is not the case. What Kobe Bryant did last night, that was single handily, Stephen Curry, his teammates are not getting enough love.

yodapoop · 03-29-2008, 12:23 PM

BTW, I got UNC, UCLA, Kansas (because I had all 3 of those at the beginning of this thing), and lastly I have Texas.

Sticking with my original pick, I still got Kansas over UCLA.

But Davidson scares me, they could be like the Bucknell and Bradley type team where Kansas overlooks them, overlooking to UNC and Coach Choke choking again, but I do not see that happening.
