I still like Kansas to win it all.

I'm sticking with Georgetown, and the Tigers to take the NIT.
Go Tigers!
LOL, Sportscenter just said the Orange would need to adjust from playing in front of a crowd of normal home crowd of 27K to 11K tonight. Hopefully you guys sold some more tickets.

To make up for selling tickets we started giving them away. First 1,000 kids under 12 get a free ticket when an adult purchaes 1 with them. All students get in free now.
Nice. That's the way to do it. Fill up those seats!!!
I hope you guys go to NY, I'll be rooting for you.

Well 10,000 screaming fans in Little John tonight....got scary towards the end there but we held on strong and beat the Orangemen by 4 points....the last 10 minutes were the longest in basketball history I think....nothin but foul shots....oh yeah and the refs sucked the big one....well here we come NY...go Tigers!

Go Tigers! It was pretty rocking in the at points tonight. We still dont have the nonstop intensity for bball that others do but were getting there.
Good game fellas. I watched and was rooting for you. Definitely looked better on TV crowd-wise than Monday night. The give away ticket strategy worked, good job!!
Richard - I don't think you can hate on my man Rivers tonight. He was en fuego in the first half and ended up with almost 30. Sykes provided a huge spark off the bench. He'll be on SportsCenter Top 10 tomorrow morning - he had 2 dunks that are worthy, the 2nd getting my vote.
Hopefully you got to see Boeheim's wife. She was there and she is hawt!!!!
He's at least 20 years older than her...
Games like this are the main reason why I quit betting. Vegas is scary good with the spreads and it's always late game BS that takes you down. If you bet on the Tigers and the points (3.5), you looked golden all game. Then the Cuse comes back, makes it close, and Devendorf scores an acrobatic, prayer layup to make it a 3 point game with a second to go. Damn, lost the bet. Wait, Syracuse fouls and leaves .1 on the clock. Clemson, true to form, hits 1 of 2 and makes it a 4 point victory. I wouldn't have wanted my G hanging on Clemson's foul shooting.
Yeah, you won the bet but lost 10 years of your life. Not for me, not anymore...
Travel safe to New York!!!

Yeah Vegas knows what they are doing thats why they have millions and most people leave with a lot less then they came with. As for KC I never hated on him I said he should have gotten more respect as the 6th man of the yr in the ACC. He is the teams leading scorer. He stepped up huge tonight with Booker being in foul trouble. Sykes definitely had a couple good dunks. he missed 2 or 3 though. I think we missed at least 5 dunks. It was a good game and Air Force will be another good one I'm excited if we could pull off the NIT win that would be a big step for the program.
How about this from earlier in the season...
Either way, dude's got game.
Also, Sykes is #4 on SportsCenter Top 10 and it's the 2nd of the two I mentioned.

That was 1 game it just happened to be a big one. He made up for it last night. I think Booker is gonna be our leading scorer next yr though so long as he doesnt get a bunch of bs fouls like last night.
UNC had something for the WEST COAST last night.
I guess it was a year too early for USC. OJ's not on campus and telling coach Floyd what to do until next year.
lol Good one.
UNC didn't get it done today. A very depressing ending. Here's to next year.

How many players is UNC losing to the NBA this yr? Clemson is only losing 1 player and I dont forsee old Vernon making the NBA.
Got 2 of the 4 in my $ pool but I think I'm out of it now. Although I'm in the top 50,000 on foxsports hit 7 of the 8 and all the 4.

Yeah, after being down 16....HA!.
Two Pac-10 teams in the elite eight. 20%, and 1 ACC. I think that proves a point, especially considering that University of Spoiled Children had quite a showing. They had UNCs number for sure, too bad they got complacent. I expect that type of s*** from USC though.
And now, one Pac-10 in the final four, and 0 ACC. That is my type of final four. The overrated conference goes home.
Pac-10 had a very strong showing in this years tournament. My case rests.
UCLA sucks! They took out my favorite, Kansas.
Oh well......Go Gators!

While you are correct about the Pac-10 playing well in the tourney this year compared to the ACC, Pac-10 versus ACC year in and year out isn't even a conversation worth having. ACC rules Pac-10's face!!!!
Once you get past your jealousy and hate for the best conference in college hoops, you'll see the light.
Again, too bad that wasn't our original bet. I still need to PM you my address.
to Clemson for making it to the finals of the NIT and for being the last ACC team playing hoops.If anyone watched the game last night, especially the ending, it again proves my point about gambling, the spread, Vegas line setters and my blood pressure.

GO TIGERS!
We looked like just a much better team for about 35 minutes of that game. I was impressed with the way we played and the way we responded every time we were pushed if we play like that again thur WVU will be going home to their cousins and the trophy will be coming to Clemson.
