I'm surprised there are no topics for this!

Just watched my Syracuse Orange beat first seed Indiana 🙂 So happy 🙂
 
There aren't very many American sports fans here. 😛

I am glad that Indiana lost because they were picked to win in a lot of brackets. I always pick a #2 seed to win the championship, so I went with Georgetown this year. They lost to Florida Gulf Coast University early on, so that was disappointing. I am in a couple different groups and for me to have a chance at winning them, I am going to need all of the common championship picks to lose. Because of this, I am rooting for Florida Gulf Coast University now. 😀
 
I hate Georgetown, but that might be because I'm a Cuse fan haha. I went to the Cuse v. Villanova game back a few months ago at the Dome in Syracuse. Was such a fun game! We had box seats and free food 🙂

I didn't pick a winner because I didn't get around to making my brackets 🙁 But I want SU to at least make final four! It would be nice for Boeheim.
 
Anyone see KU lose? terrible ending to the game, they had a relatively easy layup, but the opted to go back out for the 3 that wasn't there. xD
 
I can't believe Kansas blew that lead. They had the win in the bag, but then Michigan got hot and Kansas got cold. That shot to send the game to overtime was pretty sweet. 😛

You can't really blame the final play, the game wouldn't have even went to overtime if they would have made their free throws in the closing seconds of regulation. Kansas missed a free throw right before Michigan tied the game with like 4-5 seconds left in regulation.
 
Louisville will probably win the national championship now. Not only are they the highest seed left in the Final Four, they are now also motivated by Kevin Ware's horrific injury.
 
So pissed about Syracuse losing. Horrible coaching, officiating, and playing. We just don't know how to shoot a 3-pointer. Triche, Cooney, and Southerland did absolutely nothing. C.J. Fair is the main man on that team.
 
Both games had pretty bad officiating, but that is a problem in any game. The championship is tonight! 😀
 
Officials get me so mad in basketball. they decide the game. I feel like teams that should of won lose because the official has a preference.
 
I guess I'm okay with Louisville winning the tourney. It will probably one of the last Big East teams to win for a while now.

You can't really blame the officiating, there have been a lot of bad calls all throughout this tournament, and it's like that with all sports, anywhere. That goal tending call on Trey Burke near the end of the game was a really bad call though. That was a clean block. It was an awesome block, actually.

Exactly. It is part of the game, for better or worse. I would just have more hair if they were a bit more accurate. xD That was an amazing block by Burke. I really hope he goes on for a very successful NBA career.

Yeah, it was an awesome block, but they called it goal tending, so it didn't really help the game. What did you think of Spike Albrecht? He's probably a one shot wonder, but he was awesome in the first half.

Yeah, it was sad. And wow, that kid just lit it up. He was probably playing in the moment, if you know what I mean. Is he a senior?

I think he's a freshman. That was what made his performance an even bigger deal, I think. Also, his name is awesome. 😀

Man, I wanted Michigan to win so badly!

I don't really like Louisville or Michigan, but I preferred Michigan out of the two. I only like Michigan because I like the story of the Fab Five. 🙂

Oh nice haha. My dad went to Michigan, so I've been rooting for them since I was little.
 
I'd just like to point out that I had Louisville picked to win since before the tournament began.

That is all. You may now begin to worship me. :yes:
