This pisses me off. These athletes are kids, and stupid fucks like you seem to believe you can rag on them and talk shit about them for playing a game, growing up and having some fun. They don't get paid, they're not going to make money on basketball, but they lay it on the line and work their asses off. You, on the other hand have nothing in the game other than a cheering interest...and you've run you fucking mouth about UW too many times...they've fucking owned your school for the last 10 to 15 years in hoops and football...so sit the fuck down...shut your stupid fucking trap...watch the games and cheer...fucking moron

I shutter to think what you do when someone cracks a joke about people you know personally

apparently you haven't watched him play most of the season then because he's made that a
shot quite a few times this season just not with .04 left in overtime of the sweet 16..
Going full speed in mid-air at an angle is one of the hardest shots to make in basketball. Not only is the distance hard to judge because the distance is changing rapidly during the arc of the jump you need to adjust for the angle by aiming the ball left when your momentum is going right. It's a really tough shot and it's impressive both teams gone one off before the buzzer but I think Florida's was harder because of the speed and the angle.

I understand but im serious when i say that hes made a similar at full speed shot from thw 3pt line a few times this season.. so not completely out of the question.. i will see if i can locate a few highlight shots from this season

Shit...I had Wisky and UCLA in my final four. Only Gonzaga left in my bracket. They'll probably shit a blank today against X.

He had such a clear uncontested lane that he was practically at the FT line when he released that shot. So it was a quality look.

Bad defense by Wisky, but honestly, they were so lucky to even send the game to OT. Just watched the highlights...

It's a tough shot to make uncontested and it's a much higher difficulty than a typical mid-range shot from just outside the free throw line.

Yes, but it's a much easier shot than a 5'10" guard trying to make a 25 footer contested by a 6'6" guy, which is what typically happens in that spot.

Hayes was inexplicably guarding the Chiozza and effectively screened off his own man from picking him up. Bad D, but like I said, Wisky was 'lucky' to even be at that point and then they got beat by a 'lucky' shot.

The tourney giveth and the tourney taketh...

My team (UNC) has a very small chance. This kentucky team is scary. As a basketball fan I kind of want to see Kentucky vs Kansas but as UNC fan I want to kick some butt.

Meh, Kentucky puts out this kind of team every three years. Some years it will be strong in the backcourt like this year. Other years strong in the frontcourt, other years the wings. It's nothing special to me and none of the guys strike me as NBA stars.

UNC vs Kansas. THAT will be special. Juniors and Seniors who have been to the dance every year. That game needs to happen.
