Beating a team 3 times is a tough task. I think those games were pretty close if I'm not mistaken. I still like 'Cuse on the 3rd try.

They both went to the wire from what I remember

Disagree BIG time. This is great. I do think it shows that seeding is off a little but Im happy they made the Tournament. People forget they were close to not making it.

They never should have made it but it goes to show how the so called experts overrated teams like Kansas and Virginia.

First #10 seed.

George Mason and VCU were both 11 seeds.

I don't recall who the first one was.

lsu i think....

 

[The Q]

lsu i think....

Do you know what seed they were?

 

[GNG]

damn....went to put my daughter to bed with uva up 14.

It's tough to understand how the favored team can blow such a big lead.

After the Northern Iowa/A&M, etal games, I'm beginning to think the fixes might be in!!!!!

#11 in 1986

Cuse was horrible at home during the 1st meeting and lost by 11. The 2nd meeting at UNC was a much better showing by Cuse as they fell by 5. This is a different situation and basically all of the pressure falls on the heels of the UNC team imo. I like Syracuse in this matchup if it happens. I can honestly see an upset by the Domers actually. I can honestly see another 1 seed falling just from overlooking an opponent. I want to see UNC vs Syracuse though.

So then yes this is the first double digit seed that wasn't an 11 to get there.

We destroyed the domers though I feel good either way oddly enough

nothing over rated they made it to the Elite 8. Crap happens. Well they are showing they deserve it.

I like the matchup versus UNC than ND to be honest. ND is that other team that everybody has written off long ago. I think they will be a bunch of pests tonight imo.

 

[GNG]

Um, no. It is March. March Madness!

The ratings will be down for the final four.

 

[podsox]

Crazy that cuse was 12-13 after the battle for Atlantis. And now they are celebrating a final 4 berth

 

[The Q]

Tony Bennett is delusional.

This was his shot.

 

[GNG]

Bullshit.

 

[Wishbone]

Good win by the Orangeman. But I can help but think that Oklahoma would light that zone up.

 

[purguy12]

Nova vs UNC would be a fun championship. If Oklahoma vs UNC happens stopping buddy will be tough and they are just athletic as UNC.

If UNC doesn't make it Nova vs ND would be fun. Old Big East battle(same for Cuse if they make it.)

 

[purguy12]

Bullshit.

Over rated would be losing in the 1st or 2nd rd. Even maybe the 3rd rd. Losing in the 4th rd happens. its a tough road. its not easy to win.
