My god I fucking hate Syracuse, always have and always will. Boeheim is a piece of shit.

Also, well done UVA. The year when MSU decides to get dominated and lose first round to pretty much seal your Final Four bid you go and completely gag to a 10 seed that probably should have been lucky to have even been in the play-in game. What a joke.

Can you explain how the @#$% that team lost to St. John's by 12 points?

That's what's crazy. St. John's was awful and Cuse lost to them.

None of this changes they never should have made the tourney. But it's damn impressive how they have at least done their part to make us look like idiots. They had an easy ride to this point. But this game was a hell of a win. Just crazy.

Has double digit seed won a final four game?

I know vcu and George Mason were proven to be frauds in their game there.

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.

They had the road paved with gold for them. They shot themselves in the foot instead of walking it.

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

It was one of the weakest years in recent memory.

People forgot about it because the top teams finished strong. But all the top seeds were flawed.

Just because Jay Bilas and his cronies pick all chalk doesn't mean it's going to happen.

No, they never have. LSU was an 11 seed and lost, Mason lost to Florida as an 11, and VCU lost to butler as an 11.

Good win by the Orangeman. But I can help but think that Oklahoma would light that zone up.
As a UNC fan Oklahoma is 1 team I am worried about. They can match UNC with athletic ability, inside and they are a better 3pt shooting team and they have a better star player who I don't think we can cover.

Last night as I was watching Kansas miss outside shot after outside shot against Villanova, I told my wife that Villanova better not play OU that way. I don't think they will.

I didn't think so.

This game is basically the national semi final. The road is paved for UNC or nd

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.

I had Cuse as screwed at halftime so I probably shouldn't talk. But I just don't see a viable way them or ND beat this red hot UNC team at this time.

I don't even give Nova or OU much of a shot.

ND 1%. Cuse 5%. Nova 20% and OU 30%.

Cuse good wins: Dayton, Gonzaga, UV, Uconn, Duke.

Ended the season poor that almost took them out. Losing 5 of 6.

Cuse has owned nd the last 2 seasons.

Maybe you are right. Vegas probably would agree with you. I have a hard time betting against this Cuse team at this time. They are just making things happen. No star players, they shot horribly today, yet UVA was worse, they play a solid defense has worked so far. Again, beating a team 3 times from the same conference is a tough task to do.

In that case I guess they might as well cancel one of the semis in Houston next week.
