Re: OT: Official NCAA tourney chat thread!
Sorry, zagsfan. That was a brutal, brutal finish.
As a longtime Blazers, Stanford, and Newcastle UFC fan, I definitely feel that pain.

Re: OT: Official NCAA tourney chat thread!
UCLA all the way. from 17 down to the win. The refs even help the Zags out with that call against Collison. He was most definatly in the act of shooting.

well, for about 3-4 years (I think) they did close down and repair the maple street bridge so it could hold more than 20...it might be pushing it tho.

Re: OT: Official NCAA tourney chat thread!
Its been a tought night for me, but nothing I'm not used to...
My teams never win it all, its just the way it goes...
I'm proud of my boys Morrison, Batista, Raivio and the whole gang...A great season, many memories that I'll cherish...
I might be a little annoying with all my Gonzaga/Morrison chatter, but its just me, I'm a diehard through and through...I eat, sleep and breathe Gonzaga basketball...
So have your fun gloating about how were not that good and Morrison is overrated yada yada....
Life goes on though and Gonzaga isn't going anywhere...We have our best recruiting class yet coming in and some solid transfers, including a McDonalds All-American...
So now that Gonzaga's seasons over and the Blazers are dueling for lottery balls...I'm hoping my Cards can win the World Series (probably not, but thats just part of being a fan I guess)...
Now here's to drafting Morrison and one day reliving Rip City...

Oh gawd..you're a Cards fan? I was going to say sorry about the Zags losing, irregardless of your neverending Morrison banter, but being a Cubs fan I'll just say that I hope your misery cotinues well into the fall....

One guy that I really like? Luc Richard Mbah a Moute. I'd read that he was like Ron Artest "without the crazy"... and he looks like he's going to be a heck of a player. Long, defensively capable and seemingly with good offensive tools.

Re: OT: Official NCAA tourney chat thread!
Another thought on the UCLA win: I couldn't believe the calls the Zags were getting, but I was even more surprised at how vocal the announcers were about it.
Then the Bruins seemed to get away with some slapping and grabbing the last couple of possessions... not the best refereeing in the history of the world.

Re: OT: Official NCAA tourney chat thread!
UCLA is about to regain the prominence that they once had and never should have lost. Howland's got a young team in the elite eight and is reestablishing the recruiting dominance that UCLA was known for.

Re: OT: Official NCAA tourney chat thread!
Yea what was totally insane was the Texas vs WVU events that were parelleling it the whole time..they were going back and forth from game to game with huge plays being made one right after another...props to CBS for the excellent tourney coverage...the last 10 seconds of the Texas game was incredible, and then the Gonzaga finish right next to it made the best 10 minutes of basketball coverage I have seen in a long time.

I watched the game in HDTV, which rocked, but the HDTV broadcast doesn't switch the same way that normal broadcast does. Which is weird. They ran a ticker at the beginning of the game letting me know that if I wanted to watch cutaways I'd have to watch the normal broadcast.
So I missed the Texas ending. But the HD signal was probably worth it, in spite of the fact that it confuses me why cutaways aren't available in the HD broadcast.
