APR Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 You never know, there's always upset. George Mason is the only 11 seed to ever make it to the Elite 8 since like the earlys 1980's, so that tells you something right there. I think the GMU v. UCONN game will be a lot closer than anyone thinks. I'm talking margin of victory below 5 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basballfanatik9 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Here's my predictions of the Elite 8 results. Texas over LSU Memphis over UCLA Florida over Villanova George Mason over UConn (very close game, tough decision by me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronuconn Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Uconn over George mason by 15+. It wont be close. No way george mason will win. A 25 point win wouldnt surprize me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegz Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Calhoun will fix things in UConn, there talent and depth is unmatched, they are just lazy. My 4 is still out there. UConn, Florida, Texas, UCLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat Michigan St. who basically beat themselves, and inexperienced UNC, and even the Wichita St. coach said that his Shockers played it really poorly. Sure they beat 2 previous final 4 teams but all George Mason really did was take advantage of teams playing poorly. If UConn works things out they should win by alot. Washington was a really solid team they just beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 There are 13.7 seconds left but it appears Texas is on their way to elimination. There goes "The Triad" of sports championships. I wonder if that accomplishment has ever been done before... Let's go Bruins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravesj858 Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 for the first time ever, my homerism doesn't get me burned. now, ucla has to win the whole thing, otherwise my bracket sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 the problem with the pool is that it detracts me from enjoying the games. For instance , in the Florida - Georgetown game I needed Florida to win so I could advance in my bracket and maintain my #1 place in the online tournament I am in , but I am a Georgetown fan so I didn't want to see them lose. I was never that big of a gambler anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I can't wait to see how good Florida and Georgetown will be next year. If Hibbert can develop any kind of offensive game, they are going to be something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 and when faced with their first challenge all tournament memphis couldn't step up , and UCLA wins. I never saw Memphis as a serious championship or final four contender , mainly because of my prejudice against mid-majors. Memphis was a good team , but should they really have deserved the #1 seed? While Memphis lost in their conference tournament , UCLA pounded Cal in the PAC-10 tournament to win their conference. Shouldn't UCLA have received that #1 seed instead of a mid-major? edit : George Mason - UConn just went to OT. I'm very disappointed in Uconn's performance in the tournament. At least one of the teams they have played should have been blown out , but instead UConn has played "too close for comfort" and had to be bailed out twice in the final seconds , once by rashard anderson and once by a lucky tip-in with less than a second left. I am getting concerned about UConn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spivey11 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 George Mason just pulled off one of the biggest upsets in a long time. Even though I had UConn to win the National Championship, I'm glad to see GMU doing this good.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravesj858 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 i knew uconn was not going to win this thing...becuase of their horrid perfomance in the big east tourney and they seemed to luck out of their previous games. their luck had to run out somewhere and it was here.

mrmariner Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 No #1's are left, Florida just beat Villanova. So who is going to win it? I think LSU is very physical and has some big boys inside, thats who Iam taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

friar Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I cant believe Mason beat UConn. Great game by the Pats. But UCLA is still winning it all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 UCLA could've been really good for the past couple years if Bozeman wasn;t hurt all the time. I remember when he was the "next big thing" in college basketball. It's great for the NCAA to have UCLA back among the elites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basballfanatik9 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 LSU baby! I'm going w/the boys to Indy this weekend! Ahh Good game for LSU, I am still so pissed that Texas lost to a bunch of underclassmen and a senior. We were two games away from setting history, maybe it will happen in the future if Texas sports stay strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred13 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Its Joakim Noah, and hes a freakin beast. He plays centre but he can handle the point nicely. He knows how to work the ball around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filthy57 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 And he's only a sophomore. Florida is going to be scary next year. Yeah. They showed a graphic during the Florida-Nova game that showed the percentage of points that freshman & sophomores score for Florida against the juniors & seniors of Villanova. Scary.
