Vermont Upsets Syracuse

[Pepper]

and thus ends the "Big East is the best conference in basketball" debate.

ahem ..mr.mod, we have a madness thread already

 

[Cold Iron]

....but dammit, I had 'cuse as a final 4

 

[Dale Mabry]

I just made a whole lot of money.

 

[I Are Baboon]

Cool, I think I'll ski Mt Snow tomorrow to celebrate.

'Cuse is my first Elite 8 team to bite the big one.

 

[ZECH]

I only had them to win that game so no big loss for me. Yep, the big east is crap!
ACC baby!

Baboon, you live in VT?

 

[I Are Baboon]

Baboon, you live in VT?

No, I live in Simsbury, CT. It's about 1:45 drive to Mt Snow. I have family in Vermont, though (Springfield and West Dover).

I don't think this does anything to end the argument of which conference is the best. Vermont is a very good team, and when your two best players are turning the ball over at will and shooting bricks, your not going to beat a very good team regardless of how good your team is.

Duke was embarrassing, NC State did exactly what I thought and didnt impress at all, Georgia Tech and Wake Forest the same. North Carolina is head and shoulders above every team in the country, and I expect them to win it all, but as far as the ACC/Big East argument goes, I don't think anything is solved by a Syracuse first round loss.

We'll get to see a hands on Big East/ACC game soon with Wake Forest and West Virginia. WVU will hang with them, count on it.

 

[Pepper]

ahem...Pittsburgh?

 

[Pepper]

ahem....BC?

The Big East is better than the ACC...MY ASS!!!!!!!

 

[I Are Baboon]

Man, that Milwaukee team played an outstanding game.

 

[Pepper]

Man, that Milwaukee team played an outstanding game.

Yep, I like the way they play.

 

[I Are Baboon]

I think the coolest thing about that game is that I'm on my fourth beer.

 

[soxmuscle]

ahem Wake Forest

 

[soxmuscle]

Yep, I like the way they play.

They are extremely quick and fiesty, and you have to applaud that but when kids are shoving the opposition and punching players in the nuts, thats where the line is crossed.

 

[Pepper]

ahem Wake Forest

yep...the team I was pulling for lost, but I don't think I have enjoyed any basketball game more.

WVU just beat them. Simple as that.

 

[MTN WARRIOR]

gO cATAMOUNTS.. BEAT MICH STATE

 

[I Are Baboon]

fucking UConn.

 

[Pepper]

fucking UConn.

Georgia Tech lost too...I guess it will be two different teams in the finals for sure now.

My brackets are trashed now. Oh well...

 

[X Ring]

I graduate from UVM then they start doing well!! Wish at least one team was good when I was there

 

[soxmuscle]

thats what happens when you have Coppenrath and Sorrentine.

 

[Eggs]

My final four is still somewhat decent... had thought Wake would be there, but apparently not.

 

[soxmuscle]

Arizona, Louisville, North Carolina, and Duke for me. I need some cash big time for supplements and shit, pray these teams make it for me.

 

[X Ring]

thats what happens when you have Coppenrath and Sorrentine.

They are both good ball player but totally different people. TJ (Sorrentine) is one of those self proclaimed super stars (I would imagine he is a Yankees fan) while Tyler C is a real honest nice kid who's bustin his ass in the classroom too (Probably a sox fan). I'm glad they won, mostly b/c it gave made me call some of my college buddies and some of them call me
