So this tournament has been decent

Unbelievable.

I think it was the 16th or 17th overtime last night when I made the comment that it felt like at least three days since Louisville had played. The 'Nova/Marquette madness, refusing to believe that Pitt was going down and then whatever the hell last night was. We're only at the semifinals and I think it's already safe to claim that this is the best conference tournament U of L has ever been a part of.

Also worth noting: the Big East team that has been represented with a picture on each open thread has won its game.

Just sayin'.

ADMM is greedy.

Ahemmm.......

Let me be the first to say that I was the first to say Syracuse would upset UConn. Of course I thought it would take less time than the War of the Roses, but still…

Were

there only four OT’s in the War of the Roses? Five? I must have been thinking of the Punic Wars.

Hey oldman

“War Of The Roses” with Devito, Kathleen Turner (oh, man….“Body Heat”…. to schmuck lawyer at the bar, "Ned, you’re stupid…I like that in a man), and Michael Douglas, ran 116 minutes so your point is well taken that the game took longer than the war.

Raftery

at the automat at 4:00 AM for lox and scotch, single malt.

Gottleib on ESPN, g r u d g i n g l y saying that if Cards win BEAST he will omnipotently grant them a one seed.

These guys…these guys…so wrong, yet so much swagger.

LOL

I didn’t watch (dammit) but I’d be willing to bet that rafftery was getting audibly nervous about the game cutting into his drinking time afterwards.

speaking of which, someone pointed this out in the other thread: what if that had been the first game of the evening (ie, wvu/pitt) and that cuse/uconn hadn’t tipped off till 1130pm ish?

I know what you mean

Maybe even agains men he is fearless.

Devendorf is a creep

And last night’s marathon gave him an extended period to display his creepiness, leaving no doubt that he is one identify-conflicted son of a gun. And not too bright, either.
