How south carolina gamecocks doing these days!!!

saintsation said:

they won the NIT again they should've been in the real tourney instead of the tourney for losers

AnckSuNamun said:

Oh they won the whole thing again. So that makes them the 65th best team in the bation again. OK. Watch Lsu women take the entire ACC clan out in final 4!!!

You do love the exclamation points, don't you? Periods are fun, too

u2prnce said:

oh damn....I just scrolled back up and like every post has an exclamation

saintsation said:

Yeah, SC's going to the real big dance next year. Women's Final 4 is on now. I just don't want the UConn women to win for like the thousandth time.

LSU definitely got spanked, but it was a good run for them.

Definitely a good run. As a Gators fan, I'd still prefer Florida face LSU than go against a team they haven't played before. They've had success against LSU--although it's very hard to beat a team three times in one season(go ask South Carolina about that one ) , but they've never played UCLA.

I saw UCLA @ Cal a few days before the Pac 10 Conference championship. While they looked ok (coming back from 10 down to take Cal in OT), I am pretty surprised they made it this far. They looked dominant yesterday. I just want a close game.

I think UCLA has had much closer games (besides LSU) than Florida. Florida has led the tournament with winning margin(14 or 15pts avg. I think). Georgetown was an ugly game and this one could be, too. But nothing could be uglier than the Florida-South Carolina SEC championship game. It was the worst played basketball game I've ever watched from start to finish. I don't think either team broke 50! I'm as surprised as anyone by how well they've played lately.

AnckSuNamun said:

I just saw a little bit of the women's.....and forgot that Duke was the team that beat UConn. Shows how much I pay attention to women's basketball. I try to, I really do, but I just can't get into it like I can with the men's. I hope the lady Heels win it all though.

Stax said:

I would think a close game favors UCLA slightly, because I think it would probably be low scoring if that's the case. Florida has won close games recently (Georgetown and South Carolina), but when they had a losing streak after their 17-0 start, it was all close games they were losing. Their team was unselfish to the point that they didn't have a 'closer'. I think they've solved that problem, but you never know.

That's cool. Albert (pictued with Alberta) is ready for ya!

DiminutiveRocker said:

This old lady agrees with you.



Of course, she probably died right after they took this pic, so I wouldn't go counting on her support.

u2prnce said:

that's just awful

The Gators were hungry last night.

I missed most of the first half.....it was kinda a disappointing game. I mean I was going for the Gators over UCLA, but I was expecting a closer game.

I'm picking Purdue.....oops too late.

AnckSuNamun said:

Congrats to the Gators who played a terrific game. Our UCLA guys stayed behind pretty much the whole game but didn't give up, and they'll be back next year
Howland is a class act - it was a great season!

DiminutiveRocker said:

Read for a rematch, then? If Noah gets any better, it's gonna be ridiculous. I've never seen a guy who's almost seven feet tall break a guy down from the top of the key w/the crossover dribble and then drive and dunk. It's just insane.

u2prnce said:

Always ready for a rematch! Just like Memphis!

Noah played very well - but I saw a few double-dribbles and walks that weren't called also. He is one tall glass of water, though!

Ralph Sampson

Graycap23 said:

Never saw him play, but I do know the name.

u2prnce said:

7'4" and he thought he was a guard.

Graycap23 said:

Wow. The only thing Noah needs to do is maybe get a little bigger for the NBA. Was Sampson a good shot blocker and passer, too? I love when Noah runs the break.

u2prnce said:

Ralph was a very good player but he was just too inconsistent. He had GREAT talent though.

Graycap23 said:

I hope Noah comes back to school for at least one more year. He can still improve, which is scary. He doesn't need the money that he would get from being a lotter pick(his dad's rich) and I think he gets alot out of being in school and playing with his friends. His raw exuberance is great to see. And he's pretty funny.

u2prnce said:

You can never create that college experience. I'd stay in school with some good insurance.
