Teh Bestest Conf Eva!!11!

[claver2010]

11 teams in tourney, so far only 2 in Sweet 16 and the only way they have gotten those two is through in conf 2nd round games.

I have been loving it too, Barkley was just ripping on them.

[claver2010]

The city of Richmond will have the same amount of S16 teams as the NBE

[Onyx Blackman]

What's the difference between Mike Brey and Easter?

Easter has a bunny.

[branchinator]

For a football conference, I thought the Big East did fine this tournament.

[BCEagles25]

So that must mean the city of Richmond has 16 teams?

Easter has a bunny.

I remember someone on this board referred to Mike Brey as the "white Al Skinner." Seven tournament appearances in 11 years; one Sweet Sixteen.

As I siad in my ND Final Four thread...

My only consolation is that I have posted many many times, if you have a seed, lose in Round 1 and save those legs.

The Big East Tournament, ACC, Etc. needs to start on Monday and make it a Final Four.

The mid majors tourneys end the week before and rest and are fresh like horses in the Derby?

How many run the Derby Trial or Bluegrass when it was the week before or 2 --- and come back and wire the Derby field fresh.

You watch tomorrow (today)...huge discussions on how the tourney hurt the Big East and other teams. If the ACC was smart, they would start the tourney on Monday and end on Thursday and have a weeks rest.

I bet we see changes and a better prediction that this one, or teams start the tankeroo.

The best part about this was that Pitino was sitting right next to him...he looked incredibly uncomfortable.

I have called him that on this board. If I recall correctly it was when someone was criticizing Skinner and wishing we had Mike Brey instead. Didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Yeah, it was in response to someone posting an article about Mike Brey being upset about his team's lack of hustle in practice and having another practice right after it to get it right. Although he built ND into a solid program, early tournament exits and NIT bids are just as consistent.

I love it too - stayed up late to enjoy pasting of ND. I'd call Barkley stupid but that would be enormously unfair to stupid people everywhere.

I would like to be the first to congratulate Leonard Hamilton on no longer being a suck ass coach now that he has reached the holy benchmark of a Sweet 16 appearance that no one will ever remember.

Hamilton still sucks ass but I actually think they might make the Final Four. VCU's run is about to end, especially with their coach thinking he reinvented basketball. Also, I think FSU matches up well against Kansas.

I was speaking tongue in cheek about the magical Sweet 16 benchmark for determining success around here. You and I actually probably agree in all regards on (a) Hamilton (b) the benchmark and (c) the guy who will not be named that didn't reach that benchmark enough for some.

Ironing.

Sweet 16 may be an arbitrary benchmark, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he fucking sucked in the NCAA tourney. It's not arbitrary to say "he never beat a team with a higher seed in 13 years". It's also not arbitrary to say he only made it past the first weekend one fucking time. Define NCAA tourney success any fucking way you want....but there's no way you can possibly define it that would allow you to say Skinner was succesful in the NCAAs. So you can take your "arbitrary bechmark" shit and GFY.

Well then kudos to you, Leonard Hamilton. In one weekend, you are no longer a moron that can't coach your way out of a paper bag!

The Big East is full of bitches and hoes.

[BCEagles25]

Hamilton's done an ACC-COY worthy job this year. No question. They've persevered and then some without Singleton at 100%.

NCAA tourney success is defined as participating in the NCAA tourney seven out of 13 years. Al Skinner is thus the most successful coach in the history of the NCAA tournament.

Boom, logic boxed.

I feel like OJ could tell us the sky is blue, and because he is the one saying it, we would refute.

tw, you seem to be getting into it with everyone right now. perhaps you lost a case recently, and you would rather take your angst out on others, councilor?

When I am close to losing a case, I don't post much. Should say something about how often that happens.
