March Madness!
 

Hahaha, I haven't even posted how I am doing, which is better than you, but not great.

Do the good people of Kentucky know you are betting against them in the final game?


:)

Perhaps someone needs to let them know. :evilook:

I'm sure my luck will run out soon.

i didn't do a mens bracket. but i did a womens, and i didn't do well. i won't say how bad i did, ... i'll just leave that to the whatevers.

men, kentucky vs kansas tonight. i'm going with kentucky. i have to. i am a sec fan.

women, baylor vs notre dame tuesday night. if i liked notre dame, i'd sure go with them, ... but i don't, so i can't. so baylor it is. the coach for baylor, kim mulkey, is suffering from bells palsy. mulkey just found out she has this disease about a week ago. i hope she gets to enjoy the night, win or lose. the medications and adjusting to the disease, ... i'm sure she's not quite herself. the refs have really taken over, fouls all over the place and not calling. or calling little rinky dink fouls. they don't seem to have a balance. good luck to the players, hope no one gets hurt.

go lady vols! lol

I don't follow the men at all.....college or pro....I support women's sports only. More women need to support women athletics. The men's basketball game is boring......run up and down the court dunking the ball........blech

So Baylor can make history tomorrow night.....no men or women team has ever gone 40-0 to win the national championship. Baylor is 39-0 right now.....so GO BEARS..............make history several ways!!! Griner is awesome and has grown huge amounts since she was a freshman and we get her one more year!!!

Kim's bell's palsy is not that bad.....she said she is on steroids and antivirals for a short period of time...........she said it's aggravating and that's about all...

ESPN has launched a website for only women's sports. It's awesome and covers ALL women's sports.

edited to add: I thought the refs were consistent and they let them play....I've seen far worse and particularly favorable to UCONN but that did not happen....

I have watched the entire Women's NCAA tournament, I don't follow the Men's. I just moved to Tennessee recently, but I am already a rabid Lady Vols fan- there is such a great tradition here with Pat Summit and all the great players who have played here. Knoxville is also nuts about the Lady Vols and the support here is awesome. They lost in the final 8.

My team growing up was Stanford. They lost to Baylor. Neither Notre Dame or Baylor is my team. I will probably root for Notre Dame just because they are the underdog, but Baylor really is an awesome team and none of their starters are seniors.

i really felt like stanford could pull the upset. and they could have. just not against baylor lol. stanford did a great job. open shots missed, ... nervous, or not quite set, ... i don't know. but they never made a run, never pulled away to allow adjustments. the reason for that was baylors defense. stanford did fine on defense, but baylor did better.

notre dame is a shooting team, offense! we see all these teams that baylor has beat, and say, "if they could have just made their open shots!" there's a reason for that, baylor defense, ... and intimidation. notre dame may score a little better than stanford, but they won't play the defense stanford did. so the score goes up on the baylor side also. notre dame will have to stay out of foul trouble, i'm not so sure they can. i think the key to beating baylor is backdoor cuts and 3 pointers. but in order to do that, notre dame has to overcome baylors defense. so it's like the old saying goes, defense wins championships. if baylor holds up their defense, it's a blow out.

bulldog, good to see another lady vol fan. i am a diehard summitt fan. i only got to go to knoxville once this season. i wish for a lot more.

Baylor did not play well against Stanford. Stanford should be glad Baylor had a bad day or Baylor would have beat them by 20-30 points. But I am not a Stanford fan and think Tara Van Dever (and her entire staff) should be fired. She cannot produce a national champion with teams that should have been national champions. In the pre-game interviews both Tara and her players had no enthusiasm and they did not seem to want to win and it showed with their play on the court.

Tonite will be interesting. ND is quick but with Griner taking up the paint it will be tough for them to win. If you have never seen Griner play in person, you really don't understand how big and intimidating she is. I have seen her play (in person) in 6-7 games starting back when she was a freshman. She has grown so much in her game........... she is amazing to watch. The other thing about Baylor is they have a team. Griner is not the only star on that team and she has become an excellent passer and free throw shooter. I'm also glad she has said she will stay at Baylor for her senior year and get her college degree.....smart young woman.

I agree Baylor was not playing to their full talent capacity as we have seen them play this year when they played Stanford. But, Stanford had a good defense and certainly tried to handle Griner pulling her out of the paint often.

Tonight, i'm rooting for Baylor, sorry Bully. Since the orange and white isn't around, of course. Baylor's team is not just Griner, i agree totally. That Sims is something else and if she is on "game" tonight, it will be a great. They haven't lost a game this year, they deserve the title.

Will be interesting to see what ND has in store for strategic defense. But, i believe Baylor will come out with the trophy.

That's my thoughts...

Over and Out.

Hush it!!! I'm talking game here. Geeze.

my irish :(
 

It's no secret I'm a die hard notre dame fan through and through however they are not going to be able to beat baylor at all. I find it hard to believe Brittany only averages 5 rebounds a game . Heck she has 5 in the first half already . I'm proud the Irish boys and girls came this far though . If Irish girls don't start sinking their 3s they don't have a hail Mary left .. :( go Irish and Congrats for second place .

Congrats to the Baylor Bears. They played a great game with Griner and Sims leading the way.
