whitesoxfan101 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Not sure how it got to this, but the color guy on the UCLA/Cal game just said "Dick......so hard knocked the camera out". That is the leader in the clubhouse for best unintended humor moment of March so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 North Carolina actually scared me A LOT today even in defeat. A DAMN GOOD Boston College team shot 61 percent for the game, hit half of their 16 three point attempts, played solid defense, dominated the glass.....and won by 3.

Rowand44 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 UCLA just got angry I guess and is blowing out cal again. Great game on espn between Xavier and St Joes for the a10 championship and the 2nd berth from that conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 St. Joes ball down 1 with 25.3 left. Good s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Supposedly St. Joe's is going to get one more shot, but Xavier looks to have this locked up with the late 2 at the free throw line. They put up 1.3 back on the clock, and Xavier blocks the shot to win the A10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Great regular season for UNC, regardless of the loss and the many chances they had to pull the game out. 22-7, amazing. Now I'm just hoping for a 3 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two more auto's go out tonight in the Wac where Nevada is leading Utah State by 3 with 7 and a half left; also the mountain west title game between san diego state and wyoming is just under way.

ZoomSlowik Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 11, 2006 -> 06:34 PM) You know whose really playing great right now..UCLA. I realize they are beating up on the down pac 10 conference but they are playing strong defensively and the team has grown a lot and responded well to all the injuries. Plus Ben Howland is a very good head coach. The only thing is they'll need to get Bozeman back healthy. I'm putting them down as an elite 8 team. I am not a fan of UCLA at all. Not only are they in a s***ty conference, they lost to Washington twice, and the best team they beat in non-conference play is probably a toss-up between Nevada and Michigan. They rely very heavily on Afflalo and Farmar, and if one of them has a bad game they are probably done. Mbah A Moute is passable but far from stellar, and Bozeman is really only useful as a defender. Honestly, their offensive options are weaker than Illinois', and their defense isn't as solid. They'll get out of the first round, but I'd guess they'll go down to the 6 seed they'll probably play in the second round. They should be a beast next year though, with another year of experience and Shipp coming back from injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There adjusted defensive efficiency is 8th in the country. Shockingly Iowa is 2nd in the country . Kansas is #1. Thats from some stat website I was looking at. So I'm going to totally disagree with where you knock UCLA's defense. They will be in the elite 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking last year was when Iowa's AD was one of the higher ups and he had to leave when discussions came up in regards to his team (maybe it was the year before that though)???
