He's taking that Irish loss on Thursday a little hard, eh?

Not really. I hear Digger is quite like this.

i thought he was over it a bit. when he first started he was blotto pretty regularly. these days, he's still a moron but at least you can understand what he's saying. as i've posted before, Stacey Dales has had some pretty unflattering things to say about Digger around Norman off the record. being drunk a lot on air isn't the worst of them.

Sin,

MGO

While it's true, MGO has little clue about sports, Washington has had the perfect match ups. Any other draw, and they are 1 and done. Marquette had zero inside game to salt the game away, and when your game plan is chucking it, your going to allow teams to come back, especially when they are about chucking it from outside. It's not like Washington has beat a Kansas, they beat an above average Marquette team and an overrated Mid major. How New Mexico was a #3 seed is beyond me, Alford pulled the wool over everyone's eyes, they weren't as good as their schedule and ranking said. They should of lost to Montana. Romar does have Huskies playing their best ball at the right time, and he has 3 quality guards, which, in the Tourney, guard play is the key to advancing to day 2.

Worst coaching of Tourney was Thompson at Georgetown. He made zero adjustments the whole game, they allowed OD to completely control the game. It's one thing to lose, but to keep running the same plays that didn't work in minute 2 of first half is another. OD came out in their basic Defense, Thompson never changed to their defensive set, arrogance? Probably

My heart warmed when Tejas went out, i called them a fraud when they were ranked in top5. Called them super frauds, and they proved yet again, i can call my frauds with the best of them.

Many Missouri Valley fans said KU better look out, NIU had an inside game and an outside game, very reminiscent of Bradley a few years ago. KU has a ton of athletic kids, but when they have to work from the half court consistently, they are vulnerable. Shocker, yes, but not a huge upset, NIU won their conference and tourney, and was 5-1 vs top50 i believe. They were a good MidMajor who got fucked by the seeding, they should of been a #5 seed at worst. NIU said hey ncaa and beakers

Georgetown didn't play "OD", you shit-huffing simpleton.

Rack. Same old Georgetown. You could just see them all going "Well, Ohio will get cold eventually and we'll get back in this." They play with no passion, fire or spark. Just another day at the beach for the Hoyas. I'm sick and fucking tired of Thompson's mid-mannered temperament. How you don't go bat-shit irate watching that pathetic performance Thursday is beyond me. The Hoyas are a reflection of their coach. Down by 10 in the first half to Ohio? Meh.

If I see one, I'll buy it for you, but I suspect you're more likely to find that t-shirt in KC than Iowa.

Lest I gloat too much over beaker travails, I'm reminded of 1990 when Northern freaking Iowa knocked a very good Mizzou team out in the 1st round. Not that I'll bring that up when twisting the dagger on certain smug squawkfans, which is to say, almost all of them.

This was so unexpected, not unlike when they lost to Bucknell in 2005, but 10x's more painful, or sweet, depending on your perspective. That Ali kid whose last name I can't spell, much less pronounce, is a legend now. Unreal for him to take that shot at that moment... and make it. Beakerfan will be cursing that name for ages.

All I know is that we won't be seeing much KU gear sported round these parts for awhile... all that is going on mothballs in the back of the closet.

Was Missouri ranked the #1 team in the land when that happened back in '90? Tiger fan still has smack rights, imo. I enjoyed the '90 game too, Wags, but not as much as last night. I happened to be with a few Mizzou fans during the game and I suspect they celebrated just as much as any UNI fan. You guys truly do hate those fucking Jayhawks. Has KU cancelled classes for Monday and declared it a day of mourning?

Oklahoma was #1 when the tournament started in 90. OU beat (blew out) consecutive #1's Kansas and Missouri in back to back games 2 days apart in late February and went on to blow out #2 KU again in the Big 8 tournament to claim the #1 spot. But, that was a great Mizzou team with Doug Smith and Anthony Peeler. Mizzou won the game in Columbia earlier in the year, 92-90, in a classic Norm-Billy Big 8 game. OU was upset in the 2nd round by North Carolina and Rick Fox. a game i watched in an interstate motel in Salina, Utah. still hurts.

War Wagon · Post by **War Wagon** » Sun Mar 21, 2010 5:03 pm

Mizzou had been ranked #1 at some in point in 1990 I believe, but I think they were a 2 seed in the tourney. That was a shocker, but not near what happened yesterday.

Kansas fan can be rightfully pissed that NIU was a 9 seed and having to play them in the 2nd round. They should have easily been a 5 or 6. How is it that the best basketball team in Iowa is from the MVC?

Didn't that team have Stacy King and Mookie Blaylock?

King Crimson · Post by **King Crimson** » Sun Mar 21, 2010 5:09 pm

Mizzou was #1 on 2/25/90. i know because i talked two of my college buddies (from LA and Atlanta) to road trip with me to Norman for the rematch with Mizzou. it was worth it: Sooners win 107-90. just fyi, in the first meeting in Columbia (92-90 MU, above), OU was ranked #11: MU #2.

no, King and Blaylock were SR's in 89. 90 was Skeeter Henry (who was the best player in the nation for about 3 weeks), Brent Price, Terry Evans, Jackie Jones, Terrance Mullins, Damon Patterson.

additionally, while it's par for the pod system era.....regional sites in OKC and STL were going to be pretty favorable to the Jayhawks no matter who they were going to play. OKC to Lawrence is about 2 1/2-3 hours in the car. Lawrence to STL, what, about 4? not to mention both OKC and STL have significant KU alum bases.

Good question, and I don't have an answer. Not the first time that a MVC team has been the best in Iowa...Drake a few years ago, University of Northern Iowa (UNI) this year. Iowa needs to hire a coach and then recruit some Big 10 talent players. Not sure what happened to Iowa State this year, as I don't follow them much. I know that Brackens didn't have the kind of year that they expected.

MSU up by 12. Knocking down those perimeter shots. Gary is calling timeouts left and right. Spartans are rolling.

Not looking good for Mizzou right now either.

epic finish to MSU-MD.

In other news, Mizzou could've easily beaten WVU today if they had taken advantage of just half of their opportunities...

Oh well, it was to be expected. But I'm still disappointed they couldn't have made it closer at the end. Looking forward to next year already. They have a lot coming back.

needed to hit the boards. they lose one off their hands that a MU hoop there makes it a one possession game. instead Huggy's guy ends up with a putback off a FT.....3 possession game. finito.

My wife's ham balls and cheesy potatoes hit the spot today too. Beats the hell out of junk food while watching the game. Nice sunny day here that is melting what's left of Saturday's snow and it appears that spring might finally be here.
