Round of 32 Open Thread, Redux

Fred Hoiberg’s bunch giving the Buckeyes all they can handle. Here’s to more competitive basketball (though Marquette/Butler was epic), and two blue losses today.

    I’ve never heard Lenny Elmore this positive about anything! Eagle fever indeed. Their bookstore better be ready for a deluge of swag orders.

    Congrats to Steve Fisher’s kids for being much better sportsmen than the Hoyas.

    That was awesome. Impossible not to like these kids.

    I’m also very impressed by Jamaal Franklin. I think he tries to play hero ball at times, but he’s a great competitor. I thought it was great to see him encouraging Brown to keep going at the end of the game.

    The credit union is playing with house money. Watch out Gators. Boy was that fun. They are good, very good.

    Agreed on all counts.

    Andy Kennedy looks like an asshole. Which is funny, because…he is an asshole.

    Moved over to Miami and Illinois. Big Reggie looks like he has been hitting the hotel buffet pretty hard.

    .. watching the FGCU post game locker room….

    … if that doesn’t make you smile…. you need some help…

    THAT is what THIS is all about…

    …. even if they flop like a pancake with too much egg next game.

    Kids just have to have some fun….

    Bullock, Hairston and McAdoo all had no answer when asked about future plans… All 3 said no timetable for NBA decision

    Truer words have never been spoken.

    Due to complete laziness, I just suffered through one of Seth Davis’ hypocritical speeches. He just praised Andy for the Bank’s unscripted/loose style of play. “Frankly, I wish more coaches would teach this…” Hasn’t he criticized Gott and State for the exact same thing?

    Gang – this game is an ‘international altercation’ to Andy K.

    Andy Kennedy and the State of Mississippi. They deserve one another.

    And I will bet anything that Marshall Henderson’s summer job is selling meth. Or cooking meth. Something with meth.

    Fun play from earlier – Kadji jumping over a guy on a fast break. At the last second, the I’ll defender ducks his head and raises his hand, grabbing Kadji’s nuts in the process.

    Hey, he missed the first free throw.

    Gminski says Larkin “can go either way.” Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

  16. wufpup76 03/24/2013 at 9:42 PM #

    Hey oh

  17. redcanine 03/24/2013 at 9:44 PM #

    Meth, meth, meth. I agree.

    Was it the “I’m high as hell” eyes or the douchebag trailer-park Slim Shady DJ WhiteBoyUps beard?

    I’m crazy, yo.

    That made me laugh.

    All those things in tandem with the shaved head. If you’re a muscular black guy, you can pull that off. But not really for skinny white dudes.

    Wish I could post pics in the comments thread, but Jess Pinkman came to my mind…

    I bet MH says “yo” as many times in a minute as Pinkman does.

    That official is a true American hero.

    Duke’s gonna win, so I’m not gonna watch. Blech.

    Dylan McDermott or Dermott Mulroney?

    Any SNL fans here?

    One good thing came out of this tournament. I learned what channel TruTV is on my cable.

    OK, one thing came out of it…good is probably a huge overstatement.
