I wonder where our program would be if we had hired Altman in 2000 instead of Collier. He has done an amazing job turning Oregon around.

We'll never know on Altman...that ship has way sailed. I still like Oklahoma over Oregon if they play each other in the great 8.

That was the worst choke job I've seen by Northern Iowa last night vs A&M. Unexplainable bad...

Gotta also give props to some ACC teams I despise like 'Cuse, Duke, and Miami. They did their jobs in week 1 and are still playing. Can't belief that West Virginia crapped the bed (I do buy Texas, Baylor, and Texas Tech losing but thought West Virginia had to much depth & experience. Then they go turn it over 20+ times...).

I still like KU over Indiana in the final but both teams have a lot of work to do still...

West Virginia was surprising. They like to play that thuggins ball of high pressure constant hack defense, but they wilted when having to face the same kind of defense they use.

I'm not a Notre Dame fan, but that was quite a rally they just staged. I'm expecting Badger fans to do plenty of whining about the lack of calls in the closing minutes, but Wisconsin got away with enough **** in the first 39 minutes to more than offset the last couple of plays.

Wisconsin didn't handle the pressure at the end with terrible ball handling.

Hayes was fouled but should have not tried to split the defenders.

Have Oregon and Kansas in the final 4 but I had Sparty cutting down the nets.

Ok I checked myself. Always been a Tarheels basketball fan. Im taking UNC and Kansas in the championship and UNC besting KU for the NC and giving Roy Williams a win over his former team for the big one.

OU played lights out. Brooks can cry all he wants now after Thursday night.
Well after his team got its *** kicked, Brooks stuck around and shook all the OU players' hands instead of stomping off the court in a hissy fit.

What K did was wrong period. He shouldn't get some pass because he's a legend or whatever. The only time I have ever seen a player take a shot clock violation instead of shooting it in that situation was when Maryland won the national championship. I think it was Juan Dixon that did it and Gary Williams was like 'wtf, you gotta shoot that. don't just turn it over'
