Canes Center Reggie Johnson supposedly had minor surgery this week on his meniscus... Wonder how it will shake things up.

Apparently it shook things up a lot. They had next to no inside game tonight. Marquette won by ten despite the refs trying to keep Miami in it. The refs during this tournament really seem to hold true to "letting them play" Marquette players were getting hacked inside on almost every play and nothing was called. Their big man, Gardner, played great defense. Was able to move his feet well for a big guy. Another thing that made this game hard to watch was Bill Raftery. Guy is just annoying and does not know anything about basketball. He called a hard foul a good basketball move even though it still went in. I was like "Dude, you wouldn't know a good basketball move if it hit you upside the head." Ohio State's struggling against Arizona.

You see the Ohio State finish? Insane. Ross was amazing. That final shot was just wow. Not really an Ohio State fan cause Thad Motta just sounds like an evil name and he looks too much like Gene Hackman. But the players are great. I thought Craft made a mistake going for a steal with 3 minutes to go and picking up the foul. Watching Syracuse and Indiana. Unfortunately it's Raftery again. I wonder if John's at the game since it's in DC and it's Tom Creen, his brother in law. However, I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't since he and Ozzie are so busy with FA

My Dad's bracket is about done. He had Indiana losing to Louisville in the final. Why I don't do brackets. I think that Carter Williams will probably go to the NBA after this season or next. He's good. And Zeller's a joke. I'd honestly like to see Marquette win, but I think Boeheim's zone is just too good. My Dad saw him speak at a Nike Coaches convention and said he cussed quite a bit but thought it was funny. He's a good coach. I hope my Dad's right about Louisville winning the whole thing. I really like Pitino. Looks like such a gangster lol. If not him, I'd like Donovan's Gators to win it all because he was coached by Pitino and he coaches his guys to run the floor.

[/quote]Zeller is incredibily talented and is a phenomenal shooter for a big man. Although he is significantly overhyped he does have a bright future and calling him a joke is a bit ridiculous.

Hard to say since Tyler was out a lot during the year they (UNC) won the championship. Henson wasn't the best compliment (although he was amazing) to Zeller. I think if Tyler hasn't broken his hand that season, UNC would've cruised. And Cody needs to hit the weight room or something. Looks like a wire, but he can run the floor well. Anyways, I will say this: Syracuse was able to hit everything and Indiana hardly got anything. I think the zone had something to do with it, but I also think Indiana was just off. And I think Barkley was right about Hulls being mismatched against Triche. He's taller than Hulls and when he's on he's on. That guy's an incredible shooter. I think Carter-Williams would benefit by staying at least another year, but sometimes the money is too much. And if it turns out to be Syracuse against Louisville, I think Syracuse will win. I'd really like to see Pitino get one more, but I'm not sure about Siva sometimes. And I dunno if Djeng could handle the big guy for Syracuse. That guy was blocking almost everything that went up in the paint last night.

Why would a South Dakotan root for Syracuse, of all teams?

Great game.

[ghost1986]

Just goes to show: Gotta be able to hit your free throws. Easiest shot to make. Nobody defending you and no time running out. If Johnson made that free throw in regulation it was over. Funny thing is there's a good chance of McElmore going to the NBA and I think Withey's a senior. And the Louisville game proved what I've been saying: Siva is not a tier-one point guard. He's a terrible passer. Turned it over twice towards the end trying to pass it with one hand. Good thing they have Russ Smith and Ware.
