man
is it saturday yet???

but i just dont think SJU has an answer for OSU, specifically Joey Graham or Ivan McFarlin. one of them will have a double double. SJU doesnt get many points in the paint.
Martelli said they play similar styles?
nope. i dont think they are even close in that regard.
either way, it should be a good one.

Now I gotta sulk in Excelsior's corner :|

Talk is cheap, but the realization that the ACC is OVERRATED is rich!

I actually only predicted the Hawks would make it to the Elite 8, but I'll be rooting for them no doubt. If they can hit 3's with regularity like they normally do, then they will beat OSU. If OSU can take away the perimeter like Sato and Chalmer of Xavier did when they beat the Hawks, then St. Joes will be in for a rough day... It all depends on how well each team defends the other, and I think OSU has the edge b/c of better big men. But that's why they play em

I stand by my comments that you seem to be a fair weather fan.

It doesn't matter. If St. Joes had lost and Pitt had won he'd be cheering for Pitt. He just picks team that are in it late that he can some how tie to himself. I mean his teams are great. They NEVER lose.

Yes, I like ALL TEAMS! I'll admit it, u caught me!

I openly said that I thought Pitt was overrated... they have too young of a team, and played shtty their first two games. I also don't like Pitt personally, since I went to West Va University and the two schools are rivals (Google Backyard Brawl WVU Pitt for more info). I have many reasons for rooting for teams: a) I went to school there b) I'm originally from that area (Philly) and grew up watching the team on local TV c) I idolized a star when growing up and have been a diehard fan ever since (Roger Clemens, Red Sox) b/c I also played the sport in high school d) I picked them to win in my NCAA bracket or don't want the other team to win b/c someone else has them in their bracket.

BTW, Go Hawks! Die ACC teams, die!

Struck a nerve did I? Yes, you're right St. Joes does deserve to be number 1 since they're 30-1, thanks Captain Obvious.

Your idiocy knows no bounds. Where exactly did I say that St Joes DIDNT deserve a #1 seed. That's right, NOWHERE. Would you not have expected St Joes to beat Wake since they were so deserving of the #1 seed? Ok then, I win, you lose.

Vegas had odds on Wake to win, are you really that dense? Of course I knew they deserve to be #1, I've been following them all year. Technically, it was an upset... seed wise, of course not, thanks Captain Obvious.

Wait..so I am the dense one, when you are the one who didnt even expect your own glorious St Joes team to win? If you did, then why would you listen to vegas odds that many times are completely wrong. Shoot yourself, please. Do all of us a favor.

And please, learn something new, Captain Obvious is getting old.

I picked them to beat Wake Forest and OK State and get to the Final Four. If you want proof I can show u my yahoo, ESPN, and CBS Sportsline Brackets. Or you could do a search for the ATOT VGTALK ESPN bracket (maybe you joined) which is giving away a $25 GC. Look for my name on there "WVUBCS04", I'm ranked in the top 5/about 60 people now.

 

[rival]

welp nevada is out, good run though, they played gtech hard, just werent making the shots the 2nd half

 

[BigPoppa]

GT pulled off that win without our top scorer. Defense baby.

St. Joes up by SIX AT THE HALF!

 

[SP33Demon]

Excelsior, u think St. Joes can win this one?

 

[Kev]

I think I'll brag about this while I still can... EAT MY DIRT ATOT!!

<--- Currently in the lead in the Yahoo pickem league. I should have gone with the heart and picked SJU to go to the final 4, and I'd be doing even better. Oh well.

 

[Kev]

I'm so sick of Bryant and Jones on SJU. They look like a couple of dumb uncoordinated monkies whenever the ball comes their way. Every single loose ball oppurtunity they have, they bobble it or hit it off their knees and into the other teams' hands. Quite possibly the 2 biggest pieces of garbage I've ever seen on a basketball court, especially when compared to the rest of the team. Saint Joe's should just go to a 5 guard game. The hell with these wastes of space.

 

[SP33Demon]

Cowboys up by 4... Jones and Bryant are in there for D on the other teams' big men, not O... if they could score, they would be like Omeka Okafor.

 

[Kev]

Wrong. Notice how the momentum turns when they go 4 guards? Bryant and Jones' defense flat out blows. THey can't be effective in any sense of the word. All they do is take up space.

 

[Kev]

Great defense by Bryant there

 

[SP33Demon]

OMG the crossover 3 for JAMEER! How sick was that????

Bryant has had two dunks since then, so he made up for it...

 

[SP33Demon]

ST. Joes up by 2 with under 4 to go!!!

Edit: 1:31 to go, Tie Game: St. Joes 2 timeouts left, 0 OK State.

Edit: Lucas hits clutch 3 ball with 15 seconds left... Ok State wins by one, oh man that was a great game... Congrats to the Hawks on a great season!
