Re: Gupshup March Madness Tournament Challenge
Some of the best games I've ever seen. 3 overtime games, wow.
And 3 out of 4 teams I picked made it to the final 4.
Re: Gupshup March Madness Tournament Challenge
I agree…I have never felt this satisfied after losing like $7k in the past weekend. I love you UTD. 
Go Mich ST…
Kentucky hasn't been to a final four since 98 -- Every other elite basketball program (North Carolina, Duke, Michigan St., Kansas, etc.) has been to at least one, if not two or three since that time - what a sad day for Kentucky fans.
utd - even though my bracket is screwed and top of my four teams made it to final four, but the team I picked to win it all - is gonna win it all baby! :D
Illini Pride! :Salute:
Re: Gupshup March Madness Tournament Challenge
Coaching extraordinaire Rick Pitno has 6 days to dissect and figure out Illinois, you want to bet against him?
Louisville and UNC in the final, but I’d like to see Michigan St. go rather than UNC.
Re: Gupshup March Madness Tournament Challenge
Great show put on the Illini. hope they go on to win it all.
Re: Gupshup March Madness Tournament Challenge
and not so surprinsgly, illinios goes on to an easy win.
Re: Gupshup March Madness Tournament Challenge
Looking like only The Ohio State Buckeyes can beat Illinois.
Re: Gupshup March Madness Tournament Challenge
...and The North Carolina Tar Heels ;)
Re: Gupshup March Madness Tournament Challenge
Both games were a big disappointment to me though. I expected a more exciting illinois vs louisville game but illinois just brushed them aside. Lets hope the championship game on monday is a good one.
Re: Gupshup March Madness Tournament Challenge
Go Illini... I want Roy Williams to suffer for another decade or two
Woot woot!
The much anticipated game everyone wanted to takes place. This title game is awfully similar to the 1999 title game between UConn and Duke:
Both featured the top 3 teams in the nation.
One team was (although Duke much more than UNC) considered the consensus favorite to win it all before the tournament started.
One team is well balanced with stars (and future NBA draft picks) at multiple positions, not to mention a freshman coming off the bench who might have the most potential of them all.
The other team has a sensational 3 man backcourt.
I'm with Illini as I have been on the bangwagon all year long. Plus, I win 300 bucks if they win. But if they lose, oh crap!!!!!
But given that choke history of Roy Williams, I'll take the chance of losing 150 bucks on bet. :D
Re: Gupshup March Madness Tournament Challenge
The only team that gave the Illini a run for the money has been Arizona Wildcats!
Re: Gupshup March Madness Tournament Challenge

OSU beat them and now UNC has as well.
I hate losing money. I hate UNC. I hate everything right now.
I hate refs too. Augustine got called for 5 touch fouls. They reffed him right out of the game. Augustine didn’t even get a chance to play. A couple of his fouls were suspect while a few times, Powell couldn’t get a whistle. That was a big difference, because May plowed over Powell twice, but no calls and Augustine’s getting little cheap fouls. Just was upsetting.
Did you guys hear that Cheesiest line ever…?
Madness started in March, ended in April… and it belongs to May. 
Re: Gupshup March Madness Tournament Challenge
OSU beat them during the season not in the tourney.
Talha you jump on the bandwagon pretty fast yaar. Illini had not answer for Sean May (26 pts). PERIOD. They got back into the game from the 15 pt deficit with 3-pt and jump shots but couldnt make the big play down the stretch. Illinois missed five in the final two minutes and 10 of their last 11. (Check the stats). Thats the difference in the game not the uncalled fouls and refereeing.
Re: Gupshup March Madness Tournament Challenge
UCONN Huskies are favorite again to win it all next year
watch out for Rudy Gay
Re: Gupshup March Madness Tournament Challenge
ncaa champs from 99, 2004 and 2006 :)
Re: Gupshup March Madness Tournament Challenge
they lose charlie villeneuva and denham brown though. I don't think rudy GAY can improve so much in a year that he can make up for both these losses.
