Cougs had 2nd and 3rd 1 out in the top of the 9th and didn’t score. Tied up going to the bottom

speaking of nba style
they’re using the nba camera placements. i like it.
I don't ever watch the NBA
it’s cool, reminds me of the over the field camera in football
by Couginthepink on Apr 3, 2010 3:41 PM PDT up reply actions
yep
and the regular camera is lower to the ground. players look bigger.
Haywood is totally "Hoosiers"
Green for MSU is a flat out stud
Don't let cougfan hear you
I think he’s got a chip on his shoulder about people comparing Butler to the Hoosiers

Just out of curiosity
Did anybody see the Daily Show with the guy in Georgia starting an all-white basketball league?
I was so uncomfortable but laughing so hard
I like that he admits that white people need their own league because they are decidedly lame
by Couginthepink on Apr 3, 2010 3:53 PM PDT up reply actions
At least they know where they're sitting

Why do you hate festival seating?
It’s like Duck-Duck-Goose getting on a Southwest flight.

Forget the BCS.
He needs to put his foot down on this 96 team tournament mularkey.

I actually am interested in listening to the President talk about his interest in college basketball.
I don’t need an uncomfortable, lame, forced horse game to be the setting.
No, he doesn't!
He’s goosenecking like crazy. He needs to lock out that elbow.
Nice touch, though.

Excellent
Blowing Thursdays game was terrible

OT, but I've decided to re-read every article in the history of Fire Joe Morgan.
One of the better decisions of my life.
COUGS WIN!!!!

wooooooooo
Let’s play again, shall we?

Ugh, that's horrifying.
I’d never noticed that before.
by Coug Friendly Canuck on Apr 3, 2010 4:53 PM PDT up reply actions
That alley oop was freakily athletic
Summers hung in the air forever.
I don't mean to alarm anyone
but I don’t think Butler’s had five passes on any possession in this game
The 1954 Milan Miracle team was actually really athletic.
Their state title game was on one of the several special edition DVD’s of Hoosiers I’ve owned and Plump and the other guard took guys to the rim off the bounce all game long.

Love the Butler student/fan section
They are living the dream right now
Butler is in MSU's head
And I would not have predicted that. Even with a calm and collected coach, I didn’t think the Indiana boys would stay calm and collected in the final four against an Izzo coached team.
Dear Miller Lite
Some men like women more than your crappy beer
There are a lot of things I like more than Miller Light.
Stopping at women is like making a list of things better than castration that looks like this:
“1. Double Down Chicken Sandwiches”
Butler's coach is 33?
I gotta get my life on track!
Its not looking like my dream of Izzo v. K is gonna happen
2 gnomes enter the court. There can be only one!
That had to be expected
I would have thought Duke and WVU fans would have entered the stadium cheering for Butler. Home team, the mid major Cinderella, and the Hoosiers thing that isn’t really true.
fantastic
my wife is now online trying to buy a bulldog after that shot.
i’m sending the bill to you, KIRO!!!!

Interesting fact.
Their hindlegs can’t bear their own weight so they can’t reproduce naturally (Frenchies).

Brad Stevens is aging rapidly
Looks like he finally hit 16

I like Jim Nantz emphatically shouting that the game is tied.
A free throw doesn’t tie a two-point game.
Jim Nantz should stick to the Masters
everyone knows we want Gus

GREAT D
Great no call. Pac 10 refs would have blown that.
Kentucky-Mississippi State
I wouldn’t do it. Lost way too many games on FT line offensive rebounds over the years.

He didn't want a TO
Or that’s what they are saying. And he thought the clock started early, which it didn’t
I just peed a little bit in excitment
by Brian Floyd on Apr 3, 2010 5:30 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
Coaching, team work, and hard work =
Championship game
true, but
MSU had better athletes and overall players. Go Butler!
Locker room is giving me goose bumps
Come on Cougs, this could be you in two years.
EXCUSES are like a-holes,
everyone has one, and they all stink
I like this new statistic: Shotmaking
Pretty important
Its an important part of the game
there’s no denying that

I'm switching to the Sounders
But that’s because I’ll be at Qwest in about 15 minutes

Exxon's marketing guy is brilliant
I keep forgetting how evil they are
Cougar Baseball Beats Huskies in Extra Innings
Shea Vucinich’s sacrifice fly in top of the 12th inning lifted Washington State to a 6-5 win over Washington in game one of a Pacific-10 Conference doubleheader, Saturday at Husky Ballpark.
GO COUGS!
Ichiro and Jr. commercial
Great commercial, my favorite this season and maybe all time
ditto hockey
but I don’t even get FSC, I bought that sports package for like $8 because a cougar football game was on there, then I didn’t watch it for months, and canceled it.
by spencer peaty on Apr 3, 2010 7:24 PM PDT up reply actions
i didn't know fsc was part of the sports pack
glad i didn’t cancel it yet.
Supposedly FSC HD is coming soon
And we know that Fox sports always is quick to add HD.
Hello everyone
Kenpom tweeted that Duke’s win probability at halftime was a shade over 80 percent. Thought you might be curious.
He explains his calculations here. http://kenpom.com/blog/index.php/weblog/in-game_win_probabilities/
Qwest filled in nicely
Except the Husky in front of me keeps spilling my Duck friends beer. I’m in a predicament
by Brian Floyd on Apr 3, 2010 7:35 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
Can you dump the Duck's beer on the husky's head?
by Couginthepink on Apr 3, 2010 7:37 PM PDT up reply actions
I feel like there needs to be a beaver to complete the equation

And a very very very sad Zag fan?

Ive got an Eastern alum and an Englishman
That’s gotta count for something
by Brian Floyd on Apr 3, 2010 7:54 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
Sooooooooo. . .
A team that ranked 162nd in eFG% now has to come back from 14 points down with just under 12 to go against one of the best defenses in the country.
Good luck with that.
Go Cougs?
We get the tying run on 2nd with no outs and fail to bring him in….and we get the bottom of the order in the 9th. Whee!
I really did not know Duke was this good.
There defense is really good. I still hate them
I'm torn for the final
Duke is my champion, but Butler would be awesome to see.
by spencer peaty on Apr 3, 2010 7:51 PM PDT up reply actions
Tough end to Butler's career.
Hate to see a kid go out like that.
ballgame
bad guys get another one from our errors.
They need to regroup
2 games at BYU and then 3 at home vs #1 ASU.
True, but ...
They definitely looked like they weren’t elite during the nonconference portion of their schedule. Also, I believe they were rated in the 20s by Kenpom before this tournament started. Maybe everyone was right early on about how good this team could be, but let’s not revise history.
No, it's not.
But Hoosiers wasn’t even Hoosiers. That team destroyed all its competition back in ’54. They were more or less like this Butler team – an underdog in perception only.
Sure, but hes the devil
Craig told me so
by Brian Floyd on Apr 3, 2010 8:26 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
haha
but seriously, can someone explain to me the Duke hating? I’m young and naive.
by spencer peaty on Apr 3, 2010 8:37 PM PDT up reply actions
weird, I just don't see it
I’m sure it’s there but I guess I was 11 the last time they won it all.
by spencer peaty on Apr 3, 2010 8:43 PM PDT up reply actions
I blame the refs for the sounders first half
Just fyi
by Grady Clapp on Apr 3, 2010 8:33 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
Im with you
Though our plays been terrible
by Brian Floyd on Apr 3, 2010 8:44 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
So that wins me most of my pools.
I believe in all but Beyond the Boxscore’s (which had a weird scoring system), I have at least a shot at second place. There’s only one left that I haven’t won but still can win.
Basically, pools where other people picked Duke I can’t win, save for one example where the only other guy to pick Duke sucked otherwise.
looks like the best you can do is 3rd for the cougcenter challenge
only 5 of us picked Duke
by spencer peaty on Apr 3, 2010 8:41 PM PDT up reply actions
It should be no surprise that the only pool I'm in where I'm struggling a bunch and multiple people picked Duke. . .
. . . is Coug Center. The college basketball knowledge here compared to most places I go on the internet is night and day.
You're right, it's 3rd.
For a while, the top two have been Scottie’s two brackets, so I just assumed without checking that was still the case.
