The 12-hour basketball streamin' and threadin' binges of last week are now crammed into a five hour slot. I hope you guys can survive.
GO AZTECS!!!!
BYU in New Orleans? Either it's an honor code violation or a glorious waste of New Orleans.
Is this the point where Duke fans actually start getting excited about the season? Duke is in the Sweet 16 almost every year. I'm still enjoying our NIT semifinals run.....
/Deep sigh
Matt Howard just won't die. Ever.

Hard to get up for this thread.
I’m still spent from last night.

CougCenter: Streamin' and Threadin'
I could have been at the Honda Center in a suite
but unfortunately I got work to do. Stupid early start. Our company has a suite there. Half our management team is entertaining clients. Man this sucks.

Lame!
You could have been there to root for my Aztecs!

Do they yell Craig when you walk in? Sounds like you are becoming a regular.

Palouse Falls knows me by name
I think this is a good thing.

Not so sure about that shot from Leonard.
Gay had the lane open and a guy on the floor. Could have got a better shot.

BYU needs a new play.
As much as I love Fredette’s shooting touch, they need something other than dribble dribble shoot a three.
Some commenter on a Jon Wilner column tried to say the Mtn West was better than the Pac-12
This person is an idiot.

Reggie Miller sucks at announcing
Why is he allowed to work a regional final?
Writer: CougCenter Twitterer: @GradyClapp
Because he once scored 8 points in 10 seconds.

That's at the top of his resume
Reggie Miller—-

Very anti-climactic OT.
That BYU kid that missed the free throw is going to have nightmares for awhile.

I vote that Derrick Williams goes pro
And D’Angelo and Klay stay. And IT goes to Disneyland to work in the Minney Mouse costume. Can we make these things happen?
Anyone listen the Kevin Calabro show today?
he described some shaggy red head kid from Wisconsin as “a human floor burn” to Marques Johnson. So awesome.
Alright then.
Wife is at women’s Bible study and I just put the boy to bed…I am ready to shread this thread!

This thread needs some shredding
We are lacking energy tonight. Want to see UA make the Pac look good, and I would love to see Butler get back to the doorstep of the Final Four.
I have to admit...I am pretty tired.
Looks like everyone else is too.

I hadn't been training for March Madness and the NIT at the same time.
Just March Madness. NIT threw me way off. I am not in shape for this.

I wan't Arizona to win because it means $120,000 for WSU.

Then we can buy Casto some blinds, Klay a headlight and Reg a lock for his door.

You know, looking at the name UA
I realize why the Cougs have failed against them recently.
Northwestern Mutual
Most unnecessarily uplifting music ever in an insurance commercial? I say yes.

Is Singler a senior?
Jeez I hope I never have to hear his name again after this tourney.
Well his brother isn't going anywhere
And since he’s at Oregon we’ll hear the Singler name quite a bit
How many McDonald's All-Americans does Duke have?
7-8 deep? Probably more huh?
CougCenter member since 9/2/08
Since 2006. Sheesh.
2006 Gerald Henderson
2006 Jon Scheyer
2006 Lance Thomas
2007 Taylor King
2007 Kyle Singler
2007 Nolan Smith
2008 Elliot Williams
2009 Mason Plumlee
2009 Ryan Kelly
2010 Kyrie Irving

Man, I just finished counting the ones on their roster now and was about to post
So I counted 5 currently on the roster. But good work on the whole list.
Crap. Did you realize there is 3 Plumlee brothers.
The 3rd one is going to Duke next year. His a 7 footer. Dang.
CougCenter member since 9/2/08
I can't imagine what is to be like Duke.
I looked at their last 6 years of recruiting and they average 3-4 commits a year. Their lowest ranked recruit during that time was 30th in the nation. 90% of the the recruits were ranked 10 in the nation or higher. Just Amazing. Bone would go to the final four every year with that.
CougCenter member since 9/2/08
It begs the question
Is Duke getting all the high rated players, or are all the players rated high because they’re going to Duke?
Writer: CougCenter Twitterer: @GradyClapp
I want to say "no way will Arizona keep hitting three like this."
But I feel like that happens all the time.
Not having the comma changes the meaning.
No, thank you

Arizona has THAT
How high are the Husky fans that think they should have won the conference this year?
Writer: CougCenter Twitterer: @GradyClapp
At the beginning of the year
Not high at all. No one knew how good he was going to be this year.
But after watching this if they still think they were better, higher than the Cougar starting 5 in Amsterdam.

Don't expect to win the Pac-12 anytime soon
Sean Miller is going to have this conference down on lock.
Writer: CougCenter Twitterer: @GradyClapp
This is where the Duke advantage sets in.
Four consecutive fouls against Arizona, plus a couple of non-calls the other way. And yeah, call me a conspiracy nut, but I’ve seen it too many times.
If Arizona beats Duke worse than they beat us,
That means we’re better than Duke, right?
SCIENCE.

Wow, I just flipped over for the first time in a while and Wisconsin has 27 points at the under 12 media timeout.

Sweep
I am hoping the Pac Ten wins all three men’s tournaments.
Coach K pouts too much

The numbers are just staggering at this point.
Williams 33 and 13. Arizona outscoring Duke 52 to 30 in the half. Anybody see this coming?
20 bucks says CBS throws a shot of Singler diving for a loose ball
in the one shining moment montage.
It's over now.
That was short lived.

Did Reggie just say Sheldon da Mack
He’s ruining Gus time
Clearly he is not cool enough
To be invited to those kinds of parties
On a completely different note
Ralph Nader is still a little crazy
If only Wisconsin was hitting all of these late threes.
Gus is trying so hard to make this happen.

Will Ferrel is replacing Steve Carrell on the Office?
Why was I not informed?
Bizarre fact of the night:
This is now the fifth consecutive season in which Wisconsin has been eliminated from the NCAA tournament by a non-BCS team in either the round of 32 or the round of 16.
"We don't want our people to be preoccupied with seminude, crazy men jumping up and down who are chasing an inflated object," said Sheik Mohamed Osman Arus, head of operations for the Hizbul Islam insurgent group.
