2014 NCAA Basketball Tournament (official thread)

[Jake]

Eh, those arguments appealing to last season are pretty meaningless. Case in point--the winner of tonight's game will have beaten a team tonight that didn't even make the tournament last year.

Eh, your posts are pretty meaningless. Chasing people around and disagreeing with everything they post is an old, stale act. Been there, done that.

As for the content of your brilliant reply, the two finalists from last year were also a 2 seed and a 4 seed this year, and the 4 seed was a popular pick to win this tournament. It's not just about what they did last year. So your attempted counter point about tonight's teams not being in the tournament last year is irrelevant.

Otherwise, you presented an excellent argument.

...says the guy who has no response to someone who just shot a hole in his dumb argument. Message boards are about presenting counterpoints to arguments. Welcome to the show.

Michigan lost the heart and soul of its team--a guy that was responsible (catch the Kansas game last year?) for their run and who was drafted 9th overall. And that's to say nothing of the loss of McGary. If you thought Michigan was making a serious run in this year's tournament, then you must've missed this year's BTT championship game.

Louisville similarly lost a first rounder as well as a second rounder who was the heart of last year's title team.

And, as said before, both Kentucky and UConn weren't even tournament teams and yet here they are playing for the title tonight.

So, yeah, appealing to last year's teams is a fool's argument.

This may be far more entertaining than the game...

 

[Mike80]

Hmmm...

[buckeyebri]

[AuTX Buckeye]

Lol.... Uconn getting called for a foul every time down the floor..Kentucky could kneecap a guy with no call

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

That was a foul on Randell he grabbed the guy and pulled him out of the way

 

[NorthCoastKid]

Could Nantz be anymore in the tank for Kentucky? God damn.

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

Huh, maybe you're right.

First title game I haven't watched in years. I think the year Maryland won is the last I passed on.
