March Madness Thread

A lot of posters may not have been around to remember it, but Carl Tacy pulled a similar move in the last 25 seconds with a tie game against DePaul in 1984....but he had Rudd foul a poor free throw shooter, not an 86% one, and the game was tied at the time. The strategy was that Tacy wanted us to control our own destiny rather than let DePaul hold the ball for a last second shot to beat us. It was a 1 & 1, so even if he made both free throws we still had about 15 seconds to tie the game (no 3-point shot then). If he only made 1 or missed the front end, we could win with the last shot....which is what happened. The DePaul guy missed the free throw, Kenny Green got the rebound and Danny Young sneaked in for the last second layup to retire Meyer.
Kind of like when Syracuse fouled CMM last year while leading.
 
Guys help me out here. A few years back (has to be 7 or less), there was a one shining moment play from an early round upset, where there maybe were to teammates that were brothers, and the one dude gets the rebound and without even looking heaves the ball over his head full court and hits the other dude in perfect stride for the dunk. Pure blind pass and one of the best bball plays I have ever seen. I can't find it anywhere on youtube.

Plaz halp.

UAB over Kentucky in 2004 (sweet 16 game). One of the most fun NCAA tournament games I ever watched.

VCU blows. Should've been in the First 4.
 
Trimble was so much better as a freshman. He's killing MD.
 
Watching Maryland and Vandy lose today helped ease my pain from our matador show on Tuesday.
 
Surely I can't be the only casual viewer surprised that a Purdue player named Caleb swanigan is black?
 
The Big 10 has the potential to have a really shitty day 1.

I dig the chicken bone in the left hand, but what is that on the right? Biscuit?
