I am dumbfounded by Virginia game. I have watched them all year and they were terrific. Bennett deserves to be ripped big time over this. It is like they simply just did not respect their opponent at all to come out like this. I have been a huge Bennett fan, but I lost a bunch of respect for him from this piss poor effort

--As a 1 seed, lost to a 10
--As a 1 seed, lost to a 16
Every time they showed him on camera, seems like he did have a smirk on his face.Quote:

This is on Martin. Mizzou is better without porter... well a semi-healthy porter that is out of shapeQuote:

The tournament is playing out like most logical persons would?ve initially believed after selection Sunday. The field was selected with bias and as they say ?the ball don?t lie?.
We were good enough to win most of those 1st round games that the other P5 Teams lost. OK is one. Put us in that spot and we have as equal a chance to win as OK, especially if you look at each team and the play the last 6 weeks of the season.
I think Bama is gonna win this game.
I take that back... They’re getting crushed lol!Quote:

Auburn will probably get busted after their season is over, at least I hope.
Mullen would have a similar look when he lost a supposedly easy game, and caught a lot of grief over it on the boards. Whether it ever got to him, I have no idea. Personally, I thought it was just a look of amazed resignation. At least Bennett wasn't wearing shorts.Quote:
