They looked bad. I once thought they were a final four sleeper, but no more.

[MJFtheGenius]

I had Pitt today but like I said many times before no team in the Big East will play in the final four. Just nobody stands out.

[hoopster42]

ucla lost to cal in 07 pac ten tourney then made the final 4, this game means nothing, it sucks you lost and i'm having a crappy day too, but louisville's chances in the dance were not diminished by this one game

thats because they all have to play each other, louisville, g'town, marquette, are all as good as anyone

Too much public action on Louisville, line nearly doubled so no question, you had to take Pitt if you were on this game. I dont believe a big east team will make it to final four as well. Your telling me that GT(number one seed big east) could play against NC/Tennessee/Kansas/Memphis etc? Memphis spanked these guys bad. Granted it was at home, but still gotta be competitive. I Have ZERO big east teams in and ZERO pac 10(best conf my ass, their number 2 (stanford) would get smoked by Clemson IMO. ACC is the cream of the crop... as usual.

[MrFresh]

It killed my day.

[TPowell]

dude Louisville shot 4-19 from deep. If we shoot decent then we win this game easily

[ryanXL977]

i had lville and the over 131
i had liville and gsw
i had lville and gtown
i had lville and nd

lville is the most overrated team i have seen since duke
earl clark is good but padgett was awful today
just awful
they shot the 3 horribly
they cant be this bad

[LT Profits]

Not this year BOT. ACC is a two-team conference, and Clemson is only decent. Forget the rest.

I think the Big East is the best conference by a rather wide margin actually. And I do thinK that Georgetown and Louisville are legit Elite Eight teams, and with the right matchup, who knows?

[Tigers1230]

that overtime saved my over 71 for the 2nd half.

Na, it was just one bad game. Louisville was great down the stretch, and I wouldn't get too excited about this loss. Maybe the extra rest will help them.

[ryanXL977]

pac10 is better than bigeast imo
lville is not a top 8 team
gtown is
nova isnt, uconn isnt, pitt isnt, nd isnt

though nd is gooood. mcalarny is a badass
lville is overrated
watched this vs gtown, vs pitt . they are solid
but not top 8

we will see

pac10

[CrazyLou]

Pushed on Lville 1st half. Very lucky push, they were struggling.

[ryanXL977]

i hope you are right ltprofits
i may bet lville more
but lost my big east tourney bet on them and in their first game

[TPowell]

why are we overrated? Because we had an off night shooting the basketball and Pitt was hot?

[ryanXL977]

look, i dont like or dislike any ncaa teams. i went d3. so i dont care. lville isnt in unc or ucla's LEAGUE. they are not in memphis league or kansas.

come on

[TPowell]

UCLA should have been on a 2 game losing streak. UNC has beat 1 REAL top 25 all damn year. Memphis and Kansas could go down any night, but are in another class from the other 2

[LT Profits]

Don't get me started on the Pac-10 ryan...LOL

I have gotten in hot water here for saying that conference is grossly overrated, but that is my honest opinion. UCLA is the only team capable of a deep run IMO.

As for Louisville losing in the first round, it is not uncommon for good teams to lose early in these conference tournaments and then do a lot of damage in the Big Dance. What exactly did Lville have to gain by winning this tournament? There seeding won't be affected much, and not having to play three games in three days may actually help them down the line.

No, I am not saying good teams tank these early round games. What I am saying is that they are not as motivated to win them as their lower seeded opponents are.

[MJFtheGenius]

Big orange is right on.

[MJFtheGenius]

I think what Big orange and I are trying to say LT is no Big East team would be considered a favorite against the true elite teams unc,duke,tex,kansas,ucla,memphis and tennessee

[TPowell]

DEAR GOD! Did you just Clemson would smoke Stanford???? Stanford would beat Clemson and Duke.....easily

[TPowell]

those elite teams arent THAT good either btw

[MrFresh]

Memphis isnt that great. I'll be suprised if they make the elite 8.

[LT Profits]

Not being favored (maybe right) and not being able to beat them (definitely wrong) are two different things. I think that UNC and Kansas are the two best teams in the country, but after that, the other two Final Four spots are entirely dependent on the match-ups. That said, it would not be shocking to see a Big East team sneak in ala Georgtown last year, when they beat top-seeded UNC in the Elite Eight.

[element1286]

Clemson is a bad match up for Stanford. Clemson would press Stanford, who has only one real ball handler. Look what USC did to Stanford.

[LT Profits]

I actually think Clemson would beat Stanford too, although I wouldn't say "smoke".

[ryanXL977]

stanford is better than clemson
news flash, wash st is better than clemson
wash st is better than lville too. so is stanford.
lville is not top 10
people are crazy

[TPowell]

I dont get all the Clemson love to be honest. Does anybody here REALLY think Duke beats Stanford on a neutral court?

[LT Profits]

Memphis could be good, but they are untested away from home. I think that and the fact that they just clanked another free throw will keep them out of the Final Four.

[TPowell]

lol Wazzu? Maybe if Low goes off but if not NO WAY. Didn't we take care of Stanford last year? I think we just BARELY got by them......LOL

[ryanXL977]

duke is not better than lville
duke is not better than gtown
duke is not good

ucla is good
texas is good
unc is good
memhis is good
tennesseee is good
those are the best

[LT Profits]

I guess everyone missed my memo on the Pac-10 being overrated.

And I would confidently say Duke would smoke Stanford.

[TPowell]

UCLA= already mentioned there 2 game luck streak
Texas= Jackyl and Hyde
UNC= hasnt really beaten anybody top tier
Memphis= weak conference makes it hard for them to get ready to play their best basketball
Tennessee= SEC sucks

[TPowell]

LT....my man who would guard the Lopez's? They'd combine for 50-60 points alone. Duke has NOBODY inside

[ryanXL977]

texas = jekcyl and hide? what exactly is lville?
hilarious
teams lose games
they are kids
i can only look at what texas has done, beat tenn, beat ucla, beat kansas

who has lville beaten? get real
