Gotta give props to the Big Ten. I thought Mich St. had a chance but I didnt think Wisconsin would pull it off too. I never hated on them to begin with but definitely DIDN'T expect them to outnumber the ACC in the Elite Eight. And as for the Redick thing. Stoudamire had a better percentage during the season from beyond the line anyway didn't he? So IMHO I don't even think Redick is the best pure 3-point shooter in the country. And he (Stoudamire) can create his own shot, as seen against Oklahoma St. I think Redick's overrated, too. Of course, my anti-Duke bias may blur my judgment on that lol.

They robbed Villanova like they were stealing candy from a baby. Dick Enberg should be fired after his commentary.

Watching replay in slow motion: "There's 1 step, 2 steps, (Ray was in the air shooting the ball) 3 steps. Yup, I do agree with the refs, he took 3 steps."

Shame how Villanova was robbed in this one. They were my pick to beat UNC before the tournament started as I posted earlier in this thread.

P.S. Big 10 still sucks, BroChaos :p

I tell ya what, even if WVU loses this game they have a trememndous amount of heart. That shot to the head Collins took diving for the loose ball just now was insane. And Pittsnogle could be the next Dirk Nowitzki :laugh: .

edit/

Looks like Louisville's the first team in. WVU played a hell of a game. Sorry to see their run end but Louisville deserved it after that comeback. Great game

i wouldn't have given it to stoudamire either. i don't know what they were doing, but amari is covered and is like 3 for 15 on the night.

what a comeback. i can't even talk right now, my voice is gone, i managed to throw a chair and a couple pillows during the game :p

gotta love having home court. and i give props to amari, he's still miles better than j.j. "i write my own poetry" reddick.

it's nice to be a big ten fan, 3 of the 4 games featuring a team :)

my family is gonna be ****ed tomorrow when i'm ignoring them during easter :p

go big ten!

You wouldn't have given it to Stoudamire? Regardless of his bad shooting game, he is the star of the team who beat OK. St. on a last second pull away jumper. Bad play calling at the end by Olsen.

Looks like the Big 10 will go 0-2 tomorrow ;)

Great line.

Illinois is a great team. Absolutely fantastic game.

Hey Bro....did you turn the set off with 3 minutes left like I did? lol...I turned it on another 30 seconds later....I had to support the team, even though at the time I knew they were gonna lose....wow

watch the replay. Head was all over Stoudamire. That's why they didn't get the ball to him, and thus, the crappy play at the end. Olson.....great coach....not too original.

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
