Still going with the Illini, I'm a little curious to see why everyone is picking against them now/still. I was watching ESPN and they had some "experts" and online polls that had the majority of them saying it's either UNC over Illinois, or UNC over Louisville, and a few Illinois over UNC. What gives?

uh hello, espn? east coast? if you're not in the ACC, you suck according to espn ;)

everyone over there is so damn biased it's not even funny.

And username?

But nonetheless, <b>GO HEELS!</b>

Actually the username is a reference to the NFL's NY Giants. If anyhting, Big Blue in college hoops is more synonymous with Kentucky. Only reason the Giants aren't on my sig is because it's offseason and I had to sacrifice one team to avoid the sig being too big. Once football starts the Heels may have to go but the avatar will stay. :D But I do agree, Go Heels!

All Big Ten final? :laugh:

That's a funny illusional statement :p

lol, hey it was illusional to have 3 big ten teams in the elite 8 and 2 big ten teams in the final 4, especially since our RPI rating was 6 out 6 for the major conferences, DEAD LAST.

just wait, you'll see :p

i called at the beginning that duke, kentucky, kansas, and north carolina wouldn't be in the final....

Well, I knew about ESPN being east coast biased (see Red Sox - Spankmes, Peter Gammons, etc) but still.

I've been watching some shows and it's not even funny the lack of "respect" the Illini are getting. I quoted respect because nobody is really saying they are a bad team, they're just saying that the Arizona game shows that they aren't as good as everyone said they were. Um, isn't the point to win the game no matter by how much? Hasn't Illinois done that in every game but one?

The thing about UNC is that nobody is denying their talent. I just wonder about their focus. While Wisconsin is playing much better than all of the times Illinois played them, UNC should have handled them easily. They were content to just work their offense and were extremely lax on their defense. I'm not sure what team will show up against MSU. If it's the laid back one I fully expect MSU to take advantage and make it an all Big-10 final.

oh hell yeah, i agree dude. unc shoulda destroyed wisky in terms of pure talent. roy willimas is such a bad coach, and his players are playing so below their potential, they were 1 shot away from losing that game. and just think of all the wake-up calls that they've had this year, and they still play like that. you think that a team who lost to a high school, and then got a free gift to the final four courtesy of the officials would have a pretty decent fire lit under their arses.

roy willimas is such a bad coach

Man you really despise UNC huh? That's fine, but how can you say Williams is a bad coach? Caoching super-talented players can actually be one of the toughest things. McCants IS a handful though he's got incredible game. Ask Larry Brown about Allen Iverson. Until he won a championship with Detroit were people saying he was a bad coach? Was Phil Jackson a bad coach for not winning with the Lakers last year? No. Look I know Williams' teams have a penchant for choking at the end but merely GETTING there so often has to be worth something. I believe I've said before UNC needs Felton on the floor. If he hadn't gotten into foul trouble against Villanova or rolled his ankle against Wisconsin they WOULD'VE blown both teams out. It was when he went out that both teams cut into pretty nice leads. How come Matt Doherty couldn't get the same group of super-talented kids even into the tourney? Williams has an over .800 career win percentage. I know UNC is vulnerable and hate on them all you want and say Williams can't get it done in the big game but he's not a bad coach. If he wins this year, everyone forgets the times he didn't and he's a genius like Boeheim after winning with 'Cuse two years ago. And what I'm rooting for more than anyhting else this year is that he gets the monkey off his back so people can stop trashing the guy for being a consistently great coach.

Sorry about the mini-rant just felt that needed to be said. You can all return to your UNC/Roy bashing :p

Edited by bigbluepride35

it's not just UNC, it's the whole ACC ;)

either way, at this point in time, williams is a choker. nothing more. he choked just as much with kansas.

UNC's last championship: 1993 (thanks to webber :angry:)

kansas' last:1988!!

i don't care how good you are during the regular season, this is what counts.

this is why if i was in charge of the NFL hall of fame, brady would be in this minute, and i wouldn't even blink when i say marino is out.

OK but if he wins, then he becomes a great coach? I mean IMO that's insane that one game says you're one of the greatest or just a choker or has-been. But hey if that's your own personal standard, fine but if I was a player or coach in any sport I wouldn't want you to head my Hall of Fame :p. And I agree with Brady being in but Marino out? Wow, that's all I have to say to that one, WOOOOOOOW lol. Any die-hard Miami fans are gonna rip you apart lol.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches.

LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates.

Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector.
