The Halfcourt Trap NCAA Tournament Thread

[hatvol96]

I'll be putting the regional breakdowns folks requested right here, starting tomorrow night with Tennessee's region. Also, I'm trying to get ahold of some coaches to get their Final Four picks. I'll post those here, as well.

Thanks Hat!

 

[vols kick balls]

You're the man.

Bobby Knight likes Georgetowns chances, commenting on ESPN last night.

 

[Ohiovol09]

Appreciate the work Hat :hi:

Make sure you give Mr. Wooden a buzz. I know you've got his number on speed dial.

I wouldn't talk to John Wooden if he were sitting next to me.

I'm sure you''ve got the manager you work for at Wendy's on speed dial. Let us know who he likes.

What's wrong with Wooden?

I'm quite certain he wouldn't answer my first question. Coach Wooden, how easy was it to recruit when you had access to mobster Sam Gilbert's checkbook?

 

[tvolsfan]

I see... On a more depressing topic, how does this loss affect the seeding? Is there any chance UT gets a one?

Jerry Tarkanian said the UCLA had crooked boosters like Gilbert, but I don't think he mentioned mob ties. Wow...

Google Sam Gilbert. You'll get all the info you need.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Google Sam Gilbert. You'll get all the info you need.

In 1981, the UCLA basketball program was placed on probation and UCLA was ordered to disassociate Sam Gilbert from the recruiting process. UCLA was told to disassociate Gilbert from the recruiting process because his name was used to co-sign a loan for a player’s car along with several other infractions.

Government officials report that a year after being forced away from the UCLA Basketball program, Gilbert began laundering money for a known drug runner in a scheme that supposedly made him $36 million. Coincidentally, when federal agents finally had enough evidence to arrest and went to his home on November, 24th 1987 in Pacific Palisades, they learned that he had passed away two days earlier of cancer.

Some people are just born lucky...

lmao....wow you're so quick witted. Sigh...

By the way, your fellow City League coaches don't count. :good!:

 

[NationofVols]

No, it'd definitely be the other way around.

 

[TN Vol 0320]

Nation, don't waste your time with Hat. I promise you this "debate" (albeit a one-sided debate) will not end in your favor.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Hat, what will it take to get away from UCLA or Kansas? A Texas loss

I think it's pretty much a done deal. Lets take our 2 seed like a man and move on...

Disagree. If Kansas loses tomorrow, we're the 1 in D'town and they're the 2.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Disagree. If Kansas loses tomorrow, we're the 1 in D'town and they're the 2.

We're still screwed then, I'd rather get a region with Memphis and Duke and be a 3 seed. Arthur will score about 70 points and Kansas guards will make Jordan Howell worse than he already is. I want no part of Kansas or UCLA

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Disagree. If Kansas loses tomorrow, we're the 1 in D'town and they're the 2.

The word on the street is that the winner of the Big XII championship will get the last 1 seed.

Denver? hmy:

 

[tvolsfan]

No, it'd definitely be the other way around.

No, not everyone around here. Just you.

It ends in my favor every time because he hops on every post with full intent, which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. lol

Not when you make comebacks like that.

 

[BigPapaVol]

1. It isn't a debate because he doesn't know how to do that without playground banter.

2. It ends in my favor every time because he hops on every post with full intent, which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. lol

you continue to prove yourself the bigger man. nicely done.
