And the mafia controls it all, right? Just want to make sure I get it correct so I can consult with Ray Ramono before I fill out my bracket next year.

Just consult this guy - Joseph “The Builder” Andriacchi -- though you might have to use an eye for collateral --- seriously though Calipari should have worked the refs early in the game, when Wisconsin was getting away with reach ins and body checks --- an early T would have worked wonders for UK -- how these refs are missing so many calls at the end of games is getting to be old and it just isnt NCAA, look at the blown calls in the NFL playoffs -- alot of time gets wasted on easy trivial reviews but not ones that affect the games outcome.

dude your a tool. the ncaa committee sets the brackets. duke will win the championship this year because they are a good team, but also they were in the easiest bracket. much like 2010 when everybody bet on the cats. duke got an easy draw. I guess your just upset the Gators didn't make it to the tourney this year. duke claims another title book it.

Wisconsin will beat duke.

No the year we won the championship was like that, so that's 2 of the last 4 or something. Idk.

Dude... The year they won the championship they had Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Both freshmen and the #1 and #2 overall picks in the following year's NBA draft. It wouldn't have mattered if the rest of the roster was 5th year seniors (which it wasn't as Marquis Teague was another freshman on that roster who was a first round pick later that year).

I'm not necessarily saying there's anything wrong with that. But let's not pretend for one second that the 2012 championship wasn't won primarily by a couple of one and done freshman who would've been starting on NBA rosters had they been allowed to.

So Vegas is getting to the officials before the NCAA can? No doubt the NCAA and CBS would've preferred a Duke vs. UK matchup. But Vegas preferred anyone but UK?

vegas had to have anybody but uk win. they would lose to much. the committee much like in 2010 put duke in a perfect position to win. the reason I chose them to cut the nets down. 8 grand coming home tonight.

I think whiteys need their own word.

I'm thinking mayonnaise. If you call me a mayo, that's a term of affection. But if some minority drops a hard onnaise at the end, they best be ready to throw down.

I find "cracker" offensive when a black person says it. It is not in jest, it is not a misunderstanding. It is racist. Period.

It has not been mentioned on SportsCenter except as part of their scroll, although the Wisconsin press conference is coming up where Kaminsky will certainly be asked about it. We all know the condemnation and outrage that would be directed at Kaminsky if he had said the same thing.... ESPN covered the SAE chant at Oklahoma extensively even though it didn't involve athletes. They eat this kind of stuff up. If Kaminsky had said this about Harrison they would be calling for him to be suspended for the championship game. The double standard is impossible to miss.

He'll take the high road. No brainer to do that.

let me break this down for you little man. 1, four major las vegas casinos go bankrupt if UK goes undefeated. that is the main reason there was no chance they were going to win. 2, the ncaa committee has a hard on for coach K and once again put him in the easiest bracket. that is the main reason I took duke at 8-1 they had the best chance of getting to the final 4. they had a 2 seed in Gonzaga that was a joke and ISU who sucked as well not to mention Gtown being a 4. now you can go back down in your moms basement and flame away. i'm getting ready to collect my 8 grand so I really don't care what you think. my reasoning may be flawed but it works. by the way I heard this same crap when I picked OSU to win it all in football. at 10 to 1 it was a easy choice, not to mention easy money.

Following up Gator smack with your mom's basement smack all but cements it.

And congrats on making $8,000 gambling...very impressive. :blink:

You make it sound like the NCAA and Vegas are colluding to do what's in Vegas best interest. I don't understand gambling but I thought I heard Todd Fuhrmann, the Vegas guy that comes on nashville sports radio, say pre-tournament that you had to wager $1.20 just to make a $1 if you were picking UK. That doesn't seem like theyd lose a lot cause the odds were so "low" I guess you'd say?

Original odds last summer were 50-1, then when UK fans started jumping on it, they dropped it quickly to 40-1, then it finally bottomed out.

And I seriously doubt that Vegas casinos would have gone out of business over those bets.

And it makes perfect sense that four major casinos would all go bankrupt based on the outcome of a single bet.

You really have absolutely 0 understanding of how casinos operate, don't you?

They don't lose money no matter who wins. They certainly don't go bankrupt.

bro it was all over the news and espn that 4 major vegas casinos would go bankrupt if UK went undefeated. they were going off at like 75 to 1. then everybody came back and the odds dropped to like 20 to 1 and people still bet on them. if anybody is interested I took the nats to win the series at 7 to 1. welcome to college sports where it is mostly fixed.

no it was futures bets before the season. a lot were bet right after the season last year when most thought uk's team was nba bound. I saw some going off at 75 to 1 if UK went undefeated. a crap load of people bet on them.

Gotcha. I'm surprised pre-season it was as high as 50-1 or even 40-1.
