Yep. Nothing else matters.

Golden has a very punchable face

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Let’s go Baylor!!

Let’s go Baylor!!

I hope so. It would take a miracle though

 

[Boston Vol]

Florida still has the crew that investigated Aaron Hernandez.

The Golden investigation was handled externally by a third-party firm.

The Clayton 3’s will be what’s remembered by most. But Martin made so many incredible winning plays.

Disappointing part of the game for me was that was the first time I remember Condon and Haugh being a relative non-factor.

But, again, whatever. They won. Flush it and get ready for the next one

I don't blame you forgetting that game here in Knoxville.

These CBS guys are falling over themselves to praise Dan Hurley and talk about his honorable behavior in losing. What a crock of bullcrap. Especially about a certified whiner like Hurley. I swear, I said it yesterday and I'll say it again - no one on any show I can recall has ever been so damned effusive and soothing about Tennessee losing an NCAA tournament game. Never. But these UConns and North Carolinas lose and the desk jockeys just pour the praise and love and admiration on.

Weren’t they doing it for UCLA yesterday too? It was bizarre to hear.

I laughed the whole interview. I can't take Dan Hurley seriously. Lol. He has a few screws loose.

Yep. Down south, we refer to him as “Bless his heart. His bread ain’t quite done.”

If anything they dance on our grave when we lose. It is noticeable and annoying.

All about Guard play in March anyway, UConn has bigs & depth, but Gators 3 guards played lights out.

One of the things that was interesting about the Florida game was that I think it was a Florida crowd at the end of that game which tells you how much Hurley is disliked.

Usually the crowd tilts to the underdog

I'd root for Satan before I'd cheer for Florida in any sport.

Dan Hurley acting like a bitch blaming the refs after the game. Lmao, what a sore loser.

UF fans thought I was nuts picking UCONN to win a close one. Safe to say they all had to change their pants after the game lol damn almost got em, I don’t think UF can maintain this streak they’re on for 4 more games

Most champs have at least one nail biter along the way. Survived an uncharacteristically poor shooting performance and against a good team. Move on.

Baylor hanging in there and actually has the lead 24-23, but we all know how this story ends.
Seen this movie too many times.

 

[99gator]

So, Florida, Arkansas, Tennessee and Auburn are in the Sweet 16.

Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Alabama have yet to play

I fully expect Duke to pull this out, but I’m not surprised Duke is not blowing Baylor out like so many people expected. The ACC was just that terrible, and Duke probably isn’t the second coming of 1976 Indiana like everybody wants to claim.

That doesn’t mean Duke is overrated. But surely people realize by now that they were beating everybody in their conference by 30+ because it was terrible, and not because Duke is an indestructible juggernaut

That was about as poorly a game UF could play and they still won. Have to think winning against that program with that pedigree will serve them well later on.
