<p>ldmom: No, I missed that altogether (not Terry’s 3 point shot at the end, but Roy’s “exasperation” and Michigan State’s “white flag” signal). I thought Ty Lawson did a great job, too.</p>
<p>Hmmm. USC throttles Texas. Good for the Pac-10, bad for SC getting even more full of themselves. Maybe Texas <em>should</em> have played Vince Young. Depending on which bracket I look at, I still have 5-6 of the Elite Eight in play.
There seem to have been fewer upsets than usual this year.</p>
<p>awwww…looks like my dh will not get his UNC-Texas game. 
What in the world happened? I didn’t watch the game because I was outside gardening…but I wore my bright orange Crocs for good luck while putting in the petunias and coleus… and Texas still lost!!</p>
<p>Well, maybe if Texas A&M can get through Memphis and Ohio State and UNC can get through Georgetown, we may yet have a Tar Heel State/Lone Star State shootout. That’s a lot of ‘ifs’ though…lol!</p>
<p>“Mini, UCLA wins by defense.”</p>
<p>It’s hardly winning by defense when you can’t score against a team that is totally porous.</p>
<p>
Yes, they did … YIPPEE! Three teams from Tennessee in the sweet 16!
GO VOLS!</p>
<p>Mini, UCLA missed some easy baskets but the UI defense was not porous.</p>
<p>Three teams in the Sweet Sixteen from the Pac-10. The only comparable conference is the $EC, which I hope falls flat on its face. And the vaunted ACC and Big Ten have been treated like characters in “Grand Theft Auto.”</p>

<p>I said it in a different thread:</p>
<p>Virginia has the ability to steal defeat from the clutches of victory :(</p>
<p>^ Just one missed shot… ;)</p>
<p>Oh well, I get to buy lunch today at the office. I’m probably the first one out. I had Virginia winning it all. :)</p>

<p>The pressure is off then…and you get to eat too! :)</p>
<p>PAC-10 tends to be underrated as a lot of games are featured late, when many of the sports scribes are crashing…</p>
<p>…if you can find them at all on FSN.</p>
<p>"Three teams in the Sweet Sixteen from the Pac-10.'</p>
<p>Oregon looked FANTASTIC; and USC was no slouch either (though I thought the Texas team was way overrated.)</p>
<p>DudeDad, yep, the Pac-10 being on FSN instead of ESPN contributes to major underexposure.</p>
<p>Did anyone else think Sunday was a bit of a yawn, if you don’t have a horse in the race?</p>
<p>I thought that of Saturday!</p>
<p>TheDad,
The Ducks are still in it. They are from Oregon, not North Carolina. ;)</p>
<p>That’s “the Ducks,” not “Duck.” Pronounced differently. </p>
<p>The Ducks are internet friendly…they have…wait for it…Webbed feet.</p>
<p>Let’s go Hoyas…</p>
<p>I hope to see Florida play Amherst for the REAL national championship. ;)</p>
<p>Was that a great choke by Tennessee or what? Up by 20 and they lose by 1.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Southern Illinois came very close to knocking off Kansas.</p>
<p>And sympathies to TAMU. Their very good player is going to have nightmares about that missed layup.</p>
<p>
I know </p>
<p>Guess I’ll root for Memphis or ugh … Vandy.</p>
