Re: March Madness 2018
Well, that, and the fact the women play quarters now & have different foul/bonus rules. This year's NIT suggests the NCAA is looking make the same changes for the men, however.Gil Dobie wrote:Only real difference is the ball smaller for women.89Hen wrote: The rules and fields are different in men's and women's lax, aren't they?

Much like the WNBA, it's the slowest game on two feet. In the NCAA, even slower!

Re: March Madness 2018
Crazy to think that one of Kansas State, Loyola-Chicago, Florida State, or Michigan will play for the National Championship. I actually do have Michigan in the finals (vs. Duke), so I'm hoping they get that far.

Re: March Madness 2018
I have a Michigan/Duke finals as well, and considering how they dismantled a somewhat decent Texas A&M team last night you have to like their chances on that side of the bracket. Duke still has Kansas and likely nova ahead of them so plenty of work still to do on that side.∞∞∞ wrote:Crazy to think that one of Kansas State, Loyola-Chicago, Florida State, or Michigan will play for the National Championship.

Re: March Madness 2018
Haas has been cleared to play by the NCAA with a brace that Purdue engineering students came up with since he fractured his elbow last week. Would be big if he could play and play well - without him I'm not sure they win tonight, let alone against the nova/WVU winner. If he's anywhere close to normal, Purdue would be a tough out.

Dook is out.
So we’ll have Loyola vs. Michigan and Nova vs. Kansas in the Final Four. Could be an all-Catholic championship game. Sister Jean vs. Jay Wright.

Re: March Madness 2018
Last night was tough - I don't like Kansas or Duke but had to cheer for Duke because it helps my bracket. Made me feel dirty.

Re: March Madness 2018
I've never had a problem with Duke. I think it's a lot of irrational hatred really. For the most part, for the past few decades, Duke's played really good basketball. Now granted, I was never a Dean Smith fan and I didn't like North Carolina (still don't like that baby blue color they have either), so I just liked Duke because they weren't North Carolina.
Good games yesterday, but can't see how Kansas (or Duke if they had made it) could beat villanova the way they are playing right now. Just too much offense and they really play good man to man defense. Although that's the matchup of #1 seeds, I don't see that game as being much of a game. I do think, however, that either Michigan or shockingly Loyola could win this thing, even over nova. Michigan is just a scary good team playing really good basketball and Loyola couldn't be any hotter right now. That should be a really great game and I wouldn't bet against either of them winning as underdogs on the Monday.

Michigan was damned lucky to get by Florida State. And the Blue can’t shoot fouls. I’ll go out on a limb and pick Loyola for another upset.GannonFan wrote:I've never had a problem with Duke.
