March Madness 2010 - Live Chat Thread

Xavier goes up one, then commits a STUPID foul on a three point shot, and K-State gets a four-point play.

C'mon Xavier! We *need* an A-10/Horizon League game as a Regional Final!

 

It would be an awesome regional final

 

X back up one, two minutes to play. Crawford is playing OUT OF HIS MIND right now. Wow.

 

K State up 1, free throws coming, under 10 seconds to go.

As to the other game, wasn't Kentucky-Cornell supposed to be a high scoring game? Not a 42-34 game with 4:30 to go...

Make that a 3 point game, Xavier calls timeout.

EDIT: And Xavier is fouled on a 3 point attempt!

EDIT2: ok, announcer, please shut up about the earlier foul. Yeah, he had two hands on him. But that has to be the weakest attempt at a foul in that situation I've ever seen. I'd say that's actually a good no call.

And we're going to OT!

 

Yeah, foul, but obviously so, I don' think.

 

OF course we get an OT game. What else would we get this year?


K-State up four though. X needs a bucket here.

 

I'd like to point out that it is another Thursday game we're having this in

And tie game - no, K State back up two! What a game!

Come on, Xavier!

EDIT: Double OT!!

 

Jordan.

Crawford.

did.

not.

hit.

that.

shot.

 

DOUBLE OVERTIME! WOOOOO!

 

Second overtime is underway, and I'm still just sitting here in shock at that shot.

 

In all the hecticness, should be mentioned that Cornell's out. 62-45.

 

yeah... only thing that surprises me there is the low score. I figured Kentucky would win something like 93-72.

 

Bad sign for Xavier: every time they've had the ball with a chance to take the lead, they can't do it. It's almost becoming a mental hump they have to get over. Still, you have to love your confidence level after a shot like the one Crawford hit.

Edit: and, of course, as I say that, X takes the lead, only to give it right back. What a crazy game.

 

K State now up 1. Big shot after big shot.

Still in shock, btw.

 

*bites nails*

 

If K State makes a free throw here, it might be over

 

Pressure on...

 

a missed triple, and that probably does it.

I don't know how you don't have either Crawford or Holoday take that shot ...

down 4, 11.6 ticks left. I think it ends here for X.

 

I'm not writing this out til Xavier's next possession.

 

That looks like its done.

 

K State wins

EDIT: oh, and that perfect bracket Inty linked to on the last page is no longer perfect - he had Syracuse over Butler. Still, this far and only have one game wrong?

 

I have doubts if that bracket was real. But im cynical.

 

I wanted K-state to win so this is a huge sigh of relief for me!

 

I picked Kansas State to win, but I wanted Kansas State to lose.

 

I need Tenn to win some how to help me out.
