Said this in another thread, but want to re-state here---

This may be the easiest walk for any 1 seed to the championship game in the history of the touenament if Kansas ends up making it.

Not saying Butler is going to lay down and this all assuming Kansas doesnt choke today.

16 seed Boston U
9 seed Illinois
12 seed Richmond
11 seed VCU
8 seed in Final 4 Butler

Plus the fact they will face a 2, 3, or 4 seed in the championship.

My buddy said "They havent taken their warm-ups off yet" hahaha.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Great start for VCU

 

[JadeBrecks]

I hope they keep it up. Id love to see kansas to lose.

 

[IrishLax]

30 more minutes. Come on Rams!!!!!

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Damn I gotta check my bets

 

[JadeBrecks]

Sorry gibblets but I hope you lose this one.

 

[Ironman8]

I'll take a 3 million vbuck hit to see the Rams win.

 

[KPENN]

I think CBS has the score wrong.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Yea, I'm with ironman. ill take the hit. I originally had vcu and the points for the same amount as kansas to win but then I was like what if kansas blows them out.

Had the same thoughts. O well, kinda turned into a win-win. Get some vbucks or see the Rams play Butler to go to the Championship game.

 

[KPENN]

Nevermind. I coulda swore vcu was up 13

 

[Ironman8]

Wow they can not miss from distance right now.

 

[JadeBrecks]

I'm loving this!

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Anyone tell me VCU's makeup with regards to age? I'm at the bar with limited service and don't want to close out IE.

[KPENN]

Skeen, Rodriguez Nixon and Rozell are seniors, Burgess a junior. Theus a soph. Brandenburg and Reddic are frosh.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Thanks guys, forthe info.

It so annoying that I can never pick the cinderella team. I always try though...

 

[JadeBrecks]

Don't speak too early. They have flattened out.

 

[KPENN]

KU's waking up a tad bit

 

[Ironman8]

Going to be a heck of a 2nd half.

The weird thing is I've watched VCU play a couple games this year (my cousin goes there) and they have never played remotely close to as good as they have this whole tournament. Their defense and 3pt shooting are remarkably improved. Let's hope they can keep it up.

Can you imagine VCU vs. Butler in the Final Four?

 

[JadeBrecks]

Come on vcu shape it up!

Upstarts on one side, and stalwarts on the other. Would be a great Final Four.

 

[KPENN]

KU's gonna win

 

[IrishLax]

The size edge is crazy for Kansas.... but no matter what way you slice it VCU is up 9 with about 10 minutes left. Gotta love it.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Rooting for kansas. I want my vbucks!

 

[JadeBrecks]

One heck of a roller coaster game!
