Championship Week -- Day Six
Here is your OGT for all things basketball for Monday, March 9th. We've got 4 Championship Games to watch out for: Southern Conference (College of Charleston, who upset Davidson yesterday, vs. UT Chattanooga, or alma mater of Terrell Owens)....Colonial (VCU vs. George Mason)....WCC (Gonzaga, who has already locked up a berth, vs. St. Mary's, who just got Patty MIlls back and is still on the bubble)....MAAC (Siena, Kansas opponent and league's dominator, vs. Niagara, who Kansas played in the 1st round in 2007 and who who won in 2OT yesterday against Rider).
I'll be here, and so should you. Let's get this second week of Championship "Week" started off right...

I thought TO
was from Middle Tennessee State University… Hmmm
"I log on to RCT after school, and I see the 228 comments on this thread. I actually immediately panicked, because knowing KC, I figured some other fan from another school (most likely Mizzou) came over and said something stupid. Then, KC freaked out at him, and said something stupid (no offense, KC, but this really wouldn’t be that extraordinary for you to pull off) and then there was mass hysteria. I would have to ban people, and warn people, and it’d be mass chaos." - SlowDance
Nope, you were right.
Good call.

Busy night for me tonight...actually...
most of the week but I’ll try to check in when I can…here’s how I hope it shakes out tonight
Coll. of Charleston – on of the original mid majors
VCU
St. Mary’s
Siena…
those aren’t my picks just what I want to happen
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
I'm same as Denver, almost.
Go C of C!
Go George Mason!
Go St. Mary’s!
Go Siena!
Although, I’d be fine with Niagara or VCU winning. For some reason, Chattanooga bothers me, and it’s no fun if Gonzaga wins.
Right.
Plus they took down America’s Darling. It’s fun to root for the underdog, until ESPN overcovers them to death and everyone knows who they are. It isn’t quite as fun, after that.
That’s why I almost, almost want VCU to win. I can’t quite get there, though.
By the way.
In case no one pays attention to basketball like I do, the America’s Darling I’m referring to is, of course, Davidson.
And, more specifically, Stephen Curry. Yes, the same Stephen Curry who was 5-19 yesterday.
Oooh, scary.
How did Cremins wind up at College of Charleston?
I just thought he retired.
I'm not sure,
got bored and they were the only place that would hire him?
I just got back from your mom's basement.
Don't bother replying;
I just read his wiki page.

He played ball at South Carolina, lives in South Carolina:
and claims he wanted to restore College of Charleston to it’s former glory! That seems unlikely. Must have needed the money and it’s the closest college to his favorite golf course. It says he lives in Hilton Head, so greens fees are probably expensive.

The Yahoo! Tournament pool is posted now, FYI.
Information on top of front page.
We need to think of a good prize.
First ever RCT shirt?
If I win, expect a long Fanpost describing my foolproof plan for picking the winners.
You can also expect a trophy as my picture and the victory mentioned for my signature.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
The shirt would be great.
Nice password. We shouldn’t forget that.

Beat ya to it, Warden :D

What, you made your own shirt, KC?
That’s like cheating! Magic marker on a white t doesn’t count.

No, my sig.

VCU up big on George Mason, 37-20.
North Texas upsetting, so far, Western Kentucky 36-29 in the Sun Belt semis. Go Mean Green.
And, C of C is losing by 11 to Chattanooga.
I went grocery shopping and missed both runs.
Chattanooga went on a 20-0 run to start the half?
I just got back from your mom's basement.
I was watching North Texas-WKU.
But yeah, they went on some monstrous run.
It was ridiculous.
It was like tied, or C of C was even winning I think, then I flip back over and Chattanooga is winning by 15. Craziness.
Not looking good for C of C
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Mason v VCU looked pretty chippy when I was watching
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
It's chippy.
But still a blowout.
VCU is scary-good, folks. I want no part of them. If they’re an 11, again, which seems about right, and we slide to 3…that’s bad news.
Sanders I think was his name...
out of control that guy had some ferocious dunks
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Yep.
He was all-but-set to be Florida’s head coach after Billy Donovan departed for Orlando, but got kinda screwed when Donovan came back.
Honestly, I think the Gators might be better off if Grant had come over. I’m not hign on Donovan at all.
yes indeed...great fun to watch that
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
In the WKU-UNT game...
the Hilltoppers have a player named: Steffphon.
Not even joking.
Talk about overkill on the “f” sound…
awesome...
not just 2 f’s…not just a ph….he needed to f’s and a ph…I can only assume it pronounced differently than the norm..
ah yes here it is in the WKU program pronunciation guide…
Steffphon – Steffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff – on
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Yes they are,
try working in a public school. Conferences are amazing.
Also worked in a grocery store for awhile in college, see some crazies there too.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
Shouldn't he have 2 ph's to balance it?
Steffphphon
isn't that the whole 2 wrongs don't make a right argument
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
What was that about?
You can’t dunk in pregame?
Yeah.
What’s the deal with that?
Since I was like 6, I’ve had it ingrained in me, for one reason or another, that dunking wasn’t allowed in pregame warmups.
Is this true?
Was this just a rule that certain coaches (like Roy, most likely, as those are the games I went to…) followed?
Someone, please enlighten me.
I knew you couldn't in high school,
always assumed you could in college.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
Siena is another team I want no part of.
They have so much talent, it’s crazy.
Of course, we all saw that earlier in the year, where they pretty much outplayed us in Allen, save a 25-1 run.
so I'm guessing you'll be picking...
Sienna and VCU as first round upsets…??
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
I remember the Lew Alcindor rule:
They were so worried about his ability they outlawed dunking for a while in college. Had no idea you couldn’t dunk in pregame still.
Anybody watching 24 right now????

St. Mary's missing lay-ups.
This may get ugly fast. Zags up 11-2
Just finished reading SlowDance
discussing K-State over at BOTC. Solid points.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
yep just went back and read those...
great stuff…good discussion on both sides, and that’s what makes SB Nation unique.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Agreed about SBNation being unique,
lets hope it stays that way.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
Well,
Gonzaga is running away with this one. They wanted to justify their high ranking in RC’s blogpoll.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
Yes, St. Mary's has laid a big egg in a needed game.
They had a terrible start & just never got going.
by hunter s. royal on Mar 9, 2009 9:47 PM CDT up reply actions
Well, RMN &BOTC do agree on one thing:
Cole supposedly fouls more in one game than Jason Sutherland & Luis Colon have in their entire careers & they’re happy he’s not clogging up their rosters. I guess we’ll just have to suffer & keep him.
I keep hoping Cole will head to the pro's...
and we get get Darren Kent using that 5th year transfer rule…what a dream. :D
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
If only Bill could coach like Anderson or Martin;
perhaps he could make something of Cole. Then Cole could get triple doubles instead of those mediocre double doubles.

Micah Downs as tourney MVP?
Seems like his name is familiar, haha
I just got back from your mom's basement.
He had 10 rebounds in the first half.
I don’t know if he had that many in his KU career.

Did anyone see the ending of that Bulls game?
Danny Satan won’t be happy about that ending.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
D-Wade 3 at the buzzer.

after Chicago had the ball with the clock running out
but D-Wade stole it before the Bulls could get a shot off.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
Question:
Do we have enough baseball fans here to for a Fantatsy Baseball League? We would only need 8 or so.

I'd play...not a huge fan but I enjoy fantasy sports
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
K, cuz I'm in a couple leagues, but I think
it would just be fun to do one with all of us. I’m sure labba would be in. I know SlowDance said he plays. Esteban would. That’s 1,2,3,4,5… Sorry, had to count as I went. Uhhhh, who else here is a baseball fan?

I'm a fan. I'd consider it, but:
Summer is my busy season with work & golf. My time might be limited.

What's up with everyone changing their sigs?
First KC, then Denver, now Warden?
How am I supposed to recognize y’all on the fly?
I had to.
Denver and labba made me. You’ll get used to it. Change yours, mabye…

Kit Pellow
with the Mexican League MVP trophy is a pretty cool pic, but it’s March. Need something Kansas.

So that last picture wasn't of you???

Mario doing an interview on SC.
Over now, but they had Chalmers on talking about D-Wade’s 3 at the buzzer. ABSOLUTELY SICK SHOT.

ESPN 2 has got got "Whose #1 tournament buzzer beaters"
on right now, No Chalmers so I guess it was made before last year. They had Laettner’s as #1 obviously, my question is, we all know that we would put Chalmers’s shot at #1, but do you think it would go down that way nationally?
