Yeah, and that's really the point. I didn't start liking Knight until Sports Illustrated did a hit piece on him.

Are you some kind of psycho? You hate Spurrier, comparing him to the hated Bobby Knight and his "personality", yet you like Knight? Oh, right, Bulldog fan.

Time for another banner? Haa ha ha! This is a new era P. Did you happen to catch the split screen of the old UCLA players? Ha! What a hoot. One old guy no one ever heard of was asleep, Bill Russell was yawning as his team was getting pounded, and Lew Alcindor looked like a burn victim on painkillers (with apologies to burn victims). At least Walton was awake, sitting in the student section.

UCLA even had John Wooden go into the hospital for added sentimental support, which helped...not at all.

If you ain't a Gator, you're GATOR BAIT my friend!!

Thanks, I hadn't seen that. Don't know how it got by me.

Yeah, thats old stuff that Roy Williams started circulating back when he was at Kansas and BIlly D outworked him in his own backyard to get Mike MIller. CAon't believe this guy repeated it. The NCAA investigated, found no wrongdoing and cleared Billy and UF.

You still had Humphrey avoiding mixups under the nets. Why is that?

Breathtaking stupidity on display! He is a 6'2" guard, they don't mix it up under the nets. ON any team

Having watched the entire game very carefully I'd suggest that if the referees had stopped play every time your young traveler shuffled his feet wrong or forgot to dribble the ball, we'd still be watching it 3 days later!

Of all the experts who watched and commented on the game, the Dicke V's, Seth Davis, Clark Kellogg, Digger Phelps, none ever remotely suggested the refereeing was bad--even UCLA didn't do that. They could have called palming on Farquar or whatever his name was every time he touched the rock.

A correctly referred game would have put Florida out in the first round.

You must have been watching a different tournament than everyone else. Blaming the refs...what kind of FReeper are you? Talk about sour grapes.

Why yes, I am a psycho.

I never said I disliked Spurrier or Knight. I said they don't have great personalities. As to being a Bulldog fan, you've got to be kidding.

I bleed Pirate gold, Longhorn orange and Cowboy silver.

Noah double-dribbles, palms the ball, and travels with impunity.

The refs just don't catch that stuff during tournament play because stopping the flow of play hurts advertising revenues.

Digger Phelps?

You use him as a character reference on this game?

Gad!

Basketball is unfortunately going the way of professional wrestling, and without as much color or excitement.
