2011 ncaa

ugh

In a season that was full of surprises, this one turned out to be a dog.

It was the Huskies who came away with the ribbon.

that mickey kemba is awwww

I am glad March Madness is over so I can stop watching CBS and those stupid fucking "A Tradition Unlike Any Other" Masters commercials....

this is for the masters fwiw, yuo have 1 more eewk

fuck yakkll fwiw

no it stops now bc March Madness is the only time I'll watch CBS live

^ OTM

Anyway, one of the best tournaments of my lifetime ends not with a bang but with a whimper. What a crappy game.

I ask again, how much money does Jim Calhoun earn this year because of Kemba Walker? Is his contract public?

y it's public

someone just told me 1m bonus for winning, but not sure abt that

http://www.uconnhuskies.com/auto_pdf/p_hotos/s_chools/conn/sports/m-baskbl/auto_pdf/CalhounContract

1 months annual salary for participating in ncaa tourney
2 months annual salary for final 4
3 months annual salary for winning ncaa

The only people capable of enjoying that ugly train wreck of a game were UConn coach, players and fans. So, enjoy!

Glad UConn was able to win a title before their three-year probation goes into effect! Good timing.

Thanks for posting, johnny. So, $175,000 bonus for winning )based on his salary, not speaking/appearances). Nothing in there about the Big East tournament that I saw.

wtf guy

in a USA Today online report Tuesday, Northern Arizona coach Mike Adras told the newspaper he gave his No. 1 vote to the Buckeyes.

Adras said he also put Kansas No. 2 before voting for UConn third on his ballot.

"I voted for who I thought was the best team in the country based on the entire body of work during the season," Adras told USA Today. "I believe it is Ohio State. I want to congratulate Connecticut for winning the NCAA tournament. They deserved it."

lol, why do they even do a postseason ranking? so pointless and dumb.

cmon espn, really

So much for that Calhoun's bonus:

UConn to lose two scholarships
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=6571897

A low rating is costly to Calhoun personally. His contract calls for him to donate $100,000 to a UConn scholarship fund if the program doesn't meet the APR. He also will forfeit his postseason bonus of $87,500, earned during UConn's run to the national title.

er..."for Calhoun's bonus".

Although, now that I think about it, I kinda like my typo.

guess he'll be giving back more than a dime

hoyas brawl in china

this is insanity

chair throwing!!

seems like the chinese won that fight right??

I feel like I'm more excited about supporting a Hoyas team built for completely insane Chinese riots than about the previous three years of "We should be good, and we will be good for a while, and then we will completely implode by the end of the season." I feel like if we crap out in February 2012 we will at least do it by like, making a huge ruckus at Pitt or something.

kinda looks like the hoyas got jumped -- the dude in the khaki shorts was out there in a flash

http://eye-on-college-basketball.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/26283066/31398073

From reading about the game, though, it sounded like the actual insanity was preceded by a game full of rough play; Georgetown had 28 fouls to 11 for the Chinese dudes at halftime.

Also from the WaPo article Earlier in the game, Rocket forward Xu Zhonghao had approached Thompson while he was yelling instruction to his players and then began berating him. Thompson stared at Xu in disbelief before officials halted play for several minutes in the third quarter.

Really really want to see these dudes come play at Verizon Ctr, that'd be the most fun thing since the Duke&Obama game in 2010.

what the fuck

Although this makes it sound like the foul discrepancy was not actually because the Hoyas were fighting dirty (so much as the refs fighting dirty): http://hoyatalk2.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=24494&page=1#448237
