Watching Jay Bilias after another VCU win last nite was absolutely priceless. Its really starting to get to him, he looked like he was sweating and just talking in such a rapid pace trying to understand how FSU loses after out rebounding VCU at such a large margin. He also now has a disclaimer he reads b4 speaking about VCU: How you preform in the tourny has nothing to do about your resume getting into the tourny. Which is complete HORSESHIT. Bilias needs to try to give VCU and the mid major programs some respect and stop making excuses. Bilias check whats happened in the Tourney the last 5 years, HELLO its changed. Mason, Davidson, Butler, VCU...every year now a mid major is whipping major ass in the tourney. Not just hey we won 1 lets celebrate...expectations are higher.

Ive never seen a commentator and so called expert lose some much respect nationally so quickly. At least Digger and Vitale talk about the positive of VCU and dont make bullsh*t excuses. Bilias kept saying after the win, "FSU just missed too many open shots, how to miss so many open looks?" Hey Bilias effing dumbass, you dont know FSU has done that allllllll year, thats there MO: poor offensively, great deffensively. How bout giving a little credit to VCU just shredding that D, and then just shut the f*ck up?

I could care less about VCU, so I'm not nearly as passionate as you are on this one, but Bilas needs to tuck his tail here. He absolutely trashed VCU and the selection committee on selection Sunday. Now the team who's presence he so vehemently protested is dancing in the Elite Eight. Jay, would it kill you to say, "I was wrong, VCU belongs."

Wow...you had Butler? Quake you should be up there with Dickie V, Digger and Bilias. good stuff

My Final Four was...Notre Dame, OSU, Florida and UConn. Cant believe I bought into the Big East hype and went with ND. I mean come'on ND final four basketball? I need my head examined.

GM tough loss last night...thats how the tourney rolls sometimes. I think Florida gonna be top five next year. That small point guard missed 3 huge shots at the end of reg and the ot period. tough to watch.

Side note on my hatred of J Bilias, he actually sounded professional and like he knew what he was talking bout after the games last night. Got some respect back for the guy.

I only picked Butler because I didn't trust anyone in their bracket (good choice) and their performance last year. They only lost Gordon Heyward. I have them losing the title game though.

I put Quake up their with Hasselbeck's kid

Matt Hasselbeck’s five-year old son Henry is a sports savant | ProFootballTalk

Danny O’Neil of the Seattle Times notes that Matt Hasselbeck’s five-year old son currently has the 103rd best NCAA tournament bracket entry on ESPN.com. Out of 5.9 million entries.

Henry’s method of picking teams: He usually picks the mascot he likes better.

Meanwhile, his dad isn’t even in the top half of all entries. Clearly Henry’s prediction genes didn’t come from his father’s side of the family.

I'll admit, I was a big hater on VCU making the tourney, and I vocalized that on this thread. I'm also a Florida Gator. Man I wish we had pulled out that game in OT yesterday. Florida-VCU would have been really cool.

Pretty sweet. Didnt when Mason made it no one had the Final Four on either espn or cbs or both?

VCU and Butler may be the darlings of the Final Four, but John Calipari vs. Jim Calhoun will be must-see TV | masslive.com

ESPN's March Madness bracket contest was played by roughly 5.9 million college basketball fans this year.
And guess what? Only two people picked the VCU, Butler, UConn, and Kentucky Final Four.

I disagree. The hotter team won today, not the better team. But that doesn't diminish the accomplishment. Congrats to VCU! Cinderella lives on.
