@Len Bias Cocaine Surplus: Setting up UCLA-Stanford IV? How will UCLA find a way to cheat this time?

Stanford beats Memphis to go to the final four.

@elwood:

Just keep discounting them. Cal's teams play better with a chip on their shoulder.

@elwood:
So insightful. Really? They're bad at free throws? Haven't heard that one before.

@BigTenObsession:
And Iowa didn't make it at all. We can agree there's inconsistancy on both teams.

If Memphis shoots below 50% from the line again, they lose. If Neitzel shoots like he did in round 1, Memphis will roll. I think the Tigers will contain him just fine. Antonio Anderson isn't much of a shooter, but he can defend.

@Jay L.: Memphis is overrated, and the free throw shooting will bite them in the ass. No amount of reiterating MSU's loss at Iowa will make Memphis' deficiencies go away.

@Signal to Noise: You know, it was incredibly hard not to use "300" jokes every time I wrote about Mich State. I didn't really like the movie all that much, but the over-the-top aspect of it is ripe for humor.

@Jay L.:

and 103 against IU, who are out of the tournament, just like G'Town, UConn, and Gonzaga

@Signal to Noise:

You could say the same thing about Memphis. People keep picking them to lose, and they've still only lost one time.

Yes, I know, CUSA, but they beat G'Town, UConn, USC, Zona and Gonzaga along the way. Mich St put up less than 40 against Iowa.

If Karma hasn't bounced UCLA yet, then it's definitely not coming for that.

Izzo will be overheard screaming "THIS! IS! SPARTA!" to Calipari before throwing him and the Tigers down the pit.

Every time I underestimate Michigan State they keep winning. I'm not doing it again.

But they cheated against Purdue and won the game because of it! Where is my fucking karmic revenge?

46% from the line is an anomoly even for the Tigers. If they shoot their average 59% and CDR and Rose can hit them, they'll have no trouble with MSU.

@MattinglysSideburns: Blit Meat is located in the South Region as well, anatomically speaking.

@MattinglysSideburns: Well, then, that's clearly what's going to happen. I think getting fired for sponsoring the "Blit Meat" bracket challenge is probably worth it for the story alone.
