V For Villanova…
….V for Victory.
After wasting money watching one of the worst movies in the history of movie making, 10,000 BC, thank goodness the night was redeemed watching #12 seed Villanova pull off a huge upset taking down #5 seed Clemson. It didn’t start out too well when Villanova fell behind by 18 points in the first half and I was ready to call it a night, but they stayed resilient and closed the gap before halftime. Then they just came out on fire in the second half and took the lead before then minutes had gone by in the second half. I almost had to call for Jay Wright to be fired after he had a technical foul called on him with three minutes left and Villanova only up by four points and nearly cost Villanova the game, but thankfully the Villanova made their free throws down the stretch to pull away. Next up, #13 Siena College.
And since I am at it, let’s recap the standings of The Hedgehog Report NCAA Basketball Challenge.
The Hedgehog Report NCAA Basketball Challenge
1. Me – 250 points
2. Everyone Else – Less than 250 points
Congratulations to me for leading after Round One.
By the way, if you really want to watch “10,000 BC”, may I suggest you watch “300″ instead. They basically have the same plot line, but 300 is a much better version of that plot line….
First. I, T. Dougherty, am only 10 points behind. That’s what I get for falling for the hype and picking Saint Joe’s and Temple. At least Villanova (3 blocks from my house) came through for me.
Well, the Ducks didn’t deserve to be in the tournament, but it was painful to watch them choke. They missed 18 straight 3 point shots in the second half, almost all of them uncontested.
At least Villanova earned their comeback.
7 Big East teams in second round.
I picked 7 Big East teams to advance to the second round.
Unfortunately the one I picked against was, gulp, Villanova.
Damn.
And double-damn UCONN.
Free throws -whoever makes free throws win
Dave, that will teach you to spend your money on Hollywood. Personally, I refuse to support Hollywood via of purchasing their movie tickets and movie rentals.

Once Villanova started playing defense, it was like Clemson didnt know what to do.

I need a mulligan.
Hellybelly,
Could you fix me a good stiff drink?
sorry for your loss Duke
UCLA sucks!
Texas A&M got screwed at the end of that game. Foul all the way on the last play.
How’s it going, Go DUKE BLEW IT AGAIN FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW!!!!? At least Duke made it as far as other small teams like Siena.
Sweet 16 for Villanova. Maybe they will play Duke . . . oh, maybe not.
Duke always gets over seeded. 2 seed my rear end. Go Heels.
