Your Final Four Western Bracket Representative: UCLA
College Basketball March 29th. 2008, 8:51pm
UCLA was the wombat to Xavier’s guy from New Zealand tonight as the Bruins are the first to punch their tickets to San Antonio. UCLA cruised to the finish, winning 76-57. Darren Collison and Kevin Love each scored 19 as UCLA advances to their third straight Final Four.
On a semi-related note: Did you know that Kevin Love is related to Mike D? Pretty crazy, eh?

Did you know that Kevin Love is related to Mike D?
Does that mean that that “Famous Jewish Sports Legends” leaflet is growing?

This UNC game is going to be a bloodbath for Louisville.
March 29th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
If I knew it was gonna be this kinda party, I woulda stuck my dick in the mashed potatoes.
March 29th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Can’t top that, Gonzo, so I won’t even try. Ill Communication was amazing.
March 29th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
A bloodbath for Louisville?
As in UNC rolls, or the Cardinals do?
March 29th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Ten bucks says that Hansbrough pulls an Adam Morrison if they lose.
March 29th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
UL is too one on one to keep making shots like this for 40 against our “improved” d.
March 29th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
I think pitino just showed his ohhh fuck face
March 29th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
UNC rolls. Although I’m not looking like Nostradamus at the moment, since it’s still somewhat tight. But I can kind of feel UNC getting ready to pull away.
March 29th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
I think Dick Enberg has called Louisville “The Team From Louisville” two or three times. Wouldn’t it just be easier to say “Louisville?”
March 29th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
Ii didn’t know if Dick was going to make it through the opening statements. He stumbled once and you could see that blank look for a moment like he forgot where he was at.
March 29th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
And Gonzo: “Professor, what’s another word for pirate treasure?â€
“Why I think it’s booty.”
March 29th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
how old do we think he is?
March 29th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Anybody who gets a big lead on a Rick Pitino team would be well-served not to get too excited about being up on him early. (BTW, I have no interest in either team)
March 29th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Berman: The Carindals FROOOMMMMMMMMM
Jackson: Looouuu-Ville.
March 29th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
MOTHER FUCKING REBOUND!
geez, Ville
March 29th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Hansbrough is way too active for Padgett. Padgett can’t get open to even get a touch
March 29th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
On a side note, how weird/disturbing is this “Five dollar foot long” Subway ad campaign? There are just too many jokes to make here…
March 29th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
RKM, Women make those motions to me all the time.
March 29th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
tbl your #50 pick for Ginyard is looking better and better. He’s just everywhere. Ellington is becoming very dangerous with more games
March 29th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
I used the “5 dollar foot long” pick up line last night. Worked like gang busters if gang busters meant awkward stares and people snickering at not knowing what I was talking about.
The Ville just looks one step behind on every possession.
March 29th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
I get the feeling that the Ville will never be able to get closer than 6 in the 2nd half. UNC is a well oiled machine.
/analyst cliches
March 29th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
DJ Augustin might in fact be a robot. Did he ever blink??
March 29th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
Diesel, you think Ville can get within 6.5? My dumbass bet against UNC……
March 29th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
I was at the big 12 tourney a couple weeks back and watched augustin and abrams duel in a free throw contest in the College Basketball Experience building connected to the Sprint Center in Kc and Augustin hit 32 in a minute and Abrams hit 28. Incredible.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
As much as I hate em, I took Texas to win it all in brackets
March 29th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
if those two are on it’s over. Abrams looks to be over shooting mini slump now. Augustin is just so poised all of the time
March 29th, 2008 at 10:19 pm
Playin in TEX made my decision. However, I don’t see anyone stoping UNC/UCLA right now.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Wilson, that’s a pretty sweet story.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Somebody should tell Hansbrough these aren’t ACC refs, so he can’t manufacture foul calls w/ that little shimmey everytime he goes up for a shot underneath. Play some real bball, Tyler.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:24 pm
it was the first day of the tourney and actually they have rims set up at 10, 9,8,7,and 6 feet for kids to try to dunk on also, and achtley and damon jones were playing godzilla on the 8 and 7 foot rims. Looked crazy man. It’s a neat place. Barnes put a quick end to them jacking around with the dunking though.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
nolan084, amen to that. That is the worst gimmick going in college hoops right now. It’s also why I thinks he’s going to be an awful pro.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Just proves we’re all kids at heart, and there’s always one dickhead tryin to ruin the fun
March 29th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
wow T got that one
March 29th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
I agree rkm, just not sold on him……..helluva follow up though.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
I think that he’s just so far ahead of everybody with effort and preparation and that amazes everybody. Can’t fault him for that, but preperation and effort will only get you so far in the nba I suppose.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Forgive Dick Enberg for a moment - he wasn’t wearing his bib and he needs to clean up all the Hansbrough stuff on his face after that rim job.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
+1 TBL, nice
March 29th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
Wow, hell of a game, , tons of mistakes from Enberg, GREAT atmosphere. Couldn’t ask for more.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
This is an impressive run, but Lawson will be back soon
March 29th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
Gotta love the leadin to commercial, “Nobody finishes better when they get it under the basket.”
March 29th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
How many padgett brothers are there?
March 29th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Glad I was wrong, I got the Ville in my high payout office bracket
March 29th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
Anybody got a count of how many times that 5 foot subway commercial has played? over/under 15???
March 29th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Is this just a louisville tease, or the real thing?
Green and Thompson have four, Hansbrough’s getting away with all kinds of shit, and the Cards are only down 4.
Got em at 6.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
How many fucking foul is Hansbrough going to commit and not have them called????
March 29th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Yeah, what TBL said.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
Dick Enberg has lost his marbles. TH has 9 assists? “I was looking at the wrong line”
March 29th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
Hahahaha… I was just about to post that, TBL. Dear god.
And the Hansbrough drooling continues. He just listed his UP TO DATE point total for his career at North Carolina.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
Did you guys know that Hansbrough never takes a play off? Because, Tyler Hansbrough never takes a play off.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
espn.com says that UL shoots 65.9% free throw for the year. Will that decide it?
March 29th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
Padgett your fucking horrible
March 29th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
Uh-oh. Louisville is starting to look a little nervous–that Padgett bobble was a real case of shaky hands. Pitino needs to calm them down during this TO.
March 29th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Pitino looks like he could pull a flask out of that suit jacket
March 29th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
I’m in the heart of Tobacco Road, so I’ve had to live with listening to grown men drool over Hansbrough for three years. And the assault he’s getting away with tonight is no anomaly. You guys are only getting a small taste of it.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Hey at least we get a game that lives up to it’s billing. Last night was a joke. Well all but Curry continuing to dominate. At this pace my speakers in the tv will be blown and I’ll be passed out before being able to go out.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Gosh Louisville needed a PG on that possession. Down 5, with the ball … and they turn it over. Gimmie a break.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:04 pm
Earl Clark, i love you, and you’ve got the makings of a great pro, but three travels in the last 5 minutes have been crushing.
And Hansbrough? Well, if he’s going to make 18 footers …
March 29th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
DAGGER!!!!!
March 29th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
If Hansbrough and Love make it all the way to the Finals, the CBS Hype Machine could supernova
March 29th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
I
HATE
CAROLINA
March 29th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
So I leave my office at the end of halftime and it’s a throttling. I get home and it’s a game. I start watching and the Ville starts playing like ass. I blame myself for this outcome.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
WHAT THE FUCK DID BILAS JUST SAY ABOUT TYLER?
March 29th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Louisville gave me blue balls tonight.
Then, Tyler Hansbrough appeared, and i went limp.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Enberg needs to change his pants after that shot
March 29th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
More heart than ANYONE in America. Got it, fellas?
March 29th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Well, at least we won’t get the dozen or so obiligatory “Rick Pitino and half his team is from New York City” Final Four features this week.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Triston: You ass. I blame you too.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
“Tyler Hansbrough has a heart that no other player in America can match! And his will exceeds his skill!”
Dear lord. Even though I have UNC -6, PLEASE Louisville, break his legs.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
of fuck, enberg can’t subtract either
March 29th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
uh, 7, uh 6 uh, somebody get enberg a calculator
March 29th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
You know Vitale just excused himself from the viewing room in Bristol.
“Guys, I’m sorry, I need to be alone for 30 seconds with my thoughts and Tyler.”
March 29th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
I just threw my remote at wall after hearing bilas. Stfu!!
hey bilas how does hansbrough’s dick taste?
March 29th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
And, who does a still-bitter LSU fan who still remembers how the whole Lester Earl/Roy Williams/Dale Brown incident went down pull for if Kansas plays Roy in the Final Four?
Triston27, maybe you can help me out with this.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
Tyler Hansbrough could outcompete Superman, Batman, AND that legendary Hot Dog eating guy.
Oh, he’s a God in the ping-pong world, too.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
first jordan reference 50.2 seconds left in the game
March 29th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
Did Bilas really compare Hansbrough to Jordan?
March 29th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
big rascal huh?
March 29th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
That’s right. Hansbrough’s better. If anything, he *out-competes* Jordan, haha!
March 29th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Who will be the better pro - Tyler Hansbrough…or Tyler Hansbrough’s WILL?
March 29th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
If you need to move, don’t call movers, just call Hansbrough. He’ll will your sofa down 6 flights of stairs.
And then he’ll put the plasma screen on his black, and take your recliner under the other arm, all the while singing a song by the goo goo dolls.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
Two for two on my parlay, that’s all I care about.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
@ Jay. Lester Earl was garbage when he played here. He had more back spasms than Sammy Sosa during allergy season.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
just bought a house today. Anybody got his #???
March 29th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
@ Chitwood
I’ll take Hansbrough’s Heart
March 29th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
In a world still shattered by Brett Favre’s retirement, Tyler Hansbrough has arrived just in time to save sports.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
Chuck Norris jerks off to pictures of Tyler Hansbrough.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
@ Gonzo-before or after using the total gym?
March 29th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
@Nolan
Hansbrough’s Heart has already been announced as a starter for next year’s NBA All-Star game.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
Triston, I’d probably go with KU, just because he left you guys just in time to avoid punishment for those minor infractions you got.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Nobody in the history of college basketball has ever played hard…except Tyler F’ing Hansborough
March 29th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
My Beam and Sprite plays harder than Hansbrough
March 29th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
Jay, and you can’t blame KU for the Yukon he was driving. That was the coaching staff’s fault. All of whom are now in Chapel Hill
March 29th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
KU over UCLA in the finals
Save this damn post
/drunk
March 29th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
Yeah, every time I see “Mr. Clean” Roy Williams get praised as “one of the good guys,” vomit always comes up in my mouth.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
Chuck Norris jerks off to pictures of Tyler Hansbrough.
Just laughed. Ditto at the heart NBA draft comment.
I just looked up “Tyler hansbrough blowjob jay bilas” on red lasso and there were 47 hits. Hope to have the video in the next 20
March 29th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
someone on sportscenter just said, “Lays in the deuce.”
Russell Westbrook dropped anchor on the court? Sweet.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
But hey, before we forget that there are two more games left to play:
Opening day on ESPN (not the one that already happened 5 days ago) comes up in 20:35:18, :17, :16, :15…
March 29th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
Williams’ program was far from clean at KU. Neither was Larry Brown’s obviously. Odd. Both Carolina guys.
March 29th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Yeah, and whatever became of that supposed pick-up game with former UNC basketball players that he arranged for recruits?
March 29th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
He gets away with it because he’s Roy Williams…. dad gummit
March 30th, 2008 at 12:16 am
Hansbrough….Mark Madsen wants his praise back.
March 30th, 2008 at 12:34 am
wow TBL, your UNC hate shines through again. Still upset over that Indiana over UNC in round 2 pick?
