2011 NCAA Basketball Tournament Men’s Semi Finals

Sunday was a great day for upsets.  As a matter of fact not a single #1 seed is left in it and the highest seed is Connecticut at a 3.  Of course your Cinderella story is Virginia Commonwealth which played it’s way in and has won 4 games since then.

Sunday’s Results

Seed Team Record Score Seed Team Record Score Region
1 Kansas 37 – 3 61 11 *Virginia Commonwealth 28 – 11 71 Southwest
2 North Carolina 30 – 8 69 4 *Kentucky 35 – 8 76 East

Tonight we’ll see all 4 men’s teams.  I’ll of course be rooting for the representative from The Big East, the one with the deeply stupid fight song-

UConn Huskies

UConn Husky, symbol of might to the foe.

Fight, fight Connecticut, It’s vict’ry, Let’s go. (go. go. go)

Connecticut UConn Husky,

Do it again for the White and Blue

So go--go--go Connecticut, Connecticut U.

C-O-N-N-E-C-T-I-C-U-T

Connecticut, Conneticut Husky, Connecticut Husky

Connecticut C-O-N-N-U!

We’ll start out with the matchup of the underdogs, Butler and Virginia Commonwealth.  Though Commonwealth out Cinderella’s Butler this year, Butler is no favorite and was last year’s shocker going down in the finals to Duke by a mere 2 points.

As for Connecticut it’s never a shock when a 4 takes out a 3 but I think they match up well against Kentucky and despite what the idiot commentators say The Big East is the deepest, toughest conference in College Basketball and has been for years.

  3. between UConn and Kentucky

    Coaches Calhoun and Calipari Share a Genuine Dislike

    HOUSTON – The contentious relationship between Connecticut’s Jim Calhoun and Kentucky’s John Calipari is perhaps the longest and most entertaining coaching feud in college basketball. It started so long ago that Calipari has held five jobs since.

    Some of the mutual animosity has thawed over the years. But not much. Even as the two prepared for their highest-stakes meeting, in the Final Four on Saturday, Calhoun referred to the coaches here as “my three sons” or “my two sons, plus my problem child.”

    Calipari recognized a reference to the actor Fred MacMurray, who starred in “My Three Sons.” Calipari sought out Calhoun on Thursday, telling him: “I knew Fred MacMurray. And you are no Mr. MacMurray.”

  8. And follows with another 3.

    Commonwealth 6 – 5 after 3:30.

  11. So, not much has changed actually.

  13. a lot of hands on blocking and shoving. Is that allowed? or is it just being ignored?
