PilotFan4Life has taken a hiatus from the board. As far as I now she is not going to Vegas this year. It is her spring break but still not going!

Yes, and I did follow through.....but as I recall it turned out to be just a soft drink and dinner in the HOF Room.

She may be fooling all of us, including her parents and brothers, but PF4L does not appear to be much of a partier, yet..... Rolling Eyes

Quarterfinal games going to form so far: USF over USD, and BYU over LMU.

SCU lead much of their game with GU. GU opened their largest lead at 5 late in the 2nd half. SCU got a traditional 3 point play, then a turnover. Down 2 with the ball, no shot clock. They scored to tie, but left 9 seconds on the clock. Stockton took the ball all the way to the rim and made the winning basket. SCU had no time to get a good shot, and that was it.

No Cinderella this year. SMC beat Pepperdine, and now faces a lucky GU, who just waxed them a week ago. BYU and USF square off in the other semi-final.

Probably a good year for scalping tickets for Monday's games. Could of made enough to pay for Nascar tickets, or at least cover some of the blackjack losses. Laughing

Should have stuck with the games of skill, like Poker.

Watched tonight's final between BYU and Gonzaga with a young (12) relative of mine. When I told him UP had beaten both GU and BYU earlier this year in Portland he asked 1) why the Pilots were not then in the final, and 2) why the final wasn't being played in Portland.

I was only able to answer number 2! Rolling Eyes

1) Same reason Arizona and Indianapolis weren't in the Super Bowl.

Special Team play?

I have totally forgotten the season except for the Seahawks last two wins.... Embarassed

So, BYU shot 0-12, 3-10, and 3-13 in their three games at the tournament from 3PT range. That's a cumulative 17%. What happened to the team that went 10-20 against UP a couple weeks ago?

There is a slight tweak to the tourney format for 2015, cutting out 1 day... a positive change for those of us who have to work!

...The group also approved changes to the West Coast Conference's men's and women's basketball championships beginning in 2015. The format will feature women's opening round games (seeds 7-10) and a pair of women's quarterfinals on Thursday, March 5. The remaining two women's quarterfinals and the men's opening round games will be played on Friday, March 6, and four men's quarterfinal games will take place on Saturday, March 7. The tournament will take Sunday off from competition before resuming Monday, March 9 with a pair of women's semifinal games and two men's semifinals. The two championship games will be played on Tuesday, March 10.

Agreed. The extra day made it tough to justify. Any word if NASCAR will be in town the same weekend (7587?).
