I say, I say, I say, boy, this year’s team of destiny ain’t Gonzaga, … its UCLA!

ChabDog’s NCAAM Tourney Summary (Elite Eight, Pt. 2):

• In perfectly perfunctory fashion, the Bulldogs put an end to the Troj-enz with a blowout first half, and then simply go through the motions. Live it up Gonzaga, while you can…. your shorts are about to get John Stockton tight. #Bulldogs #Trojans
• Bruins get killed on the board and get outshot from everywhere… but win the war of turnovers… and win…. PS… Dwight Shedd… I say I told you so!

ChabDog’s NCAAM Tourney Summary (Sweet 16 Pt. 2):

• UCLA was lucky that True Romance’s Alabama wasn’t playing with that other Alabama from earlier today. This chick looked like she was spoiling more for a fight and had the firepower to back it up when it came to the moments of truth.
• Bruins drain the Tide with some strong medicine in overtime, and if you consider all the missed foul shots (11-25 or something like that/are you kidding?)” Alabama has absolutely nothing to complain about. They had plenty of free, unpressured chances from the line, and simply blew it. Give UCLA all the credit in the world for simply taking care of business and doing what had to be done … if if they gave their opponents a gift by not properly pressure the in-bounds play near the end of regulation. This is indeed looking like a team of destiny. #Bruins #CrimsonTide
• Hunter and Franz take matters into their own hands and dominate the semi-conscious Seminoles in a real inside job. Memo to Florida State — try working a little harder on defense next time to cover their tall guys with your tall guys close to the basket. #Seminoles #Wolverines
• No end in sight for Enfield’s ensigns, who continue to thrash the rest of the field. Watch out Zags, these guys are for real. #Ducks #Trojans
• Timme and his cute fu man chu ram plenty of jams down the throats of the timid Creightonians. But time to sober up, Gonzaga, as you face a real challenge in the next round. #BlueJays #Bulldogs

ChabDog’s NCAAM Tourney Summary (Sweet 16 Pt. 1):

• Buddy turned in a real duddy, while Grimes was prime time, Jarreau was juking and Gorham was gorgeous, as ChabDognosticaed. #Cougars #Orange
• The Cuse twilight zone was softer than the underbelly of Europe tonight.
• Another narrow escape for the Know-it-alls who knew enough to pick Ark. #GoldenEagles #Razorbacks
• End of the line for the Sister Jean Machine, whose offense was sputtering all night like a sick car that can’t get out of the garage. Take that Rambler in for servicing. #Beavers #Ramblers
• This was by no means a super Nova… just a super over-achieving Nova, and Baylor’s superior defense and overall athleticism bailed them out with a second half rush. #Bears #Wildcats

ChabDog’s NCAAM Tourney Summary (Day 3, Round of No Few Than 32):
–More organized and efficient Beavers outclass the Cowboys, who shot from the hip and generally resisted running plays. In the end, the scoreboard does not usually reward chaos, even if you have Cade Cunningham. Besides, the best player on the floor was actually guarding him. Go Beavers, go! #Beavers #Cowboys
–LUC wins going away, and it was anything but luck. Krutwig played real big, and the Ramblers shocked the gamblers with their poise, precision and spectacular execution. As for Illinois, they lost in almost every meaningful statistical category, as well as falling short when it came to the critical intangibles. Plus, they just choked. #FightingIllini #Ramblers
–Better coaching and shot selection, along with the on-court excellence of Buddy B. were the difference in SU’s narrow win over the ever-aggressive but sometimes out-of-control West Va. The bottom line is the Orange slowed the pace just enough to enable the Mountaineers to become their own worst enemies. #Orangemen #Mountaineers
–Mean Green shoot before they think and get roundly vilified by Villanova. #Wildcats #MeanGreen
–Later Gators … you were just to laissez-faire, committing more than your fair share of turnovers, which gave the hot shooting Eagles just the lift they needed to soar for the winning scores. #GoldenEagles #Gators
–Razors survive when Raiders forget how to make a couple of lay ups in the waning moments; Ark had better learn how to finish, or they’ll be stuck in park going into the Sweet Sixteen. #Razorbacks #RedRaiders
–Nothing too fancy from Baylor, other than a rock solid defensive effort and allowing its opponent to make an uncharacteristic parade of unforgivable turnovers and flubs. And as Wisconsin found out, you can’t get away with being so careless, when you’re the less talented club. #Badgers #Bears
–Houston barely escapes with its tournament life against a pumped up Rutgers, which appeared to celebrate just a little too soon. The Scarlet Knights had the Cougars on the ropes, but with the situation got most dire, the No. 2 seed’s best play, Q. Grimes stepped up with a prime time performance. Better luck next year, RU. #ScarletKnights #Cougars

ChabDog’s NCAAM Tourney Summary (Day 1, Round of Too Many):
–Rumors of Villanova’s imminent demise were greatly exaggerated; after the game, Winthorpe, no Winthrop, wished it could trade places with the winners. #Eagles #Wildcats
–No way these rather ordinary Golden Eagles were going to soar over Huggy’s landlocked, but covering-all-the-angles, Mountaineers. When the pace is so free and easy, the Morgantowners are apt to own their competition. #Mountaineers #GoldenEagles
–Syracuse works its Buddy system to perfection on offense, and on defense, the fabled Boeheim zone lulled San Diego into a twilight zone of long range lemons. A completely thoughtless, dud of a performance by the frazzled Aztecs. #Aztecs #Orange
–What’s the matter, commentator Andy? Katz got your tongue? These cats from Houston are definitely for real, and their coach is one of the best. Cougars rip a giant hole through the Viking ship using some deadly bucket shots. #Cougars #Vikings
–Rutgers proves a resilient and tough nut to crack, and after 38 not-so-wonderful years of failure, in the second round, they’re back! #ScarletKnights #Tigers
–Too bad for them that the Boilermakers could be better basket makers. #Boilermakers #MeanGreen
–The relatively star-less Tar Heels get bullied bad by the Badgers, and Coach Roy gets to limp back on Tobacco Road with his first first game loss. #Badgers #tarheels
–Gators survive to the Second Round after doing some extended hokey pokey with the Hokies. #Hokies #Gators
–It takes a while, but with Cade in cadence, the Cowboys finally figure out how to douse the Flames. #Cowboys #Flames
–Leave it to the Beavers, who were guilty of voluntary manslaughter after chewing through the soft Volunteers. #Beavers #Volunteers
–This year’s Loyolans of Chicago stay loyal to the school’s traditional values, which means the Ramblers had no trouble derailing the Rambling Wreckers of Ga Tech. #Ramblers #YellowJackets
–Bears had the Midas touch, as they heartlessly take advantage of a golden opportunity to quash cupcake Hartford in Round 1. #Bears #Hawks
–No laughing gas anywhere to be found, as the bewildered Buckeyes undergo a painful, and unexpected, oral surgery. #GoldenEagles #Buckeyes
–Raiders generally harass the dear Aggies, who clearly fell out of favor by game’s end. Lest we forget, Lubbock’s lads are getting mighty accustomed to cutting deep swaths into the draw. #RedRaiders #Aggies
–Razorbacks were by no means sharp… until the 2nd half got a little long in the tooth, but they still have enough going for them to give the old brush off to pesky Colgate. #Razorbacks #Raiders
–Cocky Cockburn stuffs the rock and there was no chance the Dragons were hanging with biggest dog from the Big 10. #FightingIllini #Dragons
