I’ve had players of mine play baseball there......they barely got out of HS....and UMBC was one of the only schools that accepted their dumb asses......So my experience is much different than yours......

I could care less.....I was just pissed and bitter that they beat UVM to get into the tourney.

University of Maryland...different story....great school...would be better though if they went back to ACC.

Yeah they have a tough road recruiting I think, they don't have the pull of a lot of "name" schools, it wouldn't amaze me if they make academic allowances for kids they think can help them athletically, because they're trying pretty hard to raise their name recognition factor.

Yes, agree....every school has a niche’ and I’m sure UMBC is a good/great school for many kids...the pitcher we have down there now seems to be doing ok. He’s a great kid...he just wasn’t known for his “academics”.

I think the fact that it is in/near Baltimore probably makes a negative impact as well. (Although I always had a good time in Baltimore.)

True
or Loyola, or Towson, but they are what we like to call “the suburbs”.

Go Nova

So, not much going on, how is everyone tonight?

**iceman** · 03-31-2018, 06:04 PM

Fuck, ya know, Loyola needs to keep their chins up. 2:00 to go, they're gonna lose. They did all they could. They did great, amazing. Bravo.

**BC.** · 03-31-2018, 06:07 PM

They just wheeled Sister Jean out.....it’s over...

**iceman** · 03-31-2018, 06:11 PM

keep your chins up boys

**iceman** · 03-31-2018, 06:13 PM

Class finish by both teams. Well played.

**iceman** · 03-31-2018, 07:02 PM

I'd root for Kansas solely based on the fact that Devonté Graham is from Raleigh. That's great, and it's enough.

totally separate from the fact that if Kansas wins out I win the pool. really.

Kansas has always crushed me, ever since Kirk Heinrich back in the day. I like to see them win, tho.

Looks tough for KU. Which would be fine for me except that it means it looks good for Villanova.

**iceman** · 03-31-2018, 07:51 PM

it's halftime. Villanova up 15. I say Kansas wins. You don't think so? PM me. Quick.

You're a KU fan and you're whining? Seriously? Fuck the fucking fuck off.

**iceman** · 03-31-2018, 08:07 PM

With that said, c'mon make me some money Kansas!

**hikesalot** · 03-31-2018, 08:17 PM

They never came to play. Not actually a jayhawk fan, I just tend to pick them in my brackets. But have made myself stop that craziness.

Didn’t see a thread for this season but Syracuse just beat No 1 Duke at Cameron!!!
