Actually, didn't you think Little Rock was kind of shitty in the first OT? They completely went away from what was successful at the end of the game and took awful shots, but Purdue was just as bad.Purdue had this game won and with 3 minutes left, they totally changed their game and Little Rock has been all business since then.
Yeah, Little Rock stopped attacking the first OT. They were matched by Purdue, who stopped playing with 4 minutes left in regulation. Just a woeful game ending performance.Actually, didn't you think Little Rock was kind of shitty in the first OT?

You know what was a big play in that game that will be forgotten, I bet, given what happened later -- Purdue was up 14 with 4 minutes left and Little Rock missed two free throws, but they got the offensive rebound. The ensuing 3 pointer led the comeback.
Same with Providence.So now we've got a late game in Denver featuring Seton Hall, a school with an alumni and fan base heavily concentrated in the Northeast, tipping at 10:45pm.
What a straight shit sandwich.
And the excuses when they lose to Gonzaga have already started ...So now we've got a late game in Denver featuring Seton Hall, a school with an alumni and fan base heavily concentrated in the Northeast, tipping at 10:45pm.

What? I just want to watch the game.And the excuses when they lose to Gonzaga have already started ...
You realize I'm a Gonzaga alum who likes to talk trash, right?What? I just want to watch the game.
EDIT: Also, you realize they're dogs as the six seed, right?
Seton Hall fan who is just happy to be here after the last decade. Just pissed off that after all the lean years patiently waiting for another tourney bid, we end up tipping at 10:45 (at the earliest) in the east.You realize I'm a Gonzaga alum who likes to talk trash, right?
I'm a BC fan. Stop complaining!Seton Hall fan who is just happy to be here after the last decade. Just pissed off that after all the lean years patiently waiting for another tourney bid, we end up tipping at 10:45 (at the earliest) in the east.
The 12-seed is nearly always the best of the mid to low-major conference winners and are playing teams typically ranked toward the bottom of the Top 20-25 who you can pretty much interchange with any team ranked from 15-35 any year. You're getting maximum effort from the best of the mids against teams typically from major conferences who are especially vulnerable or else they'd be a Top 3 or 4 seed.That was not an effective possession. The 12-5 thing is amazing. Every explanation I've seen of it isn't very convincing.
I guess that makes sense. Is the drop off when you go lower because, do you think, 4 seeds tend to be much better than 5 seeds, or because the number of good non-at large teams is just very very small so there are never more than a couple and they usually get 12 seeds?The 12-seed is nearly always the best of the mid to low-major conference winners and are playing teams typically ranked toward the bottom of the Top 20-25 who you can pretty much interchange with any team ranked from 15-35 any year.

That's how I've always viewed it.
Probably a combination of both without overthinking it.I guess that makes sense.

Why do you think Duke-Yale will be first?so, duke-Yale likely the first game saturday and the prime time doubleheader will be Uconn v Kansas and Indiana v Kentucky
They were rather dreadful in the first half. Much better this half but lots of starts and stops.Sarcasm?
In the past Duke has often played in the first game on Saturday or Sunday. Plus, its in Providence, so maybe early. The schedule for Saturday isWhy do you think Duke-Yale will be first?
As was his first. Our offense is so stagnant without him involved in the ball movement. Defend their 3 in the second half and we should be fine.BS second foul on Dunn. The announcers even said as much but also say that the chance Dunn took wasn't worth it. That was a clear great D play. Are the officials not worthy then?
Their defense keeps them in every game. It's a total team effort of intensity. It's tough to score on them.Wichita St. looked really solid in that first half. They talked about having a chip on their shoulder for having to be in a play-in game and it showed in this first half.
I wish we had our team from Dec and Jan. This version turns my stomach sometimes.Is that 3 air balls so far?
