NCAA Tournament Game Thread-Day 4, Sunday

- Start date
I figured it would come down to that last trip down the court by SFA. Seems like the plan was always to put the ball in Walkups hands but that was crazy given there was time on the clock and they could have gotten a quick shot followed by the last shot.

Committee proving one thing this year. They didn't see a bunch of high seeded teams play. Crazy that SFA plays like that as a 14.
Yup. Often the difference between team who's been there before and the fresh face. March Madness does it to you.
SFA shouldn't have been a 14. Pomeroy had them 33rd in the country---better than ND.
Better to be the lower seed who came up just short than the higher seed that got upset. Been on both ends and the feeling is much worse for the latter than the former.
Keep your chin up. What SFA did this year will help the school out tremendously in the future
Oh joy, another apparent blowout. Well, at least it's only a little less than an hour until the next game.
Friars had to play UNC in Raleigh with refs wearing powder blue undies. Welcome to opening weekend.
Hoping OU foul trouble will become a big factor. They're doing a much better job on the boards this half.
See, they waited until the next game started to make it interesting. Now that the other game is in halftime, Oklahoma will have a ten point run. That's how they get you. Fuck CBS.
He's the guy I want in Boston if we don't jump into the top 3. He won't be a superstar, but he'll be a good pro right away.
Boeheim whines about everything so you can miss it when he makes a good point, but I've always agreed with him that the entire tournament should be bracketed to be played on neutral courts (except the final four obviously).
A 6-8 guy who can shoot like Hield and play adequate D should have a fine career in the pros, but he simply doesn't have the quickness and raw athleticism of, say, Kevin Durant.
Put another way: Derrick Rose was the NBA's MVP and LeBron was playing in the Finals when they were Hield's age. Hield is a fine player, but he's on a different plane talent-wise than those guys.
Good run by Maryland and the video signal from the truck at the NIU/TAM died so its the studio crew talking and filling time.
Hield is going to have trouble getting into the paint and finishing against quicker and longer defenders. He isn't a blow by guy at the college level and reminds me of Marcus Smart is using his physical maturity against smaller and weaker college players to finish in the paint. At the next level I can see him being a 3 and D guy or maxing out to someone like a Hersey Hawkins for those who remember him. I like him to be an NBA player but not a high lottery guy who is going to make a major impact.
Got home just in time to turn on the biggest collapse I've seen in a long, long time by Northern Iowa.
I hate A&M. Today sucks.
