Sunday NCAA Tournament Game Thread

[Dollar]

Have the refs just been really paranoid this tournament, or are the clock operators really fucking incompetent?
 
edit:  And yes, it can definitely be both.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I think the ref just scolded Nantz.  Nice.

it is definitely both. A few times the clock never stopped. But then some times they went back and looked at something like 0.2 being lost which happens every stoppage. Also I noticed they added way more time than they should. Clock stops when the ref's hand goes up they were going back and stopping it at the point of the foul.

That dunk...

 

[LuckyBen]

And boom goes the dynamite


Stare that down Stein!!!

 

[DukeSox]

Would love to see W state win it all

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

holy s**t, Kentucky is playing pretty well and still down 8 or 9.
 
Early and Cotton are Rudy Gay and Avery Bradley on steroids, respectively.
 
 
Randle doing his best Chris Webber imitation, but not good enough.

 

[mabrowndog]

What a great half of basketball. Kentucky's playing much better than I expected to see.
 
But man, Wichita is just superb. Deep, talented, experienced, versatile, disciplined.
 
All they need is the meanness and anger of mid-80s Georgetown, and they'd be downright frightening.

 

[RedOctober3829]

This game is why I love this tournament.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

if the Shockers are playing most teams in the country,. someone without Kentucky's athleticism, they're up 20.
 
 
Cauley Stein, Randle, and Early are all improving their stock immensely, IMHO.

:lol: Hello, friend.

If I ever meet the douchebag who sings the wretched "I'm Ten Feet Tall" song on that horrible Bud Light commercial, I'm going to rip his vocal cords from his throat with my bare hands.

 
That would be Afrojack............let me know if you need his address.

Is there a significance to this?

Missouri is Kansas' former hated rival

Thanks. Shit talking is always ok.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Randle and the Cats playing out of their minds

 

[ifmanis5]

Stay on you feet son.

 

[johnmd20]

An error there.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Candlestick maker

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

possibly the best cbb game in 5 years

 

[RedOctober3829]

This game is why high majors should be scheduling really good mid majors during the season.

We'll see if the senior leadership of Wich brings it home. Or will the Freshman rise?

 

[LuckyBen]

Nice job refs

 

[sachmoney]

This Kentucky Cinderella story is so damn compelling.

 

[johnmd20]

possibly the best cbb game in 5 years

 
Definitely a great game. Across the board. With a few ally oops, too.

 

[LuckyBen]

So they can change a foul call, but they can't change a wrong call when it goes out on Kentucky?

 

[sachmoney]

Randle came to play!

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Chris Webber having a day

 

[ifmanis5]

Randle > Wiggins

 

[johnmd20]

Randle > Wiggins

 
Wiggins answers.

 

[johnmd20]

Randle > Wiggins

 
You mean the other Wiggins?

 

[radsoxfan]

I know it's been said already, but these refs are just brutal.  Much worse than the NBA, which is hard to believe. 

 

[Deathofthebambino]

This is big boy basketball going on.  So much fun to watch.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

holy f*** this is 100 times better than the NBA finals.
 
 
Randle making a case for the #2 pick.

 

[Corsi]

Is this going to go down as an all-time classic game?

 

[mabrowndog]

This is one of those games we'll all want to have available in high-def on-demand a decade from now.

 

[bankshot1]

This is some Grade A kick-ass hoops

 

[mabrowndog]

Jesus, I absolutely hate this fucking KIllers song. Screw CBS and their "Official tune of the NCAA Tournament" bullshit.
 

This is one of those games we'll all want to have available in high-def on-demand a decade from now.

 
FWIW, I still have Loyola Marymount vs Wyoming 1st-round game from 1988 on VHS. It was 119-115 for the Gathers/Kimble Lions against Fennis Dembo & company. I'd kill to have something -- anything -- of better quality.

 

[Infield Infidel]

These teams are going for it. So close on the oop

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Is this going to go down as an all-time classic game?

1. Duke Kentucky (Hill to Laetnner)
2. UNC Michigan (Webber TO)
3. Kansas-Orange (Warrick/Anthony)
4. this game
5. Hoosiers-Orangemen '87 Final (game, players that got me into the sport)

In just recent years-Duke-Butler for the championship
Kansas-Memphis for the championship
 
This is a great game, but it still a round of 32 game.

 

[johnmd20]

Wow. Bombs dropping down from all over.

 

[mabrowndog]

Oh my Christ. They are shooting the lights out. On both sides.

 

[LuckyBen]

[ypioca]

[Dan to Theo to Ben]
