Friday NCAA Tournament Game Thread

[Dave Stapleton]

Ugh. Friars deserve better.

 

[ifmanis5]

Carolina Panthers clock guy.

 

[mabrowndog]

Win or lose, Cooley needs to have Batts & Harris write on the blackboard a thousand times, "I WILL BOX OUT DOWN LOW". Bart Simpson style. That's been their kryptonite.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Accurate?  There was like 3.7 seconds on the clock.
 
 
Thank you.  They put some time back.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

What's with the coach's hair?

 

[teddywingman]

Bad time out. Now he's got a chance to calm down.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Can someone tell me what the deal with Cooley's hair?
 
Edit: Evan and I really want to know.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I hope he bricks both free throws.  Brick, BRICK.   BRICK

 

[LuckyBen]

What's the word on the providence coaches head?

 

[Boston Brawler]

It's like he wasn't even watching the slow motion replay he was narrating.

 

[teddywingman]

fuck.

 

[mascho]

Damn.  Just as Kerr was saying Providence needed to box out...

 

[ifmanis5]

Turrable.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???   And they let time run off the clock again.  

 

[mabrowndog]

Like I was saying...
 
Man, yet another rebounding breakdown on the missed free throw they absolutely HAD to grab. Jesus fuck.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???   And they let time run off the clock again.  

Well, the Friars did....
 
Edit: not sure if talking about refs or Friars.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

What's with the coach's hair?

Skin disease.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

1) box out, 2) explain coach head

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Check the clock again bitches.

 

[Rossox]

Jesus, box out! The Friars really let this one slip away.

 

[Jerrygarciaparra]

Alopecia

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Why the fuck can't the clock guy do his job right?  It's not hard.  Whistle, stop clock.

 

[canderson]

Wheels coming off SFA. :/

 

[CaptainLaddie]

oh shit ha.

 

[Boston Brawler]

Wow

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Hahahah.  Perfect ending.  They can't control the offensive rebound.

 

[ifmanis5]

Fucking tease.

 

[mascho]

Jesus. Horrible for it to end like that for Cotton.  Game of his life.  

 

[SidelineCameras]

Cotton deserved a better ending after a monster game. Still congrats to a six-man Friar team.

 

[mabrowndog]

Wheels coming off SFA. :/

 
Settle down. They only lost their slim lead. They're still in this thing.

 

[EastCoasterOutWest]

Wheels coming off SFA. :/

Starting to wear down.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

survive and advance
 
 
good board work. Some defense for Sunday, please.

 

[canderson]

Settle down. They only lost their slim lead. They're still in this thing.

Theyre way out of rhythm, look panicked.

 

[Greg29fan]

Hats off to you PC guys, Cotton was so fucking good.  Survive and advance.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

DtTtB, I'm watching the basketball game, but that's because I don't know where to find the hockey game.  Do you know what channel it's on Comcast?

894 on comcast
 
sorry for lateness. pacing all half.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

What a gut punch.  They had that game won, and literally did everything they needed to win, EXCEPT grab defensive rebounds.  Even when they were in position, it seemed like every bounce went the wrong way.  Too bad.  I really think they would have had a chance to get by Iowa State, assuming they win tonight.  Whenever you have one of the best players in the country, you can be dangerous in the tourney and PC has that in Cotton, but they fucked it up.  Uggh.  I'm going to be sick tonight.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Great, and PC hockey is down 2-0 to UNH too.

 

[canderson]

Jesus Christ.

 

[Soxy]

Stephen F. Austin just completely shitting their pants.  Jesus.  Is that a 20-3 run by VCU now?

 

[EastCoasterOutWest]

A man's dunk!

 

[mabrowndog]

Theyre way out of rhythm, look panicked.

 
Well, that last three-turnover sequence was ugly for sure. VCU smothered them.

 

[LuckyBen]

SFA looking awful now. They need to get it together now or this will get out of control.

 

[mascho]

Theyre way out of rhythm, look panicked.

 
They really needed that TO.  That was a horrible sequence.

 

[EastCoasterOutWest]

That's my team!

 

[EastCoasterOutWest]

SFA definitely getting tired. Shots all coming up a little short.

 

[canderson]

SFA definitely getting tired. Shots all coming up a little short.

Yeah, the ship might've sailed. Teetering on the edge of a blowout. 24-3 runs will do that to a team.

 

[Drocca]

What a treat for those Providence kids (and the students too) to be able to tell their grand kids they got a chance to play North Carolina in the tournament. One of the underrated things about this tournament are those sorts of childhood dreams coming true.

UNC with more offensive rebounds (17) than PC had defensive rebounds (15).

This is funny.

 

[johnmd20]

VCU is playing like they have 7 guys on the court.
