NCAA Tournament Day 1 Game Thread

AJ English. Big mistake. Gets teed up yelling at Iowa Sate's coach.

 

[johnmd20]

That technical destroyed Iona. Stupid by English.

 

[rymflaherty]

Shouldn't have gotten cute and picked Iona to go to the Sweet 16...Oh well...then again it's more fun to not just pick all chalk.

The halftimes feel longer this year. Forever.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Wow -- Connecticut really walked a tightrope there. It all happened pretty quickly, but the play where Colorado stole the ball down three and Connecticut stole it right back turned out to be the ballgame.

Pretty stifling defense in the second half though. Would be really cool if they could keep it close against Kansas.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Longest day ever today. 8:40 CST is taking forever to get here.

 

[ifmanis5]

Yale's got this.

 

[DukeSox]

Baylor is way more athletic than Yale but plays much with much less team discipline. I can actually see Yale winning this one

This is true of Baylor every year. They have awful presence.

edit: i'll show you my bracket. i have Yale.

Duke's run to the Final Four opening up like the Panama Canal

Duke's run to the Final Four opening up like the Panama Canal

Admit it you are terrified of the idea of facing us for the title

 

[johnmd20]

Yale is gonna wreck Duke.

 

[MuzzyField]

Princeton?

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Yale is gonna wreck Duke.

I wish I had the balls to take them like a wanted to

Edit: against Duke

 

[VORP Speed]

The safety school chants from the Yale crowd are going to bring the Dukies to tears

 

[johnmd20]

Baylor's last stand.

 

[wibi]

Anyone else having issues with the NCAA watch online site?

Pete Bell: Dwayne, you can get through college half-assed. Richard, you can get through LIFE half-assed. But I'll guarantee you boys one thing: sure as hell, I'll guarantee you this: you cannot *win* half-assed!

From "Blue Chips".
Yale ain't playing half-ass.

Clutch FT's by Mason of Yale

Clutch FT's by Mason of Yale

School record for Yale in the NCAA tourney by Mason.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Only one guy on Yale can make free throws.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Baylor so concerned with keeping Mason off the free throw line that they've pissed away 15 seconds.

 

[Sox and Rocks]

Only one guy on Yale can make free throws.

Since they'll be playing Duke if they win, it won't matter since they won't get a chance to shoot them

 

[johnmd20]

Baylor so concerned with keeping Mason off the free throw line that they've pissed away 15 seconds.

True but Mason is the only one who can hit the FT's. It's a tough call by Baylor.

 

[The Big Red Kahuna]

The Yale fans they keep showing in the stands look like a "who's who" of complete assholes.

Sincerely,
Cornell grad

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Is it necessary to check the replay for tenths of a second?

 

[johnmd20]

That 2nd FT. Yikes.

 

[Greg29fan]

oh an airball FT

 

[canderson]

This loss is so Baylor.

 

[johnmd20]

Behind the back dribbling with you're down by 2 with 5 seconds left. Nice moves.

 

[Sox and Rocks]

Things I never thought I'd write: Duke vs. Yale, and I'm not sure who the better team is.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

That was not an effective possession. The 12-5 thing is amazing. Every explanation I've seen of it isn't very convincing.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Is this going to be another LOL Texas tournament?

 

[Greg29fan]

Things I never thought I'd write: Duke vs. Yale, and I'm not sure who the better team is.

Duke beat Yale by 19 earlier this year and if Yale only gets called for 17 fouls on Saturday like they did today I'll eat my hat.

 

[Greg29fan]

Is this going to be another LOL Texas tournament?

It's LOL Big 12 (except KU), just like every year

 

[WalletTrack]

Yale!
Accept...Reject?
Great win.

 

[bankshot1]

great win for Old Eli.

Mason was nails.

[johnmd20]

Purdue was up 13 and went into the shell. Up by 1 now. Make it 4, just nailed a 3.

 

[canderson]

WOWOWOW

 

[johnmd20]

Steph Curry style.

 

[shawnrbu]

Brutal job by Purdue to have 5 seconds, 2 timeouts and not get the ball past halfcourt.

 

[scottyno]

thats why you should always foul up 3 with that little time left

 

[Zososoxfan]

That is what we like to call in the biz NAILS!

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Little Rock shoulda played OT like they played the last 4 minutes of the game.

 

[LogansDad]

Oh man, I thought that bomb was in for a split second.

 

[canderson]

Purdue is playing like the have money on Little Rock.

 

[Zososoxfan]

Conference allegiance is out the window when upsets are involved, GO LITTLE ROCK!!

 

[johnmd20]

Purdue had this game won and with 3 minutes left, they totally changed their game and Little Rock has been all business since then.

 

[Zososoxfan]

That is an absurd shot. Nails I say, nails.

 

[johnmd20]

Now missing the FT's.
