NCAA Tournament First/Second Round Thread

[Ale Xander]

JFC that was the worst thing I FF'ed through, and thank god I did, I legit saved myself a heart attack. Started FF a couple minutes after the Manek elbow, and when I saw McCoy in (22), let's Panic. I could see it unraveleing. Saw a bunch of missed FT's and unable to inbound TO's during the FF process. Thought there was zero chance they would win after it got to OT. I guess they finally got mullet Mayer out on fouls.

Roy, please come back (Although Hubert did ok for the first 30 minutes, got them ready to play from the tip, but Roy wouldn't have allowed the worst team choke job (sort of) in history.

Deleted it from DVR but Im sure CBSN will reair it tonight. Maybe Tuesday or so I'll finally see what happened and why McCoy was in.

I guess, survive and advance. This is what happens when you put your faith in a Sooner on a transfer and then he's gone.


Sorry for the rambling. I'm thankful my systolic bp is under 250 right now.

Impressive tournament by the B12 so far. Baylor never quit it seems like
-----------

Oh and a Fu to the Committee for putting Wiscy in Milwaukee. The patriot league always gets a 14 or 15 and almost always shows up. With a neutral crowd they would have won. And Woodward is a great name for a lumberjacking looking lad.

 

[Ale Xander]

Baylor’s gonna lose. You just hate to see it.

This is highly impressive from UNC. I didn’t think they could play better than they did in Cameron. They are.

Guys, please be more patient next week.

Also thanks to all for the posts about the refereeing, I feel a little less awful now

 

[canderson]

First half of Kansas-Creighton was entertaining.

 

[mauf]

Wow, bad call. That was a push off.

 

[wibi]

Glad Baylor is gone. Was not looking forward to having a potential matchup after last years challenge

Didn't really have any choice down Manek and Love.

LOL I haven’t checked this thread for 2.5 hours and there were 3 more posts. GJGE CBS / NCAA

LETS GO CREIGHTON

 

[Ferm Sheller]

That bad pass with 1:00 left killed Creighton's chances.

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Fuck

 

[johnmd20]

Creighton down 7, 10 seconds left, why not try a mid range jumper.

 

[Van Everyman]

That bad pass with 1:00 left killed Creighton's chances.

Dude giving up a putback in a two possession game to run outside and take a terrible three was almost as bad.

Yes, that was a panic move. These kids are under tremendous pressure, so not too surprising we see this stuff. Oh well, they gave Kansas all that they could handle.

Yup. Easy for us to sit back, analyze, and conclude that slamming home 2 (and stopping the clock) would maximize Creighton’s slim chance of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

Two good games so far.

Completely agree. It was just a bummer bc college FT shooting is mostly terrible so with the one and one they really had a chance.

 

[Kliq]

The Captiol One commercial with Bird and Magic is dumb but very enjoyable.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Ian Eagle with the cowbell sketch reference.

 

[Kliq]

This is a great came between Michigan and Tennessee. Hunter Dickinson is a terrific college basketball player.

 

[johnmd20]

The Spiders are caught in a web of their own making. 1/17 from three.

 

[Kliq]

Michigan was sloppy with the basketball but played tremendous defense down the stretch.

 

[moretsyndrome]

Can't believe a Rick Barnes team is eliminated earlier than expected.

 

[54thMA]

And Michigan advances...........5th strait trip to the sweet 16.

 

[canderson]

That was the most Rick Barnes game ever.

 

[JimM]

Belmont v Oregon is the best game I have seen today. Double OT - at the moment with Belmont looking for the upset up 3 with 4.5 seconds left

 

[Minneapolis Millers]

Tenn was 2-18 from 3. And they missed at least 4 or 5 open corner 3s. That’s not Barnes’ fault. But Michigan was pretty gritty, didn’t force much. Fun game overall.

And back to the Sweet 16. Go Blue!

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

The Saint Peter's coach is kind of awesome. I loved his mid-game interview.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Yes, and… the interviewer’s follow up question to Holloway (“But you’re up one!?“) was shockingly useful.

To which he responded something like "I don't care. It's unacceptable."

 

[JoePoulson]

The Arkansas / NMSU game is ug-ly

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Doug Edert is a house of fire!

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Doug Edert is a house of fire!

He has a beautiful touch

 

[Catcher Block]

Doug Edert looking like dollar store Grayson Allen in those replays going to commercial.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

He has a beautiful touch

It wouldn't allow that three to rattle out, and the runner was exquisite.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Gonzaga needs another serious second half rally

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

St Peters is leaking oil. Need to find a way to hold on a for a minute

 

[Catcher Block]

I have to think an Antoine Walker special wasn't what the Murray State coach had in mind there.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Dollar Store Grayson Allen with some huge free throws here.

MISSES THEM BOTH!!

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Dollar Store Grayson Allen with some huge free throws here.

90% shooter misses both

 

[Catcher Block]

Ndefo blocked like 3 shots down the stretch. Unreal.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

St Pete's D is legit

 

[RoDaddy]

Man, St Peter's looked great that last minute - amazing poise for a 15 seed. Very impressive run to the Sweet 16!

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I'm going to the games in Philly on Friday and Sunday, but I'm not sure which game I'll see on Friday. Will it be St. Peter's vs Purdue/Texas?

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

I love when 15 seeds win. So much fun

 

[shawnrbu]

I'm going to the games in Philly on Friday and Sunday, but I'm not sure which game I'll see on Friday. Will it be St. Peter's vs Purdue/Texas?

That and UCLA/UNC (presumably the second game of the doubleheader).

 

[Ferm Sheller]

That and UCLA/UNC (presumably the second game of the doubleheader).

But won't one of UCLA/UNC and the St Peter's game be on Thursday? I'm going to the Friday game.

EDIT: Have to think it will be St. Peter's on Friday because Purdue and Texas play tomorrow.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Man, this Arkansas game is a rock fight

 

[shawnrbu]

But won't one of UCLA/UNC and the St Peter's game be on Thursday? I'm going to the Friday game.

It’s usually a same night doubleheader. Always assumed it was single admission for the two games.

 

[JoePoulson]

Worst charge call ever on Notae, brutal.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

It’s usually a same night doubleheader. Always assumed it was single admission for the two games.

Oh, that'd be great. I hope that's true, thanks.

 

[RoDaddy]

Wish I was on St Peter's campus right now - that looks like some party!
