NCAA Tournament Friday 1st Round Game Thread

[HurstSoGood]

UVA is DONE. No bench and they don't know how to play with urgency. #1 seeds will be 135-1 in a few minutes.

 

[shawnrbu]

How is Virginia not pressing?

 

[eddiew112]

UMBC is wasting 8-10 seconds on every inbound. Virginia needs to press ASAP

 

[ifmanis5]

No panic yet. That's what usually does it. I think this happens.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Lyles is finishing everything, dan

 

[BigSoxFan]

How is Virginia not pressing?

Oh, they’re pressing alright

 

[canderson]

UMBC has to run out the clock, they won’t be able to handle the pressure by scoring.

Looks like I may not have to feel so bad about my Arizona pick...

 

[loshjott]

Mr. Jefferson is not pleased.

 

[ifmanis5]

As long as Steve Sarkisian isn't the offensive coordinator for UMBC, should be good to go.

 

[rymflaherty]

Hopefully UMBC has some good foul shooters.

 

[DJnVa]

Looks like I may not have to feel so bad about my Arizona pick...

We deserve Gus!

I think Gus would be dead by now with al his yelling and emotion.

 

[ifmanis5]

Good advice:

Someone somewhere is rooting for Virginia because of their bracket. Don't be that person.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Precisely. Odds still on UVA at this point.

Although, as time passes ...

In-game currently has UMBC -4.5 at my place.

 

[( . ) ( . ) and (_!_)]

These UMBC uniforms look familiar

 

[ifmanis5]

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Not that it’s any sort of excuse, but if Virginia is the number one overal seed why didn’t they get to play one of the #16 seeds that had to go through the play-in game?

16-seeds are automatic bids, they don't go through the play-ins.....those are the 11 seeds who are far superior teams than the 16's

 

[ifmanis5]

DAGGAH!

 

[HomeRunBaker]

 

[DJnVa]

Over.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Bye bye!!!

 

[Blue Monkey]

Holy shit. That’s all I got right now

 

[canderson]

That three tho

 

[Average Reds]

UVA is the one panicking. LOL.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Precisely. Odds still on UVA at this point.

Although, as time passes ...

Welp.

Figures when it finally happened it would be a blow out.

 

[OnWisc]

This is what happens when you don't invite Wisconsin.

 

[rymflaherty]

Holy fucking shit.
I mean this is go fill in my bracket in pen kind of lead now.

 

[The Big Red Kahuna]

16-seeds are automatic bids, they don't go through the play-ins.....those are the 11 seeds who are far superior teams than the 16's

That’s incorrect

Play ins are bottom 4 (two 16 vs 16) and last 4 in (two 11 vs 11)

 

[DJnVa]

16-seeds are automatic bids, they don't go through the play-ins.....those are the 11 seeds who are far superior teams than the 16's

Not true. One of the play in games was two #16s this year--Texas Southern and NC Central.

 

[BigSoxFan]

NCAA hoops needed this

*puts on tinfoil hat*

 

[RedOctober3829]

I can't believe this is happening.

 

[ifmanis5]

Okay, what will Nantz's call be? He's got dogs and retrievers to work with.

 

[The Needler]

16-seeds are automatic bids, they don't go through the play-ins.....those are the 11 seeds who are far superior teams than the 16's

No. There's two of each.

 

[OnWisc]

I can't believe this is happening.

At this point, either way it's legendary.

 

[The Big Red Kahuna]

Okay, what will Nantz's call be? He's got dogs and retrievers to work with.

“Do You Retreive It!!!”

 

[DJnVa]

Arizona putting UVA on their XMas card list.

 

[loshjott]

I know a few kids at UMBC. it’s about 30 miles away. I’ll probably hear them tonight.

 

[Catcher Block]

Okay, what will Nantz's call be? He's got dogs and retrievers to work with.

These underdogs went and retrieved history here tonight!

 

[Average Reds]

This is fucking glorious.

 

[OnWisc]

Typical UMBC. Survive and advance.

 

[ifmanis5]

They'll have to have some kind of rally in Charlottesville to get over this. Oh wait...

 

[rymflaherty]

I still print out and fill a bracket with the games...old habits die hard.
And fuck it. I’m calling it. Can’t bieve I’m about to fill in #16 UMBC and fill in a 16 seed for the first time ever.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

It’s funny when they cry.

 

[VORP Speed]

Straight up ass-whuppin’. Only UVa could pull off this level of a flop.

 

[canderson]

I wanna make love to this game.

 

[The Big Red Kahuna]

“Do You Retreive It!!!”

Oh ffs, this deserves some love

 

[HurstSoGood]

Those Retriever players are going to get so much action tonight. Mind blowing college sports historical upset action.
