NCAA Tournament Saturday Game Thread

[ScubaSteveAvery]

Taylor has had a hell of a game for Utah. Set up a great play for 2.
 
Edit: Goodnight Georgetown. 

 

[canderson]

OK someone explain how utah lost so many regular season games? SFA and Georgetowns are good teams. Utah looks strong.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Pac12 is underrated

Sfa and Georgetown play in weak conferences

Only two losses out of conference, both to top 20 teams, and it turns out the Pac-12 is really good?

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

6 of their 8 losses are to Arizona, ucla, Kansas, Oregon

Only one bad loss in wash

I disagree that they have a lot of losses.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

The Meeks shall not inherit the court

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Free Hicks

He's not hurt, right?

 

[jon abbey]

All ten ACC and Pac-12 teams are still alive.

 

[DukeSox]

Utah is a bullshit 5 seed

I now feel like SFA got fucked by facing them. Thanks, NCAA.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Dear Roy, free Hicks

 

[SLC Sox]

Utah really looked like shit the last few weeks of the season and dropped a few seeds. Apparently they've got their rhythm back though. Beating Duke would be just a dream come true.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Nice shot JP

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Arkansa can't defend them in half court without fouling.

 

[Ed Hillel]

wow, that free throw stroke by Jones lol.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Fuck that guy.

 

[RedOctober3829]

What took you guys so long on this one?

WHY IS MARK CUBAN SO AWKWARD IN THAT COMMERCIAL!?!?
 
WHY AM I TYPING IN CAPS!?

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Why is Arky trapping a 4 guard offense?

I hope they have some new commercials next week. The Cadillac one makes me pine for Rob Lowe.

I'm very partial to the BMW X5 commercials with the batshit crazy Grandma in the back seat....

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Definitely not goal tending. Maybe BI, but I don't think so.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Seemed he touched the ball before it hit the backboard. Bad call I think.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Hideous call

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

If somehow this goes to OT, UNC is gonna need BROCKHOLT! To field a five man team.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

With the way the Unc bigs are fouling out, Roy is going to go to a 5 corners offense

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Dumbass

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

End of game dumbassness continues

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Simmons in the doghouse?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I think a UNC v. Arizona regional final in the Poulan Weed-Whacker (tm) West bracket presented by Purina Cat Chow (tm) could be a pretty cool game to watch.

 

[Greg29fan]

ACC in the mf'ing house

 

[Ed Hillel]

I have to peeee

 

[Infield Infidel]

I think I'm a wisconsin fan now. Cattywampus!

Hideous call

Except for the part where he hit the rim. So, the call was the right one.

Not that one. (for me) The foul on Brice Johnson. 

 

[JShams]

Not that one. (for me) The foul on Brice Johnson.

Gotcha. My bad.

 

[Greg29fan]

Refs were absolutely putrid both ways in the second half.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Except for the part where he hit the rim. So, the call was the right one.

What rule does touching the rim violate?

It's only BI if the ball was on the rim or in the basket when the basket is touched, which wasn't the case here. The only way to explain the call is the ref thought the ball hit the backboard before it was touched.

 

[Ed Hillel]

You leave Tom Brady out of this!

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I think you have to be rooting for the Irish here if you want to see someone have a shot at knocking off Kentucky.  The Irish have the kind of guards in Grant and Jackson that can penetrate and dish, and the bigs to finish against the Wildcats.  Butler would literally get blown out of the building.  Every single one of Jones' shots would get thrown into the 40th row by Stein and Towns. 

 

[Infield Infidel]

Feels like it's been 55-55 for half an hour

 

[Ed Hillel]

Oh my...

 

[Couperin47]

2 teams vying to see which can out-choke the other

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Are you serious?  Double dribble.  Wow, good call.  

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Isn't it a basket interference if you slap the backboard when the ball hasn't missed yet?

 

[Catcher Block]

Can't believe the ref was able to make that call. Really solid job.
 
Hard to believe more time isn't being added...

 

[Ed Hillel]

LOL
 
SHould be some time left.

 

[sime]

Wow. Tuned in at 20 seconds for the first time all tournament.  Instantly hooked.

 

[Catcher Block]

Fuck me, that was a fantastic play on the switch.
