Sunday 2nd Round Game Thread

Considering that both teams are just heaving up threes with no real attempt at creating good shots, it's hardly a wonder that they are both shooting well under 40%
Jay Wright is not a Villanova alum, he went to Bucknell.Hey, you were the idiot who decreed this the greatest conference ever. C'mon, it was stupid to say then and its proven out to be even more absurd. But at least UNC/Duke have NBA players. Louisville, ND, UVa, all these other teams maybe have one player. Maybe that will change since K, Roy, Boeheim and Pitino will likely all be retired in a couple years.
UConn and all the non P5 schools will not exist as relevent in the NCAAs in 4-5 years. Michigan athletic department revenues exceed the entire Big East TV contracts combined.Same with the AAC. And they are next two in line. The proud alum high quality coaches who keep the mid-majors going like Wright and Ollie will be dinosaurs soon. If the SEC wants to be good in hoops, they can pay their coaches $8M or more per year and not blink an eye. And if the NBA decides to keep kids in school for two years, the NCAA tourney will eventually look a lot like the CFB playoffs.
And I guess my computer autocorrects whenever i try to type "duke"
Jesus, this is such an ugly game. Just lazy ball movement there by WS, followed by a quick shot from 10 feet behind the 3-pt line as the shot clock winds down?
I would say Michigan and Wisconsin were underseeded and Minnesota overseeded. (The Gophers never freaking deliver.) Northwestern may have had a beef at the 7 seed, but that was probably fair..
As I said, I'm not complaining. Just enjoying the ride Michigan has been on the past two weeks and hope it keeps going.
That's gotta be it. Wichita State hung tough, but that's the biggest lead of the game now, with time running out.
That would be so amazing. I was supposed to be somewhere at 2 pm (PT), but decided to be late. It would be a bummer if I was late for nothing...
Great coaching and preparedness right there! Monk with the high BBIQ play recognizing game situation and shot clock.
More great coaching and execution. UK totally prepared for those final two defensive possessions. Impressive.
Shamet Van Vleet with a great 59:48
FU committee for that matchup rematch
Kentucky denies unlike any other team
They just get better shots than you do time after time. Bad matchup for the Shockers
Hope Marshall doesn't go to Indiana

I've said before and I'll say it again, Cal gets a bum rap. What he does to transform freshmen into 15 year NBA vets is ridiculous, especially on defense. Very underrated coach, not just a "recruiter"
Umass will never get anyone like him again.
Couldn't agree more. He's one of the best if not the best I've ever seen in the college game. If I hear another "But but the Nets!" my head may explode. Coaching has minimal impact in that league as we've seen time and time again......one of the worst coaches last year won a championship while one of the best finished with the worst record. There is a reason why they are paid similar to a reserve on their team.
And why Cal is paid $7 million a year. He rebuilds his teams every season and meshes them together. That's a lot of coaching and teaching.
MSU taking a ton of bad shots. Giving Kansas room to operate, especially b/c they can't rebound.
Kansas might not win it all; this game illustrates why. But they have the most talented team in the field, and it's really not close.
It was a dumb call. It wasn't even egregious. And you should get to celebrate a dunk. Didn't matter, of course. Kansas just too much for Sparty. Ward getting his 4th ended the game.
Alright - Jackson might be our guy after that driving slam dunk, but what would we do with all the SFs?
