March Madness (Other Games Thread)

[BugsyCT]

FGCU was tons of fun to watch in 2013 when they beat GTown & SDSU. Endless dunk-a-thon. This team's different but them going toe-to-toe with UNC is must-see TV. Hoping sooooo much they pull off the upset.

Time for a trip through March Madness past:

You have got to admire the Florida Gulf Coast players and fans. Way more energetic and louder than UNC fans. UNC fans should be ashamed of themselves.

They have a nice program going over there, and they play totally fearless. You have to respect that.

Wow Miami cant make a layup

 

[FfldCntyFan]

If FGCU can pull this off it will make UNCW getting jobbed against Duke worth it!

 

[FfldCntyFan]

This is beginning to remind me of the '98 sweet sixteen game in Greensboro. That UNC is playing a home game and their fans are so damned obnoxious, they hit a three to open the second half to go up by four and the place erupts like they just expanded a lead to double digits.

It is beyond criminal that UNC has an overwhelming home crowd every year.

I think the AAC should extend an invite to FGCU to join us.

Looks like halftime was FGCU's victory lap. Getting dominated now.

(How's that UNC postseason ban coming, NCAA? Still working on that?)

Buffalo hanging in there, but it's approaching "miracle" time. Down 77-72 with 25 seconds left, Miami ball.

EDIT: Miami win by 7. Great showing from a Buffalo team that wasn't supposed to be much this year. Bet you a dollar they're back in the tourney next season, and with a higher seed.

They just kept hitting shots, have to give them credit for not going away.

Wow, in the 2nd half of the Duke-UNC Wilmington Game, Duke only made 4 buckets. All their points came off their 43 free throws. UNC Wilmington didnt even throw 20 FTs I believe.

 

[BugsyCT]

UK/Stony Brook underway.

(Hmm. . . former Husky Steve Pikiell vs. UK & the Squid. Who to root for, who to root for. . . .)

Two really really good games getting going Wichita and Zona , and PC vs USC.

 

[Matrim55]

If PC wins, then New England will be a perfect 4-0 to start the tourney.

**** them, tho.

Add Kentucky plus Seton Hall later and that's four games I would watch. The 7 p.m. hour had basically none.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Wichita State should be up 12 or 15 with the way they have dominated this first half, and they are up 4. Not a good sign for the Shockers.

 

[amory]

Please just let Cal/UK lose.

 

[James]

If PC wins, then New England will be a perfect 4-0 to start the tourney.

PC fans need to catch this loss so they can be reminded Ed Cooley is a broke mans version of ollie.

Anybody see this?

Miller feeling the heat. Change your shirt dog, better yet wear an undershirt like a normal person

Stony Brook might not reach 30 points tonight. 3-27

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Not even ten minutes in and he looks like that? I hope for his sake someone spilled a water jug on him.

 

[BugsyCT]

Stony Brook might not reach 30 points tonight. 3-27

Yet they're only down 6. Amazing. But they look like the stage is too big for them. Sloppy basketball.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Miller is so sweaty because his team is getting thumped. He should be happy, because Wichita State should be up 20 with the way they have dominated this game. At some point Arizona is going to stop turning it over and heat up.

 

[Robertelamin]

No kidding. Wichita St should have a much bigger lead.
