Friday 1st Round (non-UConn games) thread

[Peacefrog]

Providence averages 22 free throws per game. Tonight they shot 11

I feel like we all knew for a very long time that their playstyle wouldn’t translate to March, but a month ago I wouldn’t have thought it meant a first round exit

Big East 4-1 in the first round

Interesting stat from the game, the benches from both teams combined for a whopping 3 points. Ack.

St Peter’s, Princeton, and now Farliegh Dickenson. Must be something in that Jersey Water.

Hurley grew up drinking it so I like how this story is going.

I feel like a lot of college fans knew Purdue was pretty overrated but not like this. 7’4 POY and you lose to the shortest team in the country that didn’t even win their conference.

Do I win a free Boneyard subscription for a year for this?

Bye bye chalk

Way too early but which highly ranked school do you see making an early exit (besides perhaps all of them). I say Houston gets an ice water shock once they get out of that tepid conference cycle. Who you got?

Does Larranaga have any control of this team? They are playing dumb and lifeless.

Marquette has to be happy and so does Duke

Marquette has to be happy and so does Duke

Duke is now the favorite in that region, basically even with Marquette. Tennessee and Kentucky also loving life.

Drake struggling to close out Miami. Had a chance to put them away but three straight bad possessions let Miami stay close.

Look at all the close games Purdue had this year and how few picked them to make the Final Four. People knew they were on borrowed time.

Drake - Miami might be turning Miami's way ...

 

[gsmooth]

I don't know why everyone seems to think Merrimack would've beaten Purdue.

Who knows whether they could have. I just think everyone thinks it sucks that they couldn’t be in the Big Dance due to that stupid rule

Lots of Hero Ball by Drake. Drake deserves to lose.

For historical reference, FDU lost to UHart, CCSU, and Sacred Heart this season.

Sheesh

 

[UCTitleTown]

Drake complete meltdown.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Drake handed Miami the game with stupid, selfish play. That shot clock violation was not the result of unselfish play, it was the result of selfish play. Rather than ball movement, cutting and trying to work together to get a good shot, 3 different Drake players burned 8-10 seconds of shot clock trying to go 1-on-1.

Way to go Sucklamakers.

 

[gsmooth]

Damn Drake pissing the game away with their dry offense in last 5 mins of game time

i had Drake in my bracket. Does not matter, Arizona and Purdue destroyed my bracket

 

[Kolumbo]

ACC still sucks

 

[alexd]

Miami finished on a 16-1 run.

 

[UCLJ0211]

My god Jim Larranaga looks just like Jim Boeheim

 

[UCTitleTown]

Florida Atlantic is the skinniest team in the tournament.
