Friday 1st Round (non-UConn games) thread

Eh. The guy curled up into the fetal position with the ball instead of looking to pass or make a play. They deserve it. Time-outs are the worst part of sports in my opinion. I have a 9 year old kid playing ball and I cringe when I see coaches screaming for time-outs. Just awful.

Agreed. If the ref can't see that he's established possession, they shouldn't bail him out by granting the timeout. Doesn't matter how many teammates are screaming for it.

He's known on the Boneyard as Final Four Mick.

He's become a heck of a coach. But I still can't stand him.

Penny showed just what a “coach” he is by leaving Williams in with 3 fouls so early in 2nd half. Sure enough he hit his 4th less than a minute later. And then letting Davis back in the game when he was clearly dead. What an idiot.

Yes. He got stuck and wasn't able to substitute davis out late. He was a liability with that bad ankle.

My favorite moment from all the 1st round upsets was this kid from FDU striking this pose on his three point game winner until the ball went through the net. If a guy on the favored team did that, it would be boorish at best. When a 6ppg 32% 3 point shooter on a 16 seed ends his 19 point game in his home town with that move, it's fletchin' magical.

Nice interview. I think Coach Anderson has a new fan!

I still have no idea how they couldn't design an inbounds pass to a guy who is 7'4". I mean, just throw it up there! It's like playing keep-away with the kids.
