March 17 Non-UConn games thread

Mercer failing to convert on some layups could bite them

 

[nwhoopfan]

Okay, finally gonna let the clock wind down. 86-72 final.

 

[LETTERL]

Georgia leads Mercer, 56-53..3:43 left. Mercer ball when play resumes.

Buffalo up almost 30. Did USF just flat out quit in the 2nd half? Embarrassing showing for them.

 

[JordyG]

USF losing to Buffalo is an upset, but not so bad. The Buffs are a good team. Losing by 25 or so is an embarrassment, and not a particularly good advertisement for the AAC.

 

[Blueballer]

SO happy for QU . Great performance.

Not at all.

I still am convinced last years team fell down 17 to Mississippi State because of how poor the AAC prepared them.

I think South Florida was worried too much about being in UConn's bracket and not worried about who their opponent was.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Has UConn scored 100 against USF this year? Buffalo just did. Ouch.

 

[Blueballer]

For as much talent as South FL has they have really underperformed in the Tournament.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ohio St. wins 87-45. Maybe they played some defense today?

 

[Vowelguy]

The ACC and SEC are supposed to be so brutal UConn wouldn't survive playing in them.

Nobody says that.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Raise your hand if you correctly predicted both the men's and women's teams from Buffalo would win their 1st round games by 20+. Wow!

102-79 final against USF.

The only people worried about a USF - UConn matchup were in this board.

And they will complain loudly again the next time USF is in UConns bracket, even though they’ve yet to come close to playing each other.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Only 11 points for Mitchell today but 7 assists.

I would rather just give credit to Buffalo for . Those top 2 teams from the MAC both very potent offensively. Buffalo scored over 90 points in the last 3 quarters today.

 

[IWearShoes]

The ACC and SEC are supposed to be so brutal UConn wouldn't survive playing in them. Georgia and Miami really showing that's the case today.

I don't know any knowledgeable SEC or ACC fans who believe this. Sounds like half truths to fire up the troops.

Not at all.

Good teams from tough conferences lay eggs in the NCAA tournament *all the time*.

Was it the ACC's failure to prepare the Virginia men's team that caused them to lose by 20 to UMBC?

 

[LETTERL]

I wanted a good game between Georgia and Mercer...and both teams delivered. Gutsy effort by the Bears.

 

[j66kicker]

Yes, 100-49 on Jan 6

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Nobody says that.

You don't read other boards and social media, apparently.

Knowledgeable is in the eye of the beholder but it's stated a lot.

Read this thread.

Fargas at LSU has nowhere near the talent that Holly does at Tennessee. Not really a fair comparison IMO.

Also saw a note about this game where Fargas benched her starting center for some violation for this game and then they got dominated in the post. No idea about the issue but I do respect coaches that bench players for violations for bowl or tournament games even if it weakens their chances.

 

[mbr33ct]

Watching 2 games. Sound on the Bobcats/Miami game, the USF travesty on other. Seemed USF were trading 2 to Buffalos' 3's....and swear Buffalo was shooting 95%, could not miss. What happened to USF's defense, non-existing. What a disappointment for the Bulls. I was one that made mention of the committee putting the only 2 AAC teams in the same bracket. I will never argue another bracket the committee puts together.
