March 19 non-UConn games thread

[LETTERL]

My goodness...Duke just blowing Georgia right off the map on the Bulldogs' home floor. 39-14 now.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Central Michigan over LSU 1st round (I realize LSU was missing a key player)
FGCU over Missouri 1st round
Oregon St. over Tennessee 2nd round
Duke clobbering Georgia 2nd round

Texas A&M w/ an impressive comeback vs. DePaul. South Carolina did what they were supposed to, in not very inspiring manner. Mississippi St. still to play 2nd round, shouldn't have too much trouble but you never know.

There's no possible way to spin this, SEC underachieved collectively.

Katie Smith is not a great analyst.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

But nobody’s made any claims that the AAC is a great conference, unlike some posters here who keep touting the SEC. The SEC was pretty obviously overrated. The tournament results speak for themselves.

Did someone here claim the sec was great?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Look at the CMU-tOSU score--41-25. Wow! I'm bashing the SEC, but the Big 10 isn't doing much either.

edit--47-25!

 

[SCspur]

Beat NC A&T by 11 and Virginia by 10. Pending Texas' game tonight, by FAR the least impressive performance of the #2 seeds in the 1st/2nd rounds. Were you excited by how they played?

Nope not at all but 28 wins is meh? The name of the game is survive and advance so winning is always a plus.

 

[LETTERL]

Unbelievable...Central Michigan has almost doubled-up Ohio State.

 

[toadfoot]

USF the team who was going to make big noise in this tournament?

UGA is a defensive team that doesn’t really have the scorers to deal with a like minded opponent.

It’s easy to believe no one is any gold but in fact these teams did have a season of work to get where they are.

Wait, so Georgia can only beat teams that can’t score! Got it.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Y’all think we are sad about LSU, Tennessee, Missouri (ha),

Wait, so Georgia can only beat teams that can’t score! Got it.

Evidently you don’t.

Not much was expected of the Big Ten. Only one B1G team was a top 16 seed, meaning only one was expected to survive the 2nd round.

And here's a novel idea: let's give some credit to the team that's winning. That was my focus when USF went down to Buffalo, and when LSU lost to Central Michigan. That's still my focus today.

I'm watching Buffalo-FSU, but what is happening with Mitchell??

 

[Vowelguy]

DISBAND THE MAC !!

 

[Plebe]

WOW. I've been extolling the virtues of the top 2 teams from the MAC, but even I didn't expect to see Buffalo up by 15 over Florida State, or Central Michigan up by 22 over Ohio State. WOW.

This is no longer the MAC's coming-out party. It's the MAC raiding and plundering the higher-seeded home courts.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Okay, I should give more credit. 28 wins is a very good season.

 

[triaddukefan]

They better call PETA to get down to Athens..... soon

Nothing, that's the problem. 9 points and poor shooting last I checked the box score.


edited--up to 15 points, 6-18 from the floor

now 6-22 and 3-11 behind the arc

Miss st struggled wih ok state earlier this year when ok state was missing a key player.

Frankly I hope ok state buries them. I’m tired of seeing that fluke shot by the midget.

Looks like maybe two road games this weekend. Imagine Buffalo, if they hang in, will bring a few and no question who the locals and UConn fans will pull for.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

South Carolina struggled wih ok state earlier this year when ok state was missing a key player.

Frankly I hope ok state buries them. I’m tired of seeing that fluke shot by the midget.

While South Carolina has in fact struggled to put away a lot of teams this year, I don’t recall playing Oklahoma State.

Classy.

Also, get your insults straight: you meant Miss St, not So Carolina.

I think your talking about Miss St. I have to agree though I really like Ok State and their Center, Jensen. If she and Goodwin could score like last time I think OK st supporting cast could provide enough for the upset.

Yeah you’re right, I’m my bad. They were taking. About South Carolina on the tv.

Nothing wrong with rooting for the lower seed to win.

 

[HuskyNan]

Duke up 53-26 over another powerhouse team from the SEC, Georgia, at the end of the third quarter.

 

[ASweet3781]

Scary thing is, Buffalo and Central Michigan have clearly been the better teams.
