March Madeness Day 4

[UConnSwag11]

Will Cinci live up to the hype? This is Cronins best team. Time to see the coach he is

 

[BugsyCT]

They better. Kentucky's the only big challenge in their way to San Antonio.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Will Purdue win today without Haas?

Yeah they have an “easy” path. But we’ll see, I always feel like they don’t play a tough OOC schedule and then they underperform in the tourney

 

[tzznandrew]

They have to win today against a wounded Nevada team. Then they get a tough Loyola, but another winnable game. They need to be at least E8 this year.

 

[BugsyCT]

I want to see if UMBC has anything left from their epic win to challenge K State.

If they lose by 20+ today should we still pass on Hurley for Odom? This is so confusing.

You're right about that. Time for them to put up or shut up. No more early exits.

We need the money.

Some interesting matchups today -

UMBC vs Kansas St - we'll see if UMBC can keep the magic going
Cincy vs Nevada - bracket is open - absolute must for the conference's sake that Cincy not screw this up.
Xavier vs FL State - can see an upset here, but I think Xavier advances to take on Gorgonzola
UNC vs Texas A&M - doesn't matter what aTm does, UNC will get enough help from the refs and home crowd to win
WVU vs Marshall - intrastate rivalry - should be interesting
Purdue vs Butler - Issac Hass injury will hurt Purdue - will see if they survive today
Clemson vs Auburn - watching Sir Charles sweat it out is good television
Syracuse vs Michigan State - no-brainer here. Spartans all the way. PLEASE! Can't stomach a repeat of 2016.

Hadn’t seen K State much before the game against Creighton. Very long and athletic. Lots of blocks, lobs and dunks on the break. Tough team for UMBC. Not saying who wins, but it’s no easy matchup for UMBC.

K

They better. Kentucky's the only big challenge in their way to San Antonio.

Kentucky has NBA talent, lots of it regardless of the seed and what happened early in the season. Diallo is a freak athlete.

Can’t wait to see what Purdue does without Haas. It’s hard to fill a size 22 shoe... this will show how good of a coach Painter is. Can he rally his team to believe they’re more than just Haas? Can he get his team to execute an alternative plan? I say yes and this is why he’s my dream coach... but no more crazy than Donovan, right?

 

[Robertelamin]

he may play. I don't know how effective he will be with a broken elbow though.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Cinci has an incredible chance to make it to FF. For the sake of the AAC -Don't screw it up Cronin!

 

[Mr. French]

These games and matchups are sort of boring to me today.

I thought yesterday’s matchups, and some of the games, were super intriguing.

K state, Clemson, Auburn, just a lot of teams that are either boring or I don’t care about.

Of course, I’ll watch all day and usually that means the games will be great.

 

[BugsyCT]

Loyola-Chicago's logo identity looks vaguely familiar.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Gearing up for another 12 hours of epic takes

And of course Kobe32

This really needs to happen. Screw tourney credits.

I'm all in on Nevada. @CAHUSKY bring me up to speed please.

Theirs doesn't scare small children.

I heard he was out for season... damn. That’s devotion.

If it was a 2 or a 3 that got hurt, I could see Painter adjusting. A lost center is tough to adjust to on the fly.

Incredible chance? The Final Four has been gift wrapped for Cronin. He has to get by Kentucky and a bunch of men's rec teams. There is no way he can lose. #Cronin32

Nevada wins by double digits.

I hear you... he has to totally adjust his game plan. And can they? It should be an interesting game...
