March Madness, 2nd round - Saturday

I can't remember a team that inbounds the ball so damn fast after a make. They fast break on makes.
 
Those two Johnston 3s that went in and out were probably the game

Though equally entertaining, the Ark/High Point and Vandy/Neb game could not be more different. Vandy/Neb had offensive sets and flow, this game is just free lance sand lot hoops.
 
Acuff is going to be a star in the NBA. There should be serious talk about him going #1.
 
Acuff is such a great shooter, can make every 3 imaginable, Dame-like

Anderson has killed High Point with stupid hero ball on back to back possessions. Game over.

Hoiberg really has something there now. My Illini buddy went to the game at Nebraska this season and he said it was the best crowd he's ever seen at a basketball game.

NEB is of course a BB school now while IND is a fb school

HPU gagged in final 2 minutes. Too bad, once they came back to tie at 83 all, thought they could pull it off.

If that Vandy heave went down - and it sure looked like it would - that would've been perhaps the greatest shot in tourney history. The fighting Hoibergs live on.

lol, "High Point has to block out" when Calipari doesn't even send a defender in for the FT.
 
Calipari's jacket. Rick Pitino loves it.
 
With big NIL $$ on the line, players are taking these games seriously. Thus, we'll see less and less upsets going forward.

The KenPom fanboys are in for a test in the late games. KenPom declared that this year's SEC is the 5th best conference of all time. If that is the case, the SEC should go 4-0 in the late games. Let's see what happens.

Edit: For the record, I am rooting hard for Vanderbilt and Arkansas, because I decided I would give the "KenPom is all-knowing" argument a chance, and I went deep on both teams in a weird pool I am in.

4 SEC teams knocked out, Georgia in a blowout to a 9 seed, Vanderbilt in a respectable loss, Missouri wasn't close, and Texas A&M was annihilated.

2 made the Sweet 16. Arkansas beat 2 mid-majors, and Texas won two upsets by seed, but both teams they beat had serious injury problems.

KenPom calls this year's SEC the 5th best conference of all time. Let's see how tomorrow goes.

Emeka is on the CBS Sports late night basketball studio show. He is solid.
 
I wonder how sure teams are that they want Flemings over Acuff.
 
Many mid-majors played tough. HPU and Saint Louis played very well. The theme seems to be the P4s’ generally better athleticism, size and strength just takes it toll and wears out the opponent
down the stretch. I can’t say the format is broken other than any excellent small program players are getting yanked away by the big schools for green. That’s the big problem. As the adage goes, money ruins everything eventually,
