March Madness Day 2 Thread

[the Q]

Chattanooga was a tough loss. Watch the missed FT again by Illini at 51-50, Cockburn absolutely assaulted DeSouza to get the rebound and score. But honestly UConns loss kept me from getting into todays games.

I just can’t feel bad for them

They played so awful

Even the missed goaltend, which was laughably obvious

They lost becuase they played stupid selfish hero ball, couldn’t catch rebounds, and missed 74 open layups

They had a pretty good look at the end - just couldn't hit the shot. Good effort by Chattanooga.

Chattanooga wasted a lot of possessions in the last 10 minutes to put itself in the position to need that shot. They should have been up 6-8 points with a minute left. They played too stupid to pull the upset.

 

[Hurleyman216]

Houston starting out shooting 77% from 3. Can they hold on to be the 2nd team in Round 1 to shoot 65% from 3 for the game?

Watching all these PGs we recruited and didn't get go off is so bittersweet. We would have been so much better with one of them. First Wong this afternoon, now Tyrese Hunter

Bones the other night for the Nuggets too. We targeted all the right guys but it's painful how it played out. Just as I'm typing this Hunter wins it with another deep three.

 

[TRest]

Hunter just killing it

 

[auror]

That Hunter shot was nails.

7/11 from 3 tonight and the last 2 with under 2 minutes to go and from 5+ feet behind the line. As a freshman. Insane

This is why I said in the beginning that Hurley needed to prioritize Wong and instead we went with Gaffney, and the boneyard was thrilled.

Tyrese Hunter was clear as day was going to be a big time player.

Our point guard recruiting misses are a big part why we are not that good.

 

[UConNick]

Couldn’t help but think while watching that ISU/LSU game that we could really use a guard like Hunter or Pinson and a wing like Brockington or Eason on next year’s team. 3/4 of ‘em transfers. There will be guys out there, and I hope Hurley now realizes how important (and just how quick you can build a finished product of a team) it is to use and to get the right guy from the portal.

This should be a really fun 4-game window.

Davidson - MSU 1 point game at hafftime.
UAB hanging with Houston despite them shooting 60% from 3.
8/9 TCU Seton Hall.
Get to see if Wisconsin and the Big 10 truly are overrated.

 

[BigTenFan]

Trevion is such a crafty passer and has such crafty footwork, but man he misses more bunnies than Sanogo. Fun to watch though.

Stefanovich and Gillis need to put out bolos on their shots for Purdue to make a deep run..

Would love to see Matt Painter win it. Excellent coach and recruiter.

 

[auror]

Obiagu and Rhoden have been abysmal.

 

[auror]

Colgate - Wisconsin looks like a game from the '40s.

 

[hasheemthedream]

How fun is this Davidson team to watch!! So well coached....would love to see them take down Sparty then Duke

 

[jibsey]

Davidson's big man is a stud. Izzo looks worried.

 

[UconnU]

Aikenless Hall getting wrecked by TCU is the least surprising thing to happen thus far.

"I hope Hurley now realizes"
How sad is the reality of hoping your Coach realizes what a lot of us realized for the last 2 years.

 

[UConNick]

Ugh refs making sure Davidson doesn’t have a chance

 

[superjohn]

Horrible performance by the Hall, Willard off to Maryland. Seton Hall will be calling Pitino and Holloway.

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

Terrible foul call.

 

[wheelerdog]

You have to feel for the Hall. Could've had a much better season with Aiken.

 

[Kolumbo]

How many different ways could Davidson get screwed by the refs, and still only lost by 1 stinkin' point. Just awful calls down the stretch.

 

[uconnfan68]

Wisconsin taking every home court advantage too. Some brutal calls (possession and fouls) against Colgate.

 

[UConnSwag11]

A lot of good offensive teams playing. Confident and fluid

 

[UConnSwag11]

Izzo got bailed out like no other

 

[superjohn]

Colgate is hitting bombs, unreal shooting.

 

[auror]

Wisconsin taking every home court advantage too. Some brutal calls (possession and fouls) against Colgate.

I wanted to pick Wisconsin to lose every round because I didn't think they were that good and didn't think Davis was 100% before I remembered that their first 2 games were in Milwaukee (1.5 hour from campus) and regionals are in Chicago (2 hours from campus).

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Davidson got totally screwed by the refs down the stretch. Really was hoping they beat MSU but refs killed any chance they got.

The charge call was brutal.

 

[gsmooth]

Yeah losing Aiken was a gut punch
