March Madness (Other Games Thread)

Is Huggins trying to be the next Majerous?

 

[BUHusky]

Does freedom of movement not apply to "Press Virginia"? WVU's press is a continuous series of hand checks and bumps.

Once you get into those later seeds, where no one beat anyone, KenPom/BPI/Sagarin is probably the way they should seed. RPI is meaningless in judging between those teams.

I would agree with that. And, to that point, the worst #1 (Oregon) draws Holy Cross who is 264th on kenpom.

I love the way WVU's frontcourt attacks the boards. There are a lot of fouls there, but that is the refs' problem. They are also good at getting putbacks.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

As physical as this game has been, the refs are going to reward that flop and send the SFA player to the bench? I take back what I said. The officiating in this game is getting as bad as Duke/UNCW.

 

[TRest]

Ginger beard is really good.

 

[Migs]

WVU is embarrassing to watch right now.

 

[Robertelamin]

3 TO's in a row

 

[jdb50]

Miller would have fouled out 4 times if he played like the WVU bigs. The refs never fail to call a foul on him or make some up.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Three straight possessions WVU passed the ball to nobody for easy turnovers.

 

[Mots010]

It's like God created this SF Austin team just for WVU. They just destroy the press so much WVU should just stop doing it.

And they never stop. They are a force of nature, 14 seed too.

Huggy's guys are being totally embarrassed at this point. Wow.

 

[James]

SFA has three players that could start anywhere :Walkup , bouncy #11 with dreds, and the big man Holyfield who was in foul trouble .

Having said that I wonder how much their brilliance tonight is attributed to playing a team with the same identity . Wvu was toast when I saw this matchup

 

[Marat]

WVU scored 71 pts against Kansas last week but only 56 against SFA

 

[B1GEast]

This is Madness, you got to feel for those WVU fans, that's got to hurt. I don't remember seeing anything like this before, I mean there are always upsets, but these lower seeds came to play and they mean business. The power 5 are getting it handed to them.

This is no joke, crazy

Big 12 has been pretty mediocre:

1. Kansas obviously smashed Peay
2. Oklahoma beat Bakersfield
4. Iowa State beat Iona.

But those were protected seeds. West Virginia lost. Texas Tech lost. Baylor lost. It's been a thoroughly mediocre tournament for them thus far.

WVU was flat out embarrassed and completely gave up over the last 3 minutes. Pretty shocking.

Wow, this may be one of the craziest tournaments ever.

I can't pull myself for rooting for the Bearcats, let's go St Joes!

NIU UT is the better game.

 

[tzznandrew]

UNI up 12 in the "We Beat UNC in the preseason" battle.

Michigan looking good as well.

 

[B1GEast]

Northern Iowa up big over Texas

 

[SixRings]

St Joes is shooting well. Little Mick has his hands full. Nobody cheers for Cinci.

 

[Jaker]

Bembry and Miles are studs
