Cincy is just asleep. Looks like the NCAAs don't matter.

Dberry is a bucket , get him the ball at all costs

Nice call

 

[tzznandrew]

Deberry's getting hacked, too, and the refs are actually calling it. That helps, since Saint Joe's has no real post defender.

Cinci vs St Joes a great game so far. I am rooting for Cinci hard. We need to give some love to our conference mates! Michigan up big at the half on ND.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Northern Iowa should be up 20. Thy are going to regret some of the open looks they gave Texas late in the half.

Chuckles just gave Xavier the kiss of death.

Bembry > hield or any other sg prospect

I love Martelli's honesty.

"The one kid is bigger than he looks on tape. The others are smaller. We can handle them. We can't handle him"

Martelli is awesome. There's a reason he and Geno are so tight.

Martelli is a character. Isn't he the one who said something when playing a much higher seed about their team having McDonald's All Americans and his team eating at McDonald's or something? Always struck me as a funny guy and yes, honest. A good coach too. You could definitely do worse.

Martelli is a great coach.

So going by the discussed in another thread RPI, KPI, BPI, Sagarin, Kenpom and LRMC.

The majority of averages were within 2 seed lines of actual.

Wichita State got a -5, Gonzaga a -4, Vanderbilt a -4.

Utah got a +3, ND got a +3, USC got a +3 and Colorado got a +3. See a PAC12 pattern?

Add in Oregon State with a plus 5 or 6 and that's 4 overseeded PAC12 teams.

Quoting myself just to save time typing.

Three of five overseeded teams are out, and ND is down. Utah being the exception thus far.

Two of the three under seeded teams won. Vandy the exception (who was bolstered by good RPI).

Barkley is such a clown . Switch to a zone? Cincy played a matchup zone the whole half ha. Also how about they get some analysts who are actually watching the game to discuss it at half , chuck admitted he wasn't even watching.

 

[tzznandrew]

Martelli is a great coach.

May have been the best coach KO beat in that 2014 run. Definitely gave us the toughest game.

Martelli is a great coach.

Honestly think he's as good an in-game coach as there is in college hoops, save for Larry Brown.

Yeah, in terms of a one-off, I'd put him up against Izzo, Donovan or Calipari any day.

Hoiberg & Wright are a cut below IMO.

Didn't Kenny suggest it, though? Barkley just agreed.

He knows way more about basketball than all of us but he sure doesn't act like it sometimes. He gets away with everything because he's hilarious.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Northern Iowa falling apart. Texas could blow this open if UNI doesn't figure out how to score.

 

[James]

Yeah they both were clueless . I'm guessing they were watching Michigan but what's the point of Kenny and Charles talking about a game they weren't even watching ? It's embarrassing

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Northern Iowa looks shell shocked. They look like they have already lost.

fear the Hawk!

Cincy's defense hasn't been that bad: St. Joe's just can't miss. Hands are in their face.

And then mental errors, like the Ellis interference, really ruin what little momentum they might generate.
