Based on the fact I've watched 25 teams in 4 days run abortions of offenses in big spots... the coaching in high school must be awful and the AAU teams must be killing this sport because the possessions are impossibly bad.

I can't explain what happened tonight, other than sketchy calls and baffling play calling resulted in every P5 pulling out close wins over ever non-P5.
 
It's amazing (actually sad is a better word) how some of these teams get multiple possession leads late in the game and then just completely stop running an offense.

I think Oregon is marginally better. I just watched them play in Spokane and if Oregon didn't make two huge threes in the last few minutes St Joe's probably would have held on.

So sure they are somewhat better but ran up their resume against the most overrated conference you could find. There was a reason a three seed from the Pac 12 was a dog to an 11 seed from the WCC.
 
Thursday's slate is ridiculous.

Kansas/Maryland
Miami/Nova
Oregon/Duke
Oklahoma/A&M

It will be interesting how much more balanced the officiating is in 3 of those games than in the other one. I have a feeling that Villanova will find itself on the wrong end of a lot of 50/50 calls on Thursday.

Oregon really isn't much better than St. Joe's. If the St. Joe's of the world could get P5 teams on their home courts on a regular basis, you'd see them win a lot of those games.

You didn't watch too many UConn games this year, eh?

How did Dayton do against a team that shouldn't have even been in the tournament, just curious?

Oregon is a lot better than St Joes, but not coached very well.

I assume we're baking the coaching into the quality of the team. Oregon is more talented, but St. Joe's was as good a team--or close to as good a team.

St. Joe's is a team that impressed me. I didn't think much of them, and they acquitted themselves well. Too bad they couldn't finish the job against Nike U.
 
Oregon and Nova are very alike, 4 guard hybrid offense, only one post player. The front courts of KU and UNC will abuse both.
 
Final 44 seconds of regulation - Texas A&M down 12 to Northern Iowa
