March Madness Round 1 Thread

Another 3 bounces out for Siena. Yup, that's it. Fun while it lasted.

It would be so funny if a 1 seed goes down after that was all said

Ohio State's Cinderella dreams have been dashed!

Comment on Twitter about the crowd in Greenville being very anti Duke. The Committee really screwed them in a way. High Point is even closer and they put UNC there too. Fair to say a lot of anti-Duke folks in that crowd.

Duke picked the site as the overall 1 seed.

Well this is a game I didn't originally think I had to watch. Although maybe I shouldn't, I'm sure the moment I turn it on Duke will go on a 20 point run

I feel like I am Duke's good luck boost unfortunately. They are playing better since I started watching and Siena blew 2 dunks, too

I don’t see Duke losing this game. Officials will be WWE level for Duke

Duke by 15

Duke picked the site as the overall 1 seed.

Of course. But they didn't pick an even more local team as their #16 seed, or their most hated rival as another Pod team there.

Wow...Boozer gets the most favorable whistle I've ever seen

 

[superjohn]

Nope - already seeing that as much as we want the cinderellas, they aren't playing out. I expect a lot of that. We're all hardwired to the upset desire and first round chaos as part of the charm of the tourney. Not going to happen as much as we hope or think. Expecting this tourney to look like last year, 10% more upsets given it's not quite as top heavy.

The Babe Ruth of verbal diarrhea.

Has Siena still not subbed? Gerry really needs to think about giving his guys a break.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Welp, called that. Siena has turned back into a pumpkin.

Of course. But they didn't pick an even more local team as their #16 seed, or their most hated rival as another Pod team there.

Siena is from Albany, NY.

 

[Mr. French]

Duke had to go zone lolol

They're obviously not going to lose but it would have been fun to see Siena keep some pressure on them deep into the second half. That sequence with the two missed dunks can't happen.

 

[superjohn]

Welp, called that. Siena has turned back into a pumpkin.

The missed dunk to put em up 15 and then the three that bounced around and and off the rim sealed their fate. A chance to put a whole lot of game pressure on Duke and they missed it.

Apparently the demise of the mid major in NIL era was over exaggerated. Miami of Ohio and High Point, Wow!

someone let Ruff Ruff know.....or maybe (hopefully) he's already gone into hiding

Imagine not being able to guard Siena man-to-man lol

 

[alphasigko]

B1G team #2 down

Thank you so much for finding and posting that quote. How did you manage to sift through the 10,000 other things he's posted in the last two weeks??

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Oof, so many point blank misses to Siena this half.

 

[superjohn]

Mulvey is killing Siena.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

This big kid is a disaster.

 

[mike012]

If Siena could hit layups they would be in much better shape.
