March Madness Round 1 Thread

While I embrace Miami, Ohio being disregarded unfairly I have always thought one mid major conference is always overrated and over seeded. The WCC. St. Mary’s got wrecked and now Gonzaga is struggling. MVC is a better league.

Agreed, MVC is good and fun to watch. Several of those teams could win a first round game.
 
Robbie Avila seems like he never lost his baby fat. Kid's had a nice career. He was the flavor of the early tourney 4 years ago with the Sycamores. Would enjoy seeing him be that again.
 
Seems like Georgia just wants to go home. St Louis simply beats them to every ball.

St Louis up 35, GA hasn’t scored since halftime lol I guess that speech didn’t work
 
Warm up the bus and airplane. Georgia looks like they want to be anywhere but in that game in Buffalo.

Well you can still make a tutorial of that halftime speech. Get a transcript and hand it to any coach and tell him to say 100% the opposite.

Georgia has spit the bit. Ugly.
 
Hey Ruff Ruff….ANOTHER mid major advances

I think he needs a wellness check…..
 
6 year extension for Josh Schertz when he's the hottest commodity for other schools. St. Louis has been trying everything to get in the Big East. Could something possibly be in the works?

In watching the 1st Round so far, I love the freedom of movement. We are going to be able to run our offense and get good shots. Two keys are going to be 3 point percentage and turnovers. If we can keep the turnovers to 10 or under, and shoot somewhere between 35-40%, I like our chances. I really do.

As someone said, our guys need to be relaxed and confident, and the constant talk about winning championships seems to have them tight as a drum and missing wide open three's.
We need a joker in the locker room to loosen them up and having fun.
 
Kennesaw St. not giving up... got to hit your damn free throws though.

Meanwhile, Gonzaga is proving that they were significantly overseeded yet again. They even have a home crowd advantage being in Portland and yet they are in a life and death struggle to put away a team that went 10-10 in Conference USA and just so happened to get hot in their conference tourney.

Good thing the Zags will be moving on to that new Pac-12 next year. Maybe we will see how they do when they have to play San Diego State, Utah State, Colorado State and Boise State twice a year and not that yearly joke of competition in the WCC.

They will struggle with Texas, and if they get by them Purdue will smoke them.

Well, Georgia bit the dust badly.

Kind of went how you might expect - pretty chalky, not like last year. Non P4 = High Point, VCU, Zags and St Louis.

For an off-season thread, but I would not be against adding St. Louis to the Big East. Decent size, big city school. St. Louis is one of the biggest cities without an NBA team. Good basketball history. Get an NIL/payroll commitment from them, and I would be on board.
