March Madness Round 1 Thread

[gsmooth]

I’ve never watched a single First Four game. I don’t feel like it’s actually March Madness and it’s just a gimmick.

Anyone else feel that way or am I just weird?

I don't bother with the 16 seed vs 16 seed games. The 11 seed vs 11 seed I will watch the last 10 minutes of game time if it's close, but only if it's close.

What gave it away?

You did since you said he picked all the games right last year.

I watch the first 4 casually have it on mute it’s like having water for an hour at a restaurant.

Prairie View gets to say it won an NCAA tournament game. Not the worst thing

It was a close game until about ten minute mark of second half. I watched this game and I’ll be watching Miami vs SMU. Not with same interest as games starting tomorrow. I even watched some NIT yesterday but I understand why some people don’t.

I really hope Miami OH wins. I was loudly saying they need to make the tournament after their undefeated regular season. Would be a bad look if they take a big loss to a 20-13 ACC team that was 8-10 in conference

 

[Revrat]

The way the Miami game is being called would really benefit our offense. They are not letting any contact go

 

[Mr. French]

The Fightin' Travis Steeles aren't scurred

 

[CTBasketball]

Miami OH just jacks shots, it’s hilarious to watch how bad SMU is at rebounding b.

 

[HCCForever]

Entertaining half. Miami shooting 40% from three

 

[HooperScooper]

Entertaining half. Miami shooting 40% from three

25 of their 34 shots so far are threes.

 

[Scoe]

Tonight MOH has a moral obligation to save March Madness, you can not let greed win. If I’m Travis Steele I’m running up the score if given the chance and not even doing postgame interviews.

What's up with Jalen Rose's hair, or more accurately, his hairline?

 

[CTBasketball]

Miami shoots 40% from 3 with that volume, they could go far.

 

[Marat]

Miami shoots 40% from 3 with that volume, they could go far.

That's a type of team would not want to see vs UConn, just from the 3 volume makes.

It’s honestly pretty hilarious watching Travis Steele put this team in a blender.

SMU started running them off every shot in the 2H and now they’re leaving lanes and fouling. It’s pure chaos.

 

[HuskyHawk]

My bet on Miami +7.5 looks pretty good. Figured a team that basically never loses certainly wouldn’t lose big to a crap team like SMU.

Isn't that what UConn would do to a team like that? UConn is pretty good at limiting an opponent's threes. Not scared of a team like that.

Looking forward to rooting for Lehigh tonight. My dad lives 20 minutes away from campus and it’s refreshing to see a program that truly prioritizes the student-athlete experience.

Also, how may programs nowadays have a head coach whose last NCAA tournament appearance was with the same team 14 years ago when they had their own March magic, when the CJ McCollum-led Mountain Hawks defeated Duke?

Man that was a great night…..

It’s an extra betting opportunity so I always watch

Dyes and enhancements

These days I’m not sure what we’re good at besides winning OOC games on neutral floors in March. But hey I’ll take it.

Let's go Redhawks!

Also are you guys getting multiple commercials with Uconn Players. I have Turbo Tax, and investment firm, one with Azziz Fudd, and then the one with the fans singing on a bus.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Bang. This team is fun. I watched them win a very close game a few weeks ago. Playing better tonight.

Edit: anyone who thinks they just play fast and launch 3s never saw Loyola Marymount in their prime. Imagine a college team that scored like 120 points a a game. We’ve never seen anything like it since.

Is Furman game on TV??? Dont see it anywhere

TBS

There’s this thing called the internet…..I know you know about it, well because……
