March Madness Round 1 Thread

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……

 

[WestCoastHusky]

I hope all of our games are called like Miami Oh vs SMU game. No St John style defense allowed here.

Miami OH has a bunch of Mullins type shooters jacking up 3s. Fun to watch if you like see players jacking up 3s.

 

[Hurleyman216]

Miami scorching them from 3 and SMU is still in a zone…makes no sense. They are getting wide open looks every time down

 

[WestCoastHusky]

This life Staljac is on fire for Miami Oh. He is making 3s at a very high percentage.

 

[KingAG]

Miami(OH) is giving me a kind stfu

Miami OJ is a bunch of Mullins type shooters jacking up 3s. Fun to watch if you like see players jacking up 3s.

I don’t mind them jacking up threes since they’re still at 40%. Their FT percentage is only 58% at 6:41

I forgot Andy Enfield exists.

 

[HuskyHawk]

This is great. Love it. Fantastic to see them punish the doubters. But it’s also just fun to waste this style. Free flowing.

 

[uconngb]

I forgot Andy Enfield exists.

At this rate, his next stop is definitely going to be a mid major…..like, say, Syracuse

 

[Mr. French]

Dumb quick shot now it’s only 7

 

[RitzLuce1]

It's like watching a different sport than what I had to watch the last 2 months. Actual fouls being called.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team get as many wide open looks from 3 as Miami this game. SMU has looked totally lost defensively.

 

[uconnfan68]

Cal Baptist gets Kansas in the opening round, dude is shifty

A Kemba fan!

 

[WestCoastHusky]

SMU forgot how to play defense lol. How did this team made it in instead is Seton Hall?

SMU has been awful without BJ Edwards (and may have lied about his injury to even get in), but this was an awful matchup for them against a team who can make 3's. I'm not sure Andy Enfield even knows you're supposed to defend people at the 3 point line

Worth noting that Tennessee is 328th so if they shoot like this again...

 

[CardiacAndre7]

It’s March, baby.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

The old Xavier coach is making a run. I can see them taking down Tennessee.

I got Santa Clara as my second team, and will be cheering for Miami OH.

In some ways SMU was better playing a zone with Miami going five out. Their big(s) were too slow to defend the three on the perimeter in a man to man. Personally, they probably should have gone a bit smaller and gone man considering how hot Miami was.

SMU has one remotely quality win in the last 2 months. Their win against Butler was one of the worst officiated games I saw this season. Butler should have won by 15. This SMU team just wasn’t an NCAA caliber team.

Ball don’t lie.
