March Madness Round 1 Thread

Duke likely comes back when they start bombing threes in the 2nd half but this is hysterical either way. Thanks for Thursday afternoon comedy Siena!

 

[Scoe]

Unfortunately Duke has a lot of time Siena has to keep it up in 4 minute segments.

Congrats Singare

Youssouf Singare with an NCAA Tournament win before UConn this season. Did we make a mistake with that decision?

 

[superjohn]

I fully expect Duke to blow it open but this is fun and McNamara has these kids balling.

 

[prankster]

Wisconsin's Cinderella dreams have been dashed!

 

[MJ1]

Youssouf Singare and High Point beat Wisconsin!!!

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

Obviously the best player in that recruiting class

Let's go Siena!!

No subs for Siena in the 1st half. 5 starters played 20 minutes. Nobody w/ more than 1 foul

 

[Mr. French]

Ruff any thoughts? Lol

“This is going to be the most upset laden tournament in history, that’s clear by watching, Siena is clearly the best team in America it’s very obvious Hurley needs to adapt to what GMac is doing.”

 

[connVA]

Can’t watch the Duke game but please please tell me we’re getting a boatload of footage of freaked out Duke fans? Probably still too early for outright crying but that would be the chef’s kiss

He played 4 minutes. No points. No rebounds.

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.

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.

Oh no so sad

Louisville shooting better from 3 than 2.

USF is slow on D - can't stay in front of anyone.

I picked Louisville because it seemed like South Florida was the trendy pick from everyone to win.

They should ask Scheyer about this in the post-game press conference if Siena pulls it off.

 

[Mr. French]

Duke looks nervous

No clue all season how Khamenia was a 5 star recruit

 

[Tenspro2002]

Asterisk that sequence right there. Siena misses 2 dunks, Duke flushes one at the other end.

Feels like that's gonna be the high water mark and the end of the fun. Big momentum swing.

 

[superjohn]

Missed wide open dunk by Siena 7 footer which would've put them up 15. Mark it down.

 

[Inyatkin]

That missed dunk, yikes

Looked like Boozer whacked the Siena guy on the arm on the second attempt.

If the crowd being against you makes you lose to a 16 seed you really stink
