March Madness Round 1 Thread

[UConn77]

Siena gave it a good shot but they’re done.

 

[Scoe]

Sienna had a chance at an upset but some of you had to open up your mouth.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Sienna seriously doesn't have a single bench player that can play? I didn't realize the starters have gone the whole way, I thought they were getting tight and in reality they're probably gassed.

They did, until Marcus Jackson hurt his knee, Antonio Chandler was declared ineligible last week and this:

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

He played 4 mins w/a Blutarsky 0.00

They only have a couple guys that ever play, but I guess he decides to go all in today. Can’t blame him.

Feels like everything started falling apart when Doty got his heel/ankle stomped on

Reid Ducharme, injuries crushed that kid

 

[uconngb]

Crazy all the UConn rep in these commercials….just saw a new one w Tarasi and Steph

 

[ninety-nine]

The momentum swing from the two missed dunks changed everything. Siena started missing easy ones, and Duke's confidence soared. Now it feels like the many near-colossal 16-1 or 15-2 upsets that have fallen apart late in the game over the years.

 

[Trudy Gay]

refs protected Cam the whole first half. He should have had two fouls in the first five mins of the game.

Also Siena's starters are winded. Zero subs until lately.

 

[Scoe]

The ones in commercial are gonna get the calls, as we see with Boozer, note to Solo be agressive.

They were 333rd in the country in bench minutes this year, and then lost Antonio Chandler from their starting lineup so not really somehow

 

[gsmooth]

Too bad for lack of bench.Siena is exhausted.

 

[navery12]

He played 4 mins w/a Blutarsky 0.00

I thought the sarcasm was pretty obvious...

 

[blkknight1]

That block looks to be the dagger. Sienna need that score.

 

[mike012]

Duke looks like garbage and St. John’s will throw them around. But Siena ran out of gas.

 

[Scoe]

Sienna could use a TO right now why wait. I was typing this the previous possession btw. Now it's too late.

 

[aceboon]

Sienna needed to stick that last 3 that went in and out, that was their last hope

 

[boog204]

This big kid is a disaster.

He’s really killed them…

 

[superjohn]

Hell of a game for McNamara. He had 5 guys to play and they kept it close as hell. Game could've been different if the stiff Mulvey made the open dunk.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Just too many plays at the end where Duke was a little bigger and a little faster.

 

[blkknight1]

Sienna with the valiant effort, gave everything that they had and all duke would want. Just didnt have legs the last 8 minutes.

 

[Travelman6]

Hell of an effort by Siena. Doesn't mean anything, but for sure a top 10 16 seed performance. Moving to McNeese, down 5, let's go!

 

[CTBasketball]

Power conference teams with a very sketchy start.
