March Madness Round 1 Thread

Yes they are - PN was in a boot today rolling and Scheyer didn't seem too confident. Kid is likely going draft, so guessing they're being really careful. TCU could definitely give them a run. Would be magical if they got knocked out - even with him back, seems like he won't be 100% and he'll have to blend back in. They seem really vulnerable, especially to the 4-5.

Covering all his bases...

Ruff any thoughts? Lol

On HP winning? Didn't see that one coming. Lone upset, so not really much going on there out of 8 games. Last year first round upsets were really just McNeese and Drake as an 11 seed. So trending to be a bit more than last.

Why play the whole game without any subs at all? Recipe for disaster down the stretch. Siena completely ran out of gas.

He is a disciple of Jim Boeheim. His bench was always short. It’s funny to watch the Syracuse fans, losing their minds about McNamara possibly going there as their next coach

Hurley needs to keep the team focused starting with game 1, as we almost saw the "powerful" #1 Duke choke against #16. No playing down to the competition.

It’s Hurley getting his players to play relaxed and not tight. Can’t play scared.

This year will be all chalk……mid majors can’t survive in this day and age of NIL

Yada, yada
 
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.

I picked VCU like many others but they look overmatched by Carolina, even without Wilson.

Carolina usually loses focus and allows a run, but you’re right early on that size is too much for VCU.
 
With BYU's injuries Texas probably has more overall talent, not a bad draw for them as a play-in

So in High Point's win over Wisc.... the guy who hit the game winning layup on the break had hit 68 three's this season and zero two point buckets.

My son texted me that after the game. That is a crazy stat. How does that happen? You figure at least once someone would see him open cutting to the basket. Does he just sit out on the 3 point line and never move?

He shoots 50% from 3 so rarely even attempts any other shot.
 
Michigan is not exactly clobbering Howard. So much for the supposed dominance of these 1 seeds.
