March Madness Round 1 Thread

Michigan struggling defensively. Only up 7 to Howard right before halftime.

Something is up with the 16 seeds today

Yikes, you guys were not lying, 5 players, 40 minutes. Not a single bench minute. Wow, really impressed by this team. Hope they can make it again next year. Duke is not much deeper; just 12 total players saw the floor. Wonder if that is some kind of record.

Maybe those kids follow McNamara if he leaves, and if it's to cuse, they could have a very good season in the acc

I didn't get to see much of the the game other than the obvious no calls on boozer but if those 5 kids played 40 minutes each and led most of the game and managed to not foul out, either they are outright amazing or duke is bad

Rashaun AGE-y

UNC getting lazy. VCU has no business making this close.

Michigan is inevitably going to pull ahead, but giving up 46 to Howard at half is bad. 1 seeds are looking beatable so far. Going to be interesting watching the 1 vs. 8/9 games this weekend, I won’t be surprised to see one go down

 

[Jimdish255]

Anybody else not surprised about Texas leading BYU?

 

[Scottobot]

a lot of feisty 16 seeds today! Sienna had Duke today, just couldn’t make a shot for last 10 minutes or grab a rebound

 

[Scottobot]

Great video, love the arrow. He can’t guard a chair

 

[mike012]

Vcu is down 5… they just scored 9-0 run in 90 seconds

 

[Jimdish255]

Wow, UNC's defense is horrible. Nobody on the bench that can play D? VCU just outworking them.

 

[Scottobot]

Does anyone think a First Four team advances to the S16?

Miami Ohio has a lot of good shooters. If they bury 3s and other team is cold they can do it.

 

[Jaydumo20]

Best news is that not only did NIL not change the Cinderella aspect but it seems to have made top seeds a little worse. Lack of continuity maybe? No team loyalty? Whatever it is, I'm actually here for it. It's like the moment you found out that A.I. music actually does suck.

I’m not buying Michigan or Duke at this point. Struggling this much leaves an ick that makes it hard to trust them.

I couldn't be happier

I guess our Inbounding Disease is contagious.

North Carolina and VCU tied with 8.1 seconds

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Just putting it out there that Davis probably gets fired if UNC loses.

Edit: Davis has "Kyle Neptune I Just Caked My Pants" face.

 

[uconn1999]

Tarholes inbound like someone else I know

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Both teams' point guards carried/double dribbled in the last minute. Fun game.

 

[gsmooth]

Send it Overtime. UNC's Seth Tremble intercepts inbound with 2.4 seconds but misses 3 pter.

 

[Jaydumo20]

Is anybody feeling more confident about our chances at #7 after today's games?

 

[nelsonmuntz]

VCU has a couple of players that look like they could descend to full blown hero ball. I hope VCU keeps it together. Stick with what got you here.

 

[DW1361]

VCU hosed there.

 

[uconngb]

Why bother having review if they ate still going to get the call wrong

That’s awful
