March Madness Round 1 Thread

Looking like 0-2 gonna happen for mid majors so far today, in two games many had the MM winning. Let's see if Wright St can pull it off.

Kentucky got calls down the stretch and made a miracle shot. Of course RuffRuff races over here to pretend mid majors can't win anymore.

Hurley ain't going anywhere. If there is any school with the possibility to grab a big fish (Donovan, Stevens, yada), it's probably UNC. They limit themselves by staying in the family. Oats feels like the best from a personality standpoint, but not sure UNC will want that mold of basketball there as seems anti their cloth.

Byington is an easy choice

Run and gun and transition is their bag since Roy

damn, Sendek was trying to call TO to setup his defense, the defender in the backcourt getting caught flatfooted on the inbound is what allowed Oweh to get up the court so quick

Brutal, they gave Kentucky that timeout on the scramble when they didn't have possession and then Sendek isn't granted the timeout.

He has a team of people.




They're all in his head.

A little indirect “What About Bob”/Bill Murray mojo.

Remind us not to invite him to the next Boneyard Classic. We don't need a mass murder.

 

[aceboon]

weak tech against Virginia

 

[noelle]

ACC and SEC are overrated

 

[RuffRuff]

So far, so chalk. And I took SC and Akron. Figured a couple might go.

Sendek messed that up badly. You hit that shot, you call timeout and your coaching staff is setting up chairs on the court (all in one motion). You do that by giving the refs a head’s up, ‘if we score, we’re calling a timeout.’

SEC is 6-1. Meanwhile Villanova is getting smoked by a mid major team. lol

Another slam over flat footed Villanova defense. lol

Man does Villanova look slow.

Joshua Jefferson sent to the hospital for x rays after coming down on his ankle. Needed to be carried off the floor and was on crutches.

Brutal hit for the Cyclones.

 

[Inyatkin]

A lot of these lower ranked teams can compete for a while but a full 40, not always

 

[aceboon]

Nova staying close but they're getting carved up on defense

 

[aceboon]

Good response from Nova

 

[BugsyCT]

If Siena had more than five players there's a good chance we'd already have a 1/16 upset.

 

[JwittersPAC]

SEC 7-1. Nelsonmuntz take notice.

 

[RuffRuff]

LOL - guy is dying for them to stink.

There have been two true P4 upsets so far, B10 & Wisconsin & ACC UNC.

I'm not calling an 8/9 game an upset with Georgia.

Meanwhile Nova is on thin ice.

 

[RitzLuce1]

Big East energy baby.

 

[Scoe]

Nova blew it and while I do think Willard is mid this loss is on the players. Willard didn't fumble rebounds and throw it out of bounds on unforced turnovers and miss open layups.

Well, just when you want our one mid seed to prove the BE has some life, they let the other team go on a 14-1 run in the home stretch. It is hard to have a lot of pride for the current state of this league. I do think Willard will be a solid coach.
