March madness round two Sunday

[RuffRuff]

Peterson with 1 assist in 73 NCAA minutes (none today). He has a lot of gifts but he’s too ball dominant to not get some here and there just by mistake.

The more I watch, the less I'd want my team investing in him. He's a very unusual kid - smooth scorer, but don't find him elevating a team.

When he was fouled on the break, barely touched, he laid on the floor like he was in agony.

StJ/Duke is prime time TV

This game was what you would expect when a one super frosh plays a team of grown assed men.

 

[jibsey]

I hope St John's beats Duke.

Should we get the chance I would rather play Duke.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

One of the sillier technical fouls I have ever seen called. The Tennessee player was overly physical on the sideline box out, and had his arms out. The Virginia player did push him, but it was a love tap. Refs should have let it go.

 

[KingAG]

I hope St John's beats Duke.

Zuby is the one guy who can give boozer some trouble

 

[JBK]

Pathetic defense at the end. Great ending, two average teams.

Average. They beat us badly. Let’s all root for the big east !!!!

They can probably rotate Zubi and Mitchell for different looks, depending on how Ngongnba is effecting them inside. I'd move Mitchell from Evans to Boozer, especially when Ngongba is out.

 

[UCTitleTown]

On a neutral site, we'd take St. John's (if we're healthy).

 

[Kolumbo]

darling shot the ball with 0.6 seconds left and kansas had 2 players defending beyond the arc while giving up a layup. they needed to know the clock situation. no tears for kansas but this is not a good result

 

[nelsonmuntz]

This Tennessee/Virginia game is getting a little chippy. Barnes' teams have always been a bit cheap with their physicality.

Neither of these teams are good. Tennessee having a 6 seed is worth a discussion this week no matter what happens in this game.

Why Wouldnt Mitchell be the primary defender the entire game? Zubi will be guarding Ngongba, Bryce on Sarr, Sellers on Evans and so forth.

Edit- hopefully ingongba is still limited in which case SJU can hide Hopkins on Brown and put Zubi on Boozer.

Are you kidding, that's going to be cry baby city for the loser.

No call will be fair for either fan base. I'll watch just to see the negative emotions on both sides.

Negative emotions you desire? Travel no further that the chat room

Pitino is a wizard. Huge upset.

St. John's was favored in this game.

 

[Dibbie]

How was that a shooting foul for VA when they’re fighting for a rebound

 

[HooperScooper]

Pitino vs Duke…unwatchable

Well at least one of them has to lose 😀

 

[auror]

This is great. "Bells" is Dylan Darling aka "his balls are as big as church bells" if you're not aware of the nickname.

 

[HooperScooper]

Doesn't look like our game is going to start on time. What else is new?

Especially not once this game goes to overtime, obviously.

 

[Henry]

It better not go to OT. The late game Fri was bad enough.

 

[jibsey]

St. John’s blew a 14 point lead and got away with it. Duke should be a tougher opponent but it should be a good game.

 

[HooperScooper]

Yaaay for St. John's. So how much money does UConn and the other Big East teams get for that win?

 

[mauconnfan]

Peterson should of definitely helped on D after Darling blew by his guy.

Absolutely they all should’ve helped there was no time for a pass and shoot.

 

[HooperScooper]

Tennessee is trying
