March other NCAA games

Jerry Seinfeld Popcorn GIF by Sheets & Giggles
 
In the all bad B12 showdown of two teams BE tourney teams lost to, Colorado (we lost to) takes down TCU (Xavier lost to).
 
Capel escapes a lot of media scrutiny because all sports radio and sports news in Pittsburgh between October-April is 95% Steelers, 4% Penguins, and 1% everything else.

I've been saying it all year: Capel sucks. Far too much talent on this team to be this terrible. Hurley would love to have a guy like Leggett, who plays way too much hero ball in Capel's system but would have the potential to be Newton-esque under Hurley.
 
That foul was nuts - I happened to be watching the gamecast on espn and saw it stuck on 54-54 but showed ND won, so I just knew some crap call happened, on a missed shot no less. See the video, pretend to be shocked. These refs can't help it.

No wonder bracketologists are giving the acc only 3 teams which is an incredible feat for that conference. Cal beats Va Tech in 2nd overtime with a score of only 82-73.

To round out the total excitement in charlotte, cuse vs florida state. Not even worthy of the Knights who say NIT.
 
was puzzled to see Robert Morrison playing for the Horizon League title and had no idea that they've been in the conference for 5 years
 
Delaware v UNCW has turned into a fun one. Hens hanging within one possession.

CCSU played as bad as you could on offense. Huge missed opportunity for that program once again

That was some bad basketball. Watching that game only verifies the complaint of major basketball programs that automatic qualification of conference tounament champions of this type of conferenc needs to stop. Any good bubble team, like Xavier, would pummel both of them 10 times out of 10. Seton Hall would pummel them for that matter. Tournament berth should be based on metrics that are often discussed here. Neither of these schools would qualify for the NCAA tournament based on metrics. No wonder power schools want to form their own tournament.

Ok yes but that same conference produced FDU who beat Purdue two years ago. Why would you want to ruin the tournament just because 99% of the time they’d lose?

Strong disagree. It's the little schools that make the tournament great.

You should be pumped about The Crown!

Idk - it takes away the spirit of the tournament. Make the big boys earn their way in the many spots reserved for them. That mentality aligns with college football driven realignment.

Even worse when the NEC only qualified to retain their autobid because they invited arguably the worst program in D1 history Chicago St to join this year

Quality of this game is light years better than the central game. CC game didn’t look D1.

The Rick Mickens, John Tice, Corsley Edwards Central team Howie coached back in the day would destroy this Central team.

Delaware just ran out of legs in final 3 minutes. Missed a couple bunnies, bad TO. Helluva run though and still had a chance with under 10 secs on clock.

That game got me thinking about past Central players.

Keith the boss Closs. Dude got clowned on a lot for the viral beat down he took and because he was goofy looking but he seems like a great guy. He was an alcoholic during his playing career and worked for basketball without borders in China and Costa Rica. Now works with recovering addicts in LA.

Vermont said hold my beer to CCSU. Got boatraced on home court by Maine. I didn't think they would crawl out of the 30's. Scored 42 points. One game snapshot but they were the #2 seed and beat Maine twice durimg season. Think they lost by 15 on home court. Just bad basketball to watch.

No, no, no, no, no. The best rounds of the NCAAT are the first two rounds. That's the magic of the tournament is when there are schools that are much smaller in terms of athletic budget, size, and stature of their players, and play their home games in rinky dink gyms but yet they are competing and possibly defeating their bigger, better funded (at least 10x) counterparts.

Besides, if the Power conferences get more slots in the NCAAT, the regular season games get devalued even more.

We want Gonzaga to lose here right? Better for them to be firmly off the 7 line than the good a win would do for our resume

Likely right. I must say these two teams are really underwhelming, feels like there is a lid on the basket. I see StM going down to a 12 seed, neither look long in March.

If the purpose of the NCAA tournament is to have the best 68 teams in the nation compete for a national championship, then seeding should be done by metrics and only the top 68 Division I teams should be included. It would certainly make the 1-16 matchup more interesting most of the time as opposed to a rare event.
