NCAA Tournament Day 1 Thread (Merged)

[Blue Huskie]

I hope tonight's game are better than the early ones.

 

[AidanFan20]

...and a contest-style dunk...

 

[Kolumbo]

I think Val's phone is going to start ringing. Duke, maybe yes. But that conference now sucks.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Clemson/McNeese is not over yet. Clemson has got scorching hot from 3.

 

[AidanFan20]

Yeah, these games haven't been very fun.

Well, this one has heated up... what a comeback!

 

[Jimdish255]

Was that a 3 or a 2

 

[BugsyCT]

McNeese just needs this clock to run out ASAP

54 pts for Clemson this half.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

McNeese 12/24 free throws not helping

 

[Jimdish255]

Welp bye bye..

 

[AidanFan20]

Ballgame... McNeese wins... well, they're reviewing the clock.

One of the many things I prefer about high-school ball... No reviews.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

It is funny listening to Lappas give advice about how to handle a potential first round upset.

 

[Scoe]

Clemson wins a participation trophy banner.

 

[aceboon]

Will Wade will win at NC State, after Duke the conference is wide open

 

[Palatine]

We don’t want that league, they’re trash money

Is it better money than the Big East?

 

[AidanFan20]

Zags can't miss.

 

[Deleted at users request]

Im still for our new rivals being Duke, UNC, and get some of the OBE rivalries back again.

That would be a lot better for the brand than rivalries with Creighton and Marquette. Pitino is a good one, but it’s the only one that has potential to be exciting to people outside of the fanbase.

Also I’m sure the players will enjoy away games in Cali, Florida, and Texas over Wisconsin, Ohio, and Nebraska lol

The ACC is doing a wonderful job of soiling itself so far. WOW, does Clemson look absolutely horrific. EMBARRASSING!

Louisville AND Clemson both went 18-2 in that league. That is legitimately pathetic.

We would have looked like world beaters and been a 1 or 2 seed if we played against such weak-ass competition all year. I picked Duke to lose before the Final 4 for this exact reason... take the letters A-C-C from the front of this conference and they look like the whole league belonged in the A-A-C this year.

Little wonder that SMU ended up tied for 3rd while "stepping up in competition" from that same AAC. What a horror show they have become! Couldn't have happened to a finer group of snooty-patootie schools either.

And BC, Pitt and that Orange school in Canada couldn't even sniff .500 in this conference? LMAO!

Snootie-patootie, LMAO. I can't say those words without laughing.

And some folks thought our win over Gonzaga wasn’t a good win. They look good. And Georgia and the SEC looks a smidge overbought.

 

[aceboon]

Gonzaga and Creighton have raised my interest in these 2nd round 1 vs 8/9 matchups.

 

[Vowelguy]

Gonzaga’s win helps our strength of schedule, right?

 

[BGesus4]

Will Wade will win at NC State, after Duke the conference is wide open

Looks like he could’ve at least gone 18-2 with his mcneese team lol

 

[Tenspro2002]

Not to risk upsetting the mojo (though I'm already hanged so whatever), but mediocre SEC teams getting boatraced has to bode amazingly for us against Oklahoma, no?

 

[mike012]

I think the Sec picked on the dead on arrival Acc and except for a few of the Sec teams they will be exposed as nit level teams.

The SEC had the espn hype machine behind it, the ACC used to have that but the sec is such a cash cow they threw the acc in the trash
