NCAA Tournament Day 1 Thread

[Mots010]

Not impressed with Notre Dame. Figures I picked them to go far for the first time ever.

Iowa St in trouble as well.

 

[Scoe]

I absolutely hate it when ND gets handed a win.

Iowa State seems to be a popular pick to go deep into the tournament. Getting out rebounded by a good margin right now which is probably the main reason the game is close.

I didn't have any of the 3 seeds advancing to the second weekend, and they've all been fairly unimpressive so far. I'm sure the early starts has something to do with that, though.

I'm loving this Georgia State team. They play swarming defense, and have played well in the first half despite being without their second leading scorer, and having their leading scorer having a rough first half. I hope one of these 14 seeds can pull out a win.

If the P5 bias by the officials keeps up, I will be checking out on the tournament. This is ridiculous.

 

[Mots010]

Niang just threw up a clunker of clunkers in round 1. Obviously a different team from last year, but I never bought into the fact that Iowa St was going to beat us last year, with or without Niang.

I hate you, Iowa State.

Didn't they get that ville player who broke his leg?

ISU going out really opens a nice path up for SMU!

By the way I noticed Texas (20-13) was in the Tourney. How so? Temple (24-10) has more wins and less losses Oh and Colorado State was (27-7).

If we're sorting by wins and losses, then Northern Iowa is a 1 seed...

Yes, Kevin Ware. He's a Panther. Got 4 points so far today.

 

[Drew]

SMU set up really well for the Sweet 16

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Baylor starting to get a little help. There must be a 10 minute mark buzzer that goes off for refs in close games between P5's and low majors.

 

[Waquoit]

Very happy to see ISU bite the big one.

 

[ASweet3781]

SMU looks to be in their usual coma they are in when they are not playing in Moody Coliseum. Hopefully they wake up.

 

[Mots010]

What a run by Georgia St!

 

[Walker11]

goshdarn this is awesome. 2 Big 12 3 seeds have lost to 14 seeds. This GA State game was amazing, closing on the 13-0 run. Scott Drew once again showed his coaching ineptitude.
The coach falling out of his chair is priceless!

 

[nelsonmuntz]

There is not a paramedic in the world that could have given Baylor the Heimlich they needed to hold on today. How did they lose that game?

 

[Blueballer]

That's one of the BEST reactions I've ever seen from a Head Coach. AWESOME!!

 

[BUHusky]

Suck it P5.

Jeff Goodman has Georges Niang wrapped in a consoling embrace in the Iowa State locker room, rubbing his head and telling him he's the best in his book and that's all that matters.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

SMU has to win this game. No one has an ounce of respect for UCLA, and SMU is one of only 2 AAC representatives and the league champ.

I already had SMU beating them and Gonzaga to lose to Puke in the EE. I can tell a lot of people had ISU going deep (I never dug their hype this or last year) because on ESPN I'm already in the 90th percentile and I've only made one correct pick of the 3 finished games so far, already losing one of my SS teams

Baylor however I had as a SS team.

B12 failing pretty hard already. And all we heard all year was how they're neck and neck w/ ACC for best conference this year LMAO

 

[ktuck911]

Two 3 seeds ( ISU & Baylor ) out already... ND almost made it the Trifecta
