NCAA Tournament Day 2 Thread

Fun to hear Jay Wright put Seth Davis in his place.
Davis went on a mini rant about hurleys attitude and the weakness of our team.

Wright: oooh some words from the media guy. Dan Hurley is a stellar coach, a great dude, and the team is better than you think.

Got a link?

Seth Davis the biggest know nothing in the business.

Jay Wright is way too good for that crew.

Did anyone else question how much dicking around the refs did with the clock at the end of the game?

I watched the in-bounds play with 1.1 seconds left a half dozen times and still can't understand how the Baylor guy could make the catch and the MSSt. guy was able to go around another Baylor guy to get to him in 0.6 seconds.

Baylor easily ran over a second off the clock before the defender got to him.

Then they give them time on the clock after the missed FT saying MSSt. called time out as the ball was caught. They took off 0.3 seconds.

SEC refs?

Mount St. Mary’s. Is that a college team?

By all appearances, no

What is the benefit of playing Flagg against a 16 seed?

Game speed. Get the feel back. But you don't play him >20 mins, if even that.

Thank god Grant Nelson’s knee turned out to be ok or they woulda lost to Robert morris and blown this region wide open for Duke. I don’t care who wins it all as long as it ain’t Duke. I want to enjoy having more chips than them for more than 1 year.

If it was my team I'd be holding my breath every time he moves

After the injury he didn't have ice on it or a boot, seems a case of it looking more serious than it was

Still plenty of time left but a shame that Penny has his best team while at Memphis and one of his best players goes down in the AAC tourney

Why is that a shame? No love lost for Hardaway, Memphis, or the AAC

Because I grew up a Penny fan, I don't give a damn about no AAC grudges

 

[upstater]

The MW might have one good team.

Makes sense

Playing from behind has Memphis playing all frantic and rushed

 

[mike012]

Memphis is no 5 seed

 

[UCFan1513]

Memphis looks poorly conditioned and poorly coached

I thought both teams played good defense. Memphis played a little tight in the last 10 minutes.

 

[UCFan1513]

What is Haggerty doing out there?

 

[SoFla Steve]

At last, I picked an upset!

 

[mike012]

I thought Memphis winning this was the upset.

 

[jibsey]

Damn, Penny!

 

[navery12]

I thought Memphis winning this was the upset.

If you go by Vegas it was, Colorado State was favored by 1.5

 

[IndyLives]

Little Penny underperforms once again. It's been the same theme his whole career, as coach and player.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Hard to believe we managed to lose to Memphis in Maui. Still hard to fathom.

 

[mike012]

Memphis as a 5 seed was highway robbery
