NCAA Tournament Day 2 Thread

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

We lost to a tournament team that was ranked most of the season. Is it really that hard to believe that the same UConn team that lost to two turnips like Colorado and Seton Hall also lost to Memphis? Are you really struggling with that possibility?

Hurley's experiment with Aiden as a starting PG cost us some games. But the foul calls also killed us.

I refuse to accept we lost to a seton hall team that was 3-242345

 

[Jaydumo20]

Got a link?

Seth Davis the biggest know nothing in the business.

Jay Wright is way too good for that crew.

I'll look. It was the pre game show. After a mini segment on Dan.

AAC put one team in the dance and they're already gone.

Evidently, BY SEC analysts only like to discuss games when they are behind. Don’t know much about 7 seed Saint Mary’s (behind to 10 Vandy at the half). NC is in trouble against Ole Miss (down 21-38 as I type this). Hoping for some BY analysis of these games too.

Survey says…:. Unc does indeed suck.

I will say Alabama didn’t impress me

Creighton is going to knock off Auburn tomorrow

I've seen that over the back called on Mcneeley a dozen times and still don't think its a legit foul. The Memphis player barely even made an attempt at the ball.

Baylor looked good to me we would love to have Wright. The morning after our game spent 20 minutes or so talking with his family all 20 or so! He seems like a great kid

 

[aceboon]

Today looks more like the UNC team I've seen all season but they've also been getting drilled and then stage a major comeback in the 2nd half so this one might not be over just yet.

I have watched them this season (Chris Youngblood, who didn’t have a good game, played at South Florida last season so I saw him a last year. Alabama can be quite erratic. I think Sears plays a lot of hero ball.

Thanks Nostradamus.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

UNC looks like they don't want to be there.

St. Mary's can't miss all their shots and hope to win. Putting the ball in the basket is how scoring in basketball works. Someone should tell St. Mary's.

Thanks to Danny's tirade in the last minute. He literally cost us a W.

Seth Davis is a dork who has always reached and sought out any little thing he could find to criticize or belittle the Huskies. Glad to hear Jay Wright put him down.

Anyone have video of this?

 

[HCCForever]

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?

It took way too long at the end of the MS State game. Then MS State had one last play and they botched it anyway. They could not score on a catch and shoot and that is what they attempted. It had to be a tip in so not sure why they didn't at least try a tip in play, impossible as it may have been.

well yes, but if they miss all their shots with the slowest possible offensive tempo, then the other team can’t take as many shots which limits how much they can get beat by.

St. Mary’s seems to have figured it out.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

The funniest part of this St. Mary's/Vanderbilt game is that St. Mary's has basically stopped attempting to shoot from outside of 5 feet and is only shooting layups, and they are actually closing the gap. If either of these two were in any other 7/10 matchup, they would lose by 20.

 

[NJHusky]

Memphis as a 5 seed was highway robbery

They did beat the defending champs

 

[EROCK CONN]

UNC looks like they don't belong to be there.

FIFY

 

[AidanFan20]

Looks like St. Mary's has suddenly remembered how to shoot... so far...

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Worth a separate thread to discuss if this is the most pathetic and humiliating loss in the last 60 years for UNC. They have quit on an NCAA Tournament game in the first half.
