NCAA Tournament Day 2 Thread

[SoFla Steve]

The 22 pt Ole Miss lead is now 6 points.

I'm here for the SEC schadenfreude. Go UNC.

 

[Goldenflash]

No UNC fan here, but it’s beginning to look like the SEC might choke another one away.

 

[aceboon]

So many of UNC's games this season has played out like this

 

[bendm]

S E C. S E C. S E C.

How did a Vanderbilt team that was this bad defensively win 8 games in the SEC?

Fun fact: SMC played 2 bigs for the whole second half, making up a 12 point halftime deficit, in part because SMC got better looks from 3. Which poster on this board has been saying that since Carlton and Whaley were on the team?

I’m eager to dance on the sec’s tourney grave but only 2 sec teams that were the lower seed (Missouri & Miss St) have lost and the latter was an 8/9 game.

Arkansas was the higher seed and won. So In the aggregate theyre only one result below expectations

 

[Tommyboy]

Wow. Unc had so many chances there.

 

[huskyjawz]

Davis still holds a grudge that UConn beat Duke in 1999 and 2004. He never will let it go.

He'd rather be wrong when we win, then pick us.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

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.

Keep that separate thread idea on ice.

Killer 3

 

[AidanFan20]

Big 3 by Pedulla (probably) closes this one out for Ole Miss

 

[AidanFan20]

Yup, what the announcer said... No matter how great you are at comebacks, you can't succeed at that all the time.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Carolina missed more layups than Josh Carlton.

 

[Leebo]

Good, I'll take an SEC win if it shuts up the UNC fans.

 

[shizzle787]

ACC down to Duke. Wow!

 

[tzznandrew]

ACC down to Duke. Wow!

Completely unsurprising. Worst the ACC has ever been.

 

[blkknight1]

I know that they probably weren't paying attention but I hope the guys took something from the carolina game and that is you can't play for 15-20 minutes in the tournament you have to play hard from the tip or 3lse you are going home.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Good sign. John Gaffney will not be on the whistle for us tonight. Doing the Florida game.

 

[Scoe]

This is looking like last year against Stetson.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Marquette looks a little tight early. The shooting is off, but worse, a few uncharacteristic defensive errors.

 

[BugsyCT]

Florida looks everything as advertised. Good. Let them get it out of their system in Round 1.

 

[Scoe]

Hopefully Clayton gets very very sore by hitting too many 3s, obviously the least of our worries right now.

 

[BugsyCT]

Nice little run for Norfolk St before the half. Signs of life.

 

[navery12]

Make sure to take note of future UConn starting PG Donovan Dent against Marquette tonight

 

[SouleMan]

Make sure to take note of future UConn starting PG Donovan Dent against Marquette tonight

Well so far Marquette can't guard him

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I have always like Gold on Marquette. He isn't much of an athlete, but he can shoot, and you can't teach height.
