NCAA Tournament Day 3 Thread

I can't believe this garbage UCLA team is going to the sweet 16.

and the selection commitee is probaly patting themselves on the back now for putting them in acting like they knew theyd make it to the sweet 16 all along. grrrrr

I almost forgot how obnoxious Kentucky fans are. Every time they score the fans react as if it were a go ahead basket with ten seconds left in the game.

I agree. Cinci is just a physical team, and they'll get fouls called on them. I just don't get how UK is allowed to go over the back on all of their offensive rebounds and consistently get away with it.

To be fair Deberry has been pushing UK in the back every position also. I think it's been fair.

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

Good try cinci.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

And just like that the game is getting away from them.

 

[tzznandrew]

Down 7 at half.

They're not likely to win, but they never were. Keep playing tough, keep fouling when necessary, and they have a chance to keep this a game.

 

[storrsroars]

Poor tailoring job on back of Squid's suit. Definitely not Savile Row.

 

[kobe]

Gave them a run for 17 minutes. No shame in that. Our whole team comes back next year minus Sanders. Good learning experience.

 

[BugsyCT]

Not over yet - Cincy's still in it, but they've missed some bunnies. Game's getting real chippy now.

 

[storrsroars]

Going down to Consol after Cincy game ends to see if any cheap tix available for tonight. Nova & ND playing.

What is up with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson's FT routine? Adds in a full body wiggle immediately before every shot.

They are incredibly obnoxious... But I gotta give those idiots credit, they travel like no one else.

duke get's it every year, but kentuckys road to the FF is easy... no reason why one of wisconsin, AZ, UNC, OSU aren't in that region

 

[UConnSwag11]

love watching russell, but if AZ can beat UK I want AZ to move on

Honestly I think ND has one of the best shots of any team to take them down. UK is very meh offensively but they make up for it with their defense. ND has some serious offense, with 4 guys shooting over 40% from 3. The main issue I see for them is rebounding. Auguste is going to have to show up.

They're the best 1 seed. They should get the worst 2 seed and the worst 4 seed, by the S-Curve.

Who is the worst 2 seed? Kansas.

Is UNC the worst 4 seed? I don't think so.

By S-Curve, they are also supposed to have the best 3 seed in their bracket. That might be ND, who just won the ACC.

Which one is with Kentucky again?

Wisconsin got the last 1 seed, and they got the best 2 seed (Zona) and the perhaps the best 4 seed (UNC).

I hope Georgia State wins the tournament. Such a fun team, with surprising talent. RJ Hunter is an NBA player, Harrow transferred from UK, Ware from Louisville, and they've got some solid role players. They can't rebound, but they force a ton of turnovers. Fun team for sure.

Does Georgia state get credit with recruiting those kids......

Arizona looks pretty good, although they always do the first weekend.

if they can get to UK and stay out of foul trouble I think they can beat them...they would just need to not let UK get any momentum

Nice to bring a kid like York off the bench.

I can't wait for the TJ McConnell media bonanza.

I am not going to count on anyone to beat Kentucky whose coach hasn't shown he can win big games in March.

Xavier looks like the slowest team left in the dance. Georgia State is getting to the hole at will.

 

[storrsroars]

2 tix. $25 each, face $88. Nice view.
Wish I could figure out to post a photo from phone here

 

[nelsonmuntz]

If Jay Wright blows this game, he joins the Dixon/JTIII/Few category of big game choker.

I am a big fan of Jalen Reynolds on Xavier. Really good low post scorer.

 

[Giddyup5]

Refs getting unnecessarily involved in Xavier- G St game...
