NCAA Tournament, Rd 3 - Friday

[RitzLuce1]

If I thought NCAA refs would call games the way they usually do, and not allow St. Johns to get away with so much, I’d agree. But two games in a row, against Kansas and Duke of all teams, they are letting it go.

Couldn’t you say the same thing if we face Duke? Reed will pick up 2 fouls in the first 5 mins.

SJU should put the press back on. Duke's ball handling sucks.

Duke is tough to stop when they can set up in the halfcourt. They have some skilled 1-on-1 players.

 

[Flipside]

How do refs miss a shot clock violation?

because it hit the rim?

 

[aceboon]

Bama with 8 made 3s in the first half on 47%, will probably need at least another 8 more in the 2nd half to have a chance at the upset. In 2024 they were the team that caused the most stress just cuz they bomb away playing the math game.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

because it hit the rim?

sick burn after someone else already posted it.

 

[Lafayette]

because it hit the rim?

it did barely

 

[UCfor3]

I'm rooting for Duke because I think we have a better shot at beating them. Styles make fights and the Johnnies style and athleticism gives us fits. Duke would also be more unfamiliar with our offensive actions.

 

[tuvent08]

I want Scheyer v Dan

 

[nelsonmuntz]

SJU needs a high single digit lead because the refs will step in near the end of the game is close.

This is right

Duke is a really good offensive team. I want SJU.

 

[superjohn]

Johnnies ain't used to this. Duke hip checking, charging into guys...

 

[Drame]

Duke is a really good offensive team. I want SJU.

I dont think like this considering we havent played yet.

 

[UCfor3]

Duke is a really good offensive team. I want SJU.

We would certainly have to play really well to beat either.

 

[mauconnfan]

Right now just want to beat MSU don’t care who survives this, really don’t.

It wasn't a shot clock violation. The ball hit the rim.

They can’t press Foster. It was working well against Boozer who isn’t nearly the ball handler.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Silas starting. Good.

Breeding officiating. Ugh.

 

[UCfor3]

Duke has to get out on these shooters.

 

[aceboon]

Feels like I haven't seen Boozer take a shot in the paint since the ACCT without at least 1 pump fake

 

[huskyinfl]

Put'em in a body baaaaaaaaag

 

[Kowalski]

Dylan Darling always seems to have a pick pocket steal in every game.

Darling picks a lot of pockets. But he also gets away with a lot contact when he’s guarding on the ball.

 

[mussels]

Lots of jinxes tonight. We need to beat MSU first

 

[nelsonmuntz]

This is one of the worst games Hopkins has played this season. He is terrible at both ends.

The box score doesn't look right unless they didn't score his miss early in the second half as a shot.

 

[tuvent08]

The individual talent level of Duke is no joke.

 

[Karmacop]

Is it just me, or is Boozer getting away with some illegal screens?

 

[gsmooth]

Right now just want to beat MSU don’t care who survives this, really don’t.

Exactly.Whoever wins this game is moot if UConn doesn't beat MSU

 

[uconngb]

Jawnnies have 10 3s, Dookies have 3

I couldn’t have been more wrong about that one

 

[Hoophound]

SJU should win this game. Darling took a UFC forearm to the face at midcourt a while ago. Boozer is a moving screen machine.

Hopkins can take this game over with the midrange game.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Is it just me, or is Boozer getting away with some illegal screens?

He did a minute ago, stuck his hip out.
