NCAA Tournament Saturday (Day 3) Thread

[BugsyCT]

Purdue game was a ho-hummer. You put a mid-major coming off an upset as a stand-alone game and that's what you risk getting.

Looking forward to this St John's game.

 

[Ripper32]

Arkansas is very similar to SJU. Maybe more athletic

 

[nelsonmuntz]

St. John’s looks terrible early.

 

[Ripper32]

This looks like a paper wraps rock matchup. Ado and brazille causing major disruption.

 

[Scottobot]

Arkansas double bigs looking pretty good against St John’s. maybe we should have tried that

Purdue beat a team whose best 'player' was the boom box manager

CAN ST JOHNS GET A FOUL CALL ?!?!?
Getting mugged out there...

If 2 of our 3 bigs were 38% 3 point shooters I'm sure we would have

NO!!!! Double bigs are absolutely forbidden, and even thinking about it risks breaking the space time continuum and ending all life on earth.

Ah. Set an impossibly high standard for playing a double big that our smaller players don't have to meet. Good strategy there.

Is Calipari doing mind games on Pitino by wearing a jacket that looks like a tablecloth in an Italian restaurant?

Maybe spoke too soon. Going to be battle though.

 

[Scoe]

St John’s is in fine shape here.

No I'm saying 2 of Arkansas' big men are literally shooting 38% from 3

 

[Giddyup5]

Love the pace of the game. Fun to watch.

 

[uconnblueinky]

2 fouls on both Wilcher and Kadary with 13 left in the first half

 

[storrsroars]

Gonna be interesting if Kadary and Wilcher sit for 12 minutes till halftime. BYers who claimed StJ's would get in foul trouble early due to their style of play may have been right.

 

[Ripper32]

This pace is wild. Arkansas thwarting SJU a few times at the rim.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Luis is 0 for 6 early. Counts as looking terrible.

 

[boog204]

High level athleticism and pace. Puts into perspective how methodical we play and how subpar our quickness/athleticism is. Really curious what we do to try to remedy it bc Hurley definitely knows it’s an issue.

 

[Ripper32]

Arkansas has to like this pace and matchup.

 

[Scoe]

We'll see how St John's responds here.

 

[Scottobot]

Of Brazil’s and Aidu, the two starting bigs, only Brazil’s shoots 3s and he has only made 22 all year.

He’s been going with the redneck car salesman look at Arkansas.
