NCAA Tournament Saturday (Day 3) Thread

[Scoe]

That’s a joke of a flagrant.

It was the right call.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

No it isn't, and the undercut by #1 on Luis a few minutes ago was a flat out dirty play that would get someone a punch in the face if they did it in a pickup game. I don't think this confrontation occurred in a vacuum.

You call three seconds in pickup games.

 

[superjohn]

Spike Lee left his home at the Garden. I swear this guy lives in basketball arenas.

 

[navery12]

It was the right call.

If that was the right call then I assume the refs will be calling 15 flagrant fouls today

 

[superjohn]

Johnnies are starting to crank it up.

 

[Ripper32]

Arkansas needs to survive to get brazllle and aidoo back in 2nd half.,

 

[shizzle787]

St. John's is going to win by 20. Smith, Wilcher, and Richmond are all sitting on the bench with 2 fouls and SJU now has the lead. That's a yikes for Arkansas.

The refs have to set a tone, clearly made no play on the ball. Just calling what I see and not sticking to a narrative. I know your rooting for Arkansas here I get it.

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.

The committee giving Purdue a regional in Indianapolis as a 4-seed was certainly a choice. Sampson should be irked.

 

[Dove]

That Richmond miss...oof

Yep, I see SJU gradually building a big lead. Cal teams have no discipline and will get progressively dumber as the game goes on.

There are few posters on this board that I would rather see undercut someone at the rim in a pickup game just to see what happens next than you.

 

[superjohn]

The refs stink in this game.

 

[alphasigko]

Refs are whistle happy in the Johnnies game

you 2 are funny

 

[UCfor3]

Our bigs wouldn't be in foul trouble all the time if we had better defenders at other positions. More Stewart, Ball, Mahaney and recently, bad knees Diarra = more fouls on whoever is under the basket.

But we don't have good defenders and you are talking about UConn playing 2 bigs at once this year. If the queen had balls she'd be the king. Arkansas has all 3 bigs in foul trouble before the half.

Pitino is a bad person there for every call against Arkansas is a bad call, Pitino paid off the refs.

Nah. Unlike teams in our conference Arkansas has the dudes to keep up. This is gonna be a close one

 

[Scoe]

Good response by Arkansas they need this lead more then St John's does.

 

[RuffRuff]

Luis pulling a McNeeley in this one. All the concerns of the StJ offense coming through here, set back shooting 30 years. Can StJ pull their patented 2nd half knockout punch?

Fland is a good looking freshman PG - wondering what are chances were there when recruiting against Nowell.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

St. Johns looked terrible for most of the game. If they are lucky enough to win this game, they have no shot of winning another one.

I'm not rooting for anyone here, could care less who wins in any non UConn game. As long as it's close I'm good

Awful take.

That's not exactly how sports work.

We do get paid for StJ getting further into the NCAA. Dropping out of this tournament early as a conference doesn't really help to future years perception of conference strength.
