NCAA Tournament Saturday (Day 3) Thread

If Arkansas could finish at the rim even if they have go through a little bumping they would be up by 20 plus
Arkansas has a lot of UConn this season team in them

The Johnnies will win. We aren’t losing to Calipari.

OTOH, if Johnnies could finish at the rim, they'd have another 20 pts plus.

St John's kept it within 3 they have been in worse situations.

St John's kept it within 3 they have been in worse situations.

Granted they're not a great shooting team, but they're way better than 23.8%. Regression to the mean and they'll be fine.

Get Richmond back and game changes

 

[nelsonmuntz]

That's not exactly how sports work.

That is pretty much how sports work. Game outcomes are correlated events, otherwise they would be completely random.

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.

Which is a nice bonus if St John's wins, but I'm not exactly basing my rooting interests on UConn getting an extra $50K next year

So how did 2014 UConn beat MSU, Florida, and Kentucky after squeaking by St Joes.

 

[mussels]

No flow to our game last night and no flow to this. Play, foul stop, play foul stop, play foul stop. Not a good watch.

Came to post the same. We were awful that game and thoroughly outplayed.

 

[superjohn]

It's hard to believe how terrible Luis and Kadary have been this game.

If you don't fix your flaws as you go on then you will be in trouble.

 

[Scoe]

Here's come a crucial next 4 minutes here, best thing Calipari can do is stay out of the way.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

I’ve never been a big fan of DJ Wagner but he looks good today.

 

[Scoe]

I'm just rooting for the team that wins here.

 

[alphasigko]

If you don't fix your flaws as you go on then you will be in trouble.

And the same team that started the season.

St. Joe's played a great game for 38 minutes, but Martelli only played 5 players and let foul trouble build up. That St. Joe's team was really good.

 

[James]

IF Cal wins this game... WOW many folks will have to eat crow he was getting eviscerated early in the season

 

[nelsonmuntz]

This game is getting away from St. John's.

 

[Scoe]

The next game should be the least of St John's worries right now. Yes St Joe's was very good far better then Dayton that year.

 

[cellocgg]

Arkansas was free money after Pitino's comments

 

[Edward Sargent]

Ark has is turning Johnnies into jump shooters which they aint

 

[geohusky]

ST John’s not used to being called for fouls

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I have always thought Kadary Richmond was wildly overrated. He can't shoot or shoot free throws, and he basically is a momentum player that has the occasional big game surrounded by a lot of mediocre performances. His agent has done a great job convincing the basketball world that he is more than a role player.
