Play-In Games Thread

There's still a place for midrange jumpers in this game. With a defense and height like Miss St., that's about all you get.

They are bad at any part of offense aside from rebounding. I just don't get how they even won as many games as they did. How did they beat Marquette?

Pitt isn't even playing decent defense.

Pitt is playing good schematic defense for the matchup, ie the paint is packed, they're cheating way off shooters, and they're swarming the ball inside the arc. But yeah they're a bad defensive team in general.
 
MSST misses a three, misses a tip, buzzer sounds as they miss the tip dunk

Ohh the coaching by Capel was good (schematically) but they still were really bad defensively. Even packing the paint they couldn't stay in front of the ball and couldn't rebound.
 
Let's go Hurley brothers!

Ummm. FDU doesn’t look like a 16. Still don’t have them moving on, but pretty impressive..

FDU was the first team I got media credentials with. I know you’re not supposed to root for teams on press row, but I became a fan of their team and coach Anderson after that game.

They’re dominating. I feel like every time I watch them, Ansley Almonor has a huge game.

Yeah, it would be a minor miracle if FDU were to win, but they do pressure the ball and can shoot it. Cross your fingers and pray if you are them.
 
Sun Devils played like this against USC in the Pac 12 tournament. It was a blitz of defense and shot making,

I know he is coaches brother and all that and I respect their relationship. Fine. But to people of a certain age he is still Bobby Hurley , a little rat faced heel playing for a little rat faced coach. He was not a likeable player at all, and that’s not because he was really, really great ( and he was all that) , but yeah , yuck. Out of respect for our coach I won’t say “ good”. That’s it.

If you lived through the laettner Hurley era you’d understand

Laetner was always the villain on that team. I remember when he stepped on Timberlake. Hurley wasn't on that villain level.

If FDU plays and shoots this well agaisnt Purdue they could have a real shot.

No, they don't.

Yes, FDU is very well coached and can be dangerous at times - but the reality is they will be lucky if they beat the spread (+22.5) against Purdue. They just beat #8 team in the SWAC, let's not buy into the hype from TV announcers during for the First Four.

This is a team that finished #2 in the lowest rated conference (NEC) and didn't even win the conference tourney. FDU has losses this year to Hartford, Sacred Heart, and CCSU.
