Sunday 2nd Round (non-UConn games) thread

[firstnline]

Marquette hangin tough

 

[Scoe]

4:20 left in the half

 

[Doctor Hoop]

And now a 3 point game. On to the UConn game!

 

[BugsyCT]

Marquette's about done. Had a nice season, won the Big East titles, but the NCAA Tourney is a different animal.

MSU is just always tough in this tourney.

Shaka hasn't advanced to the 2nd weekend since the miracle VCU Final 4 run

 

[Ripper32]

Creighton is shooting well tonight.

This is what I wrote during the BET:

"I'm going to say something crazy: Xavier has a much better chance to advance in the tourney than Marquette. Of course, with a 2 seed, Marquette might have an easy path as it gets the 7-10 game in the 2nd round. But the BE does these teams no favors. This is not a team that can compete with the best in the US. Kolek wins POY in this league, which is insane to me."

Miami looks pissed after that so-so game against Drake. Killing Indiana off the dribble.

 

[Ripper32]

Everyone and their mother bet the hoosiers because of TJD.

 

[Ripper32]

11 threes for Creighton. 3 from Farabello.

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Creighton joining us in the Sweet 16,* 3 BE teams representing.

*Barring an epic meltdown. Up 15 with 4:52 left

 

[Hurleyman216]

Big East >Big 12. Too bad Marquette got beat because the Big East is flexing on the rest of these conferences

 

[KingAG]

Marquette ruined what would’ve been a dominant night for the BE

 

[BugsyCT]

Impressive effort by Creighton thus far. Still need to finish the last 5 minutes, but having 3 Big East teams in the Sweet 16 is a solid statement made by the conference.

The refs are helping Baylor stretch this game out. They have to train the refs to stop rewarding players for fishing for fouls. Play basketball.

 

[Ripper32]

Indiana's guards are playing in wet cement. Miami blowing by them.

 

[KingAG]

This game isn’t over

Kolek having probably his worst game of the year.

Nembhard currently having his best game of the year.

 

[Dibbie]

Didn’t understand the Baylor love all season, with their high ranking and seed. Slow and boring. Perfect matchup for Creighton

 

[Tommyboy]

Creighton getting hammered by Baylor on defense. Calling 25% of the hand/body checks.

I am pretty good on D too when I can just hack the person I am defending.

 

[superjohn]

Bummer for Marquette but big day for Creighton, UConn, and Xavier.

 

[Ripper32]

Miami looks like a final four team.

 

[Goldenflash]

Well, I believe there are three BE teams in the Sweet 16.

 

[pj]

Miami looks like a final four team.

That game is still young.
