Sunday 2nd Round (non-UConn games) thread

[superjohn]

I'd venture a guess it also has something to do with Pitt playing 3 games in 6 days. They're missing far more gimmes and free throws than usual. Which is not to suggest X wouldn't win anyway as they're pretty much playing their A game. But there's a reason no play-in winners make the Sweet 16.

UCLA was a play in winner and went to the final 4 in 2021. The first year of the play in VCU went to the final 4 with Shaka.

Anyone know who the refs are for our game today?

 

[WhereistheDove?]

This UK/K-state game is UGLY so far.

 

[BugsyCT]

K-State can't put the ball in the ocean so far.

 

[HuskyHawk]

K-State can't put the ball in the ocean so far.

And keeps throwing it away. Sloppy by both teams.

Both Kentucky and St. Mary's jacking 3s to start.

Kentucky's edge on the boards definitely trouble for K St.

St Mary’s? Getting an early jump on our game? Hope they tire themselves out!!

St Mary’s? Getting an early jump on our game? Hope they tire themselves out!!

I'm locked in lol.

Only the BE, Big XII and SEC still have 4 teams playing. B1G down to two.
ACC down to one - Miami.

SEC and Ivy League have been impressive; Big East can join them by winning out today. Big 12 was a top conference but overseeded, and have performed to quality not to seed. K State and Baylor, both overseeded B12 teams, may well lose today. Big Ten may loses its last two today.

I have Kentucky in a +750 parlay. I’ve got no shame taking Kentucky.

St Mary’s? Getting an early jump on our game? Hope they tire themselves out!!

It's not playing two games in 6 hours that ruins you, it's the between game flight from Greensboro to Albany.

 

[BugsyCT]

That was impressive showtime.

 

[JakeTheDog]

So awesome to see Keyontae Johnson ballin. Happy for the kid. Hopefully his shot starts falling

 

[BugsyCT]

Wow, the end of this 1st half really woke up. Some great highlight plays.

 

[REB1094]

Snooze fest of a first half between Kentucky and K State

Not really great defense, guys are just missing shots

 

[Ripper32]

 

[housekeys]

That was impressive showtime.

That kid Nowell is entertaining enough.

 

[SeattleHoop]

Nowell’s passing and vision is insane. So fun to watch.

 

[MyDorona]

Nowell is the most impressive player I’ve seen in this tourney. Anyone know if we were after Nowell when he was in the portal? NYC kid, Patrick School, ball handling that we’ve badly needed since the Hurley era began. Seems a no-brainer

 

[HuskyHoosier]

Nowell’s passing and vision is insane. So fun to watch.

Yeah he is exciting to watch. I think I’ve found a team I can root for outside of UConn

 

[Ripper32]

KSU 2nd Half +2? Go with better backcourt that can control game?

 

[MyDorona]

Yeah he is exciting to watch. I think I’ve found a team I can root for outside of UConn

Giving me 2011 Kemba vibes

 

[Blue Huskie]

ABC - Anybody But Calipari

Go K State!

 

[aceboon]

Nowell has been putting together a mixtape in this first half and has missed out on a bunch of assists from guys blowing layups and bricking open jumpers off of his set-ups. How did a NYC guy not get any looks from the local midmajor conferences coming out of high school and wind up at Little Rock?
