The Official Tourney Thread

[Doctor Hoop]

It's not over yet, but Rhode Island needs to play some D. They were fortunate to get the steal down 2

 

[storrsroars]

Good bye rhody it was fun

I see dead people.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

That was not out of bounds on RI! Wow...

 

[August_West]

Wow nice response by RI

 

[Jaker]

This place is packed, sold out. A ton of URI fans.

 

[Travelman6]

They might be able to hold on. We had some missed potential already for upsets (Nwestern, arkansas, wsu) but maybe the upset gods are poised to strike, maybe this will actually happen!

 

[storrsroars]

Damn, Ennis is Carl Krauser redux.

 

[storrsroars]

That was a classic Duke dive.

 

[Robertelamin]

That was a poor decision by Matthews.

 

[superjohn]

Get the ball to Jared Terrell.

 

[Hurleyman216]

Literally every call in this tourney going in favor of the P5...that was a bad charge call. On the flip side you have Berry on UNC steam roll someone and no call....just awful

 

[storrsroars]

Dammit.

 

[superjohn]

Man I'm hating this tournament.

 

[Jaker]

Wow

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

this tournament is stupid this year

 

[TXHuskyFan]

The ducks are so unlikeable. Hated them in Maui, and still think they are scum.

 

[Tenspro2002]

The lower seeded chokes are just too predictable.

 

[storrsroars]

URI took themselves out of the game.

 

[swami7774]

URI killed themselves slowing the offense down when they were up 8.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

i will probably skip the first half of Cincinnati. Given that it is the last game of the weekend, the officials may want to put it away early so they can get home.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Absolutely shocking officiating this tournament. I'm done watching. See you guys next year. Go Wisconsin I guess

 

[storrsroars]

Cincy needs to represent.

 

[scotty0330]

Danny Hurley is a good coach. Offers should be rolling in. Not sure how his brother got a p5 gig ahead of him. Think he is the better coach of the two by a mile.

Uri had to play against refs...not easy. They make it real hard for these upsets to happen. Foul discrepancy was an abomination.

 

[boog204]

another brilliant late possession... On a side note, Dorsey had a game. 27pts and only missed one shot. I know at one point we were in tight with him, then everyone seemingly backed off, we got in late, and then Ni$e got him to Oregon. Kid can really play.

 

[mike012]

First weekend was interesting but I'm all done too.... tourney is painful to watch.

 

[beakumhawks]

Baylor and USC game tied. If it is close at the end Scott Drew will find a way to lose.

 

[Robertelamin]

It seems like none of the teams have a timeout at the end and they all throw up a ridiculous 3 pointer.

 

[gtcam]

Oregon is one of those punk teams that I can not stand - like some of the old Pitt and lots of Cuse teams
But that Dorsey kid had a great game as did Robinson of Rhody = if the Rhody big Martin had ant contribution, they win
PAC12 is making up for all those recent horrible years but they are not the conference of champions
Too bad but URIne

First weekend was interesting but I'm all done too.... tourney is painful to watch.

I hate leaving beating the evil of college basketball to teams you know will fall on their face when it counts.

The trend of P5 schools getting calls continues to be impossible to ignore, but that's about as bad of a choke as I've seen this tournament from Rhode Island there. They choked it away two separate times and at no point did it seem like it was because Oregon was more talented.

Hurley's a mystery to me. He obviously has tremendous upside as a coach, but his teams lose those type of games all the time. Benching his best player down the stretch - and the proceeding to surrender two crucial offensive rebounds - was pretty questionable. That game unfolded like a tragic play, and make no mistake, that was a Rhode Island team that could have gotten to the final four. The difference in talent between them and a school like Kansas is a lot smaller than people realize.
