The Official Tourney Thread

[Mano]

I will take some good schadenfreude any day of the week. Does that make me a petty person? Meh.

 

[Horatio]

Good for Frank Martin

 

[Jaker]

Just like that Ucla burying 3's

 

[beakumhawks]

The Fighting Frank Martins move on. Down goes Dook! Down goes Dook!

Just get me a Cincy win now...

Nothing better than seeing a 2 seed Duke have to roll the ball at the end of a game in order to save clock . Pure futile desperation. The refs couldn't even save them and they tried. Beautiful !!!!

Better than pornography? YES!

 

[Blueballer]

DOOK elimination day is always nice.

 

[awfuldan]

Gary Clark is great. It's nice to be able to root for him after a long season of rooting against him.

 

[superjohn]

Ratface is obviously an amazing coach and has the hugs and hardware to prove it but he's racked up a lot of these early tournament losses as a high seed in recent years.

 

[BlueDogs]

Cincy must have taken defensive lessons from KO - just getting murdered on the 3 line.

 

[nomar]

Cincy hung tough for a while but man UCLA has some great players.

 

[superjohn]

Missed the first half, shocked Duke couldn't build up a bigger lead with South Carolina making nothing in the first half.

Yeah that was a run they could ill afford to allow. Now it's uphill.

 

[BlueDogs]

Yup. Just don't have the firepower to hang.

 

[Bryan Lord]

Let's go cinci

"Mick Cronin's best offensive team evah" is not going to be enough I fear.

 

[Ripper32]

Duke is 5-7 versus the SEC in NCAA Tournament Play. Wow.

 

[Travelman6]

UCLA is just too good IMO. It is a shame cincy and uconn are stuck in the aac because they will continue to get poor seeds in March and have to face tough 1st and 2nd round matchups, tougher than they deserve (ucla, kansas, etc.).

It is an absolute shame cincy got a 6 this year and I do not even like them, but getting this match up, I knew they were screwed..

Duke is 5-7 versus the SEC in NCAA Tournament Play. Wow.

Really? That is shocking actually. Where did you find the stat? I bet there is no other conference, maybe other than the old Big east, that has a better record vs duke. I wonder if there will be less of a possibility of duke playing an sec team in the future, ha.

They need a three guy with a hot hand or they are dead.

 

[nomar]

They need a three guy with a hot hand or they are dead.

Or Karl Hess officiating

 

[kobe]

THEY ARE A LOT BETTER THAN US.

[UConn_Top_Dog]

Cincy laying an egg... I guess UConn is the only one that can get it done in March....

 

[UChusky916]

Cumberland is a freshman and he's had 5 huge buckets down low for Cinci. He will be a problem for UConn for the foreseeable future.
