The Official Tourney Thread

Yeah 95 UConn held (or holds?) the record for the most points in the first 3 games of the tournament.
 
Truly amazing. That 95 team, along with that 2006 team were the two most talented UCONN squads never to make a final 4, though I give the nod to 2006 as having more raw talent, that 95 team had more heart by a mile.

First 3 games of tourney
2017 Kansas 288 points
1995 Uconn 295 points

First 4 games of tourney
2017 Kansas ??? points
1995 Uconn 391 points

Sadly that scoring outburst ended in a 102-96 shoot out with UCLA.
 
Have players always been allowed to wear long sleeve shirts under their jersey in College hoops? I remember when it seemed like we were the only team with a bunch of guys wearing tees under their jersey but can't remember guys wearing long sleeves like Macura for Xavier.
 
Arizona shoots so well. Xavier is putting up a good fight, but they are outmatched.
 
They should treat a flop as a delay of game. First one is a warning, second is a technical. Allen is flopping all over the court.

Seems to be a new rule. This article in 2015 made it sound illegal at the time. LINK

Some guys pull it off. Macura looks like a clown. As you probably know, you will see several guys on the floor at a time with sleeves in the NBA. Long sleeves and short shorts. Who would have thunk?
 
Arizona pushes Xavier's cutter in the back with two hands. That should be a flagrant.

Interesting how fashion changes. It went from short shorts to incredibly baggy shorts with Arkansas and Michigan to what we have now. Our guys used to wear baggy shorts and some big t's. Now they all wear fairly tight shorts and jerseys.
 
Xavier doesn't have the horses but they are tough as nails, Mack is an excellent coach.

They're shooting 43% tonight, 22% from 3...

A lot of them were contested shots. Those drives that they are finishing are really tough because they are shooting floaters from 8 feet out.
 
Zona heating up.

Who does this 55 from Xavier think he is? Trying to be cool and/or different?
 
Epic choke by Arizona.

Xavier proved me wrong and then some. Jeez, never saw this coming, and that was with Sumner.
 
Everyone loves that hero ball. Jesus. Cheers to Chris Mack for calling perfection with the two for one there.
 
Happy X won. Enjoy Mack while you can. Trier is a bad man. I don't like the idea of granting FT's for loose ball fouls - really hurt UA at the end.
