These teams suck for 8/9 seeds. Roscoe Smith esque play from the Vandy kid. Tough to live that one down.
 
What was Princeton thinking?...down by 1...only 07 seconds on the clock...they go for three...and miss.

Drive for 2, get fouled, anything but that 3 attempt..

Tons of stupid on the part of Vandy there. And NW should have missed that last free throw on pupose.

Disagree. Nwestern is pretty decent. I bet they give the zags a game.

It kinda looked like he tried. It seems like pretty often people make when they try to miss.

And of course as the Vandy kid is fouling him needlessly, you can see his coach looking up the court not even focusing on the foul being committed in front of him.
 
Why in the fudge did the Vandy coach burn all his timeouts early in the second half. More Vandy stupid.
 
Is anybody else getting as sick and tired of guys pulling up and taking a deep, out-of-their-range 3-point shot at the end of games when it is not needed as I am? It is so freakin' annoying!

Just saw it for the 2nd time today... now a guy from Vanderbilt. This one was even worse than the Princeton player earlier (although that one was stupid and selfish as well), because this kid just dribbled and dribbled until he pulled up from 28 to 30 feet and heaved it - missing, of course. Both guys were thinking the same thing - "look at me as I swish a 3-pointer to win the game for my team. I'm gonna be on SportsCenter!" Instead of getting a much better shot by passing to an open teammate closer to the basket.

You are losing by 1 point. 1 POINT! A lay up or put back or short jump shot wins you the game just as much as these asinine 3-point heaves do... at a much better percentage.

Everyone wants to be a HERO - I hate HERO BALL! Too much watching and wanting to be a highlight on SportsCenter.

Everyone wants to be Steph Curry. Curry nails that shot a majority of the time...these two kids...not so much. However, in the Princeton game, that was a good look, and they had nothing better down low.
 
Just looked at Minnesota's record/schedule. How was that team a 5 seed, above both Cincinnati and SMU? The B1G isn't even that good this year!
 
N'Western wins, JLD happy

I'm sure their coaches are.
 
My remaining first round upsets are Xavier and URI. Completely wiffed on ETSU but looked decent for a good chunk of the game.
 
Northwestern just got good and I already hate them.
 
Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen a video yet of W. Virginia's Moon taking a Bucknell inbounds pass dead on to the face from about 18" away. Ball bounced off his face like a rocket.

Princeton play was within their offense, they don't have kids than can drive or initiate contact, offense is a backdoor layup or a 3. Again though if the passer saves that last dribble and gets it to his teammate quicker the defense can't recover to contest and the kid would've stepped into it more and likely made it.

No one was in the high post on that play. Someone should fave flashed to the free throw line.
 
Mounties pitching a shutout so far. I predict that will not keep up.

This is the internet. God, are you 87?

Did not realize people having differing opinions from your own was so hard for you to deal with. Thank goodness for ignore.
