Thursday 1st Round games thread

[Hey Adrien!]

Maryland's home/away splits are insane:

Home: 16-1
Away or Neutral: 5-11

That was the major reason why I picked West Virginia to win, but also because I like Huggy Bear, feel kinda bad for Tre Mitchell after two awful head coaches and have learned to appreciate Erik Stevenson as a player.

James Okonkwo is fun to watch. Active big man who didn't play basketball until he was 16 playing once a week in a local club league. Grew up in England as a tennis player. More on his story here

Furman with alligator blood. Not going away.

WVU grab the damn ball!

 

[Ripper32]

Maryland is 12-1 when they surpass 68 pts.

 

[auror]

Furman ties it up!

Furman hangin tough

Furman with alligator blood. Not going away.

WVU grab the damn ball!

There were four WVU hands on that ball at one point. And yet MD still comes away with it.

WVU is blowing it. I had them in 2 of my 3 brackets.

Stevenson 4/17 for the 'Neers.

 

[auror]

Utah St a top 10 3-point shooting team in the country. 0/11 from 3 at the half, only down 4.

Tourney is starting off great. On this weekend, I always fondly remember 1996 and everyone sucking up huge bandwidth on Pointcast, crashing corporate servers.

Jahmir young with 6 TOs and 4 fouls. Not great for Maryland

 

[phillionaire]

These reviews are insufferable

Moment has looked too big for Furman down the stretch. Too many turnovers and when they do get a shot off it's a terrible, contested shot

 

[auror]

FURMAN!

 

[superjohn]

That was sick!

 

[Marat]

This is March

 

[awfuldan]

Reverse jinx ✅

 

[87Xfer]

OMG Furman!!! Takes the lead @ 2.2 to go!

 

[storrsroars]

FURMAN!

That was a helluva three seconds.

 

[dvegas]

LOL UVA. UMBC now Furman

 

[aceboon]

Clark been in college way too long to do something that stupid

 

[millertime7774]

There's the 4-13 upset - we good.

 

[Marat]

Wow. Should give UConn incentive to come.out strong as a #4 falls.

 

[87Xfer]

There's the 4-13 upset - we good.

doomed

Lets hope this is the only 13/4 game like this. Outside of their championship, where they actually had some offense for a change, Virginia is so much like Pitt used to be. Too many close, low scoring games with a too small a margin for error in tourney play.
