Thursday 1st Round games thread

[auror]

Is that our favorite Timmy Allen playing for Texas now?

No, but his buddy/teammate Sir'Jabari Rice cooking in the NCAA tournament again. Getting flashbacks.

 

[auror]

Rice was 3/6 against us from 3 last year, 4/5 in the first 12 minutes tonight. He was B12 6th man of the year.

 

[Ripper32]

Iowa getting reamed now.

 

[auror]

Hope everyone saw that Auburn was playing in Birmingham and bet accordingly.

I did. Plus, that Auburn team may not be Pearl's most talented, but they play hard.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Duke is so collectively big that we would have to dust off Samson against them. It's 7 footer after 7 footer.

They’re going to get to a final four and go through MSG to do it. /barf

 

[storrsroars]

Hate to admit it, but with my South region pretty much fried, I kinda need Duke to go very far to have any shot at winning anything. I have them in FF.

17999 to go

None in any of the BY groups I'm in. We suck at this.

 

[storrsroars]

Time for ORU's "kill shot", ya think?

 

[storrsroars]

Willie Nelson must still be deep in delinquent tax debt to be pitching credit cards.

 

[SouleMan]

Iowa starting to hit some 3s. One or two more and this game will get interesting (I hope)

4 pt game under 5 min to go

 

[auror]

Auburn somehow milking the clock too early and playing out of control at the same time. And then not getting back on D.

Serious choke job over the last 5 minutes. And disappointing since I got them weeks ago at +1600 to make the Final Four.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

If I was McCaffrey, I would never have Iowa play a straight up defense given how bad the team sucks on defense. Man traps, zone traps, 1-3-1, 3-2, basically anything but man-to-man or a 2-3. Just try to slow the opponent's scoring down enough so Iowa can shoot their way to a win.

 

[Ripper32]

Barkley just said that Texas A&M will beat Texas by 15 in round 2.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Took advantage of Jadwyn being the Ivy tournament site.

True but they still won and deserved it!!

 

[Edward Sargent]

Well Filipoqski came to play- he’s good

 

[Tenspro2002]

Auburn is going to win here, but making it about as difficult as possible.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Congrats on the great season Houston, you get to play Auburn in Birmingham in the second round

They did only play 4 real teams all season to get a 1 seed and the final 4 in their backyard, no tears for them.

 

[Devland]

Appropriate Duke scores 74 in their first game. They will lose the championship game 77-74

 

[auror]

Fran McCaffrery no Sweet 16s in 10 appearances. Only coach in last 20 years with more than 5 wins and no S16s.

 

[alexd]

Iowa hasn't made the sweet 16 since 1999 when we beat them on the way to title #1. That's a long time.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Big 10 vs. MWC = Resistable Force vs. Movable Object

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Fran McCaffrery no Sweet 16s in 10 appearances. Only coach in last 20 years with more than 5 wins and no S16s.

And half the team came from his balls. The next Jim B

 

[auror]

Colgate making a little run. Within 9 with 8 min to go, despite Texas shooting >60% from 3 and Colgate only 25%. Definitely looked like they've belonged. They'd probably have beaten a lot of teams based on this performance so far (definitely Arizona). Got jobbed with the seeding.

 

[HeGotGame]

Mountain West should not be allowed to get more than 1 bid moving forward

 

[uconnever]

Holy moly Chris Collins looks old.

Yep I had no idea it was him. I knew he coached there but I thought they were showing someone else, but it was him. Lol.

 

[storrsroars]

Got a kick out of this from ESPN's schedule for tomorrow's games:

wtg Greensboro, you hoops hot spot!

 

[auror]

Texas just turned up the D ad Colgate got nothing for the next 6 minutes. Pretty glad I have them going deep. Strong D, veteran guards.
