Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

[Ctedgeman]

Everybody was talking UK up so much lately, so I had them going very far in both my brackets. But I don't even care. Love seeing them go down

 

[HuskyHawk]

I DONT CARE THAT MY BRACKET IS RUINED

LMAOOOOOOO

I think I picked every game wrong so far.

There is no way calipari survives this. Right or wrong that fanbase will ride him out on an ox cart

 

[huskyjawz]

Kensucky. Love this tournament!

 

[B1GEast]

The portal changed the game. A D 2 transfer hit all those 3's

5 star recruits are not as valuable as seasoned upper class men

Cal is no longer relevant

 

[Ha Who]

Next year when they go on a two game streak the media will say nobody wants to play them

 

[BugsyCT]

That’s why this tournament is great as is. No more expansion needed.

Give Oaktown their props, Squidman

 

[August_West]

There are analysts who are still gonna argue that this KY team should get the ring. since their ceiling is so high and such

Rob Dauster is going to have to start taking viagra now that Reed Sheppard isn’t popping him any longer.

 

[UconnU]

In their defense, they got an atrocious draw this gritty college transfer vet led Oakland team w Rocket Watts coming back.

 

[That Guy]

I had UK losing to Texas Tech in the 2nd round anyway

Kentucky board is absolutely losing their minds right now

He’d need to fall on his sword and pledge to build with more 4 stars who stay, fewer one and dones etc. Same thing Schuyer said (and hasn’t quite done). The lure of the one and done is hard to resist.

Will be wiping his tears with cold hard cash

 

[B1GEast]

It's Marquette's bracket to lose. Kentucky was their obstacle

 

[Gutter King]

Does anyone think he's going to drag his up there and humble brag in the postgame presser?? What a great day.

(And UK fans, Danny is a pipe dream...might as well put it out of your heads now).

The portal changed the game.

And the Covid year. As much as everyone hated it, that 5th year allowed a lot of under the radar players to get a shot.

Had them losing to us in the NC. Oh well. Lmao

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Kentucky’s Rivals board seems to have gone down lol.

[UConnJim]

That game is why the NCAA tournament is the greatest!!

 

[Vowelguy]

Very impressed with the Oakland coach in the interview

When I think seasoned upper class men:

[UCFan1513]

I despise this thread

Start another one on the providence board then

 

[husky429]

How long until Justin Edwards enters the portal?

 

[UConnKev]

Kentucky’s rival site is currently down

 

[HuskyHawk]

And the Covid year. As much as everyone hated it, that 5th year allowed a lot of under the radar players to get a shot.

It’s always been true that good 23 year olds will kick the crap out of great 19 year olds. But we’ve never had so many older players in the game before.

 

[TheHorde]

To do that AND then pay the next guy $8-9 million per year? I’ll believe it when I see it. He might get bought out. But I doubt they’ll do that and hire a top of the sport candidate at top dollar.

 

[uconngb]

A. Anyone who watched KY play this year and had them advancing past the first weekend, shame on you.
B. They can’t afford to get rid of the worst coach in all of major college hoops. It is so delightful.

 

[UCLJ0211]

Can the Oakland dude with the widow’s peak hit the portal?
