Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

[nelsonmuntz]

I would hit some of these 3's that Marquette are missing. They are WIDE OPEN. Kind of feels like Marquette is going to start hitting these open looks.

My son and my bro in law went to NU. They are otherwise UConn fans. Now so long as we hold up our end of the bargai, a little family fun, although my son will probably be traveling and not able to watch. My son lives in California and called a few minutes ago. For whatever reason, his feed was 30 seconds ahead of mine so i reacted to plays he had already seen. Back to the Future.

Does this push our tip back to like 3:20?

A good time to remind folks that Shaka hasn't been out of the first weekend since the VCU FF miracle run in 2011

Marquette better start playing some defense.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

If Calhoun was coaching Marquette after that last sequence, 5 UConn players would be up off the bench at the scorer's table.

 

[mike012]

Not sure what Marquette is doing.

This WKU team is the longest most athletic looking 15 seed I’ve ever seen. Nice draw for the Big East

As a Northwestern grad I was rooting for them here but I think a tougher matchup for UConn. Don't like the momentum they have coming off an OT win shooting so well! But, clearly we have a size, talent and coaching advantage. They run some good stuff which will be tougher to prepare for. Even though they beat Purdue I don't think it's the same as us. Will be a great test. This bracket is brutal!

Kolek 4-5 (2-3) is a good sign for MU

Not if they're losing...

I listened to Field of 68 the other night. UConn does not want to face this FAU team, Johnell Davis is a nightmare matchup.

Sure thing, Jeff.

Marquette game getting interesting, still early though

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

Marquette is in trouble

 

[superjohn]

24-5 run on Marquette, yikes.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Kolek is passing up on a lot of quality looks at the basket for kick-outs. He’s gotta finish.

 

[Marat]

24-5 run on Marquette, yikes.

It's not easy to win in the tournament.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Marquette is in trouble

I don't care how much better a team is than their opponent if they miss every shot they take.

 

[Jaydumo20]

Could Marquette beat Bobby flay?

 

[uconnfan68]

Marq only up 3??

Down 9 now.

Thats kolek . He looks relatively healthy though.

Marquette has to keep this under 10

 

[navery12]

Do we have a different officiating crew or do they double up? Those guys were god-awful.

Different officials for our game

 

[LetsGoUC]

Can Marquette please not embarrass this conference???? CMON

 

[August_West]

Gold is killing them

 

[UConNick]

Speaking of officials, John Gaffney sighting doing the Marquette game. Damn shame he’s not in Brooklyn for us… we’re 36-4 over the last ten seasons when he does our games.

 

[NJHusky]

Down 9 now.

Wow...WKU only up 9?

Maybe that will help...
