Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

[The Yakk]

They remind me of a less talented version of us. Good ball movement, screens, cuts, and unselfish play.

Great effort on defense too. They are smothering Wisconsin.

 

[uconn_jack]

How are they a 12 seed?

They’re 100% effort on everything. D, offense, rebounding. Just out-working Wisconsin.

 

[The Yakk]

JMU has no business being a 12 seed. They are one of the best teams I've seen so far.

Fighting over the top of every screen. There are in Wisconsin's face on every shot.

This Wisconsin team beat Purdue last week, by the way. I wonder whom they think is better?

 

[Drame]

Calling JMU to the final four right now..

 

[kobe]

wisconsin stinks, please get these bums off of our television screens.

Um, have you seen this Committee’s body of work??

I don't even know who they get next round but they're the type of team that makes a run in this tournament.

Duke. And they can beat Duke.

 

[uconn_jack]

Duke. And they can beat Duke.

Dukies are already posting their concerns.

 

[87Xfer]

church leaguers already making excuses about their 15 seed matchup??

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

People like to cry about spreadsheets.

Iowa State ain't making it to the Elite 8 either. Let's just be clear.

I have WSU in the elite 8, (but also had UK in the chip so what do I know).

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

JMU is one of the best teams I’ve seen play outside of us. Happy I have them going to the elite 8.

 

[Kolumbo]

Lets stick a fork in the SEC and a 72 oz steak. we have 2 cowboys choking like a southeastern basketball team

They look very impressive.Their passing reminds of us.

If Purdue was not the #1, 1 seed then why do they play a Grambling team that had to win the first 4 “play in”? Shouldn’t they play a fully rested squad and UConn plays a fatigued 16?

This whining has got to stop. After the huskies win by plenty people are watching other games to see if the huskies truly got the worst 16 seed?!

The premise that the overall 1 seed should have every possible advantage and play the worst of every subjective seed in every round is just wrong. And There’s a small difference between UConn, Purdue (#1 for more of season) and Houston -it’s not like our Huskies were 32-1 and dominated the trainings the entire season.

It’s almost enough to consider UConn never being the overall 1 again, if my fellow fans are going to be constantly searching for seeding gripes.

JMU and Wisconsin would be a great game without all the whistles.

Also, would we rather have played play-in tired Grambling in the Midwest bracket or Stetson in the East while playing in NYC and Boston?

I disagree. UConn should have refused its invitation to the NCAA because it had to play Stetson and Purdue got to play Grambling in the first round.

Picking Wisconsin to the Final Four is not looking great right now.

 

[Marat]

So it will be the JM Dukes vs Duke Sunday.

Duke better buckle up. JMU will give them everything they can handle.

 

[Scottobot]

I never heard of a school at Grand Canyon, but their fans are impressive. They traveled well, and are going bananas in that St Mary’s game. impressive

 

[Jimdish255]

Duke is not going to like JMU.
