Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

[auror]

College basketball is so interesting. Oakland wins. We see others high seeds play like Giant killers and KU is making Samford look like an intramural team. How do we identify which high seeds are actually dangerous. I thought this one was.

It's very hard to press an athletic team with veteran guards and a hall of fame coach.

Drake's center fouls out with 2.5 min left, up 1 with Wash St going to the line. I thought he got ball, but he didn't really protest himself.

If Drake loses they will kick themselves for the poor FT shooting

 

[auror]

Drake, down 2 with 30 seconds left, just lost the ball out of bounds for like the 3rd time in the 2nd half. Could be nerves. Ghosts of their collapse from last year against Miami.

Self had them well prepared and size matters. But this pace is still a problem for KU. They have to play the bench.

Drake had to foul, Avery Johnson thinking from an NBA perspective, 5 second differential you gotta extend the game

 

[uconnbill]

Drake is beating themselves with stupid plays over the last two minutes

 

[gsmooth]

Damn Drake is going to lose. I really wanted to see them play against Iowa State

 

[auror]

Drake was up 8 with 8 minutes to go, lost.

Last year against eventual F4 participant Miami, they were up 8 with 6 minutes to go, lost.

Rough

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Drake and Nevada both with some pretty awful choke jobs tonight.

4 point game...

 

[HuskyHawk]

4 point game...

Yeah. Better team but they are gassed. Needed to play the bench more.

Samford's got alligator blood

I hate The Drake

Timberlake just rimmed out 2 wide open 3s and the lead is down to 1.

 

[aceboon]

Is a Kansas early exit special brewing here?

Spencer >>>> Timberlake

Timberlake is clutch.

By vast, vast amounts. Timberlake has actually played good D, passed well and rebounded. He just can’t shoot.

My Kansas buddy is rooting for Kansas to lose.

My Kansas buddy is rooting for Kansas to lose.

Why? It’s house money. Nobody expects anything. I’m up at 12:32 on a work night watching.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Timberlake made a 3!

 

[auror]

Timberlake is clutch.

Just hit a big one to push lead to 7 with 3 min left.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Missed a FT. Come on.

 

[uconn_jack]

Cam wouldn't miss those free throws.
