Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

[CTBasketball]

Live, at game speed, with the defender coming from behind, I don't think any ref could see that he only touched the ball and not the arm.

PFs were 21 each. It wasn't called favorably for Kansas overall. My comparison to the way PC/St. Johns games are often called against us stands. Aggressive on ball defensive teams that live off of steals get away with a lot of stuff and Samford did.

Kentucky fans are taking it well and they're really pleased with Cal's coaching...

This guy is hilarious. Completely unhinged but knows ball

TimberFlake crashing to the floor after his hands slipped off rim probably "convinced" the ref must have a been a foul even if he didn't see it.

Would be nice if college bb had 1 foul "challenge" (under 3 mins let's say) for obvious game altering bad calls like this. The freakin refs go to the monitor on every play at end of game anyway so why not. Was such a bad obvious call that would've been overturned in 2 seconds after 1 replay.

That was my thinking too, the fall made it look like a foul even if he didn't intentionally flop. One of the best clean blocks ever.

Let's face it, the Big 12 is highly overrated, all that best conference talk and everything.

My sheet is on page 3 of the espn pool. I'm blaming all the yarders who started hyping up Kentucky at the end of the year. And I'm blaming the Big 12 too. All frauds!

Didn’t UConn fans want Hurley gone just a few years ago?

At halftime of last year's opening round game someone started a fire Hurley thread.

One thing about Kentucky, the program, history, will continue. Al Maguire's quote is the best. The issue is just a complete idiot of a coach, x and o's, game preparation. Calipari is the joke not Kentucky. Not a fan of Kentucky, but at a blue blood like UCONN, UNC, Kansas, no coach is bigger than the program, and that's the problem they are dealing with.

That should be tha refs last game this tournament.

 

[huskiesouth]

Here it is:



Egregious on so many levels. No body contact what so ever and a clean block with the hand no where near the body. Like what was the ref expecting???

Refs guess way too often, here a ref saw a usually easy shot that is almost always made missed and assumed that the shooter was hit.

Or… They get a promotion!

I feel like UK fans are reaping what they sowed. They wanted a roster of 5* freshman. This is what happens when you have a roster of 5* freshman. Cry me a river.

UK fans want to win championships. Cal wants 5 star freshmen and to tout all his NBA stars, the fans don't give a cr@p about that.

The worst part to me is the ref has the PERFECT angle. Can’t even blame it on that.

Official Fire Hurley Thread

I’m mad as hell and I can’t take anymore of this nonsense. Hurley has no clue how to coach. Get someone who can draw up plays and lead a winning program. Hurley basically is the worst coach I’ve ever seen in my entire life and I’m old.

Officials get the "big" bucks so that they aren't guessing and aren't fooled by a hard fall that was entirely because of the awkwardness of the offensive player.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Really ugly start for both FAU and Northwestern so far. Just bad offense and a lot of silly mistakes.

I’m enjoying that. Would like our opponent to play as bad as these two have.

 

[phillionaire]

this game is disgusting, neither team deserves to win

8-8 10 minutes in? We're on pace for the low 30s baby

Yeah I’m feeling fine with our round two matchup.

 

[alexd]

The B1G type game style is rubbing off on FAU.

One game at a time gentlemen.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

We are all rooting for Northwestern, right? They suck. Who wouldn't want to play Northwestern in the second round?

 

[Samoo]

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.

C. If you could get paid 50 cents to eat an ice cream sandwich or 80 cents to eat a crap sandwich, would you really want the extra 30 cents.

 

[Marat]

We are all rooting for Northwestern, right? They suck. Who wouldn't want to play Northwestern in the second round?

And our Husky is better than theirs.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

How on earth did this Northwestern team beat Purdue and Illinois? They look like a team that would struggle with Georgetown.

 

[Samoo]

I don’t see Hurley leaving what he’s got here. He’s the number 1 celebrity in the state, (UConn) fans love him. He reads social media, he sees how quick Kentucky fans would turn on him if he underachieves. Plus he loves the northeast.

With that said, I wonder how much money they’d have to offer where he couldn’t pass it up. 10 years $100 million? 5 years $75 million? At some point there is a number that’s too absurd to pass up…

If money isn't your primary objective, maybe not. Quality of life has its rewards.

Purdue

Because of Boo Buie and because the Big 10 is overrated.

They are missing ty berry.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

FAU has spent most of the first 15 minutes punching themselves in the face, and they are up 4 on Northwestern. Northwestern would have finished 10th in the Big East.

 

[Samoo]

With Hurley proving to be one of the best in the biz, I hope a certain P2 program located close to his home doesn't come calling with multiple bags of cash knowing even their program could start winning conference championships with this hire. Hope Dan Hurley will retire a Husky.

I hope Dan Hurley wins one more title after this, then goes to the NBA with his coaching staff and revolutionizes the NBA with some smart/young team.
