Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 1st Round

Goldin single handedly keeping FAU in this game

 

[Scoe]

30 minutes of warmup time needed and we’re past 2:15, so much for the 2:45 start time. Of course they couldnt just start this game at 12.

 

[FLDawg16]

Wow lucky squeeze on that back iron!

 

[king conn]

Just root for 5 overtimes

This Northwestern offense of dribble until ten seconds are left on the shot clock and then have Buie try to break his man down off the dribble is going great….

Seems like he flopped once the call didn't go his way. But yeah, the guy who hit him wasn't built like Shaq, and it's not like his legs were taken out from under him.

Points for possessing the awareness to get the ref's attention.

Gaff has 0 pts. I loved Gaff when he was here. Never gave up on him. I rooted and rooted for him..... but cmon Gaff. After 5 years? You cant get a bucket in an elimination game.

Yeah they definitely played a bad half, it doesn’t mean they’re terrible in general. Like I said UConn and Marquette were on pace for a 28-24 final score 10 minutes into the championship game.

They're definitely not terrible. Northwestern sans two starters might be, though.

 

[Hurleyman216]

I’d personally rather see NW pull this out. Not many teams have a mobile 7’ 1” center like FAU that could create foul trouble for DC. Outside of Bouie NW looks unathletic

Not with our game coming up other wise yes a reason the top seed should play first.

The early 2nd half mid-range jumpers were killing FAU. What happened?

 

[superjohn]

Northwestern tackling their own ballhandler wasn't a great strategy.

 

[87Xfer]

tough break there for Baba Booey

 

[Tenspro2002]

Why did the shot clock start at 20 seconds for this FAU possession?

 

[SL Husky]

Nothwestern not helping my hopes of 2OT's for this game.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Why did the shot clock start at 20 seconds for this FAU possession?

20 seconds when the throw in is in the front court.

He just didn't develop enough to play here. No hard feelings--he's had a nice run at FAU.

 

[87Xfer]

is this going to the posession arrow?

 

[Hurleyman216]

Wow, this officiating crew is having a bad few minutes here

 

[Tommyboy]

Wow refs with an inadvertent whistle. Brutal for NW.

 

[August_West]

They went to kill the clock offense.

Never ever ever works

 

[Scoe]

Don’t care who wins just end it in regulation.

 

[Hi-Low]

How many games are Refs going to ruin in this Tourney...pathetic

 

[Vowelguy]

Northwestern hosed twice by early whistles
