Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 2nd Round

[gsmooth]

Have to give Duke credit - excellent game plan, and they are taking full advantage of their size and 3-point shooting ability. Meanwhile, James Madison has seen Plan A go out the window, and they obviously forgot to put together any sort of Plan B.

Another crap fest for the entire 2nd half looks like what we are in for. Horrifically bad on both ends of the court. JMU is just hoisting up shots and running iso offense which of course is not working against Duke. Even when they get to the free throw line they are only hitting one of two every time. And then on D they have breakdown after breakdown, leaving guys open time and time again, leading to open 3's, lay ups and dunks.

Frustrating to watch... particularly since CBS is forcing us to watch this game after the last one with no alternatives for either one. At least with the last game I could turn on the Pittsburgh Penguins - Colorado Avalanche 3rd period and overtime. WAY more entertaining then this dreck.

Give 'em the double barrel birds! Screw you and your crap scheduling CBS!!!

Exactly it ain't the officiating. Duke is getting open 3s from the beginning but going to Filipowski and passing out of the double team.

Sorry for those Yarders who are at Barclays and have to sit through this game first.

Anyone know where to find the record for each conference so far in the tournament?

 

[Tenspro2002]

Best news of the day is that High Knees and James Breeding are reffing the Baylor game and not ours!

There’s 2 Clemson starters that would not stand out in any ymca in America. Girard of course and this guy Schefflin who’s barely squeezing into his shorts.

What’s worse is that Duke fans will be feeling their oats and hang around for 2nd game now.

Oh well, our fans gotta show up tonight and bring it.

True. Their trust funds don't need them into work by 8:00 tomorrow.

Either Duke or UNC is winning it all.

The fix will be in for them, ratings down last year.

 

[87Xfer]

Anyone know what happened to the Baylor guy?

 

[Scoe]

Game needs to end in 25 minutes, 715 to be exact for a 745 start.

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Duke not missing from 3.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Duke up 30. Pretty glad they aren’t in our bracket. Clemson beating Baylor. ACC looking pretty solid overall.

 

[superjohn]

That was a pretty ugly fall.

 

[Scoe]

Damn that fall looked bad.

 

[bendm]

Baylor gonna lose this. You can just tell. Was hoping they or UNC would take Zona out before the final four.

 

[Tenspro2002]

That was a pretty ugly fall.

Shouldn't have been an intentional foul or whatever they called it.

I think basketball should implement a "defenseless receiver" type of foul for situations like this, but the defender was playing the ball.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Why is JMU calling timeout down 31 with 7 minutes left?

 

[auror]

God the ACC fans are going to be insufferable.

I have faith in Scott Drew to turn this thing around. I've seen 3-4 Clemson games, they're not all that good.

I agree it shouldn't have been flagrant.

You can't institute a defenseless receiver type of thing or everyone will be dunking on people. You gotta be able to contest shots.

 

[superjohn]

God the ACC fans are going to be insufferable.

Good, they're earning it. BIg East and ACC win national championships.

 

[Scoe]

There goes the 745 start time.

 

[Scoe]

Didn’t wanna get embarrassed by Hubbard so you sent him to the line that’s embarrassing.

Starting to grow concerned over the lack of significant upsets so far this round (from a it not being UConn perspective - from a fan perspective the next round is going to be great0_
