Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 2nd Round

[uconngb]

So dumb we had 2 standalone games for first 4.5 hours today and now will have 4 going. Just stagger starts every hour from noon

Makes zero sense

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I hate even thinking this but I have yet to see any defense yet today that impresses me. More bad intel....

 

[aceboon]

Wazzu bites on every shot fake

Makes zero sense

Yeah I’m sure the TV execs have no idea what they’re doing.

MWC going 2-4 in the first round is a great look. Totally deserved twice as many bids as the BE

And underseeded, too.

I’d rather play Iowa st than Illinois. Really hoping Duquesne has some magic in them

Starting multiple games at noon limits west coast audience, who outside of diehards are gonna start watching at 915 am

Cmon. Brooklyn is same distance for UConn as Charlotte for UNC, and Boston is even closer. To the victor go the spoils we earned ours. UNC earned theirs for first 2 rounds. Their next 2 are in LA.

That doesn't quite add up, unless you're saying Houston didn't earn theirs (who are playing their first two games in Memphis).

In the Iowa State game, what do those grey grey bars under the team name (and over the “fouls”) indicate?

Timeouts remaining

Three threes in 4 trips.

This may come across as insensitive, but if I were playing NC St I'd bring a couple platters with cupcakes, donuts, cookies and keep them in sight in front of my bench. I'd also ask A-Dub for recommendations and have about ten bags of assorted Arby's meals placed around the dessert platters. I figure that would draw Burns away from the middle.

I'm guessing that there are a lot more Carolina fans at Charlotte for the games than there were UConn fans at the game yesterday. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

I am really hoping that UConn fans take over Brooklyn tomorrow night. I am envious of the support that UNC has received in Charlotte and Iowa State has received in Omaha

#1 seeds pick their location in reverse order. Houston chose Memphis. I don’t get the complaint here. They were obviously a #1 before the conference tournaments. It’s Iowa State people thought would be the last #1 not Tennessee. Iowa State picked Omaha, are we upset about that too?

That ain’t Carolina’s fault or anything that should be complained about. If anything it’s an indictment against UConn fans then.

It absolutely adds up if you know how this actually works.

Neither of the teams in this Iowa St. - Wash St. game are particularly impressive.

 

[brihman]

Iowa St has this game

 

[HuskyHawk]

That ain’t Carolina’s fault or anything that should be complained about. If anything it’s an indictment against UConn fans then.

The second game is different than the first as winning team fans buy tickets from losing team fans. Especially when they are close. We will have a good crowd tomorrow.

That's the way I meant it.

They used to just have the stand alone game around 12:15 on weekends and then staggered starts times from 2:00 on so multiple games in afternoon, it's been a few years though since they did it that way. Now the weekend games are backloaded to evening

 

[HuskyHawk]

Neither of the teams in this Iowa St. - Wash St. game are particularly impressive.

Washington State is a good offensive team and has 44 points. Iowa State is the #2 defensive team per Kenpom. Tends to make the game look ugly. Their offense is ok, but really comes from the defense.

 

[Huskiefan23]

If Wazzu was a halfway decent team Iowa State would be losing.

 

[Deleted at users request]

Iowa St defense is impressive. They didn’t give Wazzou anything in the 2nd half.

 

[aceboon]

Game was over with anyway considering Wazzu can't score but the 1-3-1 was not the move

That’s what I expect too

I hope you're right. Typically it goes from four teams down to two. In this case it's a doubleheader so there's still four teams fans.

Don’t disagree they’re a really good defensive team (though Washington State is only 68th in offense on Kenpom). I just don’t believe in their offense enough and I think they’d struggle with our size.
