Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 2nd Round

[uconnfan68]

Conference Teams with Round of 64 wins...

5 - Big XII
4 - ACC
4 - Big Ten
4 - Pac 12
3 - Big East
3 - SEC
2 - Atlantic 10
2 - Mountain West
1 - Horizon
1 - Ivy
1 - Sunbelt
1 - West Coast
1 - Western Athletic

Now do losses. I’ll start:
0 - Big East

It must be nice for UNC to get a 2nd round game in-state when it wasn’t even a given they were a #1 seed until Tennessee got themselves bounced early from the SEC tourney.

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.

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

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.

Isn't that what ESPN did when they had the first two rounds?

Iowa St has turned up the defense even tighter coming out of the half

When did ESPN have tourney rights? CBS used to do this and it's sister networks when they started showing all of the games, but for some reason decided to shift to this new schedule some years ago

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

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

 

[ec33]

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

 

[phillionaire]

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

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 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.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

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