Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 2nd Round

[JungleLobo]

What a travesty. The nightmare has occurred.

Having to beat a 2 or 3 seed to reach the final 4.

Unheard of!

Seriously who is this goofball?

Seriously who is this goofball?

A seton hall/syracuse fan who has shifted into incognito mode lite trolling. Since I invented that stuff, I’m qualified to recognize it. But with all the noobz here he’s making hay, and I admire it in some small way.

It seemed like Oakland still touched the ball after it got passed the NC State’s players pinky.

Definitely the Oakland player followed thru on his pass well after the pinky yet the announcers didn’t bother to look at replay they were running and got stuck on their pinky observation. Then on the baseline out of bounds they literally didn’t know the rule that it was ok to throw the ball into the backcourt?! Tehhrribull.
Are those same clowns doing Creighton?

Gotta love 10pm Pittsburgh tips.

 

[EnochRoot]

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

So inconsistency is their M.O.

Got it.

What they didn't realize was that while an Oakland player tipped the ball into the backcourt, he didn't have possession, so it was OK. Which is a bit different than just tossing it into the backcourt.

Tennessee is looking pretty formidable against Texas but Texsas is hanging in there- a lot of size for Tennessee. I like the super quick guard Weaver for Texas- looks like Shabazz

Gotta love 10pm Pittsburgh tips.

And 1045 am tips in SLC. College hoops can’t get out of the way of themselves.

And I haven’t gotten off the couch all day. Partially because I have the suds, but also due to basketball. Only took 2 naps too.

 

[BigTenFan]

Tennessee looks terrible tonight

 

[uconn_jack]

Thought TX was overmatched (and they probably are), but they are scrappy.

I do love Weaver though. Kind of kid I'd love on our team.

 

[Tenspro2002]

This isn't likely to be relevant to us, but I haven't been impressed with either Tennessee or Texas.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

I’m just waiting for Brock Cunningham to do something crazy.

(I actually didn’t realize this game was in the second half until I was typing this. I’m on another planet.)

 

[August_West]

Alexander is a 3 shooter now? Cmon.

1-21 from three is pretty ridiculously bad.

I hope this is not one of Creighton's can't-throw-the-ball-in-the-ocean games.

He had a flagrant 1 in the first half. The a Tennessee guy to the ground.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

1-21 from three is pretty ridiculously bad.

And somehow still winning is even more wild

 

[August_West]

I hope this is not one of Creighton's can't-throw-the-ball-in-the-ocean games.

Alexander is deadly from 17 and in and he’s chucking from 22 and out.

 

[auror]

1-21 from three is pretty ridiculously bad.

I bet them live, because I was like eventually they're going to make threes. But still no.

You haven’t lost enough on nova this month?

 

[August_West]

Creighton should be up 20-6

I'm assuming that it's CBS that sets the ridiculous schedule without regard to anything other than ratings, but I don't know.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Creighton should be up 20-6

When Creighton is bad from deep, they are really bad from deep. Oregon is banged up enough that they can stay in the game, but Creighton looks awful early.

 

[CTBasketball]

They need to stop hucking 3’s. But at the same time Oregon’s defense is pretty bad.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Tennessee can't stop them in transition. They might be better off taking a shot clock violation than risk a live-ball turnover or missed shot.

Ern, I am your father {labored breathing} Big Phil McCracken

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

There are flashes where Tyrese Hunter looks like the best basketball player of all time.

 

[uconngb]

This is the same Creighton that couldn’t miss from 3 against us. Their crappy little guard has not even been close but was nailing 35 footers against us
