Tournament thread - Day 2

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

WSU gags, Shamet was putrid in the 2nd half

I thought they would definitely win a game or 2.

 

[KodiacKemba]

A Perfect Bracket .......... lmao

What happened with Simonds? Did he go to school with another player we were recruiting? I distinctly remember us recruiting him but totally forgot he landed at GSU, and can't remember how hard we were after him.

 

[UCDaveD]

I would laugh but then I think of our contribution to the Cause....

We've contributed, what, 7 tournament wins to the conference since its inception? Have the rest of the members even equaled that combined?

 

[Tex-Lager93]

Can we just get a shooter please? Any shooter? They’re all over - Marshall, Lipscomb. But we can’t seem to recruit any.

 

[KodiacKemba]

Welp Wichita this was it for them , Greg won’t have this good of team again unless he heads west maybe Arizona.??

 

[kobe]

We winned and we covered. Was never in doubt. we gonna lose next round tho

 

[gtcam]

damn it. UCYamsMD is out, so I switched up my bracket in the competition I'm having with her. Had Marshall winning and switched it up, and now I've got to live with the results

I did the same thing - I had WSU losing and at the deadline I switched it back
I also kept Loyola winning but with WSU and AU - my outlook is crap in my bracket

I had Loyola too and kept that one. Thankfully had AU losing to UVA, so still sorta in tact, but doing really bad today. Don't have any money on it so it doesn't really matter lol

Why won't they be good again? WSU has been good since 2011. Nearly beat us out in Maui that year.

if you take the couple wins louisville had in 14, I actually think the conference combined doesn match it

Arkansas is up 29-27 after being down 2-21.

Obviously was talking about this year...

They lose everybody this year , don’t see any big impact recruits coming in next year with all his success ... but I’ll play the wait n see game ok ..

 

[August_West]

Butler/Arkansas is going to be a fun game. Butler is up 13, but that is not a big spread given the style Arkansas plays.

Butler up 21-2 and now a its 31-29

He was Lubin's high school teammate. I remember reading that when he got a UConn offer he was running around the gym celebrating. But then not sure what happened after that for him to end up at Georgia State.

To be fair, when have they ever had "big impact recruits"?

Koch money is going to keep WSU more relevant than pretty much every non-UConn/Cincy/Temple/Memphis team in the league.

 

[tcf15]

Wichita State will have the best player in the league next year (or at least the best name):

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Butler up 21-2 and now a its 31-29

There are going to be a lot of runs both ways.

Butler needs to attack the press. Dribbling up against the press rewards the pressing team, because the offense only has 20-25 seconds to run sets.

 

[intlzncster]

Why are there all these NCAA athletes playing the disrespect victim card in the commercials? Pretty sure most people would like to be a D1 athlete. Strange take.

I'm big on the all name guys. Always want UCONN to recruit for name. You win with these guys. Akok Akok come on down!

God Shamgod Jr in high school yet?

 

[uconnphil2016]

Let's go WVU!! Love Huggie bear.

 

[UConnNick]

They got AAC'd.

Yes, they got caught up in the meat grinder that is the AAC!

 

[intlzncster]

Damn Nevada ball movement. Nice

Nevada has a dude with Rob Gray haircut. Look out
