Tues/Weds Tournament Games

Equal to Scott Burrell's pass to Tate in execution, but since it's a play-in game and didnt technically end the game, it's a notch below.

I just heard an announcer on the NC/SDSU broadcast liken the Alabama State pass to the pass from UConn's Grant Hill to Christian Laettner. This is so heinous that it has to guarantee the three-peat.
 
I love this result. Hubert keeps doing just enough that Carolina will keep him around. I hope he keeps sneaking in the tournament and wins a game or two each season so they keep him there forever.
 
I am loving this entirely predictable destruction of SDSU by UNC. The morons who complained should retire their bracket card. UNC was better than at least 3 if not 4 SEC teams that got in. Xavier was as well. Did Boise belong? Yes. But these fraud SEC teams that lost 12-15 games needed to be out.

HH, the argument wasn’t whether or not UNC was better than any teams. The argument was that UNC’s resume wasn’t good enough to earn a spot in the tournament. So beating up on SDSU really didn’t change the argument.

Why call other folks morons? Try being nice instead.
 
I don’t know why so many coaches go the 5 on 4 route in these situations when time and time again it’s been said it’s not the shot that is the most difficult part of these situations but the pass getting it in.

Stop letting the passer have an unobtrusive view of the whole court and force the guy catching it back towards their basket

Interestingly, Alabama State is 1 hour from Auburn. Will be a fun few days for the part of the country.

And in tonight's 16-seed game, Mount St. Mary's and American are just 60 miles apart. They've played each other 71 times!

Same - let’s get the best teams in. The drama around them getting in was such a stupid narrative that was pounded to death by the media.

Irony that SDSU looked like they had no business being in.

Friendly reminder to fade the Mountain West in your bracket every year.

Remember, it will be the Pac 8 next year, not the MWC.

Don't know if a name change, or the addition of Gonzaga (who has actually done things) will change this.

Does it matter? There hasn’t been a NC from west of the Mississippi since the 90s.

The MWC folks are complaining about the officiating in the SDSU game. Not that it was one sided, but that the let so much go. I couldn't help but laugh. Big East lets a lot more than that go. West coast basketball is often so soft, so non-contact. There are occasional exceptions.

The big kid for St Francis playing hero ball lost the game. Rebound off the FT and tries to bring it coast to coast just stupid basketball.

UNC can’t get beat bad enough for me!
Expand ...
Did St. Francis put a big on the inbounder? To throw that ball accurately full court right to a guy was amazing. If there wasn't a man on the inbounder, shame on the coach. As you say, it should never have gotten to that. St. Francis was out of control and sloppy. They should've gotten the last shot or at least gone to OT.

Well he did just get an extension, so that's a start
 
UNC has what everyone talks about being how you win in March - guards. They just have too many of those and not enough of the other stuff. We shall see how it plays out but they looked great last night, SDSU looked awful - their roster just did not look good at all.

You might want to brush up on geography.

Yeah, it should really be the origin point of the Missouri River. Or you could just say not in Eastern or Central Time zone since 1997.

Finally filled out a couple brackets. Did one with St Johns winning and of course had to do one with the good guys winning it all. Now to sit back and enjoy the games.

There are definitely a few current or ex KPMG auditors in this place. Everyone loves a good auditor. But yes, Kansas and Baylor are west of the Mississippi. Nice catch. You are clearly on Partner track.

Good lord, you suck at geography. Somehow your post got a like from the dude from Kansas.

I'm actually pretty good at it, just don't overextend myself on details sometimes when making a macro level point. I should, or else it elicits corny responses like this.

Coincidentally, I actually ran on the Mississippi River when in Omaha last summer and curiously tracked origin to mouth during cool down.

Ahh yes, the macro level point. Of course.

You're incredible at sports and at geography.
