Week of 3/11/24 Games (Conference Tournaments)

[storrsroars]

Didn't watch any of 1st half, but this Pitt/UNC game has an interesting box score. Neither Hinson nor Leggett have scored at all. Both Pitt's big men are in foul trouble. And yet Pitt is up by 2 at half.

A lot of bubble teams are freaking right now with the scores of the 7 pm games. Ohio State, Texas A&M, and Pitt leading, and FAU only up 5.

Pac12 having a semi-final involving its best team competing for a #1 seed on the Pac12 network that nobody has is fitting for that conference

Let's go Quinnipiac. They are stinking it up the last few minutes

I think the only place you can watch the pac12 network is on smart fridges

I believe it's also on those little screens they have at some gas stations and above some urinals.

Come Hey Adrien. Work you Mid Major magic for Quinnipiac

The fact that Houston is bludgeoning these Big12 teams like this with their depth dwindling is impressive

Or it validates that the Big 12 has inflated efficiency ratings based on blowing out low-majors.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

UNC takes and makes a lot of really tough shots. That is fine against Pitt, but they have to take higher percentage shots to get to the second weekend.

I might have to agree with this with the way they walked into the conference and took over like it was sweet

Meantime, Pitt can't hit a layup this half.

Hinson, Pitt's leading scorer, is virtually invisible on both ends of the court. He's gotta do something in last 8 mins for Pitt to have a shot at this.

 

[aceboon]

Bubble teams can breathe a bit easier that Illinois came back and beat OSU

 

[phillionaire]

Kentucky down 14

Quinnipiac ties it with a 3! 11 seconds left

I think Big 12 is gonna get a bit of a wake up call in the tournament.

I think Pitt is playing pretty well for Pitt. UNC makes some crazy shots, although I suspect against a better defensive team some of those makes would turn into misses.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Kentucky down 14

Can you remember a Top 10 team that was this bad defensively? Kentucky doesn't even slow teams down.

Damn heartbreak. Saint Peters wins at buzzer over Quinnipiac

I think Pitt is playing their C game. Carrington is playing really well. Pitt's first half vs Wake was their A game. Good ball movement, exceptional defense. Tonight not so much, especially with Hinson doing squat.

I think Pitt should be in the field. They would likely make it to at least R32, which is more than I can say for a lot of 7-11 seeds.

Quinnipiac loses.

What is left for CT teams making the tourney? Yale? Is that it other than UConn?

Their game plan is to let the other team score so much that they get tired out

If Pitt was playing their C game, they would have been down 20 at halftime.
