NCAA Tournament Thread

Texas let Xavier dribble out the clock to around 20 seconds down 3.
I was pleased to see it. What was the coach thinking, Xavier would miss a shot, not be fouled at all, Tx would get the
rebond and run down and score a 3.???
That's possible but improbably...I would have pressed hard and fouled..try to extend the game

Then Freemantle missed the shot but no-one blocked out Swain....game over.


A lot of caches will play straight up in that scenario. Xavier is a very good FT shooting team.

Get the stop and look for a quick 2 going towards the basket with some contact or kick if 3 is open,
 
The heavens have prevailed and X won the game against the fraudulent SEC.

Great Win for the X men.

There is a message here for us tonight , the Refs ( Breeding, etc ) got X in foul trouble very quickly and taking Freemantle and Conwell out of their game .

Getting star Players in foul trouble on questionable calls is not a good look for the Officials but , this was proof positive of disregard by them .

Miller did a great job managing the foul trouble and this was a great Win for our BE Teams .

But , we need to beware of similar action in our games as well . Especially if we face Kansas , which gets kid gloves treatment .
The NCAA wants to justify their 14 SEC picks out of 16 teams .
Only SCarolina and LSU didn’t make the tourney .
But , I’m sure they will try next year . 16 out of 16 will be their goal .

The NCAA and SEC partnership is devilish on the making .
 
3 great looks by the guys creighton wants to have them missed from 3 so far
 
Louisville just got called for an illegal screen. Creighton better.. well never mind
 
Always root for the BE in the tourney, so trying very hard to root for Creighton, but my hatred of Ashworth is really gumming up the works over here.
