NCAA Tourney Thread

Big East 0 and 3 today and 2 of the games not even close. Some of the players that lit us up don't look all that good when someone is actually playing defense against them.
 
I'm not picking against Michigan State.....maybe ever again. Lost a few close ones this round, but that was a thumping against Miami I didn't think would happen.
 
Now a BS flagrant 1 foul. Killer for Seton Hall.

Disagree with you and mjmaher, obvious push, obvious flagrant to me. Delgado, Carrington, and Rodriguez all came up real small down the stretch.

agree with the guys coming up small but that foul was no worse than I see at the end of a lot of games when a team needs to foul. They might as well call flagrant 1 on every game ending intentional foul. The only thing that was different was the accidental trip

Have to agree to disagree but Rodriguez just pushed him with two hands from behind. What should have been called due to time and score and the fact that it was at the end of an NCAA game is a different argument than what the play was, which is a flagrant foul. Think about this, substitute SJU for Arkansas, they call a common foul, we make one and the opponent throws in a 3 and we lose. How pissed would you and every other person on this board be? As much as I look at the game with old school eyes, what happened to playing the game with intelligence and focus, hustle and try to steal the ball aggresively instead of a dopey push like that and putting the game in the refs hands? I respect the hell out of your opinion but the only one in my eyes who screwed up on that play was Rodriguez.

A flagrant foul is a flagrant foul is a flagrant foul irregardless of time on the clock and situation. It was not tickytacky pit pat but a full out shove.

And most fouls at the end of games has guys slapping arms, reaching in or grabbing the arm while making an "attempt" at the ball, not a full out push or shove.

I know this is sacrilegious to some here but, I root for thi particular SHU team. I like Carrington, Rodrigues, Delgado and think Willard does a good job of binging in transfers etc. That said, I think the careless turnovers lost the game. They nonchalantly dribbled in the vicinity of ball hawking defender and paid for it.

Too bad.Hate to see any BE team lose.
 
One thing I have noticed is that many of the BE teams appear slight compared to the opposition. Marquette looked like boy against SC's men.

That game just reinforced what is already known, good defense (like good pitching) will stop good offense most of the time.

CM better stick to his guns about improving defense.
 
Do you want to see a team that knows how to defend, look at the Dayton game! They should of had a better seed!

Dayton's seeding was fine. The problem is that their opponent should have had a better seed.
 
Dayton lost and like all BE teams in the Tourney I was rooting for them.

Not a good day for me yesterday.

I like this Archie Miller a lot and think the Wichita State coach is good also. I hate to see Francesa correct about W-State. :-(

Francessa just regurgitates what he hears or reads about college hoops.
 
And down goes Notre Dame to West Virginia, 83-71.

After the game an announcer asked coach Huggins what he was going to do to celebrate.
His response "I'm gonna go recruit"

I saw that. I laughed out loud because it wasn't what I expected. But good for Coach Huggins!
 
The NCAA Tournament shows that teams need guys who are going to play 4 years, except Kentucky, which is NBA Prep, rather than a College Program. And, it seems as important as recruiting the 17-18 year old HS kids is, it is equally important to get transfer players and 5th year grad students. These are older, stronger and more experienced players than the Youngsters. It makes a difference in performance.

I think I was pretty clear I thought it was a flagrant and a good call.
 
Jenkins really struggling for Nova and playing for himself. Experienced players for BE coming up small, missing good shots is one thing, throwing up crap is another.
 
Nova done in by Wisconsin. Paultz, you called it right on Wisconsin. Poof goes one of my brackets!
 
Glad to see Nova get beat by Wisconsin. It is justice for Jay Wright after he ran up the score needlessly against st johns in the BET
 
Talking heads and pundits reporting the Big East is overrated in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
