The NCAA Tournament Thread

[mjmaherjr]

I swore off the tourney didn’t do a bracket pool got drawn in last night and now all in on rooting for northwestern

 

[paultzman]

FAU got jumper happy in OT & NW got hot, up 8 w 2 minutes left

 

[SJU85]

Northwestern is on in OT.

 

[Shannon]

How many last second shots converted by NW? Amazing and lucky.

 

[NCJohnnie]

Nice win for Northwestern, I was rooting for them but thought they were done when FAU took the lead near the end of regulation. Good bounce back in OT.

Rough game for the reds here

 

[Jack Williams]

This Marquette team peaked way too early in the season

 

[Go Red Storm]

Karma !!! FAU is OUT!!!!!

 

[vegasman2000]

Kansas prevails helped by a bogus late foul call in their favor.

Totally bogus call...

 

[paultzman]

W Ky playing frenetic hoops v M’Q up 6 w 2 minutes left in first half

Yes, they haven't had it this rough since McCarthy and the house un-American activities committee. Seriously, I would be surprised if we see that crew again.

I am so jaded that I think the NCAA will flip back to “who is playing their best” if that is the criteria they need to get a certain school a bid.

That is exactly the problem. They pick the team first and then justify it. I would love to see some transparency on the criteria and updates during the season. But I also want a rollicking threesome with ScarJo and Amy Adams, and both are equally likely.

How fast does Charleston play? I think Alabama is pretty good, Tenn and Auburn are great teams. Really hoping for UCONN Auburn in the S16, would be a fun game.

Bama might be the worst defensive team in the tournament, certainly the worst among P6 schools.

Refs in the NW / FAU game obviouly had a rough game. Including an inadvertent whistle. That can't happen at this level.

whole team struggling from the field and foul line. hope they find it soon.

With play stoppage, TOs, going to monitors these games are longer than an elephant’s gestation periods.

As much as we praised Dusty Maye last season, he deserves blame for a terrible job this season. Got to strike while the iron is hot. Now he is stuck at FAU. None of the big jobs will come calling.

Shaka another early tournament exit maybe? We will see.

FAU had more than 20 turnovers . Another nice job of the Committee over seeding and rating poor teams .
This Committee will go down as the worst group of numb nuts in Tournament history .

Think a bunch of schools would still take him. He shoulda called a time out on that last possession in regulation though, not sure what Davis was doing.
