Friday's NCAA tournament first round games discussion thread

I am confident of Iowa State but I am head scratching about why so many peeps going with Oregon over Wisconsin. Pac 12 is a bad league, sure they went through the league winning games...conference sucks. Wisconsin had a great year....14-6 in the Big 10 and rarely loses games where they are the faves. Oregon has not faced a defense like Wisky and I dont think they can contain Happ.....Wiskys poor free throw shooting could be an issue tho

Oregon's only KenPom top 50 win this year was against Syracuse in November.
 
Cinderalla has arrived

Tied at half. Having watched the P-12 tourney, it seemed to me that Oregon was a team that was clearly better than their record. Even if other teams in the league weren't good, they were playing very well by the end. Crushing Washington was impressive.
 
Wisconsin is playing like crap. No passion, just standing around. Do they realize they're in the NCAA Tournament?
 
Not surprised by Oregon game. Wisconsin is not athletic. And Oregon has athletes.
 
I will eat crow. Wisconsin laid an egg..they are better than this....look at their results in league and what they did. Oregon good today and were able to hit shots while Wisconsin missed everything.
 
I picked Oregon but was not sure of my pick. Oregon has athletes.
 
I can't believe how Wisconsin got their a$$ kicked today. Oh well. The B1G is now 6-1 so far, which is terrific. I'm just surprised how Oregon, a team that sneaked in this year, because of injuries, and a weak PAC 12, managed to manhandle Wisconsin.

I did not see the Oregon-Wisc. game but just looked at the stats -- this team is just not built to beat a decent team without a good shooting game, and 6 for 30 from 3 and 20 for 60 is just not gonna get it done. For those of you that saw, did you see great perimeter defense or just an off day?
 
The woman's program . Would love to get the Princeton coach.

its clear they need a change. did you hear another player left the program before the game.....unreal. I think compiling a team of transfers and grad transfers is the wrong way to go. I appreciate CVS on her past and where she put the program but the program has not been relevant for 12 years now. I have no idea what is going on with her health but it might be time for all parties to part ways and will benefit all parties

Oregon is hot at the right time and they have a coach that has shown to be very successful in the tournament. 2 of the hottest teams match up Sunday with Oregon and UCI.

they missed a few open shots...I mean the game was 6-7 points with 7-8 minutes left. Its just imploded the last part of the game. They had no fight and they couldnt defend Oregon once they missed shots. Oregon played good D and seemed to disrupt Wiskys rythmn which neutralized Happ...shooting 30 treys is a sign of that

I saw a listless, uninspired Wisconsin team play as if they didnt want to be there

I just saw the Miss. State dance team. I need to say 6 Our Fathers and 4 Hail Mary's now.
 
so after a first great 7 games yesterday, the rest of what we have seen has been a dud including a lot of blowouts today...egads

Utah State laid a turd, Washington got a lot of flak for not beating a NCAA team besides Oregon and they advance quite easily. Of course UNC will whoop ass them tomorrow

Duke ran away in the 2nd half

we at least have a decent one shaping up with Liberty/Miss St

I thought UCI-Kansas St and Iowa- Cincy were good games
 
I'm sick and tired of the reffing in these games. They give teams free time outs to put .1 seconds on a clock and anticipate intentional fouls end game to stop the clock.

Just ref the freaking game as per the rules and cut out this overly technical crap and playing into end game strategy.
 
first time ever that 3 12s won..and NMSt all but won yesterday

I thought Mississippi State at a 5 was overseeded...more of a 7...while Wofford should have been a 5.
