NCAA Tournament Thursday Discussion Thread

Seems like everyone is going with WVU in the opener

2 crappy 1/16 matchups loom early

I think the UVa- Furman game will be interesting

Likely to see our first upset either there or with Charleston over San Diego State

Love this weekend! Even tho our team is missing

 

[bethlehemfan]

Yea i am coming around to this

 

[richthedentist]

Not a good start for Maryland; 5 turnovers in 5 minutes

I'm sure our SHU friends are shocked

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Didnt understand why we didnt take a real hard run at joe touissant when he entered the portal. Hes pikes wet dream.

Tremendous on ball defender, fast as lighting and likes to get out and run

 

[scarletknight077]

Nice start for the b10 lol

 

[Mr Magoo]

Glad we didn’t play WVU. Not sure how we would score.

 

[Mr Magoo]

Can’t believe these coaches have to go through these nonsense in-game interviews with the silly questions. Guess it’s now part of the job.

It's the MOST wonderful time of the year....

B10 is garbage at bball. Idk how many march’s people need to see this to realize it haha

 

[bac2therac]

I had them at this seed but in reality they are more like a 10 or 11 seed

A little too quick on the garbage

Maryland has struggled on the road all season.

Hopefully I’m wrong but I’m not expecting much from Big 10 this tournament.
I see “maybe” 2 squads in Sweet 16: Purdue and Indiana and none in Elite 8.
The conference needs to elevate its play via becoming more athletic / guard oriented and must recruit much better !

 

[RU205]

Maryland made a run. They need to drive to the basket more and make FTs. Too many turn overs so far.

 

[RU205]

Virginia by 10. Furman struggling to score.

No B1G team in perfect. They all have flaws but they are all capable of going on a run with the right match ups.

 

[bac2therac]

28 pt by MD in 11 minutes to lead at half 32-30 after scoring only 4 in the first 9 minutes

 

[bac2therac]

Palladins are hanging in vs Virginia

 

[RUtrumpet92]

The hot takes never end on this board. Games are 40 minutes with ebbs and flows.

 

[RUbacker]

I’m struggling to get into it with our team out. Not the same.

Yea, I was saying that when he went in. Seemed like a perfect fit. Others said he was a bum

 

[Scangg]

Don't sleep on Furman

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Don't sleep on Furman

Fun little gym to watch a game at. Been to a couple games there while down in greenville. Amazing school and great area

 

[Rokodesh]

WV is on a tear

 

[bac2therac]

Die Utah State die a painful death

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

I really love watching joe touissant. In a way reminds me a little of JY

 

[RUChoppin]

If Purdue gets the refs from this Maryland / West Virginia game, Edey will barely see the floor.

I just fouled out from my couch

 

[RUChoppin]

Maryland with the tip drill

 

[bigmatt718]

If the MW throws up another goose egg this year, then they deserve almost as much ridicule as the B1G gets every year.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Nice border rivalry game

 

[fatsam98]

They don't deserve ridicule but maybe we can take a look at the NET formula to see why they're so overrated.

 

[fatsam98]

Furman coming back

 

[bigmatt718]

The MW as a whole is on a 10 game losing streak in the Dance. I'd say that's worth ridicule.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Furman coming back

I’ve heard Furman has a lot of talent on campus

 

[bac2therac]

Paladins take the lead!

 

[GRU23]

This would be a good win for the Big Ten.
