Thursday's NCAA tourney games discussion thread

[bac2therac]

This afternoons matchups look like they will make for good viewing

 

[MadRU]

I should get home in time from work to see the SHU NC State game.

I should get home in time from work to see the SHU NC State game.

NC state plays a deeper roster, has more 3 pt shooters, and passes the ball pretty well. Two main facilatators. SHU has the best rebounder on the court in a team that has proven to play selfish basketball in crunch time.

I predict a loss for Seton Hall.

 

[G- RUnit]

I think the bigger question is, is Seton Hall healthy?

Rhode and Oklahoma limping into tourney?

 

[bac2therac]

the smug analysts on CBS/ESPN trashing of Oklahoma is disrespectful leading into this game. I am rooting for OU to put eggs on their faces

 

[huskersalways]

This will probably be the only time I will be openly cheering for MSU, Kansas, and Duke to advance to the Sweet 16. I have 6 floor seats, for all games, all together in Omaha for the Regional Final. I look forward to robbing them blind.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Trae Young can shoot, but not much interest in playing D. URI big man is very wide.

 

[higgins3]

I think the bigger question is, is Seton Hall healthy?

Rhode and Oklahoma limping into tourney?

Desi Rod is healthy enough. Is he a good enough team mate or passer? Yet to be seen if this whole team can play together long enough to win a game. I watch them and think they individually have talent, but rarely play as a team.

I predict a loss.

 

[bac2therac]

10-0 run for URI....all the mo now 55-50...will Okie fold

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

not a Trae Young fan...at all. I picked OK in my pool and i hate Danny Hurley and I almost want to see URI win.

Young taking over the game in last 5 minutes for Oklahoma.

 

[bac2therac]

wow Young taking over and suddenly Okie took lead but URI responds to take 2 point lead..great finish

 

[bac2therac]

meanwhile Penn is up 12-7 over Kansas..please make it happen

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

He used to stink, but now he is good.

 

[bac2therac]

great start to the tourney as both 11 seed games went to wire and now the opening game of the real start to tourney.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

robinson has taken 30 charges...what is eugene at? 30+

 

[TDIrish27]

Hate the TO by Rhode Island----no need for it.

 

[bac2therac]

Young going to line to tie it...URI will have last shot

 

[bac2therac]

ooooooooooooooooh my did that putback just roll off

send it into overtime. I think OU has all the mo here...URI looks gassed

 

[ClassOf02]

Damn if this is any indicator of what the tournament will be like this year, sign me up.

 

[MadRU]

Great start to the show.

 

[RUJMM78]

Young going to line to tie it...URI will have last shot

Rhode Island misses a put back layup to win the game.OT probably favors Oklahoma with Young unstoppable.

 

[bac2therac]

Harlan is such a great announcer, tuned into Kansas/Penn and Nessler is too understated

Harlan is the best in the business as far as I'm concerned.

 

[bac2therac]

haha I am rooting for Oklahoma but finding out I picked URI in the two money brackets that I am in...lol

 

[hinson32]

meanwhile Penn is up 12-7 over Kansas..please make it happen

We don't want Kansas to lose. That greatly increases the chance of Seton Hall to make the Sweet 16.

 

[ClassOf02]

I haven't flipped it on yet but what the hell is Penn doing on defense to keep KU to 15 points with 5 mins left in half?

 

[bac2therac]

We don't want Kansas to lose. That greatly increases the chance of Seton Hall to make the Sweet 16.

haha not in that bracket with Duke and MSU looming

 

[hoquat63]

URI wins in ot

 

[bac2therac]

crazy 3 to get nail it for URI...but why wasnt Young taking that 3 for OU at the end. OU not well coached by Kruger, still they proved they belong somewhat, it wasnt the beatdown that some pundits were predicting.

Tennessee about to finish mopping the floor with Wright State

Kansas is now heating up vs Penn

 

[RUJMM78]

Rhode Island wins the game at the foul line.83-78.

 

[bac2therac]

such a bullshit call on Penn there that sent the KU player to line for 3 to push the lead up to 7....33-26 at half


KU on a ridiculous run of like 22-5 to end the half in the last 10 minutes or so

 

[hinson32]

haha not in that bracket with Duke and MSU looming

Sure it does. SHU beats NCState and Penn means they make the Sweet 16.

 

[bac2therac]

Gonzaga and Greensboro all knotted up..how did this happen. I have the Zags in the elite 8 in one bracket

 

[bac2therac]

Turtlerat

hey little fella

I swear the NCAA tourney commercials trump what the Super Bowl has

 

[bac2therac]

and Penn now cuts that 13 point lead to just 4

Zags in serious trouble

 

[bac2therac]

and Zags...ONIONS....5 point run to take lead 67-64

holy moly besides the Tennessee blow out every game is close

even Iona is hanging with Duke

 

[bac2therac]

and the Zags survive and advance

 

[bac2therac]

Penn looked like they were going to hang around but look worn down and Kansas reasserting themselves

after a close 15 minutes, Duke rolling it up vs Iona

have not seen any of Loyola/Miami yet but will check that out...Loyola has been holding a small lead throughout first half

 

[Vegas pj]

Harlan is the best in the business as far as I'm concerned.

He started on radio talk show in KC and then moved to booth for the Chiefs. Then relocated to Minny. CBS came calling and the rest is history. Met him at some Chiefs functions. Great guy in person.
