NCCA Tournament Open Thread

[numbers]

This might be the worst officiated game of the tournament and that's saying a lot. I feel like I'm watching Heat/Knicks basketbrawl games from the late 90's with the way games are being officiated. Not enjoyable.

Zags look terrible

They have looked awful all tournament other than a 5 minute stretch in the 2nd half of 1st game. When St Marys almost beat them for the 2nd time, I knew they had zero chance to win it all.

The perennial most overrated & most over-seeded team in tourney history.

Gonzaga Gonzagaing, per usual.

Gonzaga wouldn't survive in the ACC, maybe even the SEC

Does he even play? Haven’t seen him once.

With rare exception these days (see the thread "Canes playing elsewhere" ) Chris has ridden the bench more and more although Arkansas has been mostly on fire. He generally comes in late for PG ball-control, get fouled, make the FTs, which as we just saw (again) he is good at... but thats about it this season, 0 for 8 from 3 being the norm early on.

That being said, I picked Arkansas to win it all in the CIS ESPN bracket contest, about the only team i got right, LOL, but sweet result for me just now.

Time to start treating them like a G5 football team. Cap their seeding at 2. Never give them a 1 again

Woo Pig Sooie!

10-2 at the first media timeout

Texas Tech is winning it all

 

[Gables Canes]

All of the games today have been low scoring and ugly.

Everybody that steps on the floor for Houston plays like their hair is on fire. Those guys get after it. They are bothering the heck out of every move Arizona makes on offense.

They better knock down some shots or going home today

More this tournament than I can ever recall. Some really ugly games this tournament

Agree, but it’s a lot of fun. We also had one of the best games of the tournament thus far.

Houston's nasty

You do realize they were “good enough” to reach the Title game last year and in 2017. And 5 elite 8s since 1999.

That’s pretty **** good

If they weren’t a 1 seed every year they wouldn’t make to to the second weekend. Last year was the exception, they had their best team ever and got smashed.
