Day 2 Tournament Thread
-
Any chance KState beats Cincy tonight?
-
I predict many exbruces for the loss, players to be thrown under the bus. That said, Cincy isn’t good on offense, so there is a chance.
-
Some of the post game analyst, including a NCAA official, are saying that he pushed him hard and the call was warranted. I disagree. If he pushed hard he would had fallen towards the sideline but the replay clearly shows he tried to hold him and he tripped and fell towards the basket. Sure it was a foul but no way it was flagrant as the game announcers pretty much said at the time.
-
@JayHawkFanToo It was a flagrant because there was no play on the ball which is a black and white rule.
-
@JayHawkFanToo I agree-- and I also think by the letter of the law that he didn’t make “a basketball play on the ball” they were probably right within the rules.
But it was still a terrible call. Players put two hands on each other all of the time and it’s not called flagrant. They should have let him shoot the free throws and moved on.
Terrible way to be eliminated from the tournament.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Yes. Kansas State WildEmaws will win.
-
Player commit touch fouls without making a play for the ball all the time at the end of games and it is rarely called a flagrant. No doubt it was a foul but I don’t believe it should have been called a flagrant, at least not at that point in the game.
-
Come on SMU, close this.
-
Holy shit. Speaking of Brannen Greene references, SMU player with his foot on the oob line after catching the ball…
-
Shaky ft shooter on the line down 1…
-
Wow this game…
-
Rhody looks pretty good. I believe I have them winning a couple (but we see how that went for me with SMU).
-
I liked the 11 seeds, but not Rhode Island wth creighton?
-
Yep I have URI beating Oregon, which is probably a little crazy.
-
@BShark Ya slightly crazy. I have URI winning today but losing to Oregon. Have Oregon in the elite 8 actually.
-
Didn’t watch anything but the last minute of SMU/SC, but why did SMU lose with 3 TO’s in their pocket? Coach figured he didn’t have anything good to say?
-
Probably been watching tape of Roy.
-
Speaking of Roy, UNC looks reaaaaaaal good.
-
@BShark they do but they are also playing Texas southern
-
Don’t see them having a close game until the EE.
-
@wissox jankovich mismanaged the last 30 seconds badly. Looks like nothing designed to get a look. Just hero ball
-
It’s probably no big deal that he didn’t call a TO. Here’s what they say at TO’s anyways:
Make sure you box out.
Make sure you switch on their screens.
Watch out for the back door cuts.
You’ve got to keep the ball moving.
Check out that dancer out there.
Where you want to eat after the game? Buffalo Wild Wings? They show lots of games and we can check our brackets there.
You guys on the bench, be ready, I may need you.
-
Half an hour until the Hoi Hawks tip off.
-
Not sure if anyone’s still paying attention, but how the heck does a 7 seed like South Carolina get to play a game in their own state? Pretty good treatment for an average team.
-
Because they let the boys use the girls bathroom.
-
@Hawk69 True
-
Retracting all previous negative comments about Michigan State. Typical Izzo…ugh…
-
@BShark they are playing as well as they have all year. Our guys will have their hands full.
-
14 losses says otherwise to playing well all year. I think KU will win by about 8-10 but there are definitely days where it ends up being a loss.
-
@Hawk69 I think we in SC just haven’t prohibited local school districts or town from deciding for themselves how they want to address the issue. Not yet, at least–some are trying, though.
Meanwhile, in news of much less importance to our legislators, SC schools are now ranked 50th out of 50. Lead editorial cartoon today shows SC taking down the (joking) State Seal that reads “Thank God for Mississippi”.
-
Looks like it will be a Izzo, Self showdown. Hopefully our guys get to watch the first few minutes of this one. MSU got down 10 or 12 to zip, came back and won. It seems to me like everytime we lose to MSU we blow leads, 2 times in the champions classic and one in the sweet 16 in 09.
-
@wissox they SC are taking care of business. How much due to venue do you think?
-
SMU was a top pick to advance and didn’t.
And upset to boot. Didn’t USC have play in game on top of that?!
-
@Bwag yes, providence
-
Fair to say that 1st round pretty tame this year?
-
Pulling for Kent St to hold UCLA under 100
-
@Bwag watching kentucky
-
@Crimsonorblue22 don’t see NKy closing the gap?
-
@Bwag no, closer than it should be.
-
Liking our margin of victory
-
Briscoe needs bigger shorts!
-
Where is n Kentucky? Don’t say north part!
-
-
@Bwag looks like he could split em
-
Monk played at my kids local HS
-
@Bwag oh yeah, Arkansas. Do they still love him or dislike him?
-
I tell you if UK plays like the second half here tonight, WSU may give them a run. They shouldn’t talent wise. I know it was a tight one a few years ago but WSU had 3 of their all time best on that club. I think WSU is average this year maybe slightly above. The biggest surprise to me was Okie state getting beat but man did Michigan flat out shot the lights out of the building, 11 second half threes.
-
@kjayhawks no d at all in that osu game!
-
@Bwag To be honest I saw Marquette once this year and SC never so i have no clue. I’m sure the venue helped, and may provide a little boost against Duke.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 so we are Jayhawks. My daughter that graduated in his class wasn’t a fan.
Many of the Arkansas folks initially panned him for spurning UA. They are kinda like Kstate fans. Their semi-success has left them with an illusion of being royalty.
But now they follow him on the sly or openly. as one of their own.
