Day 1 Tournament Day Thread
-
Definitely hasn’t opened up yet. I bet it does towards the end of half early 2nd though once teams get jitters out of the way. The 436 timeouts should help the coaches yell at them until they do
-
I’d complain about all the breaks, but I think it favours this KU team and the lack of depth.
-
big fan of this announcing crew though. madness we always get the best. much better than ESPN’s dog crew
-
UNCW UVA has tipped off. UNCW coach could be on to a bigger job after this year.
-
Agree. Pretty much garbage free!
-
I want UNCW to win, felt they got Duke ref’d last yr big time… Let’s see if they can take down a diff ACC squad
-
FYI Tom Crean out at Indiana…

Shocker…
Too bad he didn’t have any recruits. Then again, Ill and and UW firings already opened up a ton of players. I just hope Harris doesn’t reopen and then quickly decide. KU chasing Duval could be a killer.
-
long range bomb for UNCW!!!
-
KU’s new recruiting motto “poaching the coaching carousel”
-
I’d give anything to have Cacok- 79% shooter on 224 shots! Yeah 79%.
-
-
UNCW on fiiiiiiiiah
-
Lol at a track meet favouring the mid major and not the P5 team but I think the announcer is right…
-
Virginia’s offense in a nutshell. Bring the ball up the court, dribble for 20 seconds, pass once, shoot. If option A isn’t available- crap
-
And people wonder why I wouldn’t want Bennett as the next KU coach. HARD PASS.
-
Overseeded UVA getting demolished. ACC! ACC! ACC!
-
my upset pick is looking good so far
-
5-5 3pt shooting from 2 guys certainly helps…

Who do they think they are playing against, KU?
-
don’t tell them. haha
-
No I didn’t see that article you linked to on CBS, but did see this crappy one about us. Grrrr. I almost created an account to log in just to say “Bite me…” It will be so nice finally shut up all the naysayers.
(but we will so have to eat crow for years to come if we flame out early again this year. Please, please, please Basketball Gods, don’t let us flame out early this year. Tell me what it will take to appease you - I could sacrifice one of my Misery neighbors flags to you in offering, I could buy Adidas instead of Nike’s next time I need tennies, you could even make us suck next year if you absolutely had to, just let us make the FF at least)
-
I had to check, I do have UNCW advancing here (then losing to UF).
-
Nice pick but you should have kept it going, this team can beat Florida. I picked them to the 16
-
They definitely can, but I chickened out. Florida basically had one really good stretch this year and it’s been over for a bit now.
-
They lost a lot of their identity without Egbunu in the post. KU couldn’t replace Landen Lucas if it had too, hard to expect the Gators to replace similar important talent
-
okay the UNCW guards are EN FUEGO
-
if Keats leaves UNCW as expected after this tourney and Cacok transfers, Bill Self better be at his front door…

With a mariachi band and a bouquet of roses (with a scholarship offer inside the bouquet).
-
Virginia coming to life with a 15-2 run…
-
this looks way too much like a KU game
-
-
No lead is safe with this KU squad EITHER WAY.
-
wow UNCW fell apart there. Hero ball don’t win games… need to regroup
-
I bet MU is wishing it had waited one more day so it could have taken a stab at Crean. On the other hand, how bad is the MU program that they had to so grossly overpay and give a long term contract to an average (at best) coach?
-
Going to end up with a better recruiting class with Martin than Crean would have done imo. I mean, we will never know. Neither is a great coach really.
-
Crean >>> Martin…not even close.
-
Their winning percentage is identical.
-
Super Cool shoes. Is that a Nike Swoosh?
-
UNCW reclaims the lead!
-
Wait tied, I thought that was a three for a sec
-
Now they did!
-
Princeton hanging tough with Notre Dame…
-
yes Bryce finally came alive. in that 1st half I don’t think either of their leading scorers scored and they were up 15 at one point.
-
Not sure they can turn the corner, but at least the Donkey is sweating.
-
His first 3 seasons at Indiana lowered his percentage quite a bit from what he had at Marquette and where he built his reputation. I would take him any time over Martin.
-
At the end of the day, neither has done much of anything. Crean had a fortunate run with DWade. Give Cuonzo a DWade and he probably makes a run.
-
Crean’s non-DWade ceiling appears to be the S16.
-
Martin has had plenty of talent and has not much to show for it. Even with lottery pick Rabb and good support players they just got booted out of the NIT in the first game.
-
We will see what Rabb really ends up being. DWade is a hofer.
