Day 1 Tournament Day Thread
-
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.
-
I don’t think even Self has had a hofer. Maybe Embiid has the potential if he stays healthy.
-
rabb strikes me as a Ed Davis type…
-
really that was a shooting foul??
since when is battling for an offensive rebound without getting it a shooting foul?
-
LOL GONZAGA
-
OMG HERE COMES PRINCETON MADNESS
-
UNCW looks toast
-
Last 3 plays in Notre Dame/Princeton game.
That’s about 15 minutes real time
-
WOW. ND tried to give Princeton the game.
-
I picked Princeton to win. I like the way they play basketball. So close!
-
-
shooting a lot of 3’s early
-
Close, ND was not pretty
-
I believe KU briefly recruited Gonzaga’s mountain man center.
-
can’t beat virginia bricking ft’s
-
I have West Virginia advancing to the Sweet Sixteen so I thought I’d take a chance with Princeton. It was a fun game, I can’t be mad.
-
@BShark Let Gonzaga be the FIRST 1 seed to lose to a 16!
-
UNCW’s leading scorer is 2-10 from the field and 2-6 from the FT line yeah that sums it up
-
According to CBS UNC won the title back in 2008. Guess we better take down the banner.
-
nobody wants to score in this Zaga game…
-
Virginia lives by Perrantes making acrobatic shots…
-
Having nightmares of when we ran 2 bigs and had opposing teams pack the paint in the tourney. Essentially what SDSU is doing.
