Day 1 Tournament Day Thread

-
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.
-
the best player in the game plays for SDSU. Not surprised they are playing well but winning this late in the 1st half. oh boy
-
Former KSU player Michael Orris sighted!
-
UNCW needs a stop bad
-
Goodbye UNCW.
-
UVA, ND, a few close games so far, but no upsets. Hope that non-upset thing holds for a while for a certain #1 seed that I’m quite fond of
-
some dude named Nana has 7 points for Bucknell already
-
West Virginia having no problem today.
-
Assuming WVU wins this game, I’m curious to see how the game is called when they play Notre Dame. If the game is called tight then WVU is probably going to lose because ND is the best free throw shooting team in the country. Since Notre Dame is Notre Dame, and is in the ACC, I can see them shooting about 40 free throws against WVU.
-
I look at the game a little differently if they meet. The press will be hard to prepare for in 1 day. Notre Dame only starts 1 true ball handler, the rest of their lineup is full of wings and an undersized 5. They don’t turn the ball over much (only 9) a game but nobody outside of the Big-12 is prepared for the pressure WVU puts on you for 40 minutes. This could be a game where ND is up early because they are the better offensive team but one that WV wears them down as it goes on
-
as usual almost everyone with a pulse for West Virginia has a foul. Went up 27-12, game of runs puts Bucknell within 6 at 33-27.
