Day 1 Tournament Day Thread
-
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.
-
@BeddieKU23 That’s what I mean, though. Notre Dame’s ability to handle the press will be largely determined by how the officials decide to blow the whistle. If the game is called tight it will take a lot of pressure off of ND’s guards and mitigate a major strength of West Virginia’s. It will also allow the best free throw shooting team in the country to get to the line frequently. If the officials let them play a little bit, I like West Virginia to win the game.
As I write this, though, WVU only leads by 3. Need to win this game first.
-
Bucknell FIGHTIN, CLAWIN
-
Bucknell’s center is good, he’d probably start for us.
-
@JayHawkFanToo yup! the company orders base nikes and them paints on them and adds different facbric to them. They’re the Nike Roshe Runs
-
I’m sorry, but Vanderbilt, you had Florida’s number, granted, but who else did you beat on the way to a 19-15 record and a NCAA tournament bid? And a 9 seed at that. You lost by 20 at Missouri. You lost by 23 to Middle Tennessee. I have no animosity towards the alma mater of my very bright nephew who just graduated, but goodness, you have no business being in any postseason tournament other than the Not In Tournament tournament.
-
Actually kind of wishing that Vandy would have been seeded where they belong, at about a 14 and they put them opposite Baylor and you’d have a Drew vs. Drew matchup.
-
As much as I hear Indiana fans complain about Crean, I don’t know. I don’t think Martin is great, but Crean isn’t very good.
-
Haha minnesota. HaHa idiot tournament committee who made the ground squirrels a 5 seed.
