Day 2 Tournament Thread
-
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.
-
Anybody see Baylor play?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I saw some of the end of the first half at lunch I think.
Was glad to see they won going away.
The narrative at halftime was they have flamed in past years.
-
As we are done with opening round here I think there really wasn’t a normal number of upsets. All seeds 1-5 won besides Minnesota, which played a underseeded Middle Tennessee and were well over seeded themselves ( thought MT should’ve been a 10 and Minnesota a 8/9). Usually a 3 and or a 4 seed goes out in the first round. Kinda interesting…
-
And South Carolina gets their 1st tournament win since I was a HS junior in 1973. Bill Walton’s junior year in college and the second of his championships at UCLA. Nixon was fighting Watergate investigations, but would last over 16 months.
The Royals were considering a young 3rd baseman to replace Paul Schaal, but sent him to the minors until August that year, when he was brought up. He only batted .125, though, so none of us knew we were awaiting the beginning of George Brett’s Hall of Fame career.
A long freakin’ time since SC won a game, which was back when they were still an independent after leaving the ACC – but they were coached by Frank even back then, McGuire, that is.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I watched the Baylor game. They didn’t play great in the first half. Definitely had me nervous as I have them going to the sweet 16
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Your fav coach demonstrated how classy a human he is after last nights win.
“Dayton deserved a better draw.” Greg Marshall.

@dylans I don’t see the problem there. Many people thought WSU was likely underseeded, so of course that punishes the team they play, too. Should have been a weekend matchup.

@dylans That just came up as two squares with diagonals? Looks like Division or Battalion markers on a military battlefield map.
-
@mayjay face palm
-
@dylans Like this?
You must use an ipad or iphone. My android doesn’t show those. Now I know what all those squares have meant. Glad to frustrate everyone!
-
@mayjay I need that statue for my front yard. I live in KSU wildcat country.
-
Very unfair to both teams. WSU was a true 5-6 seed and should have been playing a 11-12 seed and not a 7. Likewise, Dayton got royally screwed, instead of playing a true 10 seed the had to play a higher seed.
-
@JayHawkFanToo He’s so humble and gracious in victory as well as defeat. Classy guy!
