NCAA Tournament Thread

That's two years in a row I've underrated Memphis. I had them going out in the Sweet 16 to Kansas last year and they went to the Elite 8. This year I had them going out to Nevada in the second round and they're in the Elite 8 again and are still alive.

now THIS is a ref screw job

one second isn't going to make a bit of difference.

 

It makes a huge difference right there-if he had one more second he could have sidestepped that defender and then dribbled up to the 3 point line-with the time he had, all he time to do was sidestep the defender, so he just decided to launch the shot while straight on rather than moving to his right.

Whatever

 

Great argument. One second makes a huge difference in that situation.

Yes. Maybe one more dribble and 3 more feet. Increases the shot percentage by a lot I'm sure.

 

Are you drunk right now? The difference between 3.1 and 2.0 in that situation is huge. I realize you made a claim and now you want to stick to it, but give us a break.

They are very hard to gauge though, I mean with their schedule you never will really know how good they are.

If there was 3 seconds left he would've made it to the 3 point line. It's a very significant difference.

Well, go Tennessee and UCLA!!

 

Four minutes until gametime. I'm pretty freaking nervous right now. :shock:

 

It's a lot longer than that until gametime for you guys-the start time for the game now appears to be 10:17-30 minutes after the first game at that site ended.

You shouldn't be nervous, you guys are the underdog. No pressure on you.

 

Yeah, people tell me that but I don't believe them. We do have something to lose, we could be knocked out of the tournament.

One minute. GO VOLS!

True, but you gotta enjoy the moment. Plus you don't have to be nervous, try playing in a national tournament. That makes you nervous. :lol:

Luc with 2 fouls.

Sober as a judge. How about you?

The difference wasn't 3.1 and 2.0. It was whatever it was when the ball touched the floor and the Memphis player touched it and it went out of bounds. So 2.7 or whatever and 2.0. Maybe one diribble and three more feet.

One dribble for a D1 player covers about 5 feet at least. Think about how big they are.

Oh don't worry, I'm enjoying the moment quite a bit. Plus, if we can get by OSU we get a team we beat by 15+ earlier in the year (granted at home).

No reason why we can't make the Final Four. :D

We were talking 3.1 and 2.0 - even 2.7 and the TAMU player can think about getting closer to the 3-pt line and having a better look at the basket. These are 21-year old NCAA basketball athletes.

Tyus Edney, anyone? 4.8 seconds cross-court.

OK. One more dribble and five more feet. How much does it increase the % of the shot?

 

Anyway, game over, moving on. I'm rooting for UCLA.

Yup-and if you watch the replay carefully, the guy catches the ball 3-4 feet from halfcourt, and is a foot or 2 past half-court when he pulls up with 1.3 left and launches with 1.0 left-if he had another .7 seconds, he drives past that guy and gets 8-9 more feet and launches the shot right before the buzzer instead of with a second left.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Man, our big guys are drawing fouls at a bad pace. :?

quite a bit. Look at the college three as opposed to the NBA three. Oh and that is only 3 feet. I would say 10% at least.

it makes it a 3 point shot

Ugh, Ryan Wright getting meaningful playing time = Aaron Gray owning us.

Hey, you're the one that said 1 second.

[dew1679666265]

Let's go Pitt!

Sorry Raisin, but I've got them going to the Final Four so I've got to root for them.

Where's SouthSideRyan? I want to hear how great of a player SSR thinks Aaron Gray is. :D

[CaliforniaRaisin]

That wasn't Aboya. That was Ryan Wright who got the foul.

 

ETA: They finally got it right.
