2015 NCAA Tournament

[Guest]

Fitting that Purdue misses another 3 at the end to lose it. 4-26 for the game.

[Smack]

We sure pissed that away. Only upside is no Kentucky. I'll be cheering for them against cheap ass Cincy.

[mul21]

I've already missed 4 games, but managed to lose only 1 sweet 16 team so far.

 

Was it Andy Katz that said he thought Texas could go far this morning?

 

Edit: Yep.

Jeez, the announcers in this game are being pretty condescending to Hampton.

Jeez, the announcers in this game are being pretty condescending to Hampton.

It's like Verne Lundquist is openly rooting for an SEC team.

An Arkansas player lost his shoe in the stands and play wasn't stopping, so a player on the bench threw a shoe on the floor at him. They called a delay of game warning, not a T

[RynoRules]

Kentucky is so good. If you like basketball its really hard not to appreciate how well they play together.

[RynoRules]

E Wash is a good defensive and rebounding team, but they look scared on the offensive end. Its like they are waiting for a one of GTown's bigs to come and spike them.

 

Meanwhile GTown is committing some dumb fouls and are getting badly out-hustled.

[RynoRules]

Bobby Portis is a beast, but he has the worst free throw shooting form in the history of basketball.

 

Also, does Arkansas run a half court offense? They look they kind of just run around looking for open spots on the floor. Remind me of highly skilled playground team.

nice ending to LSU/NCST

Was looking up the most wins ever in one season for a men's team and came across this:

 

Of the 7 teams that have won at least 37 games in a season, only two have won the title - 2012 Kentucky and 2008 Kansas. The others were 2008 Memphis, 2005 Illinois, 1999 Duke, 1987 UNLV and 1986 Duke.

Hey Wofford, you're down three with 25 seconds left. Why not go to the basket or something? Just show a little urgency.

 

Going to end up 9-7 for the first day, one of the worst I can remember. Only lost 1 E8 team (Iowa St) and 1 other S16 team (Baylor) though.

Eleven games were decided by fewer than 10 points Thursday, tying the single-day NCAA tournament high. Only three tournament days in history matched that number, the last of which came in 2010.

 

Nine games were decided by five or fewer points, tying the single-day tournament high -- one dating to March 15, 2001.

 

Including the five Thursday, as well as Dayton's win over Boise State on Wednesday night, there have been six games decided by one point thus far in the 2015 NCAA tournament. The record for most games decided by one point in a single NCAA tournament is seven -- total. That has happened three times (in 1982, 1990, and 1998).

 

Oh, and then there's this:

 

The entire 2013 and 2014 NCAA tournaments -- from the first round to the Final Four -- featured five games decided by a single point. Combined!

I think I lost money on every single 1 point game

[Derwood]

I miss basically every game yesterday, and they were all awesome.

 

I have all day off today, and every game is boring as [expletive]

The IU game looked pretty good.

Mark Turgeon looks like a guy wearing a Mark Turgeon rubber mask.

[Careless]

The straight chalk bracket is in 97th percentile now.

[Careless]

Oregon/Oklahoma State might be the most hideous uniform confrontation of all time. In any sport.

[snoodmonger]

What a garbage final possession by Valpo.

[sneakypower]

Jahlil Okafor stiff-arming guys under the basket seems effective, makes you wonder why other players don't do that

[UMFan83]

Chalkity chalk today. Can't even get a 9 over 8 "upset"

[davell]

 

RJ and Ron Hunter on the DP Show. Worth a listen.

[UMFan83]

So are Iowa fans allowed to talk trash now that they won an NCAA game?

[bcl412]

I thought Iowa would win. I didn't understand why so many picked Davidson because the size advantage was so much but I didn't expect that. So much fun. I don't see us beating Gonzaga but I don't care. I've waited a long time and sat through too much crap to see a tourney win.
