Thursday 1st Round Open Thread

[BCPanther]

About 45 minutes from the first three tips of the day. It's one of my favorite days of the year. There is no better way to kill time until Rima and KB hit the air at 5:00.

We will kick things off with ODU/Notre Dame, Florida/BYU, and Robert Morris/Villanova.

Those of us in Eastern Iowa will get the ODU/Notre Dame game on TV.

How do you find out which game will be shown in your region

Re: Thursday 1st Round Open Thread

Use the program guide on your TV or go to your local station's website and look at the TV listings.

I am gonna to watch the ODU / ND game. Pulling for the Monarchs - I don't think ND belongs in the tourney, certainly not a 7 seed.


BTW - the online stream is being sponsored by Capital One and their &^%$ing vikings, the Ivan Brothers. I believe this Viking campaign is in my top 5 of worst ideas for a commercial ever.

Re: Thursday 1st Round Open Thread

I'm really interested in the ODU/ND game. We don't have much to go off of in measuring up to other tournament teams. If ODU wins or is competative like I would expect them to be, I will feel good about the Panthers tonight. If they get blown out, that might be a little cause for concern.

Even worse, they're a 6 seed.

With that said, go Monarchs

ODU's biggest problem will be that Eddie Hightower is in the building...

I'm convinced Ed is a Cylon. There are many copies.

I don't think ODU's performance against ND has any bearing on our game.

Re: Thursday 1st Round Open Thread

ODU looks tight - however, they are hittin the glass hard, working their way back into the game. ND looks pretty good on the offensive end, terrible on DEF. No box outs.

Re: Thursday 1st Round Open Thread

I'm watching the byu game and they are absolutly terrible around the rim...missing layups and getting shot after shot blocked... Look like a decent mid range shooting team though

Re: Thursday 1st Round Open Thread

Should have seen this coming. ODU can't shoot outside and Notre Dame is playing a zone. Notre Dame has the players inside to match up against ODU inside. Notre Dame maybe didn't deserve to be a 6, but they are talented enough to be a 6.

Re: Thursday 1st Round Open Thread

ND is playing a now playing a style similar to how we play, and it is working like a charm against this ODU team so far. I think the slow it down defensive styles really give teams like ODU and Siena a lot of trouble.

Re: Thursday 1st Round Open Thread

Robert Morris is really playing Villanova tough.

I like me an epic upset!

Re: Thursday 1st Round Open Thread

I am seeing Gary Parrish @ half - apparently not much sun, and eating well. Needs a better tailor.


ODU is like 1-10 for 3pt shooting. They need to pound it in, as the ND zone is not very active inside.
