NCAA Tourny discussion thread

[panther-state]

Holy f****** bat **** batman!!!!

BYU wins 78-72. Iona goes ICE COLD from the 5 min mark in the 1st half, scoring only 18 points from there on.

That was a 49-24 game after 14 mins. Wow! Just wow...Iona went from scoring almost 3.5 pts/min to .69 pts/min. Just to put that in better perspective, that's the difference between being on pace for 140 pts to being on pace for 27 pts (under the situation that you play at that pace for the entire 40 mins).

Hope this is a sign of the type of tournament we are in for, although if it is my brackets are ******!!

Edit: Fixed it, also either that was a really bad math day for me or I used some different figures to get the original 4 pts/min and .72 pts/min

And I thought the WKU/MVSU game was crazy. Wow! The second game was unreal. I thought Iona looked like last year's VCU team in the first half. It looked like nobody could beat them. But in the second half, they looked awful, like they forgot they were playing a basketball game. Props to BYU. They never looked rattled.

Cal laying a giant turd in Dayton, down 32 to South Florida with 9 to go in the game.

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

The committee just had to give the Pac-12 a 2nd bid and thankfully Cal decided to crap all over it. So glad they at least made them a play-in.

Uh-oh! Cal on a 5-0 run!! Down...carry the 2...to the power of...23 pts with 5 mins to go

I like this South Florida team. They have the talent and athleticism to put up big points but prefer to control the pace and keep things in control. Cal lucked out, if this were a Mizzou-type, push the pace style of attack it could easily be a 35-40 pts deficit.

That right there is exactly the reason I love this tourney-time stuff...you just never know what's going to happen next. It's the one sporting event that lives up to the hype, year after year.

I didn't even realize they played 60 minute games in the tourney.

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

Didn't even catch that in his post - good one! So they must have played 4 OTs, then?

All I can say is spring break...not sure why I was thinking 60.

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

Wichita St loses 62-59. Very surprising, and disappointing.

Wonder if Marshall will melt down again in the presser after the game...

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

Wichita State, what a freaking disgrace! And we wonder why Valley teams get shafted on the seeding. We can never back up a good seed, pathetic.

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

Wichita State's loss definitely hurts the Valley's chances of getting multiple bids next year.

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

Wichita is like tits on a boar. Completely worthless in ALL circumstances. Tell us some more about your great national reputation you crap eating dung rabbits.

Re: NCAA Tourny discussion thread

I didn't think that UNI would be playing later this year than Wichita State.

Valley gets a nice seed and does nothing with it. Billy Packer is smiling.
