Pretty entertaining start to the tourney.

Didn't we play Mt St Marys like in the last couple of years?

In closed scrimmages I believe.....I think CSM referred to them in his weekly presser and the respect he has for them.

Mount Saint Mary's was our season opener 2 years ago at home.

Thanks hater, I thought so. I think they were terrible last year and really brought down our RPI

USC had a nice start but the wheels are falling off early. Friars currently on a 15-0 run.

Pitiful showing by the pac so far

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Wed Mar 15, 2017 7:51 pm

Kind of scary to think the league may start 0-4 here soon

Trojans making a run

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Wed Mar 15, 2017 8:10 pm

U$C takes the lead

Nice little 20 point swing for the Trojans.

Damn fine comeback.

Nice win for the conference. USC already beat SMU earlier this year. Hopefully by the end of the week the conference is 9-0

Good for SC. The Pac isn't getting a lot of respect, so these things help carrying into next year.

What? I see people all over picking UofA to go far as well as UCLA and Oregon. We are getting much more respect than usual

Lets go ND!!

I'm talking more about next year. The big time Pac schools usually get respect, but we could use an image as a stronger top to bottom conference. This year people yawned when we beat SC, and it would be nice if those wins meant more next year.

Good point. Maybe we can get a mod to merge them and rename it.

oh shit. i just realized for no earthly reason whatsoever that i picked unc wilmington in both of my brackets. gooooo seahawks!!

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 10:21 am

Every year it's kinda funny to watch these 12-15 seeds and just see a couple of them every year come out just bombing threes (like going six for eight on their first eight attempts) and see how the better team responds (if they respond at all).

I did too, but I had plenty of reasons. #1 being that I did not like how Virginia has been playing lately.

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 10:23 am

jinxed myself. uva then goes on a 15-2 run haha

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 11:13 am

Gonzaga is going to win this game against SDS, but I think what you're seeing early on is why you generally want the Zags as your #1 seed.

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 11:16 am

C'mon Princeton. Fuck up my bracket!

This Zags game is fun to watch.

I have NW knocking them off in one of my brackets.

15 seconds left in this game and they choose this moment to test the Emergency Broadcast Alert system. Thanks Comcast!

I need some buzzer beaters in my life today. I got the next 4 days off to watch some March Madness, ready for some great games.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 2:30 pm

I'm watching these games and saying, "Foul! Oh, wait this isn't the PAC-12."

I hope Arizona's players don't have to go through that adjustment.

MTSU is up by double digits on Minnesota

Vegas had MTSU as a 1 1/2 point favorite. Not really an upset if you ask me.

If they hold, I nailed the first upset of the tourney. My dislike of the Pitinos finally may pay off.

EastCoastCat · Post by **EastCoastCat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 2:50 pm

Although games have been close still all chalk at this point (not counting MTS as everyone was picking them).

After every conference call today I ended it with a 'Bear Down" instead of goodbye. Everyone in India and the Netherlands were saying "huh"?

EastCoastCat · Post by **EastCoastCat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 3:21 pm

Down goes Minny.

Vandy vs. NW getting interesting.

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 3:37 pm

That Vandy dude is a straight up Jamelle Horne level bonehead.

And what was up with that last shot? Vandy deserves to lose.

thezboe · Post by **thezboe** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 3:37 pm

That guy is going to feel terrible for a long time after doing that.

CatMG · Post by **CatMG** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 3:38 pm

Unbelievable mistake for that Vandy player. Now where have we seen that happen before? Hmmmmm

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 3:48 pm

at work and cant watch, what happened?

NYCat · Post by **NYCat** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 3:54 pm

The 3pt chucking by Princeton and Vandy has been the worst, both could've won if they went to the basket. Instead of taking 30 footers.

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 4:59 pm

Ten minutes into VCU/St Mary's, I'm not really seeing anything size wise, strength wise or quickness wise that would lead me to believe either of these teams could hang with Arizona over 40 minutes.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Thu Mar 16, 2017 4:59 pm

It would be rough to be a VCU fan today. You can see everything they do wrong in slow motion, and know how it plays out two seconds before guy on the court does.
