You want to think about a funny comparison: think about how much better Hampton is hanging with Kentucky in comparison to UCLA (like a 20-0 start to the game; 41-7 at the half).

I hope we get a shot at UK. I think it would be an epic battle.

If Eastern Washington wants to win this they need to stop throwing bullshit towards the basket.

Reminds me of a hockey game. Just keep chucking the puck at the net and hope for a rebound.

Xavier did not take down Texas Southern. Might want to fact check those graphics a bit better.

I'd rather play someone else.

So fun to watch teams I'm not invested in.
NC State, good for them.
Sucks to be Craig Victor.

Besides the 3 Wildcat games today, it seems like every other game has been been decided in the last 30 seconds.
Crazy, crazy start to March Madness.

They bled about 20 seconds down 3. You have to get into your offense sooner.

If they weren't going to take the quick 2 (coach's decision) then they needed to take it down to 13-10 seconds before going into their offense. I thought it was a poor choice by their coach. He should have tried to stretch the game by fouling instead of trying to tie it last minute, but the kids executed the play perfectly. It's tough to get off a three when everyone knows you have to get a three.

Eh, I disagree. I think you have to maximize your ability to get a good shot and run offense the whole time. The shot may not fall, and you have to be realistic about that and give yourself as much leeway as possible.
The team didn't do it poorly, but that's bad judgment killing clock, imo.

Then we agree. Bad strategy, good execution.

Yeah, I think we're close and any difference is semantic. Your options constrict so much if you don't go. Whether that is strategy or execution or anything in between, it is wrong.
I'm not sure the players were perfect. The first shot, they got bogged down a bit. That said, they certainly did well given the circumstances they were in.

Forgot about ol' Josh. He's looking svelte as always. Man that kid has/had some amazing footwork in the post....doesn't do any good when you can't get down the floor and can't elevate though.
