I was convinced Hardaway was gonna start Bates for no good reason and ruin their tournament chances

It's a weird situation. There's always an easier way and a Hardaway.

Memphis over the Zags?

I'm so sure this won't happen it makes me think it might happen.

You just never know what could happen with a roster full of future NBA players. Memphis is dangerous.

Yeah, but Memphis is a standard bearer for wasting NBA talent. Penny's scored two #1 classes and a third with 2/3 of the class being 5 and 4 star guys and he ekes into the tourney once in those years.

In 2019, he added 5 top 50 players including two top 5 recruits to a roster with 3 returning starters and was barely over .500 in the AAC and probably would have missed the tourney.

Well I picked Colorado State and South Dakota State

Longwood to the Sweet16.

Totally, Spiff. And when Gonzaga beats them by 30 on Saturday, we'll all just nod and sigh.

But every now and then -- not often -- one of these rosters loaded with OADs pulls an upset or two. If Memphis is heating up right now, I would not wanna be in their path. Gimme the TCU/Seton Hall winner all day.

Longwood to the Sweet16.

Is Longwood a school or a porn name?

[azcat49]

Freaking Fulkerson, like 26 years old and still playing college ball. Good for him and he was tough against us

[Macho Grande]

Memphis over the Zags?

Any team with that kind of talent and Larry Brown on the coaching staff has a good chance.

We'll ask Tennessee after the game.

If they play pitbull defense, anything's possible. The worst thing to run into in the tourney is an athletic, physical team that's peaking at the right time.

Grab your popcorn, it's going to be a good one.

[Longhorned]

It's hard to understand just what prevents Longwood from being a not completely horrible defensive team. They look like Division 1 players. I just have no idea what they're going for on defense. It's like, let's all run to the corner on the weak side and see if that stops 'em.

[azcat49]

Maybe it’s Richmond but Iowa looks very ordinary

If they stroke it from outside, get good penetration and then convert a few backdoor opportunities, it won't matter.

[ZagCatFan]

Here comes Broncos!

I hate providence

Amazing, Spiff. I'm definitely here for the bad March Madness jokes.

Maybe someday Morehead St. will make the tourney for you.

Shit games so far

Hoping Marquette and UNC is a barn burner

Kansas has a '22 guy named Gradey Dick. The puns next year are going to be ridiculous.

Down 25 at the half, they'd better be able to come from behind.

[Macho Grande]

Of course Iowa will be the first big upset of the tourney since I have them making it to the FF

Long game, but I can't say I think Iowa is destined for much. They're 100% a consistent, good team without an extra gear.

I do think they pull through this one, though.

Spiff is en fuego!

[Longhorned]

I'm trying to get ready for the awful defense from Georgia State.

Hopefully it will prepare me for the truly atrocious defense of Wright State tomorrow.

[Alieberman]

Go Spiders!!!!

[Fishclamps]

Fully expect Gonzaga to win, but what are you doing Bulldogs

[Longhorned]

So far Georgia State is too jittery to make uncontested layups. Only two defensive mistakes to this point. Could keep it under a 40 point loss.

[Longhorned]

I can't believe how much Mark Few has taken on the voice and mannerisms of a 96 year old man.

[azcat49]

Zags look like they are sleep walking through this. Look very uninterested

[Alieberman]

I would be watching the Iowa / Richmond game right now

No way. Gonzaga-Georgia State FTW!

Don't see it happening. Iowa looks like we did in Boulder. Tired and uninspired. Can't buy a 3, everything clanging off the front of the rim.

[CalStateTempe]

Come on spiders! (Even if I had iowa winning)

Also, as an aside, this is the first and last time I listen to the cbs eye on college basketball podcast to research my brackets.

Those guys are fools.

[Longhorned]

Georgia State is Clank City and they're ahead of Gonzaga with 7:04 in the first.

[97cats]

hate to see that - can hear him screaming

[Fishclamps]

That sucks for Georgia St

[97cats]

oh hes walking off - NICE

[azcat49]

North Carolina and Memphis are going to stress their one seeds

[Longhorned]

I had to change the channel when I heard him screaming.

[CopaCat]

Gonzaga looks like they have money on the under.

[wyo-cat]

There’s a 12-5 upset brewing.

Happens every year it seems.

[HiCat]

Iowa going down.

[Alieberman]

Huge bucket by the Spiders!!!!

[RondaeShimmy]

Thank god we avoided UNC and Memphis state

[Longhorned]

WTF? Iowa hanging their heads like they've already lost???

[Fishclamps]

Seriously Gonzaga, wtf
