Saint Mary's is so much better than VCU. Somebody for sure got underseeded.

They're a solid team. They don't seem to make any mistakes.Longhorned wrote:Saint Mary's is so much better than VCU. Somebody for sure got underseeded.

Wait, I thought we were not impressed by these guys? I see they scored 46 in a half so their tempo can't be that slowLonghorned wrote:Saint Mary's is so much better than VCU. Somebody for sure got underseeded.

St Mary's looks pretty damn good to me
Re: 2017 NCAA tournament game thread
Did St. Mary's leave all their black guys back in Moraga?

I see them shooting fts well and running back cuts well
If they can put that together into a win against us that'd be pretty amazing and we really might as well go home after that round of 32 game because we weren't going to do much if we couldn't fairly easily put this team away
And just to bracket things a bit more, they lost at Gonzaga by 23, lost at home to Gonzaga by 10 and lost on the neutral floor in their tournament to Gonzaga by 18

All you have to do is get very athletic and physical with St. Mary's and you will cause them problems. Be aggressive.

No, the All Blacks are Kiwi's. The Aussie equivalent are the Wallabies. I use the word "equivalent" here only in theoretical terms.azgreg wrote:The St. Mary's All Blacks?ASUHATER! wrote:They are an all Australian teamazgreg wrote:Did St. Mary's leave all their black guys back in Moraga?
The Kiwi's currently own a 5 test winning streak. Out of the last 30 test matches, Australia has won 4 and there have been two draws.
The all time overall record is 109 to 42 in favor of the All Blacks (plus 7 draws).
Any sufficiently advanced troll is indistinguishable from a genuine kook.

Re: 2017 NCAA tournament game thread
I thought this USC/SMU was going to perhaps be the most interesting game of the day and it's really heating up here early in the second half

C'mon SC...I want the Pac to be 5-0 by the end of this evening.
Re: 2017 NCAA tournament game thread
Not all that impressed with Louisville in this game. I haven't seen them play this year but I don't see them going too far.

Re: 2017 NCAA tournament game thread
A few great games. Other than that, these first 2 days have been a little blah. No major upsets yet. Should the night apps be worried?

I've got SC in the Sweet 16 in my bracket. Very dangerous 11 seed
Re: 2017 NCAA tournament game thread
Creighton loses to Rhode Island but it was sort of nice to see Lenny Gordy on the bench with the Bluejays.

Apparently one of the Hurley boys knows how to coach.
Re: 2017 NCAA tournament game thread
Man this Wichita St Dayton game has been intense. Lead has gone back and fourth and the largest lead has been 3 points. Wichita St as a 10 seed is such a joke

What is it with referees and their obsessions with bending over the Millers?

Yeah it's been brutal. Down the stretch is bad, but there's also been two awful charges called against the earlier.rgdeuce wrote:What is it with referees and their obsessions with bending over the Millers?

"Arizona got uppercutted out of the 2018 tournament by No. 13 Buffalo, which delivered one of the most overwhelming, lopsided upsets by a double-digit seed in tournament history (89-68). "
Re: 2017 NCAA tournament game thread
That was as bad of a screw job as u will ever seen in the NCAA tournament. Leaned Wichita State all night, but that last four or five minutes was BS after BS. Close to ten terrible calls or no calls in WSUs favor

Re: 2017 NCAA tournament game thread
Of the top 20 teams (5 seeds and better) only 1 team lost in the first round. It kind of made for a boring 1st round but I'm guessing it will result in some great close round 2 games

5-0 for the Pac-12 going into the second round. The conference has looked good and appears to be underrated (as usual).

These are the equivalent of super bowl commercials, man I love Chuck and even if he comes off as a doofus he does lean Pac 12 a bit because he watches us play...azcat49 wrote:Anybody else enjoying the chucksters capital one commercials. Hilarious
I actually even enjoy some of the Sonic commercials...pretty clever stuff...I never remember what they are advertising but its really good product name reinforcement...
Now the ads that have the opposite affect on me are the singing ads with Gumble and that freak and the powerade sing/chant commercial...leave the singing to rock stars, if I want to listen to music I am NOT turning on my tv...
