2018 Non-Arizona March Madness Game Thread

Figured we needed a thread for the Tournament games this year.

I am watching the ASU game right now through the March Madness Live Ap and I just noticed there is a button called "Boss Button" If you click on it it takes you to a fake powerpoint slide. Very Funny!

The NCAA needs to get rid of these first four games. These games are a terrible showcase for college basketball. There has been some absolutely terrible basketball played the last 2 days.

Oh wait.... NCAA probably rakes in a lot of money.

Just awful games.

Agree, no more first four. These bubble teams have only themselves to blame for poor scheduling, etc.

It is amazing the uproar we see for bubble teams... that promptly leads to shitty basketball.

Well at least AssU proved us right that they didn't belong. Pity USC didn't get a chance - they clearly deserved it more.

I don't have a problem with the first four concept. But it should be for teams that have demonstrated they are playing well at the end of the season, perhaps despite early season hiccups, and are therefore in a position to play like they belong in the tournament.

Teams that win early and then fold, consistently demonstrating that they are not quality, by the end of the season should be allowed to stink up the showcase event.

Found it!

Fuck you firewall! You are no match for a man who wants to watch BB on a Thursday in March.

Can't remember the last time I saw a 16 seed with a 7'2" center.

This was the easiest pick in my bracket.

I'm rooting for the Big 12 to get exposed.

The difference between a great shooter and a player that gets hot for 2 months of the season has been exposed. It will be very interesting to see what team takes a chance on him in the draft.

Clearly Gonzaga was a much better choice as a 4 seed than Arizona in the West.

Rather they win this game or not, I'm still pissed they got that spot and not Arizona. Such BS.

Refs helped out Gonzaga a lot in the final five minutes. Brutal

Good finish Miami v Loyola.

Wow, buzzer beater

What a finish!!!!

Loyola hits the winner!!!!

Good to see that first upset of the tournament out of the way and not in a game I care about

Every year, the NCAA tournament discovers its spirit animal.

Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, 98, is the Chosen One this March from Loyola.

I don't know. . . facing Miami would have been cool. We could even have held a Fiesta. Ah, well. . . good on Lola-Chi!

I hope the last minute Adidas bag drop for Lonnie Walker was worth the missed the FT in 1st round for Miami.

IT'S A DAVIDSON PARTY!!

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 4:17 pm

Early "analysis": if Davidson can tighten up it's defensive rebounding they could well win this game.

rgdeuce · Post by **rgdeuce** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 4:29 pm

Of course I had to pick my son up during the buzzer beater.

Davidson came ready to play. Impressive offensively but they are gonna have a hard time getting stops. Youre right about every defensive rebounding being huge.

I wish they would hit their threes.

They close out like we did on those TJ McConnell teams too. Quick as hell.
