UNC needed a sacrificial lamb in the second round. So UW is playing on house money now.

If Washington plays defense like they're capable of they will give UNC fits however, I don't expect them to keep it close down the stretch.

Nova is getting boat raced by Purdue.

That big 7’4” guy for Florida St makes them a much different tourney team than the ones that generally shrank in the tourney as the heat went up.

Kansas down 19 early.

Thread started before the game. No jinx applied.

The Reffing has been absolutely terrible all tournament. The more college basketball I watch, I realize the rules and reffing limit the quality of basketball.

Holy moly, this center for UCF is a giant of a man. Duke might struggle if they can’t dictate tempo

KillerKlown · Post by **KillerKlown** » Sun Mar 24, 2019 3:23 pm

These commentators for this Duke - UCF game exaggerating everything makes this game very mute worthy for me.

No reason ucf shouldn't have won that.

Ugh UCF should have had that one.

Frybry02 · Post by **Frybry02** » Sun Mar 24, 2019 4:39 pm

I might be biased but that was a 2-handed push in the back.

Oh and hat missed 2-1 alley oop with under 2 .... ouch

Clear push off that robbed those kids. Really unfair

Just double checked and only one higher seed lost in the second round so far. Do you think enfuego knows who that is?

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Sun Mar 24, 2019 7:24 pm

It's looking like Oregon may be the only team that isn't a 5 seed or higher in the s16. They're the one Cinderella.

And then Oregon / Irvine winner.

I cannot ever remember the tourney ever producing so few upsets.

So few upsets and buzzer beaters.

Patience. They're coming. Maybe not the upsets, but there will definitely be some buzzer beaters.

By my count, I had over 30 devastatingly brilliant takes on the games last night, all of which are lost from our site going down. You all would have genuflected in the face of my astounding observations.

Instead, I'm forced to lay my body across your doorway and beg you to notice me on your way back in.

I'd have commented that the last 10 regulation minutes of Tenn/Purdue was some of the most fun tourney action I've seen in a bit. That was a hell of an ending to regulation.

I have a feeling Auburn is about to feel the cruel, cruel reality of the 2019 tourney.

Auburn is so balanced on offense and defense. Bruce Pearl is a very good coach.

Yup. This is the first year Auburn has been to back to back tournaments since 2000. Before last year they hadn't been to the tournament in 15 years and were the perennial doormat of the sec. Now they are a game away from the final 4.

Let me just take a peak at how the ol’ Chicat bracket is doing, and . . . . . MOTHER OF GOD!

Why do I watch games like Va Tech - Duke? I must be a glutton for punishment.

The Hokies are going to keep it close, but in the end Duke and the zebras will pull it out.

I can’t beleive how many layups VA Tech has given up.

Are the refs ever going to call Zion for the wrap around offensive foul? He has done it twice in the last minute

Duke lucky 2 games in a row.

He had time to grab the ball and shoot. Treated it like a hot potato.

3 shots to win or tie. Two airballs and a open, point blank missed layup.

I hate Duke so much.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Fri Mar 29, 2019 9:18 pm

At least UNC lost but man, in this year's tourney, you have to destroy a higher seed to beat them. Otherwise, it's all WTF moments to lose down the stretch.

Beachcat97 · Post by **Beachcat97** » Sat Mar 30, 2019 7:30 am

MSU is gonna beat Duke.

Duke deserves all the good luck in the world and we deserve all the bad luck in the world for reasons I can't fathom.
