Re: non conference game thread
Wofford or Furman?
Furman has an rpi about 300 and usually I root for underdogs. But this time of year I also root for certain bubble teams to make the field.

Re: non conference game thread
This Baylor/WVU game would be so much more fun if either team could go more than 12 seconds without an unforced turnover.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
Re: non conference game thread
Rick Barnes is a terrible basketball coach.
Re: non conference game thread
Iowa St. came from behind and beat Texas at the buzzer. They never had the lead until then.
Really fun finish.

Re: non conference game thread
Texas had the ball with the chance to take the last shot in a tied game and they still allowed ISU an opportunity to get the rebound with about 6 seconds left. Inexcusable.
Re: non conference game thread
Second round: We play Texas or SDSU. Saw it on a bracket. Feels right.
Right where I want to be.
Re: non conference game thread
Probably is a given that sdsu will be the 7/10 in our bracket.
i was going to put the ua/asu records here...but i forgot what they were.
i'll just go with fuck asu.

I get so mad watching how much better the officiating is in these other conferences.
Re: non conference game thread
2 min. to go and Michigan hasn't attempted a single free throw.

Re: non conference game thread
With PAC-12 officiating, Kentucky would be in a big hole against Florida. Because they're allowed to play physical basketball, they have a lead.

Re: non conference game thread
Seriously, any offense in the block for Kentucky is a flagrant-1 for Arizona. They post up by throwing an elbow to the head of the defender, followed by a second elbow to the head of the defender. If a third elbow to the head is no longer needed, they lay-in an uncontested shot. If a third elbow to the head is indeed needed, they throw an elbow to the head of the defender. No whistles.

Re: non conference game thread
LSU is the dumbest, most poorly coached team in the NCAAs.
But in my book, you gotta get to White Castle before the weirdos show up!
Tonight he gets Happy-Go-Jackie on the big white guy like a donkey eating a waffle!
Sweet Sassy Molassey, get out the checkbook and pay Grandma for the rubdown!

Dayton barely escapes with a win.

Re: non conference game thread
So... I would say UVA is not a one seed anymore losing 2 of their last 3. The Cats need one of Duke/Nova/Wisky to lose to get their one seed. Of course the Cats do have to win or all this is moot.

Roy is aging in Dog Lightyears this season with this team, who looks like LSU did down the stretch.rgdeuce wrote:Roy and NC gonna choke this just like the duke game. Virginia is NOT the third best team in the country
Agree on Virginia. It is like magic though, Virginia needed some baskets down the stretch, they opened up the offense and got more assertive, and Voila! Buckets. Makes me want to grab Tony Bennett by the lapels and shake the deflate-the-ball nonsense out of him.

Re: non conference game thread
The refereeing in this Duke/ND game is Pac12 worthy. The fix is in.

Re: non conference game thread
purdue is done
It's long past time to bring this back to the court, let's do it with a small update:
Re: non conference game thread
the badgers committed their first turnover with 6 mins left in the second half. i don't care who you're playing, that's impressive.

Xavier owes their old coach an upset today. Make it happen.

Harvard/Yale as good as you'd expect so far.
Dayton having one of those Miller slow starts.

Looks like it's Wisky and Sparty in the Big 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14 championship.
Re: non conference game thread
Harvard narrowly beats Yale. What a game.

SDSU fans are over Angelo Chol.
If your "side" has the support of mainstream media, the entertainment industry, globalist corporations, big Pharma, tech companies and the elite, you are NOT part of the resistance

22-2 run for Notre Dame. What a collapse by North Carolina.
