Hayes!
Elbows?
Villanova should egg Mark Hollis' house.
Hayes is sort of like DJ Wilson where he looks amazing for stretches and then disappears others.
This is his senior year, right? I swear he's been there since we had Manny and DeShawn.
I remember Hayes being so good as a freshman on the Wisconsin superteam a few years ago. He seems to struggle more as a first or second option than in that role.
How did the refs not call a foul on that clean strip?
in the second round. And Michigan plays 2. A lot of great opportunities to make a statemente about the level of play of the conference.
On Wisconsin!
My God the Nova player looked like a running back.
My God the Nova player looked like a running back.
Fuck
needed to grab him
Great job Wisconsin!
it's like Black Saturday for my brackets every year
Stupid fucking Nova. How do you not call your last timeout there so you can pass it down there court with the clock stopped? Assholes.
Drunk posting isn't my forte...
My bracket sort of asplode. Can win without a Final Four team, but it hurts. Need somebody to beat Duke now.
although I had them losing in the final 8 round.
That probably killed 99% of any remaining brackets. Most people probably had them making it to face Duke at least and a ton probably had them in the FInal Four or winning it all
twice at the end of the season... Bring on fucking Louisville!
Cool move to double-team the rebounder. I don't know if I've seen that before.
And suddenly, the B1G is 6-2!
even if he dribbles out fast to make a pass, he's going to burn at least 2 seconds.
playing with yourself, which is what Nova will be doing lol
Honestly, Wisconsin could easily come out of that region now. They should win the next round, I don't think anyone has any faith in that Virginia or Florida team.
it'll be like watching old Wisconsin vs. new Wisconsin. It could hurt the eyes.
Great game Bucky
I had forgotten Nova had a reputation as choke artists before. The national title looks like an aberration again, not a step in the right direction for their program. Now the 4th time since 2010 they've failed to get out of the first weekend as a 1 or a 2 seed
Wright and Nova are back to their old ways exiting the tourney early it seems lol.
Time for Northwestern to keep the B1G train going
Duke is the scary match-up of the bunch but they could control tempo and out-shoot the other teams left.
If UVa wins, that may be history's slowest basketball game.
10 perfect brackets left on ESPN... Might as well be 9, one has Michigan State winning it all.
for Northwestern to knock off Gonzaga? Big 10 going 2-0 against the #1 seed?
I've got Northwestern in this one. They are undefeated all time in NCAA tourney play, I don't see that ending here.
Great win by Wisconsin and for the Big 10. Are the MODS off for the weekend? If this is the only 2nd round of the tournament thread we're going to use, then it should probably get bumped up.
