NCAA Tournament - Evening Games Open Thread

Submitted by LSAClassOf2000 on

I thought I would create this - albeit a little late - to provide a place to talk about some of the games going on right now, swwing as I am one of the lucky few who seem to be able to create content at the moment. 

I've got Kansas-UConn up myself - Kevin Ollie would like to know what is going on, from the look of things.

UConn just ended a seven-minute drought with a nice triple, not that Kansas is showing any signs of letting up on what has been some smothering defense as well as a few "WTF" shots from UConn. 

I am getting this sense that the halftime discussion for the Huskies will be something like that scene from "Necessary Roughness" - "Let's analyze what's been working for us......NOT A GOD DAMN THING'S BEEN WORKING FOR US"

but then when it mysteriously wipes them out on the backside, you can't upvote (assuming there's anything left to keep count) and you can't post content.   muy strange.

chaos reigns.

That's a pretty bad combo, but I have a special hatred in my heart for people who are UM football fans and Staee basketball fans. Played rec basketball with a guy like that 4-5 years ago and I once I found out I couldn't get over it. It made me seriously dislike him even though other than being a fair weather fan he seemed to be a decent guy

It seems like that Ellis guy from Kansas has been in college for 6 years. Does he have a twin brother or something? He and Yogi Farrell must about 25 years old by now...

They might get run by Iowa State. That haven't seen as versatile of an offense as them. They can run if you give them chances and they can operate in a low possession game if that's what you want. It will be an interesting game. It probably comes down to ISU being able to slow down Brogdon and how well Virginia can match up with Niang. I expect a lot of Brogdon on Niang.

Pac 12 is having the worst showing ever for a conference that got seven teams into the tournament. 2-6 record, only remaining team is Oregon. All losses to lower seeded teams.

UNC was caught perpetrating a decades conspiracy of academic fraud covering its entire athletic department. It was so bad that there was serious talk of the entire University losing its accreditation. Yet here they are in the NCAA tournament. Way to uphold those standards guys. At least they didn't stretch too long.
