OPEN THREAD - NCAA Tournament Thursday Afternoon Session
This is what a curb stomping looks like.
Michigan State broke the lead-size graph on the video player
It's probably more like, persons a, b, c, d, e, f, g...... are watching the NCAA tourney. What can they do about it at this point? Is this a surprise to them? I certainly hope not.
Depends on what kind of security your company is running.
My friend worked at a company that logged whenever he would leave his desk to use the bathroom. And if he was away from his desk more than 10 min an email would be sent to his manager.
I think companies are required to let you know if that kind of monitoring/reporting is being done.
He better not be taking shits at work, cuz that email would be a daily one.
...are simply dominating, hopefully Michigan has a healthy rotation of bigs tonight...Win the rebounds and win the game!
Does a big like Nix fit into Beilien's offense?
probably not, but then again there's not much that Nix can fit into
Oh, Gottlieb is announcing...great.
Actual image of Florida Gulf Coast dormitories
I can't believe I turned down a full-ride there to go to UM...ugh!!
My parents live nearby FGCU. I'm pretty sure that's a man-made lake versus, say, the Gulf of Mexico. But, still, yeah...lawn chairs, sand, water, palm trees, and lots o' sunshine = much different dorm experience compared to Markley Hall. Not better. Just different!
Doing what good teams do,blow out inferior opponents.I'm impressed with how they came out strong in 2nd half even tho they already had a large lead.That's what Mich is capable of doing tonite but I'm not sure we will.
The offensive rebounding percentages to this point in the Valpo-MSU game:
Valparaiso - 9.1%
Michigan State - 59.3%
So, yeah. However, the Crusaders are narrowing the gap some in terms of effective FG% - now 36.5% to 46.1%
Is anyone else seeing the $#!tshow that is the shooting of the Bucknell-Butler game? 0-13 from 3 point combined. Wow
pretty sure I could hit an occasional 3 can I go to school for free?
Well from the top of the key everyone in college can make 9 of 10
Sincerly,
Tim Doyle
P-I-T-T, LETS GO PITT!
I am still in shock every time I look at the East bracket. It is a joke. Weakest 3 and 6 seeds by far. Weakest 4 seed. One of the weakest #2 seeds.
Good run by Bucknell to get them back within 3 after being down double-digits...
Edit: Now up to a 4 point lead, hitting ALL THE SHOTS. I thought this game was going to be one of the better ones of the day. We'll see how this one finishes, could be a good one.
this Butler-Bucknell game's about as fun as watching Wisconsin play Wisconsin
I get it's not quite a blockbuster game (though I'm enjoying it!) but Wisconsin v. Wisconsin is an uncomparable game...I'm talking it'd take a 4th grade girls School of the Blind, basketball game, to get to a Wisc. v. Wisc.-esque basketball game,.
Takes the lead
Annnnnnnd Butler takes it right back. These games are precisely the reason that the Tournament is awesome.
Freaking bucknell
I read that Wichita State's coach was previously at Winthrop. Would moving from there to Wichita State be an upward career move? Maybe more money but is it also a more prestigious position?
Yes. Way better conference that usually gets and at large bid each year.
Wichita State has had some nice success the past few years, and in the tournament as well.
sigh.
did anyone see that dude who plays for new mexico state..that guy is listed at 7-5
Let's go Butler! Don't jack my bracket up in the second game!
Bucknell, make a damn comeback now!
I have Butler in the Sweet 16. I'm glad it looks like they're going to hold on!
Never go against Brad Stevens when the NCAA tournament is on the line!
Another question: If a guy tips a missed shot back to his teammate, who gets the rebound? The guy who purposely tipped it or the guy who caught the tip-back?
I doubt tipping the ball constitutes possesion so I'd say no so the guy who ends up with the ball gets credit for the rebound.LSA is good with official stats,he'll clear it up.
What if someone tips in a missed shot? Does that count as a rebound and a FG or just a FG?
is slowly, but surely, pulling away.
really gonna screw me up
I believe I have Pitt upsetting Gonzaga.
