NCAA Tournament LATE NIGHT Thread

Amaker might really pull this off. Can't say I saw this one coming.

The Mountain West hasn't looked too good tonight...

As an Mich undergrad and Harvard grad who has never cheated at either university, dismissal from the university seems pretty serious for cheating, no?

victorious. Kind of a fun night. 

terribly comfortable in his own skin.

"Harvard really relented on their standards for letting people into Harvard and that has changed their basketball program a lot"  -- best soft-peddling of letting stupid people in to play sports ever.

Smart is lucky some Akron player didn't put an elbow right in the throat of one of his guys.

So i guess you guys wasn't a fan of the Running Rebels in the early 90's.  you can get hurt trying to take it easy also.  If that is their style to go full speed all the time, you got to play at that pace.    last thing:    S-E-C    S-E-C

S E C!

White canadians can shoot those threes.

Yeah....my Montana over Syracuse pick isn't happening. 

SEC Speed in Football: Running quickly

SEC Speed in Basketball: Getting out of the tourney quickly

I remember thinking i could watch the Harvard game and be in bed by midnight,  Damn they milk the ads in the Tournament.  It's only obviously when you want to go to bed.

Does Doug Gottlieb think ANYONE is good at basketball?

How about that number 1 conference's champion?  Pretty impressive.

need to come focused and ready to play VCU, if we do that, I really like our chances. Their style might just be a good fit for us.

If we can play well and move forward, that will be a great thing for our freshmen gaining even more confidence cause they played really well in their 1st game in the NCAA's.

For fuck's sake all you have to do is get the ball in bounds

Congrats Tommy

Yesssssssss. Hell yess

Haaaaavad.

Steve Alford: Not a good NCAA Tourney coach

Thanks for NOTHING, Amaker

If i had the points i'd make a thread.

but man, the SEC is just plain bad.  Total collapse in SEC for those teams they thought were slighted, and not looking so good after one night of the Dance.

Steve Alford + NCAA Tourney = PROBLEMS

Steve Alford + NCAA Tourney = PROBLEMS

I guess it doesn't matter if they respect your conference (Mountain West) or "disrespect" it (SEC).  They both stunk up the place.  Although the SEC teams shitting the bed after the UT coach running his mouth makes me laugh harder.  

has the #1 conference RPI. They have 1-3 record to show for it in the NCAA tourney with a lone win from Colorado State who beat a very soft Missouri.  They should bow out against Louisville.  SDSU may have a chance to beat Oklahoma but they won't go far in the next round with Georgetown coming up soon if they beat FGCU.  That means, they're likely to have a NCAA tourney record of 2-5 which is terrible for the supposedly best conference in the country.

Meanwhile, the computer and humans(except for NCAA tourney committee who rewarded MWC a ton with favorable seedings and punished B1G for beating up on each other) thought the B1G is head and shoulders above any other conferences in the country.  So far, so good. MSU and Michigan handled Valpo and SDSU with relative ease.  I am expecting all of the B1G team to win the 1st round.

Speaking of West Region, OSU suddenly have an easy road to the Final Four as long as they take care of business.

Happy for him, bummed he couldn't get it done here, but we're in a better place.

And Amaker had a catastrophe to clean up.  He did that well.
