NCAA Tournament Open Thread
This last 4 minutes is gonna take 3 and a half hours
Wow. One of the guy cheerleaders for wsu looks like he got in between a sparty with a match and his couch last night. Either that or he got hit by a car there in LA.
Edit: for the record, I wasn't trying to say he's ugly, he's a perfectly normal looking dude with a nasty looking shiner and he's all swollen and bruised...
what a goofy looking dude
I feel like the refs are aware Thomas has 4 fouls and are just not calling anything on him anymore.
The shockers are shell shocked...they are and have been playing not to lose this game...
We TOOK our win. Burke made 30' shots. KU gave us nothing more than 1 backcourt violation. They even went 4 of 5 at the line down the stretch. We got no favors...
THIS is a choke job. Wichita St. is pissing down their leg in front of the entire nation. Sure Ohio is making some plays, but the shockers are throwing the ball around everywhere giving them chance after chance.
But that one miss was pretty big, they didn't fall on the ball and let GRIII have that putback, and then there was whatever the hell they were doing on their last play. Not to mention not scoring to let us close after being down 14. They gagged a little too.
If Wisconsin ever had these refs the entire team would foul out.
By craft to open that up.
Ohio State is not Michigan. They don't have the scorers to come back in this.
But Ohio has these refs
Umm flop
it would just be like ohio state to out shine our comeback..
Not sure if serious. 9 seed versus 1 seed. Ohio state came back wi 10 minutes left, we came back 10 down with 2 minutes left.
I can't see Wichita St. closing this out now. What a collapse
Wow, Wichita state is going to blow this game
I can't even be mad about miracle comebacks
Refs can not not blow the whistle.
What happened to the Wichita offense?
Wichita State's body language is horrible. They're bracing for the inevitable now.
Is OSU the team of destiny? (gag)
Jeebus, Wichita State. You were up by 20. Don't blow this.
This is unreal. Where's Ted Valentine?
This is one of the all time biggest collapses I've ever seen. Ohio State is having the Final Four spoon-fed to them on a silver platter.
with 2:30 to go.
I honestly gave up and turned this game off about fifteen minutes ago. I'm all in for Ohio now.
Holy refs. I think Ohio has shot 17 free throws this half alone.
This officiating is a travesty.
This officiating is a travesty.
This is seriously one of the worst games I've ever seen officiated. And normally refs don't bother me.
Wichita St. need to take it to Thomas. He's the only reason OSU is still in this.
Wichita State Chokers
Or go home.
Is there any data on whether "momentum" exists? Is a team that is on a run objectively more likely than their opponent to score next? I know that game-to-game momenum is pretty overrated, but what about within a game?
I think you watched the perfect example of momentum last night. But this right here isn't momentum as much as it is a choke. Not the same situation.
Also, shame on you and your question for bringing to mind Roundtree being tackled at the 1 @ Illinois.
BIG offensive rebound for the Shockers.
Huge bucket
Game over.
Nope
That was ridiculous by Van Vleet
Wichita got lucky craft took that shot...wowo
Damn.
Reggie Miller calling for more fouls.
Ice water in the vains on those free throws
OSU dug too deep a hole
If Ohio wins, I blame it on the people who were searching the internet for Buckeye schadenfreude with 10 minutes to go.
