NCAA Tournament - Evening Games Open Thread
Because thread creation is problematic right now, here's a new one because why not?
Anyway, in progress -
Hawaii / Maryland - Hawaii is up 15-14 with 7:11 to go in the 1st half (TBS)
MTSU / Syracuse - Syracuse is up 50-41 with 11:03 to go in the 2nd half (TNT)
In a little bit -
TruTV will have Texas A&M and Northern Iowa at approximately 8:02 PM EST
TNT will have Wisconsin and Xavier at about 8:40 PM EST
TBS will have Oregon and St. Joseph's at about 9:40 PM EST
ND got so lucky today. What else is new?

Cool how everyone in the Hawaii crowd has those plant things.
LSA,
if i could create a thread, i would create one that was basically, OT - Predictions about the Tigers This Year
we have a lot of folks on this list that are astute baseball fans and i have seen that the tigers made a few moves in the off season and so far their record looks pretty good in spring training. it's a slow night on the board, so maybe many of the tiger fans would weigh in.
anyway, thus my request.
We can do that for you.
I will post this reply in there so people know who and what so as to give proper credit, but yeah, we will create these to support content creation so long as the problems on the board persist.
looks like the tiger fans are weighing in, which is what i was hoping for.
and fwiw, i could care less about the 'credit' for an OP, i just enjoy the take of the michigan sports fans on the various topics of the day, some of which occur in my little pea brain and are hopefully thread-worthy. i try to be at least a little discerning in that regard.
Did you see the gut on the UNI cheerleader?
Trimble just runs into a dude in the back court to get a foul. Something is wrong with rules that allow that.
Commentator praised it too
Doug Gottlieb...go figure.
Syracuse beats Middle Tennessee 75-50. That must sting for Sparty to see a mediocre team that many believed didn't belong in the tourney destroy the team who knocked them off.
Good.

Haha yeah they got wrecked by a bad 10-seed. But cuse didn't guarantee a national title.
Dantoni didn't remind them that pride comes before the fall.
I hope it stings their ureters, too!
Yesterday, when I checked my brackets, they had Witchita State leading Miami something like 20-6 in the first half. Only it was Miami that got out to the big lead. Today, it showed VCU leading Oklahoma 59-56 just moments after I left watching with with Oklahoma up 59-49.
Beware the dashed bracket hopes.
Pretty sure the 59-56 was a correct score. VCU was up on them by 3 but only for like 20 seconds

Kinda bizarre how Hawaii has two players with the names Stefan Jovanovic and Stefan Jankovic.
Here in Iowa next to the gf who's a UNI alum. Panthers playing well...
Boomer Sooner!
At least Northern Iowa came to play.
Did we recruit the Sumner kid from Xavier at all? He's from Detroit and a quick, athletic kid. And he plays defense.

those are checkboxes that aren't on Michigan's current recruiting board. See: Jalen Reynolds
It's early and the fat lady hasn't left her house, but UNI playing well.
Time for the refs to take over the game and ruin it for N. Iowa.
Standard protocal.
March 20th, 2016 at 10:03 PM ^
Damn. Didn't see UNI coming at all.

UNI putting the final nails into the coffin of the state of Texas...

A&M getting out the nail puller!

For the past few years, in addition to the traditional bracket, my buddies and I do a fantasy football style draft for the tournament. We (5 of us) each pick 13 teams and are awarded points that increase each round, highest point total wins. It's really fun and allows for cheering for upsets that you normally wouldn't root for in the bracket. Try it out next year.
March 20th, 2016 at 10:16 PM ^
Holy shit UNI is melting down big time right now.
March 20th, 2016 at 10:16 PM ^
The one team worse at In-bounding than us
March 20th, 2016 at 10:16 PM ^
UNI trying to fuck this up now...sheesh
March 20th, 2016 at 10:20 PM ^
Insane
March 20th, 2016 at 10:20 PM ^
Working the clock in the Northern Iowa game?
March 20th, 2016 at 10:21 PM ^
You have got to be kidding me
March 20th, 2016 at 10:23 PM ^
Biggest choke job I've ever seen.
March 20th, 2016 at 10:23 PM ^
worse than what homeless guys do to Mad Hatter in the shower?
March 20th, 2016 at 10:23 PM ^
14 points in 31 seconds????!!!

Knock them out lmao how can u be so bad at inbounding the balk
March 20th, 2016 at 10:24 PM ^
That is the biggest BS call on Jesperson. I mean are you kidding me with these "And ones" that officials seem to be calling. They are ruining games with made up fouls. If you don't actually see a foul, don't anticipate a call! Ridiculous.
March 20th, 2016 at 10:26 PM ^
Yeah then the no-call on the trap. Let them play or don't let them play, but don't pick one for one team and not the other.
March 20th, 2016 at 10:24 PM ^
Worst choke job I think I've ever seen.
March 20th, 2016 at 11:02 PM ^
w/ a minute left w/ Jay Williams as my benchmark for when a game was safe. (Jay Williams went coast-to-coast for a quick two, and then stole the ball from a Maryland player in three-point land and then hit an immediate three to cut the lead to 5 with ~49 seconds left.)
I guess now it's 44 seconds and 12 points. (Or 34 seconds if you go by when TAMU scored to cut it to 10.)
March 20th, 2016 at 10:24 PM ^
That was a meltdown for the fucking ages.
March 20th, 2016 at 10:24 PM ^
How did UNI not get a 5 second call after in bound when the guy was trapped in the corner?

There is no closely guarded rule any more.
March 20th, 2016 at 10:29 PM ^
I thought u had to be dribbling though. No?

Hmm..that's possible, I'm not sure, I had just heard there was no rule any more.
March 20th, 2016 at 10:39 PM ^
you have to pick up your dribble, but here he just caught a pass
March 20th, 2016 at 10:30 PM ^
I know - he was in the corner forever.
March 20th, 2016 at 10:50 PM ^
There is no 5 second count in the backcourt, dribbling or not. Only the 10 second count.
