Late Night NCAA Open Thread

Submitted by BursleyBaitsBus on

SMC has Zona struggling a bit early. Butler and MTSU is also close!

Florida vs UVA will be a slog I'm sure. Iowa St. vs Purdue should be entertaining.

My brackets are busted. At this point I'm just rooting for Michigan and as many upsets as possible.

which were his third and fourth of the night.  the last one was an 'over the back' where he is falling backwards.  seems like ariz is getting the calls.  pulling for SMC in that environment, even though ariz is better for my bracket.

as our head coach earlier this year.  

Said it then, I'll say it now, please, no, never.  

Boring as shit basketball and always a fucking choker. 



Please let that never come to pass.

I need Arizona to win for my bracket (it's still probably fucked but I did go a cool 28-4 in the 1st round), but that call on the St Mary's guy was AWFUL. 

Is it me, or has the officiating been way worse in the tournament so far than in other years? 

I've seen some truly horrible calls, to say nothing of missing the fucking hand through the basket goal tend (fun fact - same exact thing happened to us in the NIT final vs. South Carolina and... Amaker did the exact same thing, running on to the court and getting T'd up - must be a Dukie thing!) 

But seriously, what's with the refs?

worst calls ever that cost the underdog a 3-pt game.  It's embarassing that the only people running up and down the court and getting paid can't do their job.  Three men, three vantage points, no stones to get it right.
