Hoops: Night games thread
UCLA up 8 with under 8 to go. St Peter’s up by 2 early. Later games are Arkansas vs N Mex St and a good one in Memphis vs Gonzaga.
Michigan vs Emoni Bates in the NCAA Final??
Go Peacocks! I used to live down Kennedy Blvd from St Peters.
C'mon Aggies! UCLA holding true. I think that team is a Final 4 team again. Everyone back and sooo many weapons. St Peters win would be more chaos and I'm cool with that...that quadrant is already fucked in my bracket (nobody cares).
Did you guys all see that that 11 seed beat a 3seed (should've been 2 seed) Tennessee today?! Was fun.
Yeah, UCLA just keeps finding ways to win. They don’t often luck good but they play solid enough to finish games.
Easier to win when you get to push off on every offensive possession.
Cheering on Peter the peacock with BenVom and Indy Matt live!
Rooting for Saint Peter's
Not seeing a way to buy tickets for Thursday yet. Anyone?
It could be Friday. Draw in first weekend doesn’t have an indicator for second weekend. Unless the region has already announced

No. I read it is Thursday.
One of my closest friends is a Murray St alum. She was there through the Isaiah Cannan and Cameron Payne days.
I remember in 2018 her telling me “we have this freshman who is better than both of them, just watch.” That turned out to be Ja Morant.
I like St Peters but pulling for the Racers
This NMSU-Arky game is fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugly.
Expecting Teddy Allen to take 20 shots in the 2nd half.
Rex Chapman bringing low-key tech guru energy to the mix.
I legit think memphis wins.
March 19th, 2022 at 10:03 PM ^
Cocks are gonna be hard to beat
March 19th, 2022 at 10:07 PM ^
Peacocks! Great story. Pride of Jersey City!
March 19th, 2022 at 10:25 PM ^
Peacocks shot block just gave me flashbacks to Trey Burke.
March 19th, 2022 at 10:27 PM ^
The New Mex St/Arkansas game is 33-32 with under 8 to go….in the second freakin half! That’s sad basketball!
March 19th, 2022 at 10:33 PM ^
Memphis/Zags outscoring them in the first half - hilarious.
March 19th, 2022 at 10:29 PM ^
I will say this - Emoni Bates seems like not the most fun guy to play with. Just seems like a guy who's a black hole offensively and not much of a defender.
March 19th, 2022 at 10:32 PM ^
Can…. Can… Memphis do it?
March 19th, 2022 at 10:32 PM ^
Gonzaga may be going home early out of the tourney.
March 19th, 2022 at 10:39 PM ^
What in the hell are NMSU and Arkansas doing?
Not only are they dragging the game of basketball back to the 1940's, they're crashing into each other like keystone cops.
March 19th, 2022 at 10:41 PM ^
HILarious.
March 19th, 2022 at 10:40 PM ^
Am I the only person here who's rooting for Memphis? I hate Gonzaga!
March 19th, 2022 at 10:41 PM ^
I don't like either team - so I'll cheer for the upset.
March 19th, 2022 at 10:45 PM ^
I feel like Penny is cheating to get players but Timme and Gonzaga are way too cocky year in and year out so I’m at a loss for who to root for here. If Gonzaga goes home that really opens it up for the Coach K slob fest to the Final Four
March 19th, 2022 at 10:52 PM ^
Same
who cares if penny cheats - they are fun to watch and play hard - this feels like a final 4 game, great energy
plus It’s fun to see timme scared to do his typical d-bag flexing after making easy layups -hope to see Duren put him on a poster in 2nd half
March 19th, 2022 at 10:40 PM ^
Peacocks? Srsly?!
PEACOCKS!
GO FUCKIN' PEACOCKS!!!
b/c: It's 2022. why the fuck not?
That is all.
March 19th, 2022 at 10:45 PM ^
Yes, I think Peacocks.
March 19th, 2022 at 10:45 PM ^
Wtf Gonzaga
And damn, st Peter's
March 19th, 2022 at 10:46 PM ^
ST. PETERS PEACOCKS ARE MOVING ON! DOING IT FOR THE J.C.!!
March 19th, 2022 at 10:47 PM ^
Everyone in Kentucky was anticipating a big UK-Murray State matchup.
The Peacocks had something to say about that. Wow!
March 19th, 2022 at 10:59 PM ^
Living in Kentucky…Facebook has melted down for two straight days now. I’m loving it!
March 19th, 2022 at 10:55 PM ^
Is Bob Huggins dead?
March 19th, 2022 at 10:56 PM ^
Peacocks & Friars, who knew?!
(and don't forget the Bluejays)
Reminds me of a conversation with a non-sports-fan:
Me: "Speaking of [mutual friend who lives in Minnesota], I gotta go, wanna catch the game. We're playing the Gophers."
Friend: "Gophers? gophers?! What kind of a name is that for a sports team? Not very intimidating."
Me: "Yeah, we pretty much always beat them."
May as well have said eat 'em.
YAY PEACOCKS!
March 19th, 2022 at 11:01 PM ^
Arkansas hanging on by a thread. Man, SEC looks WEAK.
March 19th, 2022 at 11:05 PM ^
There goes my Bracket. I had Gonzaga in the finals. Oh well.
March 19th, 2022 at 11:08 PM ^
They're going to win so what's your worry exactly?
March 19th, 2022 at 11:08 PM ^
Hahaha Timme doing work
March 19th, 2022 at 11:08 PM ^
Fuck the Zags.
March 19th, 2022 at 11:16 PM ^
There is some serious athletic talent on Memphis. And Emoni coming back like the former #1 player in the land. Great matchup against Chet and the Zags.
March 19th, 2022 at 11:18 PM ^
This Memphis team reminds me of 2014 Kentucky (raises fist in air). A team way more talented than their seed who could flame out easily any game, or could make the Final Four
March 19th, 2022 at 11:18 PM ^
Memphis is trying to break every bracket that wasn't already broken by Carolina.
Great game - damn.
March 19th, 2022 at 11:22 PM ^
How the hell does Memphis have 5 fouls against but Gonzaga zero...
March 19th, 2022 at 11:23 PM ^
Make that six - zero
March 19th, 2022 at 11:24 PM ^
Timmie looking unstoppable like Hunter today.
March 19th, 2022 at 11:25 PM ^
Wow Penny Hardaway is a terrible coach. Just refusing to adjust his defense, which is nonexistent.
March 19th, 2022 at 11:25 PM ^
Memphis looks like a very talented collection of players who met each other two weeks ago.
