NCAA Day 2 Thread

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Some good games thus far.

Kansas is handling New Mexico St.

Northern Iowa up early on Wyoming

Michigan St and Georgia going back and forth

WVU and Buffalo just tipped and the pressure looks to be getting to the Bulls early.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

I swear, when WVU is running their press successfully, it can really speed up a game.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Am I the only one watching today?

Bueler?????

 

[mikeirbyusa]

Watching but no where near as exciting as yesterday.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

I hear ya mike. Stuck at work, but fortunate to be able to watch during slow times. Guess my coworkers don't spike my enthusiasm as much as good debate with my Carolina family here.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

Michigan St with the hard fought W today. The Michigan State fighting Izzo's move on.

 

[Hark_The_Sound_2010]

Georgia played tough late. Northern Iowa cruising. This WVU/Buffalo game is one run answered by another back and forth.

I need Wichita for my bracket (have them knocking off KU), so need them to pick it up here against IU

I'm all in for an oyster roast . . an oyster anything for that matter.

What can I bring . . ?

Wichita State and IU have a good one going.

Shockers up by 6.

I really like Gregg Marshall. His teams have grit. They scrap all the time, for loose balls, to get through screens, to box out on the boards, to get open. And they make few mental mistakes.

I heard that Bobby Hurley is on the short list to be Alabama's next coach. I think the Tide will go for a go with experience coaching in the South. But I thinh both Hurley brothers could be at major conference schools before long.

There's no quit in Belmont either . .

Louisville down 3 to UC Irvine with 6 and a half minutes left 1st half . . . WTF . . ? 16 points in 16 minutes . . ?

 

[WoadBlue]

Baker is 0 for 5 from the 3. You'd think that would have delivered a W to the Hooisiers. But the Shockers find a way to score.

 

[BillyL]

Indiana is about to go down . . .

Belmont hanging around with UVA.

UC-Irvine / Louisville is a close contest . .

 

[WoadBlue]

Baker was 9 of 10 at the line. Wichita State shot poorly behind the 3 but won the game with FTs.

 

[WoadBlue]

The final score of the UVA game will make it look like Belmost was never really in it. UVA closes well.

 

[BillyL]

Valpo hanging with the twerps . . up 21-18 @ 6:09 first half.

 

[WoadBlue]

Irvine's Ndiaye is huge. He make Mathiang - who is 6-10- look small. Of course 7-6 is 8 inches taller than 6-10.

Louisville needs to run Ndiaye to death.

 

[WoadBlue]

7-6 Ndiaye is camping in the lane, up to 5 and even 6 counts. Pitino ought to be all over the Refs.

 

[BillyL]

Louisville dodges a bullet . .

They really did. I'm not sure how there wasn't a foul called on that last steal.

 

[NCtrueconservative]

Speaking of refs, they are doing their best job of keeping Valpo from beating Maryland, where they have called questionable fouls all game and just gave Maryland the ball on out of bounds knockout after they looked at the replay CLEARLY showing it was out on MD and should be Valpo ball

 

[mikeirbyusa]

Yeah, I'm like ..............................how the devil do you give that to Merrylamd?!!

That was an example of replay being a waste of time.

The Big Ten always gets far more than its fair of calls in anything to do with the NCAA. The Big Ten used to rent office space to the NCAA befopre it moved to Kansas City.

 

[bleeduncblue]

Y'all see where Tom Crean told a ref "You suck" after the game, in front of several media folks. So funny!!

 

[strummingram]

Mark Few freaks me out... the guy has NO eyebrows!

 

[imajericho]

Since we play in Los Angeles in the Sweet Sixteen I take it we will be a late night game? Ughhh I am midnight. Hopefully it is a 7pm game or something.

 

[WoadBlue]

St JOhns vs. San Diego State looks like 7th grade teams playing. It is undisciplined running.
