2024 NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME THREAD (THURSDAY)

[Henogee1975]

Mississippi state blows

 

[bbnkat02]

I really don’t like MichSt. They win this we will hear how godlike Izzo is in March. When in reality he has really done crap in 24 years.

He’s an ancient mummy who occasionally gets lucky.

 

[bbnkat02]

Clougherty's son terrible.

Like father like son

 

[bbnkat02]

And MichSt can’t miss either.

This is why I don’t do brackets much anymore. They have No business winning this. But they will.

 

[TortElvisII]

Probably over. So I will be 0 and 1.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Please Creighton. Win

 

[Catlogic15]

I hope this isn’t another SEC overrated year.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Michigan state plays like **** all year, sneaks in the tourney as a 7-10 seed, plays out of their mind for a weekend, makes it to the sweet 16 somehow, and then loses. The process repeats every year

 

[Blueheart32]

And MichSt can’t miss either.

Weren’t they favored to win?

 

[FilsonCat]

Mississippi State looks like a completely different team from the past month. On defense, they went away from icing the ball screen to switching off. MSU tried lobs over the top, but switching just hasn't worked.

Michigan State is also winning the 50/50 balls and rebounding.

 

[bbnkat02]

Weren’t they favored to win?

Depends on who you ask. It’s an 8/9 game.

Nonetheless they played like garbage all season. Now they decide it’s time to play for real. Hate teams like that.

 

[fredmanthecatfan]

Remind me next year not to pick Mississippi St to win anything.
I wonder how many people just wrote “MSU” on the second line.

 

[ukjenning44]

UK is the only SEC team I picked to survive the first weekend.
I‘ve got us losing to Marquette in the Sweet 16.

I thin UT and potentially us could be the only ones.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Akron is playing tough

 

[KyCatFan1]

I should have known not to pick against Izzo. No matter how bad they are he seems to always get the maximum out of his teams come tournament time.

I bet on Mich St -1.5

Wouldn't want to be running a paper bracket pool and have to deal with that. A lot of people will claim the one that won is their pick.

 

[TortElvisII]

Anyone else shocked by Akron?

 

[permdaddy_rivals45705]

Rough start for the SEC.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Anyone else shocked by Akron?

Is that one of Henry's 99 teams? If so then go Akron!

 

[BC_Wader]

Clougherty's son terrible.

No doubt who his dad was.

Was listening to that game on the radio running around town. The announcer reacted to a call saying something to the effect of " and look at the ref dancing on broadway". I immediately thought of Clougherty and then he said the refs name. Guess he studied Dad.

I didn't even think about it. Izzo always gets a win or two in March.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Anyone else shocked by Akron?

No. Creighton is the same exact thing as Kentucky. They don’t guard anybody at all, and they play fast. Creighton just has a good big but he is soft as charmin. Kentucky has better guards

 

[Padsfs07]

That one guy for Duquesne just drilled BYUs center. His face was all busted.

 

[bbnkat02]

I bet on Mich St -1.5

You’re about to make some money then.

 

[TortElvisII]

They look like twins except the dad had more hair.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

I know it's the NIT. But so far including Mich St. Big 10 is 4 and 0.
Mighty Big 12 looking like garbage so far in postseason

 

[warrior-cat]

I think some here have overrated the SEC in recent years to justify UK's struggles. It seems as if the SEC has flopped each year lately in the ncaa tourney proving that it is not so much that the SEC has improved as it is that UK has dropped some in strength as a team and program.

 

[TortElvisII]

Is that one of Henry's 99 teams? If so then go Akron!

I was wondering the same thing.

 

[bbnkat02]

Not only is MichSt gonna win. They’re gonna win big. What a joke. Great work Bulldogs.

Be fine by me if they knock out the UNCheats

 

[howercat]

I didn't even think about it. Izzo always gets a win or two in March.

He is mich States' Tubby, and they are ok with that.

 

[TortElvisII]

Miss St looks incompetent.

Amen! I’ve been preaching this.

 

[TortElvisII]

I don't think that is the key.

Sac probably bet on Miss St.

 

[akaukswoosh]

Miss St looks incompetent.

They do. And they curb stomped UT in the SECT.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

If you fill in your bracket as the games go, you don't end up with any misses. Try that hack out.

 

[chrisnoleinky]

I honestly could care less If any sec school wins. I just need us to win everyone else can go suck it.

byu is bad
