2024 NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME THREAD (THURSDAY)

[Padsfs07]

Miss St looks incompetent.

They looked similar in the game against Auburn Saturday. Auburn doesn't have very good guard-play though. I don't see them going far either.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

byu is bad

I'm really nervous for our game now.

 

[bbnkat02]

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

Except Izzo isn’t half the human Tubby is. Izzo shouldn’t even be coaching after cover up sexual assaults.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Amen! I’ve been preaching this.

TV hyped up the Big 12 and the SEC. Fans fall for it every year. Been that way for years. Whatever conference they hype that year usually always bombs in the tournament.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

This Akron game is a fun watch.

 

[Padsfs07]

byu is bad

I thought Duquesne was overseeded quite a bit too. I had BYU beating Illinois too so this game will hurt my bracket.

 

[Jack2936]

Hubbard 15 pts no to's. Only 2 ast

 

[know1]

I picked Miss St even though I have no faith in the SEC teams whatsoever. Looks like I'm going to start out the tourney 0-2 since BYU is getting smoked too.

So much for Pope to Uk. Scratch another off the list.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

And some of you all seriously wanted Mark Pope to coach here.

Just goes to show all the computer metrics doesn't mean crap once they tip it off.
This team is tip 5 offence per possession or top 5 Defense.
This team has the most quad 1 wins.
Means nothing. Computers don't play the games.

How Akron is playing right now is how I fear Oakland will play tonight

I like Pope think he is a great guy. Never has been UK material. Fine coach though for a program like BYU.

It's the raftards bias former player scale. If pope played at UT no one would want him here.

 

[BigKari]

Creighton ain’t much to look at so far

I've never understood the love the media gives them every year.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

My bracket will crumble if Creighton goes down.

Anyone with a brain doesn't want him at UK. He is fine where he is. Done a solid job at BYU. That's probably his dream job anyway.

Especially in a one and done tourney. Where luck is so large.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

BYU can still win this.

Sure Creighton will pull away in 2nd half as well.

 

[Jack2936]

51 points?! Go SEC!

 

[CatOfDaVille]

So FD had a prop bet for the lowest scoring team on day 1. I picked Miss St at +2200. It's early, but I think I have a shot! Pathetic performance.

 

[akaukswoosh]

MSU's Hubbard's season ends really fast. Seems like a kid who will be 'encouraged' by other schools to enter the transfer portal.

 

[Noahtogo24]

10 minutes in, Long Beach sticking close:

I would love to see him at UK.

 

[FilsonCat]

Man, Mississippi State absolutely multi system failed that flame out of a game.

I think they are overrated but thought they’dwin one.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

MSU goes down.

 

[bbnkat02]

Ah yes. Let the MichSt slurp fest begin. Way to choke Bulldogs.

Same joke has been made 5000 times on here before. Your late to the party

 

[Eagles_Ball_69]

Lol. The prisoner of the moment stuff on Pope (or anyone else) in one game in the tourney is hilarious. Hot tourney runs are how places end up with guys like John Groce or Dusty May or Stan Heath. It's funny stuff.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Here comes Long Beach

 

[BamosReed]

Pope put a pile of crap on the floor. These dudes are Oprah Winfrey ***.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Interesting comment on the BYU game just a few minutes ago: no team has their top two scorers come off the bench like BYU.

So Cal isn’t the only one lol. Does this mean Mark Pope has removed himself from consideration for the UK job?

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Long Beach up by 3 over Arizona.

Except 50. Dude is solid.

Might as well get my bracket out of the way by 3 pm opening day.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Long Beach defense is whipping Zona

 

[Kentucky2022]

Long Beach more physical than arizona
