Friday's NCAA tourney discussion thread

The refs have been horrible the entire game for MSU-Bucknell. I recognize the tall bald guy from some of our games, where he has been equally bad.
This is why I never pick teams like Virginia or Cincy in my pools because they lack offense and if they fall behind they do not have the explosiveness to come back
i have UVA winning one of my brackets so even tho it would be nice for a 16 to final win, I dont want this..that said I will jinx it, it looks like UMBC is going to do it...up 16..you gotta be kidding me
Need to bump this post from this afternoon!
It's one thing to be the first #1 seed (not to mention overall #1) to lose to a #16 but to get your asses kicked? Wow. So much for UVa's defense. They're going to give up over 50 points in this half.
My thoughts exactly. so glad I fell asleep at 8:30 last night instead of tonight
so it looks like the SEC and Big 10 are the big winners thus far in advancing schools, dont have the numbers but the Big 10 is 4-0. Pac 10 0-3
Umbc has several ties to uva. HC dad used to coach uva. Star player lyles dad Lester played for uva. Another umbc player was a ballboy for uva. Tony Bennett need to change his style. Has no explosiveness or flexibility with his offense.
Bah. They lost 3 of 7. Texas lost in OT, Oklahoma lost in OT, and TCU was tied with like 3 minutes left.
Dave Odom was an assistant at UVa in the 80s. Might have been when they lost to Chaminade.
Lester Lyles was a football player at UVa and made the NFL.
6-4 for ACC? I think. 6-2 for SEC, Big 10 4-0, Big East 4-2, Big 12 4-3, Pac 12 0-3, AAC 2-1, A10 2-2..think these are right, someone can correct if wrong
SEC has proven their worth after some really down years. I think the next round we will get more of a sense of some conference strength, obviously the Big 10 strength is concentrated at a higher level. Its pretty obvious that the Pac 12 is an embarrassment right now
I am really fishing for likes on my post yesterday afternoon! I say it’s deserving!
Bucknell and Buffalo have to win their league tournament for a NCAA bid while Rutgers plays in a power conference where there are more bids offered.What should annoy Rutgers fans is watching some of these lowly rated teams have talent equal to or better than Rutgers .
Good summary Bac! It seems like SEC and Big East and followed by Big 10 are most impressive. Actually you can make the argument that all 6 teams in the Big East have been the Most impressive . Villanova and Xavier romped. Seton Hall and Butler with double digits wins in games that were a point or 2 apart in VEGAS and against good teams they beat in NC State and Arkansas. Providence takes A& M to the wire and loses and Creighton loses to Kansas State. Very respectable and the best overall showing by all the conferences so far .
SEC with 6 of 8 advancing also impressive but not as much as Auburn , Kentucky, Texas A&M, Alabama, struggled to win, Tennessee and Florida are only teams that dominated and Missouri and Arkansas got blowed out by Butler and Florida State.
Big 10is 4-0 but Michigan and Ohio State really struggled to win, Michigan State did not dominate Bucknell and only won by 4 and only Purdue dominated. Terrible bad break with Haas injury.
Acc is 6-4 with Syracuse getting 2 wins but Virginia going down making history leaves a terrible taste in the mouth. Florida State who I have been saying all year impressed me in person at the RAC, was the most impressive team.
Big 12 a mixed bag. Kansas started slow and was lucky missed a lot of foul shots and many wide open threes, West Virginia looked good, and Texas Tech and A&M gutted out wins that were close with 2 minutes left . Oklahoma , Texas looked good losing in overtime and Kansas State had a nice win over Creighton . However, not 1 dominating/performance by their 7 teams but no embarrassments either .
PAC was CRAP.
