Generic League Tournament NCAA MBB Thread

No need to start a thread just for some non-PSU game. Purdue-Maryland nine minutes gone, one point game.

How about this…. Duke, UNC not ranked. Villanova nowhere to be seen. Georgetown is just awful and most amazing to me… Louisville is 3-23. What has happened!

 

[LionJim]

The wife is at Book Club and so no Netflix and chill tonight. It’s me, Purdue-Maryland, and further work on a power series representation that’s been driving me crazy, stymying me.

Loyer, Purdue’s #2, looks like Opie Taylor.

Kentucky is in real trouble, I’m reading.

18-18 with 5 and change left, first half.

The infinite sum of (z^n)/n from n=1 to infinity converges to -log(1-z) for abs(z)<1. (Easy.) What is, then, the infinite sum of (z^n)/(n^2) from n=1 to infinity? Nothing has worked!

And here I thought PSU is the only basketball school that is struggling.

Since you’re making up the question, make up the answer.

Nice game to watch. I can’t remember watching any non-PSU games so far this year.

I don’t think you can call Georgetown a basketball school any longer.

I watch a ton of Big 10 hoops. Other conferences not so much

Did they teach you to do this in chemistry? Take a chance of blowing up the world?

Yeah, I’m seeing Purdue play and come away impressed but I don’t know who else is out there.

I can’t remember who won it all last year. It’ll come to me, no hints.

Omg…LJ, I have no idea! Let me know, my mind is going!!

 

[LionJim]

That was a quick first half. Purdue 28-25. Maryland missed two free throws at 0:30, you can’t do that against the good teams.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Just remembered! Thank God

 

[LionJim]

Omg…LJ, I have no idea! Let me know, my mind is going!!

Kansas. I remembered.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Come March there is going to be a team that wins 6 games in a row. Good luck picking that team. Seems to me there are a dozen teams to pick from!

No matter. I’ll still finish in the bottom 2% of the Tournament Pick ‘Em. I suck at poker too, apropos of nothing.

I’m still amazed I was allowed anywhere near a lab or production plant.

“Was.” That’s a lot more comforting than “am.”

Purdue 40-43 Maryland with 12 remaining in the second half. 14-3 Maryland run.

MD goes on a 28-4 run to take a 17pt lead over Purdue.

Momentum is a crazy thing. MD get hot, PUR panics and starts heaving up poor shots which feeds MD momentum. Throw in a few turnovers.

Purdue 40-43 Maryland with 12 remaining in the second half. 14-3 Maryland run.

Wow, 41-58. That’s a 29-4 run. (I figured out the problem, hiding in plain sight.)

29-4 Maryland run. Terps up 17. Holy smokes

Two minutes left, 11 points. The game looks to be over.

I’ve seen enough. Maryland wins.

I’m calling it a night. Thanks for the fun, I enjoyed myself.

Kentucky is in real trouble, I’m reading.

They’re 17-9 and tied for 4th in their conference…I’d take that kind of trouble every year.

 

[BobPSU92]

“Was.” That’s a lot more comforting than “am.”

Definitely.

Northwestern is now just one game behind Purdue…..they were picked 13th in the conference pre-season.

It's because you are limiting yourself to positive numbers.....try some negative numbers and see what happens...or maybe some imaginary numbers

It’s in the complex plane. Since the coefficients are real numbers it makes things so much simpler as you can do the work in the reals and it extends to the complex plane easy peasy. I solved it last night; it was just a lack of imagination that was holding me back.

Watching Ohio State-Purdue, Purdue’s put the game away with like 10 minutes left. Any team seeing Purdue for the first time, on a neutral court, is gonna have a challenge.

North Carolina 63-69 NCSU at 2:30 of 2nd. It’s 0-14 on points off turnovers.

Now 0-16, game over. 63-75 with 1:20 left, it was tied at 5:30.
