I hope Jon sees how easily it could be us losing to Oakland. **** it HAS been us. We gotta keep some of our older guys, next years team is going to be stupid talented, but they’re gonna need a veteran leader or two to help them when they get into the tourney.
NCAA tournament day 1 official thread
- Thread starter pisgah101
- Start date
Where are their defenders. How great the SEC was, ask Miss St, SC and UK. What’s crazy some of the Duke fans were siding with OmahaCat. Crazy
Got on the main page but as soon as I clicked the game day thread it wouldn't load for me. I know it had 64 pages on the game day thread though
College athletics may be going to $*** but this game tonight is why the NCAA Tournament is special. When a team has a shining moment like Oakland it’s a lot of fun to watch! Just not as fun to when it’s your team on the nerve wracking end of it. What a game!
I did make a joking remark to a friend about the KY boards being down and then like 5 minutes later they really were down!!
Love Big Blue Nation though and their passion for College 
Basketball. They’re a large and diverse fan base. Have always enjoyed talking hoops with them. It’s a tough one to lose, it sucks we’ve all felt that pain (and maybe even sooner than we hope not
!) its that kind of game though that helps this three week shin dig still retain some little nugget of magic to it. The unpredictability factor is ever present.

Texas A and M spent 75 on jimbo I bet U.K. ponies up
I was in a bar when UK lost...glorious! My enthusiasm for March madness is rekindled! ha!
At some point recruiting 5* #1 classes becomes irrelevant..buyer beware
NBA talent does not translate to CBB wins...UK is the poster child for this
For those that can't get on RR here's a snippet from Clay Travis Twitter
NC State's run continues. Dominating win over Texas Tech
The 3 seed in our region just lost. Now we need Houston to lose. And of course us to win.
There were a couple of those rupp’s idiots, toeriver and pharm. I imagine they are singing kumbaya together and consoling each other.
Jay Wright just said "the era of building teams around freshman is over."
I agree but Kentucky had an older team couple years ago and lost to St Peters in the opening round.
Here's more of what he said.
Gonzaga, Arizona, Washington State and Oregon all win. Good day out west. Let's take care of business tomorrow.
He’s absolutely right, the Covid extra year bs going away will help but you still gotta have upper classman now
I could be wrong, but I believe there are a few grammatical errors in that post. I would expect nothing less from that fanbase, though.
He did at least attempt to rhyme near the end there. I find the fixation on bodily fluids to be more than a little alarming. Do you think he likes films about gladiators?
Preach...he is 100% correct and its been that way for a while...good news is we have 6 new ones coming in next year! lol...
I don’t know about you guys, buts it’s impossible for me not to root for DJ Burns jr. He is so much fun to watch, has a great attitude, love how he passes the ball and despite not having great athletic ability, he uses every ounce of that big body and strength to back em down and make a move around the goal. Has such a smooth touch once he makes the move. Can’t believe he was born in 2000. (Damn I feel old) Congrats to Wolfpack nation on the W last night. TT is never an easy game and State just flat out executed and guarded well.
^yeah definitely rooting for him. His spin move and handle is so underrated. He feels the defender then bam he's at the rim. Loved watching the crowd cheer every time he touched the ball last night.
Yes! I got into that admittedly! (when the crowd would roar when he was fed the ball) they want to see the big guy make one of his patented “back em, work em and score against em” moves. TT didn’t adjust to that whatsoever.
