NCAA Tournament Day One (3/19)

[Ugoff]

Look for a gator surge in the 2nd half. They'll have the shade.

 

[TortElvisII]

Who is coaching Colgate?

Asking for a friend.

 

[SemperFiCat]

Colagte is one white team. Think there's only one black guy. It's like a reverse Georgetown.

 

[mcwildcats04]

Same here. Sooner the Suckeyes lose the better for me.

I would love to pull for Colgate over Arky but just can't do it with Arky being in their region. Arky with a much better chance of beating them if it comes to it.

Ruh roh astro

I changed my Va Tech/Florida pick to Florida this morning in my office pool and I'm regretting it. Hope the Gators cut down on turnovers in the 2nd half.

If Florida loses and Colgate pulls this off...yikes. Not a good look for the SEC. But I won't be too upset if Arkansas and eventually Alabama flame out. Their fans are getting obnoxious.

 

[RoyKent]

I took Winthrop and Colgate.

Looking good so far!

 

[Atrain7732]

Colgate got the kiss of death last night when Seth Davis picked them as an upset so I fully expect them to lose.

Not gonna lie even tho I usually root for SEC I would love to see them beat Arky.

Just like my wife said the other night, “nobody cares if Kentucky isn’t in it.” Of course she was talking about us, but it really is hard to get into these games without UK being a part of it.

I didn’t even fill out a bracket this year for the first time in probably ten years. The bracket pool I entered at work in 2019 I won the pot. Hell, I haven’t even looked at a bracket.

FWIW, though, I probably will watch some of it and definitely will watch from EE onward. Hoping for a non blueblood nor Gonzaga to win it. Non blueblood for obvious reasons and Gonzaga because I don’t wanna see them go undefeated. I think Illinois has a great shot to win the whole damn thing.

Feel the exact same. Didn't fill out a bracket, haven't watched any of the bracket shows, have not even looked at a bracket. Could care less. Golf season starts early this year...

 

[TortElvisII]

Matt Langel... How do you like Lexington?

 

[Lempface]

Colgate looking good.

Seth is like a broken clock He's going to be right a couple of times a day.

 

[zannmann]

SEC looking like crap early like usual.

 

[The_Catfather]

Seth Davis jovially declared this upset the second it popped up on the screen on Selection Sunday. Musselman was pissed about it too. Doesn't appear as if it motivated their players like he said it would though.

 

[SmedMoley]

Colagte is one white team. Think there's only one black guy. It's like a reverse Georgetown.

And oddly enough, he's stinking it up. Lots of unforced turnovers. Terrible shot selection.

 

[ala_kat2]

Arkansas looks like sh*t against Colgate. Not much team play from Arky. Colgate playing smart.

 

[mcwildcats04]

Colgate looking good.

They only have one loss on the year. Maybe they were a bit underrated.

 

[mdlUK.1]

SEC looking like crap early like usual.

Why do they do that? It’s almost always like that. Play like the Lakers against UK and like the Washington Generals in the NCAAT.

 

[Atrain7732]

One of the weakest technical calls I’ve ever seen there against VT. I’m so sick of the quick T and the flagrant bullshite

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

They only have one loss on the year. Maybe they were a bit underrated.

I think Colgate played the same 4 or 5 teams repeatedly all season? What’s up with that?

 

[akaukswoosh]

Arkansas is playing awfully well. Jalen Rise and others like Colgate upsetting the Hogs. I don’t see that today.

Jalen Rose has to be happy so far.

 

[TortElvisII]

Arkansas just flopped I hope they lose

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

lmao that flop

 

[ala_kat2]

ARK closed the half strong going from 14 down to 3 up. 36-33 Arkansas.

 

[RoyKent]

17-0 run to end the half for Arkansas. Wow!

 

[Ugoff]

Jalen Rose has to be happy so far.

He's getting the sads now.

 

[NavyCat88]

ARK closed the half strong going from 14 down to 3 up. 36-33 Arkansas.

Ark got a heck of a series of kind whistles in the last 6 min of the 1st half.

 

[The_Catfather]

Damn. What a run by the Hogs to close the half.

 

[Atrain7732]

ARK closed the half strong going from 14 down to 3 up. 36-33 Arkansas.

Gonna be hard to overcome that momentum in second half. Colgate looked pretty stunned there the last 8 mins or so.

 

[EliteBlue]

Colagte is one white team. Think there's only one black guy. It's like a reverse Georgetown.

Toothpaste is whitening.....that’s brand consistency

 

[TortElvisII]

That play in the Virginia Tech Florida game, man it hurts to even watch.

 

[HenryMuto]

Refs letting Arkansas do whatever they want on defense that final 4 minutes. I seen plenty of fouls that would been called on Kentucky if we had played like that during SEC play.

Colgate was up 33-19 with 4 minutes left EPSN had them at 84.5% to win..............

Then they had 7 missed shots and 7 turnovers.

They came unhinged big time when Arkansas put full court press on couldn't get a single good shot plus 7 turnovers.

F the SEC I am rooting for Colgate.

 

[Burly]

No way Calipari did what Mussleman did right there
Cal will not start pressing until 4 minutes left in a game
Mussleman knew he wasn’t winning a half court let’s run plays game against Colgate
What a great move use your athleticism and get after someone - I wish a Coach we knew would let his athletes go sometimes especially at Rupp

 

[pauled#1]

Arkansas hacked, smacked and flopped their way back to a lead!

 

[HenryMuto]

I think every single point came from the foul line or within 2 feet of the basket during their 17-0 run I can't even recall if Arkansas took a jump shot the entire last 4 minutes.

That was so brutal to watch but damn Colgate couldn't buy a foul call even a few times when Arkansas guys were smacking them on their arms trying to dribble. I never seen anything like that last 4 minutes with 0 fouls called against the pressing team that forced 7 turnovers.

 

[ukwildcat2004]

Appleby got his face straight busted.

 

[dckala2_rivals16641]

Scottie Lewis not playin well.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

lol announcer. that was definitely a flop on Colgate

 

[TortElvisII]

Holy scheeet

 

[TortElvisII]

lol announcer. that was definitely a flop on Colgate

It's a shame that's called when what happened in the first half was called a foul though.
