NCAA TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND DAY 1 GAME THREAD

[bac2therac]

Uninspiring games thus far

 

[MiamiWolv]

Csu didnt even win the regular season MW or conference tourney yet were overseeded at 6 because of their Net. Boise did both that and were slammed with an 8. Results should matter

The mountain west getting four didn't get the scrutiny it deserved.

I mean how many years do we have to watch these teams get overseeded and picked off in round 1?

Wyoming shouldn't have been in, and CSU should have been closer to a 10.

 

[Mikemarc]

Ours may very well be the best game of the tournament this year

 

[kcg88]

#nobodycaresaboutyourbracket but so far with Memphis picked too.

Going 16/16 on the first day is one of the best feelings. Only done it once ever.

Agree. Wyoming out Texas A&M in. The 3 MW should be in 8-10 range. Its not linke they are scoring wins over Power 6 tourney teams in non conference play. Their big wins are to other mid majors. CsU did have a win over Creighton

I thought we didn't make the tourney according to you so how can we have the best game in it? Right @fluoxetine

 

[kcg88]

Tennessee vs. Longwood is men against boys. Ready to write that one off at the under-16:00.

I said I don’t consider that we made it. I get the ncaa said we did.

Not sure you understood my opinion in that thread.

and maybe my post should have read “our first for game my very well be better than any game in the tournament in 2022”. Probably gets my opinion of the first four stated more clearly

buzz Williams tore into the selection committee after A&Ms win over Alcorn St…it passionate, but factual and far more composed than I could have been. It got lunardis panties all wadded up! It was beautiful.

 

[MadRU]

Keegan Murray starts off tight, couple bricks. Two foul shots might get him going

 

[kcg88]

Richmond has gotten Iowa twice on backdoor cuts already. 6-4 Spiders

 

[kcg88]

Memphis sleepwalking in the second half.

 

[kcg88]

Iowa looks tight early.

 

[MadRU]

Iowa looks tight early.

Real tight. Murray, Perkins, Bohannon

 

[bac2therac]

Boise making this a game.

Memphis imploding and im not mad about it

 

[kcg88]

Memphis and Boise headed for a good finish

 

[bac2therac]

Well Boise falling apart again

 

[MGSA99]

Boycotting the NCAAs this year. Staying as far away from Greenville as I can tomorrow.

 

[kcg88]

Iowa 1/11 on threes. They'll be fine once those start dropping.

 

[MadRU]

If they can stand up. Floor must be slick.

 

[MadRU]

Richmond making Iowa look like crap

 

[bac2therac]

Richmond playing the same type of game that got them 3 A10 conference tourney wins. Iowa better shake them before the 5 minute mark of the 2nd half

 

[MadRU]

Perkins has been terrible

 

[MadRU]

Iowa down one at the half, playing terrible basketball

 

[kcg88]

Iowa down one at the half, playing terrible basketball

1/13 on threes. That's how we beat them 48-46.

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

Michigan made adjustments; we need to get better at that.

 

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

I had posted this in the Rutgers-Iowa Big Ten Tournament game thread. Here it comes.

"Let me tell you what's going to happen with Iowa. Based on what we're seeing, we're all going to pick them to go on big runs in the tournament and then they'll flame out in the first or second round busting our brackets."

 

[RUfan1027]

Very lackluster early session so far.

 

[kcg88]

11-0 run for Iowa in a flash. That's what they do.

 

[MadRU]

That’s Iowa basketball, good second half start

 

[Danprusa_4]

Let’s go IOWA! I’m rooting for the Hawkeyes the rest of the way idc

 

[MadRU]

Then they fall asleep two defensive possessions in a row

 

[bac2therac]

the pesky Spiders

 

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

I hate spiders.

 

[cicero grimes]

Iowa suddenly cannot knock threes consistently.

 

[MadRU]

All the wrong guys taking shots for Iowa

 

[LotusAggressor_rivals]

Memphis is going to give Gonzaga a serious push I think.

Memphis has a lot of talent, but they're sloppy.

 

[bac2therac]

Georgia State

 

[MadRU]

Iowa getting schooled

 

[bac2therac]

Richmond has been really impressive the past week and a half
