NCAA Tourney Friday Games Discussion Thread

[fatsam98]

I expected them to learn from the last two debacles. Also, adding Jones and having Smith and Loyer with a year under their belt, I expected them to blow Grambling out. Still might…but not impressive right now

I feel like they just don't match the intensity of teams in the tournament. I'm sure they'll pull away now but they was a little dicey for a while

Can’t believe how bad Purdue looks

They’re tight in March. It’s who they are.
They lost to St Peters with Trevian Williams, Ivey, and Zach Edey.

 

[fatsam98]

They miss Mackey too

Did Purdue get a B1G referee crew?

Grambling 9 Purdue 2

 

[High Quality H2O]

@Scangg doubt we get any Wol sightings based on minutes played but still curious to get a look

The way that first half went, it should have been 15 to 2

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Nebraska headed for another NCAA loss.

The athletic ability and strength of A&M
Completely overwhelmed them.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Can’t believe the pace of this Nebby/Tamu game

Buzz have the longest in game interview i ever saw. He said the tempo was too fast. He quickly realized Nebraska D is so bad so why not play fast..

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

If Nebraska gives up 100 all people on this thread get a free corndog.

Actually change that…if Nebraska gives up 100 @bac2therac will sign your bracket

Highlights from the first half

RAC Wisconsin is back!

 

[bac2therac]

What a horrible set of games we just had to endure

 

[Captain Hogleg]

JMU is much more athletic than Wisconsin. Their defense is eating Wiscy up.

Vermont-Duke was the most competitive of the bunch. That tells you something

 

[knight82]

Hepburn is a turnover machine tonight

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

JMU is gonna destroy Wisconsin.

 

[Captain Hogleg]

For those of you who haven’t watched JMU this year; they play excellent defense. They did not get to 31 wins by accident. Beat MSU at Breslin - not an easy task.

Whisky looks totally out of sync

 

[fatsam98]

Lucky they're only down 8. This is pathetic. I really am not impressed by Klesmit at all. Need to get Storr going

Saw that MSU game - JMU is better than a 12 seed.

Yeah I like JMU.

 

[knight82]

Amazing it's a two possession game lousy as Wisky has played

 

[SBP]

Wisky looks like us…

 

[fatsam98]

Wisky looks like us…

Come on we're not THAT bad

 

[runner1954]

Wisky looks like us…

Very impressed with JMU. Can they keep it up for 40 min?

 

[fatsam98]

The number of missed layups for Wisconsin is insane.

Wahl having a rough night with missed bunnies

He's had a horrendous game, slow on defense too, but they just said he's playing with a knee injury.

Players do that?

I kid, I kid...

Grand Canyon is America's team! GO LOPES!

I am at Barclays for all 4 games. Looks to be nice showing of NW fans. Everyone around me is a NW fan.
Wearing my Rutgers apparel !

There is a guy who looks just like Michael Cohen ( Trump fame) behind me. Holy **** ! May be him.

I will try to take a picture.

For those interested , it was indeed Michael Cohen of Trump fame who sat in the row behind me.
I snuck a few pictures but I’m too non tech savvy to know how to upload.
He was only there for afternoon session with his son

Lot of fun going to the games today but exhausting as i stayed for all 4 games. Still can’t
Believe i sat thru many BET’s for entire tourney along with Piscataway Mike and several others. Fun times indeed !

Wore my Rutgers apparel to the games today and saw a handful other RU faithful.

A few UCOnn fans yelled “Thanks for Cam” to me. Felt like giving them the middle finger! Lol

Noisiest fans of the day were NW and JMU. Both brought lots of fans.

Not a great day for the B1G. Nebraska a no show and Wisconsin bullied.

Screw those teams but I will root for Northwestern against UConn .

That doesn't need to be said....should be a given.

 

[shields]

Nebraska had a 8 vs 9 game and A'M' was just better.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Wisconsin came out afraid. JMU crowd was real loud and team was excited to play on the big stage

Make no mistake ! JMU is a good ;fast and athletic team and answered every run that Wisconsin had.

I also think Gard didn’t and or doesn’t plan his game plans well.

Wisconsin looked so woefully unprepared in defending a quick / athletic team.

 

[MadRU]

I am rooting for all the B1G teams in the tournament.

 

[RUChoppin]

I am rooting for all the B1G teams in the tournament.

Generally speaking, I root for B1G teams in the tournament, and for lower seeds to beat higher seeds.

Love seeing teams overachieve and have an opportunity in the spotlight. This year we have Duquesne, Grand Canyon, James Madison, Yale, Oakland, (what should have been Samford)... The tournament just wouldn't be as interesting or fun without these storylines. I'm hoping some of them continue through the sweet 16.
