NCAA TOURNEY THREAD- 3-21

[Team America]

I am looking forward to potential Arkansas and Baylor to go to FF

I don't want to look passed the next game, but Arky scares me a little for my Bears.

That game would be a blast, two teams that get up down the court

Yea both ways last 2 minutes were terrible. Whether calling fouls or not calling them.

Exactly. Went from bloody murder, to touch fouls, and back again. All without warning.

And the garbage tech thrown in for good measure. Without that tech, arkansas probably runs away.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

First 18 minutes of that half, every call went the hogs way. Last two minutes was the complete opposite. Weird.

 

[TortElvisII]

Not Cals fault he does scream "GO Go Go" and "Go make a play"

Ulis used to throw it to Willie Cauley Stein all the time.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Cliff Omoruyi still learning the game. Maybe by his Jr season, and I think definitely in his Senior season, he's going to be a star.

 

[HenryMuto]

If Rutgers were to somehow beat Houston that would leave the following teams left in that region

8 Loyola
10 Rutgers
11 Syracuse
4 Oklahoma State vs 12 Oregon State

Think how everyone complained about how Oklahoma State got screwed getting a 4 seed. Reminds me of 2018 with Kentucky when our bracket went wide open from a 5 seed yet Loyola won that one too.

I would think Loyola would be the favorite. Oklahoma State doesn't have enough besides Cade.

Texas Tech really screwed up not calling a timeout there at the end. As soon as they had trouble getting the ball to McClung off the missed free throw that should have been a timeout.

Additionally, when their hectic attempts at a pick and roll didn’t work with about 9 seconds left that also should have been a timeout.

They ended up getting a decent look but ideally they would have put up a shot with a few seconds of buffer to get a put back. Just bad execution all around.

I agree.

Loyola would be the best team remaining in that region.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Got to love the Mean Green.

I swear I kept hearing someone yelling timeout but I don't know who it was with about 6 seconds left that said the guy had a layup and blew it.

That game was the opposite of Kentucky Duke 92 where every play was a winning play. Those two teams were playing hot potato with the victory.

Rutgers up on Houston. A ways to go yet. But another upset??

 

[track42]

Cliff Omoruyi still learning the game. Maybe by his Jr season, and I think definitely in his Senior season, he's going to be a star.

Didn't we recruit him at one time?

 

[SmedMoley]

I don’t know bit they showed his wife on the pre game show and for an old crusty bastid he did pretty well.

$$$$$ will do that for you.

 

[HenryMuto]

Wow that hurt Rutgers gives up an OFF rebound on miss FT and it cost them 3

 

[Lazlo7]

To School

 

[Atrain7732]

$$$$$ will do that for you.

Guess I better hope I hit the lotto then

 

[jameslee32]

Big FT. Houston by 1.

 

[Lempface]

Rutgers giving it away lol.

 

[rick64]

Rutgers giving it away. Doing their best Cal imitation, milk the clock too soon.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Come on Rutgers lol

 

[HenryMuto]

OFF rebounds cost Rutgers this game

 

[RACdad]

Rutgers is choking

 

[Lempface]

@wildcatglenn lol, you’re gonna have to hate Syracuse for at least one more game.

 

[HenryMuto]

2019 Kentucky was down 1 with about this much time left and Herro hit the 3

 

[UK till Death]

I think Cal might have called the Rutgers coach with some advice on how to handle late game leads.

 

[Lempface]

How can Rutgers turn it over there without a shot? Unbelievable.

 

[Lazlo7]

Rutgers really fell apart the last 2 minutes

 

[jameslee32]

Survival Sunday. Houston's turn. Rutgers couldn't make a play late.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Another little 10 team bites the green weiner hardy ha ha.

 

[Atrain7732]

My bracket thanks you Houston well done

 

[JasonS.]

Rutgers pulled a UK football.

 

[Schwagg]

Rutgers player got assaulted, no foul, up 2 with 30 seconds to go. Refs send crooked coach to sweet sixteen.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Rutgers Schmutgers
Cougars Schmougars


Its all about the Mean Green Golden Eagles



LFG!!!!

 

[akaukswoosh]

Rutgers, welcome to The Big 10 Stinks Club.

 

[Atrain7732]

I disagree with the narrative as well that it was wrong to milk some clock there at the end it’s not like what Cal has done in the past when he starts milking at 5 mins they were under the damn 2 min mark it’s the right move IMO. They just couldn’t make a play.

 

[RACdad]

Rutgers choked on a big corn dog

 

[Ugoff]

How much did that rutgers guard have on this game?
