NCAA Tourney Thread
- Thread starter Henry Kendall
- Start date
I don’t know if I can say that. He did put the elbow into his face. That said bleach head does do a ton of flopping
Refs doing everything they can to let Baylor back in this. Fouling all over the floor.
Historic collapse by NC however.

Good call Aston. That was the year with the Joe Castiglione on the committee assist. The difference was everyone was saying how much we didn’t deserve it, with one guy (Lunardi or Palm) calling it the worst at large pick in many years.
With Baylor & Kentucky both knocked out of the tournament, the East region is wide open for a low seed to make the Final Four.

I am not surprised Baylor lost this game...they've actually not been playing all that great for about the last month. I am surprised UK lost to St. Peter's. I had UK in the Final Four knowing Baylor's poor form.
And Creighton vs KU right now. This is the type of game Kansas likes to lose in the tournament. Creighton got a bunch of Dougie McBuckets wannabes hitting 3's like they're in a game of horse.
Potatoe Potahtoe..
Flagrant 2 implies malicicious intent..
You dont call that on that play unless you want to change the game's outcome..
Luckily UNC overcame the Vegas Fix.
Go go Petey!
Thank God for St Peters!
I couldn't stand it to refer to UNC, Michigan, or even worse Memphis, as the Cinderfella.

Second half is where Memphis usually folds like a cheese wrapper
I don't disagree as anyone watching the game could see that Baylor was super aggressive.
But don't forget UNC has been getting the calls for 30+( or forever) years in this Tournament.
GO TU!!!
The Michigan and Memphis experiment of hiring NBA players and then hiring real coaches as an assistant working?
In Michigan case yes in Memphis no.
Is this the future of college basketball considering how NIL will be important to recruiting down the line?
Can Michigan's Bigs play that good going forward?
In game coaching still matters both Penny and Juwan made some mistakes down the stretch.
The Danny Manning experiment didn't work out at Wake.
interesting to me how this trend might play out.
Blake Griffin at OU, Marcus Smart at OSU, Paul Pressey at Tulsa LOL.
Time will tell.

Yep...
IL getting some unusual calls
Pretty sure IL politicians and/or go-betweens have greased the officials
It's an IL thing

Like the foul call on Houston when he didn’t touch him but the Illinois player kicked his leg out and fell down. Bogus call.
Can’t help but be envious of how hard Sampson get his guys to play. Every single loose ball and rebound is contested and Houston is usually there first
LOL NCAA committee..... Reggie " this isn't a five seed".... Nice showing Coogs.
GO TU!!!!
GO TU!!!!
Tulsa only lost by 2 points in their only meeting with Houston this year we played most of our games within 5 points close losses due to losing players to strict academics at tu just quoting our fired ex head coach it’s not wins or losses but how close you played so said horseshoes Haith

Seeding is always affected by conference affiliation but it seems to be more so this year than in recent years. As I mentioned on the conference board it boggles the mind that the NCAA created a metric to improve seeding then totally ignored it.
I don't like Sampson. But... he may be the best defensive coach in NCAA history.
Yep. Said it.
And Houston is fun to watch. Definitely a 2 or 3 seed. The 5 seed thing was as stupid as giving the MWC those 4 bids.

All power 5 conferences for the top 16 seeds except, Gonzaga (obviously) Villanova and Providence both Big Least teams.
GO TU!!!
I’m definitely not a Sampson (or Houston) fan, but he did a great job this year. Imagine losing your leading scorer & #4 scorer during the season & still getting your team to regroup and make the Sweet Sixteen. That is a national coach of the year performance.
Never confuse me as a Houston fan and Sampson is annoying but....
