NCAAT Game thread...round 1

[KyCatFan1]

Well that sucks. I took a chance on UNCG and they nearly pulled it off, but had a bunch of bad possessions at the end.

 

[Bkocats]

Does Iona not know there is another team in tha paint with them?

 

[Bkocats]

Nothing cracks me up more than pep bands playing songs like “Push It”

Close but no cigar.

 

[CarolinaCatsFan]

No. 10 for UNCG - in back to back to back series:

1. Threw up a horrible shot
2. Gave up a 3
3. Fouled on a push off

Ouch.

What are things Karen Sypher said?

The answer is: "What is, "Miami is still awful?"

 

[zac_limanni]

Graham must really be Jordan with the whistle he gets… so that's good to know

 

[bigblue1971]

Teams literally cannot breathe on Devonte Graham. Most protected player in college basketball.

 

[KyCatFan1]

Looks like no major upsets are going to happen early on today. Maybe later in the day. There's a chance Miami loses but I don't consider that a major upset.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Kansas’ path to the Elite 8 is a joke. Another reason to hate the overrated Big 12. They prop that program up and give them these underserved cakewalks.

 

[HenryMuto]

All year long we seen upset after upset so this year the 1st round is going to have the least amount of upsets of course.

 

[TortElvisII]

Caleb Wood has a hell of a future in vampire movies.

Stay tuned

Penn cut it to 4 but KU running away with it now. Up 12 with 4:30 left

 

[PhattyJ4UK_rivals309166]

even when they got the ball down 4 with 9 seconds...they throw a heave 3/4 court pass... what the hell...did they not want to win?

 

[Jazzycat]

Congratulations to the VOLS today. Looked really focused and poised in their victory over Wright State today.

 

[HenryMuto]

Penn 5/14 from the line your not upsetting teams shooting like that. Ivy league teams are supposed to be good at FT and 3 point shooting wtf.

 

[Bkocats]

Oh well
Was hoping

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Kentucky’s bracket is always guaranteed chalk.

 

[EliteBlue]

Rat K just called Iona a "championship level team" ...yeah ok Ricky P

 

[RoyKent]

Duke/Iona put up 92 points in the first half. Lot of defense being played!!

 

[Blue till I die]

Miami vs Loyola Chi looking to go down to the wire

 

[zac_limanni]

Miami and Loyola can't hit a jumper to save their lives

 

[westerncat]

Gonzaga vs. UNCG is in Boise? Bah this camera angle is cancer

Thought we went thru this overhead camera some years back. Hate that angle. The NCAA finds a way to screw something up every year.

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

No Rick Barnes fan here but gotta give him credit. He has turned the Vols into one helluva basketball team.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Kansas’ path to the Elite 8 is a joke. Another reason to hate the overrated Big 12. They prop that program up and give them these underserved cakewalks.

Seriously though... when your toughest potential game on the road to the Elite 8 is either Clemson or a depleted Auburn team, that’s a joke. Not like this is 2008 KU that deserves an easy path, it’s a ho hum Kansas team that I think is MAYBE a top 10 team.

 

[Cat in ga]

Hope Iona turns into the globe trotters in the second half.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Rat K just called Iona a "championship level team" ...yeah ok Ricky P

MAAC championship?

 

[EliteBlue]

seeing Duke just run a inbounds stack play to start the second half at half court when the defense was all inside the 3 point line was extremely "dukeish"

 

[TortElvisII]

Thought we went thru this overhead camera some years back. Hate that angle. The NCAA finds a way to screw something up every year.

Us tonight.

 

[Cat in ga]

They are going on and on abouts Dukes zone. Gotta play zone when you can't guard anyone.

Second Gracie Lou Allen is first.

 

[zac_limanni]

Iona also scored 39 in the first half… so how good can the zone really be?

 

[RoyKent]

Wouldn’t mind seeing Ohio St lose to get the 5/12 upset out of the way.

 

[fisherscat]

All the higher seeds winning today. Hope trend continues. Dont want to be the first big upset of the tourney.

 

[RoyKent]

Hate to say this, but Duke has been really damn impressive today.

 

[santamaria78]

williard will kill nc st

 

[EliteBlue]

All the higher seeds winning today. Hope trend continues. Dont want to be the first big upset of the tourney.

Hoping it's Buffalo that has the lone upset of the day

 

[HenryMuto]

I would

 

[Cat in ga]

Over and back on Duke no call
