NCAAT Game thread...round 1

[Cat in ga]

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

Not as good as the announcers are saying.

Only 13 in the second half so far

Over and back on Duke no call

Nope, the ball and the whole body has to be across.

People that complain about seeding and pairings often have a point. We(UT) got a very very easy draw in round one. It was obvious five minutes into the game that Wright State would have been very overmatched physically by any SEC team in the tournament. You all have a legitimate gripe this year about the parings. There is no easy games on paper starting today with Davidson for you. .I still think we both get to Atlanta myself but we will see.

Loyola still in striking distance but letting me down a bit.

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.

If Seton Hall gets past NC State (and I'm at work, no idea where that game stands) the Pirates could be a match-up problem for Kansas. They have four good senior players, including Angel Delgado who is a terrific rebounder and interior scorer. Didn't see if Azibuike played today but if he's still hobbled, that Could be an upset special. So, only two ifs - Seton Hall wins, Azibuike is less than 100 percent, and I'll call the upset.

I would

Who comes first, UK or Ohio St?

 

[DerekMcPwn]

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

You goober. Iona is a horrible team. Kenpom ranks Canisius better and Northern Kentucky significantly better. I watched NKU lose to Louisville the night before last. They’re awful.

SDST is really a well coached team. They're moving the ball extremely well. GO Jackrabbits!

 

[502 Wildcat]

Loyola and Miami in a 3-pt shooting contest right now. Back and forth. Could be the game of the day so far. SDSU and OSU also a great first half.

I love March.

Too bad it's on that trash channel that most people don't have and shouldn't be part of march madness

 

[RoyKent]

Seton Hall was up 11 on NC St. but a 17-7 NCST run has it a one point game now

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

We're probably seeing the same type of game from SDST that we'll see from Davidson tonight.

 

[Blue till I die]

Come one Loyola!!!!!

Just have to watch out that Miami doesn't try and draw a foul on you on the baseline.

[TortElvisII]

I got the Loyola game right.... my first upset right.

 

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

Announcers wrong. Can't catch and shoot at .3. Must be tipped

 

[akaukswoosh]

Loyola was my best ‘certain’ upset today but was beginning to wonder if they could get over the hump.
Nice that KAT’s little brother is on the team.
