I don't think I've EVER seen a team have 7 fouls 6 minutes in to BOTH halves. Insane.

You guys watching the 16 seeds are hard-core. I may watch a little of later game due to MSU playing but usually I couldn't care less about these crap Dayton games.

I just like to watch them to see if I can guess whether or not they can hang with a 1 for a 20-25 minutes. These 2 look like theyll lose by 30+. Maybe even 40 to Bama.

Something Avery Johnson said that I disagree with is that the corner three is the easiest three I always preferred looking at the backboard versus the side of the backboard. I was fine in the corner but not as good as I was on the wing. And I would probably prefer top of the key to anywhere.

Yep, not seeing it with either of these teams. Maybe if Miller breaks his leg 1 minute in.

Corner is a much harder shot for me, I was always best on the wing.

Corner is considered the easiest and best shot from 3. Loved it myself. It’s not just Avery that thinks that it’s pretty common knowledge. Coaches absolutely hate giving up the corner 3

What do you guys think of the decision to go for the quick 2 when down 3 with 12 seconds left (vs. holding for the last shot)?

I like that. Especially since they had A&M CC trapped in the corner. Had that ref let that call go.
