NCAA 1st Round Games for March 17

[goofnoff]

Those St. Peter's players are true college players. UK and most of the P5 players are spoiled AAU all-stars. They've been coddled for most their lives. The college players that play for four years are really good by their fourth year. With proper coaching, they learn how to play the game and learn how to play with their teammates. That's what college basketball is about, in my opinion. These one and done teams are talented, but the experience levels the competition.

That's where I was going. You can have lesser talent and still win if you play right.

Dont mess with the Jesuits!

Creighton is also a Jesuit school.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

MWC shouldn't be allowed a 2nd team until they get a team in the Elite 8. Joke that Wake missed out vs any of those schools who beat no one all year.

 

[Orangello]

Dont mess with the Jesuits!

Marquette crapped the bed

 

[Fly Rodder]

Any NBA openings for Cal?

Knicks or Lakers maybe.

 

[Orangello]

Creighton is also a Jesuit school.

and the Zags

 

[OburgOrange]

Does anybody think he might be on the hot seat for this? Could he even get fired?

Waiting for the thread that Cal is our next HC.…

 

[OrangeDW]

I don’t think so. But I wonder if he’s interested in another try at the NBA.

I’ll take him here.

 

[kcsu]

Just read their board they are done with him. Big issue is he has a 60 million dollar buyout..

Cal is a bloated pig

 

[orangemass]

Patrick tape usf. Is that our tape?

 

[goofnoff]

San Diego State and UK proved once again that free throws really do matter.

If Derrick had hit the front end of that one and one Keith Smart wouldn't be an endless highlight vid.

 

[kcsu]

Creighton is also a Jesuit school.

No kidding

 

[orangemass]

Cal is a bloated pig

Antigua is even larger. Loves the buffets

 

[orangemass]

If Derrick had hit the front end of that one and one Keith Smart wouldn't be an endless highlight vid.

That still hurts

 

[OburgOrange]

I’ll take him here.

Boom!

 

[mscanlo]

Patrick tape usf. Is that our tape?

Yes. Must be like an 8th year senior by now

(I think it is his 6th year in reality)

 

[NC_Orange]

I don’t care what happens the rest of the tournament , if Connecticut and Kentucky both lose today that makes me a happy person

2/3 of the Axis of Evil have lost in the first round. Please Duke lose tomorrow too.

 

[bevosu]

No kidding

Just pointing out the omittance, and as was pointed out by Orangello, Gonzaga.

 

[jncuse]

One of Murray St, San Francisco or St. Peters will now be in the Sweet 16.

 

[kingtidge]

Hope Beihelm was watching and learns the trick.

Asleep by 9pm. Sorry.

 

[CuseTroop]

San Diego st ruined my parlay

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Our buddy Doug Gottlieb is saying the very same thing on Westwood One

I've officially changed my mind.

 

[orangemass]

2/3 of the Axis of Evil have lost in the first round. Please Duke lose tomorrow too.

Yes. I’d like that. We had Rutgers nd yesterday which was wish for a natural disaster.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Dont mess with the Jesuits!

Only one of those four schools is Jesuit.

 

[Lord Ashby]

Dont mess with the Jesuits!

You obviously know that Providence and ND are not Jesuits. But I have always wonder why they don't have a Jesuit pre-season tournament (rotate teams and the host city) as you could end up with some quality bb in some good cities when so many teams struggle to find quality opponents. Higgins tweet also left out St Gonzaga who died at 23 helping others during a pandemic. San Fran hanging tight and Loyola tomorrow.
