NCAA 1st Round Games for Thurs March 21

[adk(roc)CUSE]

Yeah, app on TV. iPad it works fine. Wonder why it doesn’t work on the TV. Seems dumb.

My bad, shoulda mentioned I was "working" and watching on my phone.

Nah you’re good, I thought I was going a little crazy ha.

And with that the falling apart of the East Region around UConn begins. Not that BYU is that great compared to Duquesne, nor will either compete, but you just know the East will be the region with all the upsets.

Duquesne doesn’t seem very talented, but their players are always moving and always seemingly in the right spot.

BYU beat Iowa State this year, and was in the top 25 for a large portion this season... just played turrable.

Less complex offenses and systems, college basketball is in a world of hurt. I don’t know how they’ll fix it.

There was a Durant/JJ pod awhile back where they were openly mocking the offense schemes in college bball as being archaic

Stormin' Mormons going to the Elite 8

I won't be winning every bet this weekend

 

[two3zone]

They’ve really turned it around since Hima left

Hope that wasn’t a high money bracket pick.

 

[jncuse]

5 of the 120 brackets in the Syracuse Fan group remain perfect.
66 of the 120 are 0-2 (including me).

The disdain for the Big 10 and Michigan didn't pay off.

Wagner is going to finish with like 3 players.

I don't even bother with brackets more than $5-10. Just a waste of money haha

 

[two3zone]

Wonder what Bacot got paid for that spot. Talking about covid panning out for you.

 

[Orangezoo]

Looking forward to the NBA playoffs and Cuse portal news. This is barely entertaining to watch outside the Duquesne game which still was meh.

I used to run a pool each year where before the tourney started, we would hold a "draft" where we would pick 6 players and then keep track of how many points they scored in the tournament.

Harder than it seems, as you have to make sure you don't have players from teams potentially meeting early in the tournament, and also trying to decide whether to take the high-scoring playing from a middling-seeded team vs. the guy scoring 6-10 PPG on a 1 or 2 seed.

Lots of fun. Haven't done it in years.


Maybe I'll try it on the board next year.

Counts as 9 credits

 

[UpstateSM]

Refs refuse to call a foul on Illinois. Probably scared of what Shannon might do when they aren't looking.

 

[two3zone]

I think we were more exited about JJ than UNC was about Cormac Ryan.

 

[UpstateSM]

Holy chit Shannon gets a ridiculous whistle

 

[Cheriehoop]

I think we were more exited about JJ than UNC was about Cormac Ryan.

Well he’s shooting 64.7% the past 3 games from 3, bringing his average up to 34.2% for the year from a very anemic 31.25% just 3 games ago.

So right around what JJ shot?

 

[Nicknack]

Yeah, it was disappointing to see JJ regress on his 3pt shooting after he got it going. 32% doesn't really get it done at the shooting guard position.

 

[DilemaCuse]

Can Morehead keep pace?

 

[Nicknack]

I just want to see Quincy at the free throw line. He's probably the only guy who left that I still pull for. I was sad to see him go. I just took a quick glance at his stats this year. I was shocked... he's shooting nearly 39% from 3 this year!?!?! And people mocked him for wanting to expand his game and get more chances shooting deep. Ha.
