NCAA 1st Round Games for Thurs March 21

Burns’s Dad appears to be 4 bills

Something about putting bills after a number does something for me. Absolutely part of my repertoire.

What are the chances Cal takes a lower buyout amount just to get out of Kentucky and get a fresh start somewhere else?

He holds every card, no way.

 

[two3zone]

How fast before we found out someone at this nilly thing is skimming off the top? I’m guessing within 18 months.

 

[PoppyHart]

St. Peter’s looked up, didn’t see Matt Painter and thought, “oh schlitsnacks”!

 

[pfister1]

Anyone want to correct the announcer? It’s “ACC” not “AC”.

C’mon give him a break he’s hot…….

 

[two3zone]

The coach of tech looks like the grown up version of the kid that was allergic to everything back in grade school.

NC State has gotten really good.

They just ran a fast break I was officially jealous of

 

[Sherman20]

Big 12 overrated too.

 

[llandz]

I kind of like Burns, but he gets away with so much physical stuff. He is like a mack truck pushing the players until he gets to the basket.

Always liked DJ Burns but that Middlebrook(?) kid has really improved probably battling Burns in practice every day.

He’s skilled, great footwork, good with both hands, great spin moves and he’s an excellent passer. I like his temperament too for such a big guy. Big guys like him aren’t NBA players anymore - maybe 20-25 years ago he’d get a look not now,

Diarra is a very good player who’s underrated. NCSt should have had a better record than they did.

Never understand how offensive players get away with so much contact

Take a charge then. Should be easy enough if he’s playing bull charge ball….

But think you guys are underestimating what he’s doing. That spin move is causing fits

What bothers me is that defensive players need to flop when they are being repeatedly hit. Just call the fouls.

They don’t have position. The defender is on his heels due to the spin move

Fair

 

[Sherman20]

NC State has gotten really good.

NC State lost 4 straight games to end the regular season, lost 5 of their last 6, and 7 of their last 9. And now they’ve rolled off 6 straight wins. It’s insane.

And I bet on them tonight. I rarely bet. But this was too good to pass up

 

[djcon57]

Drake had that way too many people picking them vibe

There was no way they weren't going a round or 2 in the tournament after that ACC performance.

 

[llandz]

Wait a minute...What is Samford doing? All of a sudden they are catching up to Kansas.

 

[syrBossHogg]

How do we feel losing to NC State now? They're on fire

 

[llandz]

ps...I want that ice cream they were showing...That looks really good.

I mean, I want to puke. Especially since they were so terrible at the end of the regular season. Like awful. But I'm rooting for the ACC teams to prove that the conference was underrated all season—except for Virginia, which just plays an ugly brand of basketball and is especially inept on offense this season.
