NCAA 1st Round Games for March 17

[Cuse181]

Welp, another year with the bracket down the drain… bad effort Cuse181…

 

[690West]

UConn and Calipari go down on Day one. Yeah..that’s a successful tourney

 

[bevosu]

Only one of those four schools is Jesuit.

The University of San Francisco is. They aren't on the list.

Worst all time was 1977 after the Syracuse Orangemen knocked off the Ernie and Bernie Show and having to go up against the green clad Cornbread Maxwell led UNCC Forty Niners on St. Patrick’s Day. As they say on Tipp Hill The Orange shall never be above The Green. At least on that day it was true.

[LeMoyneCuse]

The University of San Francisco is. They aren't on the list.

As a Le Moyne grad, you'd better believe I can name my fellow Jesuit schools.

 

[Dinkyspond]

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.

ND, Providence, St. Mary's, Creighton, Gonzaga, St. Peter's all won. The NCAAs are turning into the CYO Invitational. San Francisco could be the next Catholic school to win.

They all are. So is Loyola

CALligua

 

[jncuse]

15 minutes in (still early) but another historically elite program in tough right now -- UCLA down 3 vs Akron.
Might as well ask for them to lose tonight as well.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

They all are. So is Loyola

Providence is Dominican, Saint Mary’s is De La Salle, Notre Dame is Congregation of Holy Cross.

A man after my own heart.

 

[goofnoff]

That still hurts

I wanted everybody to share my pain. At least they still don't run that on a perpetual loop to promo the tourney. But that isn't the one that hurts the most. It's not even second. I don't want to make everyone suicidal. so I'll leave it at that.

NIT should be a season-opening MSG tourney of the top Catholic schools from the previous year, as a fund raiser for Catholic Charities.

I changed my mind - now cheering for Vermont.

 

[crv1728]

How do the refs not even review the last play in the UVM game? I thought it was a flagrant foul by Arkansas, at least worth a review.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Worst first day I’ve ever had in the tournament. Literally out of everything. But uconn lost. Thankfully. Without that… broken.

 

[Day2]

They should have reviewed the play. Didn’t look intentional until they showed the one angle on the replay.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

So Patrick Tape has resurfaced at San Fran and is currently working on his 3rd degree after Columbia and Duke. I think he can make the claim he’s gotten the most out of the Covid, grad transfer and new transfer rules

 

[kcsu]

Im sick of the phrase
Heat check

You'll have to tell the young 'uns what happened. But that's no more than 4th or 5th for me. Moton's timeout against Arkansas was worse for me. I loved that team. I was in therapy for a year and obviously it didn't help.

 

[Orangezoo]

Vermont is starting to look like a program that should level up conference wise.

 

[Trueblue25]

Arkansas gettin jobbed

 

[rhcuse]

I bet on Creighton at +2.5 over San Diego St.
The tournament has not went well for the MWC at all with teams going 0-3.

Won that one by a hair!
