NCAA 1st Round Games for March 17

[jncuse]

Canadian freshman Caleb Houstan is stepping up for Michigan.
Been a bit of a tough year for him --- he was considered a lotto prospect before the year started and he is not near that right now.

Slow down kid, we need Michigan to lose this one (or at least win by 2 or loss)

Never put Rex Chapman anywhere near the NCAA Tournament again

Not only is he terrible at being an on-air personality, it also seems that the backlash to him is pretty universal. I’m hoping CBS takes notice and quietly removes him after this weekend.

Providence looks pretty good.

He just signed a long term deal with Turner. He's got a show coming up on CNN+.

I doubt he gets removed.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Hopefully we use Jesse next year like Michigan uses Dickinson. It will require Jesse to get a lot stronger.

He makes a lot of sense for CNN. Not so much on a halftime panel for March Madness.

Providence looks pretty good.

Doing a great job of establishing their pace on offense after being sped up on D.

 

[Orangezoo]

Slow start in terms of excitement to the day.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I miss the days as a fan being upset with Seth Davis because he would predict us as the upset of the weekend.

 

[BlackSquirrels]

Providence just ran a nice play featuring a double screen away from the ball to get Watson an open layup at the front of the rim. Can't remember seeing Cuse run a play like that in forever.

 

[Orangezoo]

So MWC looking like they will flounder again so far this year. No wins since 2018 in tourney.

Makes sense that they got 4 teams.

BTW how the heck was CSU ranked at all this year? OOC they beat Saint Marys and Creighton. Big deal.

Jackrabbits need one stop

Fouling a 3 point shooter won't get it done.

 

[UpstateSM]

Wow you can’t fall asleep like that one defense in that situation. Bad basketball Jackbunnies

 

[UpstateSM]

I might not win a bet all weekend. Wyoming, Bryant, Notre Dame/RU under, Colorado St, Boise state so far hahahaha

That foul seemed obvious to me. Not sure what they were debating.

Good offensive team but D isn't their gig.

I did not think Providence would dominate the pace like they have. Really impressive stuff, Cooley is awesome.

Yeah I've watched them quite a bit. Big East has played them tough but their style makes them a tough out in the tourney. Biggest issue ends up as shot selection with them.

Toughest match-up a favored seed has had so far.

 

[Marty McFly]

ehhh the PC guy flopped on that 3 point foul. Ref should have swallowed the whistle in the situation... that was the one stop they needed.

Bynum kicked his leg out to draw the contact big time. Should have been an offensive foul.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

It's weird that I don't see the bracket challenges updating yet on CBS or ESPN. I don't remember this kind of delay in the past.

 

[Cheriehoop]

I thought he hit Bynum up high on Bynum’s right side.
