NCAA 1st Round Games for March 18

[Dinkyspond]

Just realized this game has our 2 favorite coaches, Willard and Dixon. Too bad somebody's gotta win.

 

[UpstateSM]

If the timeline worked out for Langel to go win at an A10 school for a couple years then come here I would be all for it

 

[cuseattle]

go 'Gate

Good start!

 

[Dinkyspond]

Hall bad body language going to lockerroom

 

[Fly Rodder]

Colgate is going to make me stay up for this game aren’t they?

Not sure if they did it on purpose but great heads up play by TCU to run the clock while inbounding/rolling it. Seton Hall scored with 50 seconds left and TCU was able to run off almost all 50 seconds in one possession due to taking advantage of the running clock.

I can’t remember a basketball event with more people slipping on the surface.

What I've learned the last 2 days is the variation in announcers. Raf is king. Some shouldn't have jobs.

Eagle/Spanarkel hands down the best duo.

How did Colgate score 100 against us?

Lol just about to say that. 2-3 is antiquated?

I watch quite a bit of SH because my nephew is a JR there and he’s nowhere near the player he was for us. They don’t have the shooting there that we had around him last year and would have had this year. It was a lose/lose for both sides.

Kadary’s shooting was always a well known weakness, his greatest assets have been his great driving ability, ball handling and defensive possibilities. JB was willing to teach him the pg position and was developing his shot to maximize both SU‘s and his future. Seton Hall has a 4 star NYC pure pg recruit coming in next year, Jaquan Sanders, and current Seton Hall player, Jamir Harris’s younger brother, Jaquan Harris, also a guard is coming too. Should be interesting for Kadary and Seton Hall. Bryce Aiken had both the ability to shoot and drive but his concussion sounds like it’s the end of his career.

That’s an NCAA violation for too many Jaquans on a roster.

What does define a good conference then other than just personal opinion?

Saying the ACC had a bad year is not personal opinion. Even if the ACC plays well this tournament it does not change the conclusion. It does mitigate some of the badness, that I agree with.

Let's compare to the Big East.who isn't doing as well in the tournament.

The Big East an 11 team league had 11 Out of Conference Wins over Top 12 seeds, and 2 others over the first 4 out (13 total). The ACC a 15 team league only had 6. That's a big difference (1.2 per team vs 0.4 per team)

The Big East had 4 bad out of conference losses (q3+q4 losses). The ACC had 17 of them!!! 17 vs 4. (1.1 per team vs 0.3 per team)

It was a really bad year for the ACC. It deserved its low seeds, and the tournament won't change that conclusion. It could certainly reduce how bad the conference is viewed in the end.

 

[UpstateSM]

Wisconsin playing in Milwaukee and don’t get called for a foul until the three minute mark give me a break lmao

 

[kcsu]

Colgate coach. Keep an eye on this guy

 

[Cusefan0307]

Jamie Dixon has done a great job. TCU is much more prepared than the Pirates.

 

[Cheriehoop]

Go Colgate!

Did wonders for the Pac last year.

Didn't Wisconsin play Cornell in a recent NCAA Tournament?

Before posting I decided to google myself.
Seems like they last played in 2010 and Cornell pulled off the upset (12 vs 4)
For some reason I though they had played more recently than that,

Was that the year Cornell gave UK a game in the Sweet 16 at the dome?

It did. But then the PAC sort of went back into its hole this year.

As a general rule the regular season is more predictable of where you are and where you may be headed (especially for teams) Of course those tournament games are about 100 times more important than a regular season game!

 

[Melancer46]

Kadary has gotten his big man called for 2 or 3 illegal screens already. He’s been weirdly in a rush in this game

UK won by 17, but perhaps it was them blowing them away at the end?
Don't remember the game much, I had forgot their run until now. And didn't think it was already 12 years ago.
