NCAA 1st Round Games for Saturday March 20

[Orangezoo]

The block/charge call continues to be butchered, the most obvious charge I’ve seen by texas called a block. Whatever

Same as that awful call on Marek.

I agree with u generally but in that instance it was very close to the hoop and the defender may have been in the circle. Not totally sure.

 

[Orangezoo]

Have to wonder if ACU pulls the upset how hot is Shaka's seat? He hasn't made it out of the first round since being there and results have been mixed. Arguably the most talent he has had this year too.

 

[UpstateSM]

I bet the Mormons to make the sweet 16 because I thought Texas stunk and could lose to ACU if they turned the ball over a million times and now gd wiener head Cronin is going to go on a run instead

He was but TX initiated the contact and there was no need to do so. If anything it's at least a no call.

 

[Orangezoo]

This ACU team reminds me of that SFA team that upset WV a little ways back.

Agreed i would have favored a no call over a block or charge.

Wasn‘t Underwood the coach of that team?

i watched for that, he was out

 

[bpo57]

AC forces on average 20 TOs a game. That is crazy.

 

[Orangezoo]

It was - his last year there.

My biggest problem with the block/charge is all of the flopping that goes on. That said, it is remarkable how many times players run headlong out of control into a defender in the lane. The art of the pullup jumper from 8-10 feet out is totally lost.

These littles from Abilene have heart

These drives by ACU are wild. Amazing how many tough ones they have gotten to drop.

 

[kirbivore]

Back in the day was it a thing to neglect a half court heave at the buzzer cuz it would hurt your three point shooting stats? Just askin' cuz I must have seen that at least a half dozen times this year including Kispert a few min ago. Ah the modern athlete. Get off my friggin' lawn!

Our own Joe G has done this multiple times

 

[UpstateSM]

This ACU team reminds me of that SFA team that upset WV a little ways back.

That team was a 14 seed and was favored over 6 seed ND in the second round. Crazy haha

 

[kirbivore]

Well horns if you ain’t gonna cover then freaking lose

 

[djcon57]

lol wut? how is that a jump?

 

[Orangezoo]

TX execution on offense is putrid.

 

[skurey]

Shaka finally turns the ship around and immediately blows it

 

[kirbivore]

TX execution on offense is putrid.

Texas makes storz look good

 

[cuseattle]

lol wut? how is that a jump?

Clearly calling for the t.o.

 

[djcon57]

This team is built like the old Nintendo ice hockey game. A bunch of random fats, littles, and skinnies

 

[Cusefan0307]

Lots of putrid offense in these late games today.

 

[UpstateSM]

Abilene, Stephen F Austin, and a couple other schools are going from the Southland to the WAC next season. Between them, New Mexico St, and Grand Canyon it'll be the best true mid-major league in the country. Might push for at-large bids every now and then.

Something to keep an eye on if you're a junkie like me
