NCAA 1st Round Games for Thurs March 16

[dasher]

He had to get the ball over the half court line so he chucked it. Played right into the trap.

He could have called time out

 

[UpstateSM]

Definite cakewalk to the elite 8, on paper.

As much as I hate it, I’ve got them over Texas in the final.

And then an injured Arizona or Baylor who plays no defense or underperforming Creighton in the Elite 8.

Lame

 

[UpstateSM]

I think Arkansas beats Kansas Saturday

 

[MSOrange]

The Mighty Ivy Leaguers only down by 1 to Arizona at the half.

 

[Marty McFly]

honestly had multiple opportunities to take a lead into the break, gotta take advantage of those for an upset to happen... think Arizona runs away in the second half.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Surprised Illinois looks so bad that Arkansas team is young Illinois is 4-5 years older at every position.

 

[Orangezoo]

I hope we’re not supposed to root for our ACC conference mates. I know I’m not, and the way UVa lost is absolutely hilarious.

Clark has had quite the charmed 5 year career. Don't feel bad for a second he had to have things end like that.

Might be right. This was the easiest 8-9 game for me to pick.

 

[Orangezoo]

COC v SDS is entertaining but just bad basketball ...

 

[UpstateSM]

Might be right. This was the easiest 8-9 game for me to pick.

WVU-Maryland was mine.

But I picked WVU

Are Alabama fans really booing a call up by 22 with 1:47 left?

 

[Marty McFly]

Refs are just flat out bad in a lot of these games. embarrassing.

 

[adk(roc)CUSE]

Have an appointment in Montreal at 3:00 tomorrow afternoon (70 minute drive) -- set it up last week, thinking I wouldn't be as big into the NCAA tournament tournament this year.

Now that tourney has started, already regret not pushing it into next week.

Kinda have a similar situation. It took me about 10 minutes into the West Virginia/Maryland game to realize What was i thinking. This is the NCAAT and its the best thing in the world.

 

[UpstateSM]

I hate Pat Kelsey

 

[UpstateSM]

That’s a horse chit call on Charleston

What they deserve is an early exit.

 

[Dinkyspond]

over-refereeing again, nothing blatant there, swallow the whistle, ref is a jackwagon

 

[Marty McFly]

should have been reviewable, right?

 

[JDubbin]

That set play from College of Charleston before the TO was one of the most beautiful set plays I’ve seen in a while. Great X’s & O’s

 

[UpstateSM]

CALL THE JUMP BALL SOME OF US HAVE +4.5

 

[jncuse]

**** off Refs.
Charleston gets hammered and no call.
Then they call one against Charleston with 0.3 seconds left.

But with the spread at 5.5, this matters a hell of a lot.
Bozos just cost me money.

Disagree. He did get quite a bit of his elbow and arm. I don't understand why the announcers and Steratore are ignoring that fact. They're usually more lenient late in the game though so possibly they could've let it slide but there was definitely a decent amount of contact. They missed some fouls on SDSU though.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

San Diego St -5.5

 

[jncuse]

Way to go Refs - I won't be able to eat for the next 2 weeks because of you.

 

[Orangezoo]

All eyes on Princeton Zona now. Rest of early games pretty uneventful other than the UVA game.
