NCAA 1st Round Games for Thurs March 21

[Madbiker]

Break time from these so far unexciting games.

Question: How much would the field need to be expanded before Cuse could get in?
Remember the days we all used to be against expanding the field?

 

[Fly Rodder]

32% doesn't really get it done at the shooting guard position.

We had a three year starter average about that over his college career (well including his freshman year which was not good at all). His other three years were OK.

I'm still very much opposed to it. We just need to get better.

Who are you referring to?

 

[two3zone]

Who are you referring to?

I’m guessing Cooney.

 

[Fly Rodder]

Who are you referring to?

I didn't want to name him, but his 4 year average from three was 33.7%.

 

[blust2i3d4]

The double MSU game has to have the oldest combined rosters I’ve ever seen, may be older than some nba teams ha

I want to see MSU vs MSU, Duke vs Dukes and USC vs USC.

 

[Nicknack]

I didn't want to name him, but his 4 year average from three was 33.7%.

Trevor was a mixed bag from 3 though.

Year 1: 26.7%
Year 2: 37.5%
Year 3: 30.9%
Year 4: 35.4%

It also depends on who else you have on the team who can put down a 3. When you have a team like we did last year with our SG shooting 32% and our PG shooting 28%, it's tough sledding. That's why we were so reliant on Bell being on the court, despite his defensive issues.

 

[two3zone]

That guy on Illinois is a tank huh?

 

[Nicknack]

I’m guessing Cooney.

If you came up with that guess from the top of your head, well done!

The defense makes that 32% unplayable, 32% with defense and other skills, can look past a bit.

Easy, 4 years with that low of a percentage that actually played minutes for 4 years doesn’t leave a lot of other guys, especially in the era where threes matter more. Knew he wasn’t going to pull some 80s stats because they’re not comparable. Was thinking Triche but he also played a lot of point guard so wasn’t sure if he’d be included and thought he shot a tad higher. Was left with Cooney.

 

[Sherman20]

We rocked Oregon back in December and they go on went on to win the Pac 12 tourney and now they’re beating South Carolina.

Wagner is going to finish with like 3 players.

hey crooked zebras UNC doesn't need the help

SU beat an incomplete Oregon team. All their guys are back now.

 

[MSOrange]

Not surprised Illinois is pulling away. They looked really good to end the year

Lot of parity

Think they were down 4 rotation guys.

 

[CousCuse]

Think they were down 4 rotation guys.

Dante, their big man was out. he is very good.

 

[UpstateSM]

Just dropped a bomb on Sparty +4 Saturday

 

[hoopsupstate]

I just want to see Quincy at the free throw line. He's probably the only guy who left that I still pull for. I was sad to see him go. I just took a quick glance at his stats this year. I was shocked... he's shooting nearly 39% from 3 this year!?!?! And people mocked him for wanting to expand his game and get more chances shooting deep. Ha.

He’s bricked a lot of them in the last 3-4 games I’ve watched. His strength is still playing inside.

 

[UpstateSM]

As boring of an opening window of the tourney as you could possibly have. The only close game wasn't even really close.

 

[PoppyHart]

Shocked seeing Dayton struggle

 

[CardiacCuse]

Lot of parity

surprised people cannot see how much parity there is across the sport
