NCAA 2nd Round Games for March 19

[goofnoff]

Yeah, felt dirty rooting for UNC didn’t it?

March makes strange bedfellows.

Not at all. After all the disrespect the ACC got all season, I am loving their (our) run in the tournament. I'm rooting for all of them.

Kaluma would have been so good here

 

[Orangezoo]

UNC, inability to break a press aside (w/out Manek), looks like a legitimate title contender.

They remind me of us back in 2016 except with a legit low post presence.

 

[Orangezoo]

Yup- and a kid we would usually always get.

I missed everything after a minute left in the game. Glad to see the officials didn’t end up winning the game for Baylor

 

[Orangezoo]

All this Remy Martin talk- time for a drink..

really, the opposite

 

[Orangezoo]

Yeah UNC had a really favorable whistle for quite a while and again late.

 

[Orangezoo]

Kaluma reminds me a lot of Oshae

 

[Orangezoo]

1 seeds so far not impressive at all.

Hey we got some mention in the commercial promo for Ghosts..

 

[Orangezoo]

Lilly is lame

 

[JoeSU]

I agree. Even "TV Official" Gene Serratore mentioned the game was getting out of hand.
Wasn't it just a couple of years ago when hand checking was going to be a point of emphasis?

They’ve got to reign in the “they can’t call everything so let’s foul on every play” teams.

UNC was in the bonus 5 minutes into the second half, but once Baylor got desperate, they just stopped calling fouls on them. They refused to call fouls on their guys with 4 fouls. Not good. Just call it as it is. If everybody fouls out on the whole team, oh well. Stop fouling.

Yeah it was a complete disaster.

Still trying to understand how the ACC was disrespected this year. The league earned its tournament fate (i.e. bids and seeds) with its performance vs other leagues. They were lucky to get 5 teams instead of 4.

They are however earning respect now.

Yeah the ACC performed poorly all year vs other conferences. Not really any other measurement and thus it was completely self inflicted.

 

[PhatOrange]

That’s great then because Carolina deserved it after the refs erase the 30 point lead

A couple teams are playing well, but everybody else stunk.

That’s the way I see it.

 

[jncuse]

Has there ever been a day where two #1 seeds go down in the round of 32?

I know the 1vs.8/9 upset has become much more common in the last 10 years or so, but there are often duds in that line as well.

Good to see two competitive games back to back... although the Baylor-UNC was a different type of competitive in a good and bad way.

It was bad but bringing the ball low every time you catch it vs the press wasn't the the refs doing.

The “they can’t call everything so let’s foul on every play” is so reminiscent of Georgetown teams of the eighties. I HATED them!

Them and Pitino’s Louisville teams whenever they were losing are two that stand out as being able to get away with that strategy pretty often, for whatever reason.
