NCAA 2nd Round Games for March 19

[bpo57]

There seems to be a narrative out there that Manek's DQ was unfair. What Manek did was the textbook definition of a flagrant 2 foul in college hoops. He earned it.

Yep

I love the pace of this TN-MI game. These guys are really going after it.

 

[Bulldog04]

I would kill to have Kennedy Chandler on SU. Such a tough miss. His speed is incredible

 

[PhatOrange]

Are you saying that Manek shouldn't have been ejected? I thought that was obvious.

He should have been ejected based on the rule, absolutely.

The foul calls after he left over the final 10 minutes was 14 UNC to 5 Baylor. But it was the non-calls that allowed Baylor to back in the game

Baylor was playing a helter skelter press and bludgeoning anyone with the ball and there were no calls. You can’t run into somebody knocking him out of bounds for a turnover and not have it be a foul, but that’s what was happening. The blatantly physical play and no calls was the reason for the implosion (and during the same span there were some ticky tacts called against Carolina that didn’t make sense considering Baylor’s physical play.)

People who can’t see this or won’t admit it just have an ax to grind because they don’t like Carolina.

No matter they won and they deserved to. Lfg ACC

I didn't think the DQ was unfair. That was a dumb jock move. I thought the refs got caught up in the comeback momentum and let Baylor get away with muggings.

I didn't say anything about the reffing after the ejection. There was a reason for that. I turned the game off and turned it back on later and was shocked at the score. I was also rooting for Carolina. Something about Baylor I just don't like.

Nice job by Michigan to end the half with 4 consecutive possessions ending in a turnover .. can’t even get a shot off

[realorange]

Go ahead Michigan. Put me out of my misery. And to think I led this morning. LOL

 

[bpo57]

That Chandler dude can play.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Mintz could be another Chandler. Their guards are terrific.

 

[kcsu]

Did Howard Graduate?

 

[NineOneSeven]

Dickinson having a game, definitely getting chippy though.

 

[bpo57]

All Providence does is win. KenPom be damned.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Vols might be done

 

[GoSU96]

Best game I’ve seen in a long time

 

[jncuse]

What a tip and basket (and foul) by Fulkerson.
Probably too little to late however.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Meeshigan

 

[Cuseball]

Rick Barnes is like able but has a lot of trouble in the tournament. Amazing Tennessee has never been to the final four

 

[jncuse]

Ken Pom...and Vegas who generally are step in step with their rankings within a few points.
Neither liked them ... they have been giving Providence some crazy lines in both games. I have made some money with them, and it sounds like you have as well.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Tough loss by Tennessee. They were looking solid up 60-54.

Howard slapped the face of another coach and got 5 games.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Rick Barnes underachieving? Shocked

 

[jncuse]

Unfortunate to say, but Michigan is a program that has become really good in the tournament.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Go Nova !
