NCAA 2nd Round Games for March 20

[MikeSU02]

These other two games are gross basketball.

 

[Ghost]

Subtle grab on the pass, clear push off by Moore but Mich St called for it.

I know - that was an odd call. The first touch was a bit of a lean in by Moore to initiate contact, which might be 50/50, but then he just clears him out. Odd.

Can’t wait to see crying Duke fans

 

[orange7]

Disappointed in MSU. Izzo is overrated.

 

[jncuse]

Izzo chokes in March.

Not sure that is fair.
He hasn't won the title since 2000, but he has significant tournament success despite that

Yeah you could argue, that like us, he has had some bad luck with his better teams not getting it done.

Coach K gets his 1200 wins. Boehelm needs to keep coaching until age of 95 to break that record.

 

[jncuse]

Coach K now has 99 coaching wins in the NCAA tournament. That would be a nice number to end his career at.

While I don't mind the ACC doing well (Except for Duke), I think its crucial that Texas Tech beats Notre Dame tonight. I think they have a much better shot of frustrating Duke than Notre Dame.

Texas Tech, basically a team full of transfers too.

 

[Cheriehoop]

Hauser taking that ill-advised inside shot and getting stuffed by Banchero was the turning point. MSU had lead and momentum. That selfish shot, the block and Duke's basket at the other end tiurned it around. Terrible decision by Hauser to think he could get a shot off when Banchero had him smothered.

Yup he had been abused by Banchero the last 3 minutes and wanted revenge - emotion not brains there.

I don't get the constant anti-Duke, anti-Coach K animosity here. He has been a true friend of JB, honoring him as his top assistant on three US Olympic teams and always supporting him during such things as the Bernie Fine fiasco and the NCAA's outrageous action in 2015. We need the ACC to do well in the tournament ... not just for the prestige, but also for the very significant money we earn from each win by a conference member.

MSU was a better team than he'll see in the Sweet 16.

It's not logic. For years the guy has had the best recruiting class in the country and media hypes him as a genius.

Not with Izzo coaching them. The guy flames out too much. Think duke would have had more problems with Davidson than MSU.

Disappointed in MSU. Izzo is overrated.

He doesn’t have the players this year, certainly has deserved the high regard.

There's a lot of people on this board who consistently root against the ACC. I don't get it either.

Part of it is their ridiculous "Uh oh, Duke is losing. The officials can expect a call from the league office." rants. For some, it's kind of a joke. For others, I'm not so sure.

I think it has to do with the several reports of “recruiting violations” from K and the dukies. They are widespread.

 

[crv1728]

Izzo chokes in March.

52-21 in the tournament. 8 final fours. 1 championship. Yeah, he’s a choker!

Corey Maggette says what?

 

[orangenauburn]

Corey Maggette says what?

Trajan Langdon says hello!

 

[crv1728]

Trajan Langdon says hello!

Zion says hi also! Kansas was offering him big bucks (on FBI recordings)but he went to Duke without compensation! Sure he did!

 

[jncuse]

Looks like the Big Ten is about to go 0-4.

Who's Texas Tech's best big guy? Guaranteed that dude gets 2 fouls before the under 16:00 media timeout.

Because he's pure evil.

Honestly, if Purdue can't get to the Final Four this year with both the 1 and 2 seeds bounced from their bracket, I don't know when it will ever happen for them. It will never be easier.
