NCAA 2nd Round Games for Sun March 23

[Ghost]

It's a crazy strategy, but Illinois should consider NOT passing the ball directly to UK quite so often.

the storz cover streak is still alive. 14 straight tourney covers.

Only one stat matters to me today. 1 straight loss straight up

 

[NineOneSeven]

We review a million things and then an obvious elbow to the face we don’t? Very logical stuff.

 

[kirbivore]

Kevin Willard is the new Rick Barnes

 

[Jeremy L.]

Not anything tied to any game, but I hope college implements the continuation rule in their game

Why didn’t the player or dummy Willard protest

 

[NineOneSeven]

Also here’s another massive pet peeve about college ball— clock not stopping on made baskets under a min left first half. It’s a joke.

They have an alternate official that didn’t review that? Just sleeping courtside?

Silly as hell. That was obviously a flagrant.

The clock does stop under a minute.

 

[JustPherU]

The clock does stop under a minute.

Yeah I thought he must have meant he doesn’t like that it stops.

 

[NineOneSeven]

First half I meant.

 

[jncuse]

As I have said before, nothing captures the 2025 College Basketball landscape more than a Sweet 16 with only SEC+BIG+B12+Duke

Only thing that can stop it now is two MWC schools.
Can Colorado St hold on and beat Maryland?

 

[JustPherU]

First half I meant.

What’s the big significance of it not stopping in the 1st half?

 

[djcon57]

Colorado State can get guys.

New Mexico can get guys.

I’ve got an idea that will probably go over like a turd in a punch bowl but here it is.
Eligibility for the NCAA tournament requires that you are either a true Freshman or you have been at your present school for more than a year.Transfer all you want, but to compete for a championship you must meet those requirements.I think you would see a lot less movement.

sounds good.

“We’ll go start our own tournament” - SEC and BIG 10

Players just let the ball roll around after a make and allow themselves last shot vs a 2 for 1.

 

[phil77]

Which SEC will Dent be on next year or will he go to the NBA?

 

[JustPherU]

Yeah I guess that happens occasionally but the ref should start the 5 second count if they aren’t going to pick the ball up.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Great shot but you can’t let them get a wide open 3. That should be pretty obvious.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Maryland had a foul to give. Not smart coaching by Willard. They should have fouled him before he threw the pass.

 

[hoopsupstate]

What a shot.

They were only up 2, not 3.
Fouling up 2, would be pretty crazy strategy.

EDIT - Missed the "foul to give" part. I had read that you should foul (foul to avoid the 3), but you were talking about something entirely different.
