NCAA First Round Games Thread for Thurs Mar 19

Bye Ohio st

 

[MikeSU02]

Alright, let's go High Point!

 

[Cstate]

Dude needed to make one more pass up the court! What is he doing taking that heave?

Yeah that was horrible.

 

[Fly Rodder]

I'm so petty. Very happy Hodgson is getting worked.

Why? He didn't do anything wrong. He got caught up in Syracuse pettiness.

 

[obliterata]

yeah boy

No urgency on the dribble either. He was sorta jogging, then panicked.

It's irrational pettiness.

 

[MSOrange]

Can't believe that was the shot Ohio State had to settle for. Pathetic! The one time I should have picked Jamie Dixon in the tourney...

 

[Fly Rodder]

Enis is really struggling vs this level of competition. Much more than I expected honestly. Nelson is playing scared and timid as well.

1/17 from three vs. 7/17 from three.

USF had decent shots, didn't convert and they still kept to ten at the half. If Autry was coaching they would come out and be down 30 by the 12 minute mark. My guess is that they're going to hit some threes in the 2nd and get it close.

Meh they took a lot of rushed or contested 3s against a bigger team. Not a ton of higher pct looks at all. If not for some really dumb live ball turnovers by the Ville it might be a 15-20 point deficit.

A lot of these midmajors are about to come back down from the mountaintop they were on last week.

Troy is just getting housed by Nebraska

To Red’s credit, he usually waited until the 2nd half to go down big haha.

USF has missed some open looks, but they’ve had to work hard to get them. This isn’t the free-flowing offense I expected it to be.

I believe this will be Nebraska’s first win ever in the NCAA tournament. Ouch.

 

[Bayside44]

Don't hire whoever fitted Barkley for his suit.

 

[OrangeFoo]

Excited for Siena and duke

 

[Briancuse]

Excited for Siena and duke

Probably the only time I'm pulling for duke.

 

[Irishsecra1]

Nice little interview with Gerry on CBS.
Love the shout out to Gavin Doty as the best player on their team who does it all.
No hope given for them to win - as one announcer said - you cant expect Doty to do it all by himself.

 

[Franz69]

USF 1-17 from three in the first half. Woof.

 

[dasher]

What a joke

Probably the only time I'm pulling for duke.

?? Why? Why root against a team that is coached by guys who gave their all for the Cuse and the team is local? And they are playing against a corporate machine? I find that incredibly odd.,

 

[CuseCactus]

So, should I bet on GMAC at +28.5?

 

[Brooky03]

When did they start doing halftime interviews with players?

Just caught one with a USF player out of the corner of my eye. Seems weird

 

[LAorange44]

maybe we should schedule providence for the easy win

 

[Brooky03]

So, should I bet on GMAC at +28.5?

Assuming you’re outside NY, yeah, why not? If you’re in NY, you’re SOL.

 

[swish7]

USF / Ville - hard to bully a bully. Louisville looks bigger and doesn't panic, or lack scorers, like Wichita St and the like.

But, USF is within reach. Just needs to tighten up the D. They are allowing layups.

Ya wonder if all the Hodgson noise is affecting his player

Edit: USF is no longer within reach. Lol.

 

[pearl31]

usf doesn't really defend
