Big 10 overrated?

 

[SWC75]

Bye Bye Little 10.

And Barkley said that "St. Peter's isn't going to grow at halftime!

 

[hoopsupstate]

Purdue went to their bigs too much and they can’t finish at s high level. It didn’t seem Ivy was even on the floor tonight.

If St Peters wins the National Championship Holloway has to stick around another year or two and can then come to us to replace JB right?

He’s going to Seton Hall in a few weeks, no matter what.

Only 1 team from the B1G and the BigEast past the 16 after all of those bids. 2 crooked conferences in cahoots!

 

[Eric15]

I’m sure this has been mentioned before but today is “National Peacock Day.” I guess that’s a thing.

I have literally no idea what's a foul anymore. I used to feel that way with the charge call, but now inside, they've espoused the principal of verticality, but seldom call it that way in a game, especially in favor of the underdog. Hand checks are allowed if you're playing man defense, but not zone.

The amount of calls that go to favorites in almost every game sucks the fun out of it. So many games are decided by the zebras.

Well HOW ABOUT THAT! Very happy to be wrong. And that was certainly an entertaining game. I think I might even watch Carolina vs. UCLA now.

Peacocks win on National Peacock Day!

Mike Hopkins was going to USC no matter what until Dunk City won a few games.

Yes - may hurt a few spots at most, but at the end it was one game.
Players get scouted more heavily during conference season and he delivered then.
Hard to plan / scout players in the tournament.

 

[Briancuse]

I think UCLA is the far better team but if UNC somehow wins tonight's game St Peters is going to beat them and make the Final Four!

A little part of me would think it would be hilarious if UNC got to the final four and ended coach KS run.

If Shaheen Holloway wins the national title, he will have his pick of elite schools and it will be very tough for us to win such a battle.

Cmon that’s a travel….

He traveled twice on that play, got away with it, scored and was given the foul shot. At that point, I felt like what I said about the calls in the 1st half was going to come true.

I have to admit, St. Peters did get lucky with that save the out of bounds call, but the rule shouldn't call that possession anyway, unless you have actual possession on the court, not jumping through the air. That's not "possession". Still, great upset. Loved it!

 

[texascpa]

Saint Peters may have the best trio of guards in the tourney, if not the nation. Always under control, rarely turn it over, all excellent free-throw shooters, two can penetrate and know how to play in the paint. Very impressed with all three the whole tourney.

 

[DilemaCuse]

Initially I was cheering for Purdue because I had got them early in the year to win the title for about $550.

But I did hedge a modest $20 bet on St.Peters at +650 before the game. Watching Purdue there is zero chance they win the title, and I will never get a hedge that pays as good as this one due to the elevated odds. So I began cheering for St. Peters with about 10 minutes left for reasons of liking the team, wanting drama, hating the BIG and now for money as well.

They are not a good team (Purdue)

I forgot to do something similar

 

[Red Holzman]

Feel sorry for posters here who missed this b/c SU didn't make the show so weren't going to watch.

 

[orange79]

Awful possession there by Providence.

Maybe pass the ball?

 

[Melancer46]

I am shocked St Pete didn’t foul. That is playing with fire.

The commentators were saying matter of factly earlier that their coach won’t foul when up 3. I don’t get it either.

 

[Cusefan0307]

If the screener pushes the defender into a shooter it should not be a foul on the defender.

 

[BuffOrange]

It was awful strategy. I get Purdue has size on a free throw miss but that look was completely makeable. Like way way make able.

Worse than not fouling is defending the post below the arc.
