NCAA Tourney Round 1, Day 1 Thread

[Ghost]

What the hell was that? Your dream scenario is playing out, and you hand it back to UConn? Silly, Colorado.

Wilmington was one of the most foul prone teams in the country. I thought the refs were fine. The and-one by Thornton for example was a good call - Thorton contorted his body perfectly to prevent direct head-on contact.

I think the issue was they called it exactly the opposite way twice on the other end (twice that I saw).

I thought Baylor was a weak 5 seed and had Yale upsetting them in my bracket ... so far so good.

 

[djcon57]

Same..I'm perfect so far..need this Yale win

When will I learn...NEVER bet on Scott Drew.

When will I learn...NEVER bet on Scott Drew.

Note to Scott Drew, go inside. You only have about a twenty foot height advantage. Dope.

Where do they get these sideline idiots?

Asking Bennett (UVA coach) about his almost fainting thing:

Bennett: "I just bent down, and I think I was dehydrated, and I blacked out. I'm fine now."

Sideline Reported: "Do you know what happened?"

Seriously? He just answered that exact question.

My picks are going great except for these two little Connecticut schools.

Is it a good sign for a team when two senior teammates are fighting each other during a timeout of an NCAA basketball game?

I'm guessing not.

 

[Ghost]

Drew is such a bad coach.

 

[cuseattle]

Holy Moly! Yale up 10 at the 8 minute mark.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Yale more athletic than I thought. Their rotations on D are excellent.

 

[Orangello]

Fire Scott Drew. Keep the cheerleaders.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Yale more athletic than I thought. Their rotations on D are excellent.

But I thought white stiffs can't play m2m?

plus this is basically a road game for them in Providence

Good point. This board would be going crazy over that.

 

[kirbivore]

Vegas making some dough on this game. 67% of spread bets were on Baylor.

The woman in my office bracket that had Austin Peay in the championship game is starting to get a little worried.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Not really. Basically an inch over the Yale frontline position by position. Sears and Reynolds plays bigger than their size also. Baylor has better athletes but Yale plays good position D and they rebound. In general I'm impressed with the Yale athleticism.

Maybe she's a freak and thought it said Austin's Peepee

 

[skurey]

Yale Duke is going to be the worst reffing experience ever

 

[NineOneSeven]

Yale killing themselves here but clinging to the lead

 

[cuseattle]

That oughta do it.
