NCAA Tournament Friday 1st Round Game Thread

[johnmd20]

Worst part of those delays was that the UNC and Cincy games were close until the last couple of minutes. Now, they're both double digit leads, so we probably missed the good action in those games while sitting around waiting for reviews.

NC is at half but Cinncy definitely. Missed the whole thing (it was on the side TV, but I wasn't focusing on it) and now it's over.

Like seeing Elmore with the green #33 on his back.

UNC went on a 12-2 run going into the half to take the 9 point lead. Lipscomb was giving them a little fight for 18 minutes or so. Hopefully, they can get hot again coming out of the break, but it's doubtful. UNC was starting to turn on the jets on offense.

I wasn't disagreeing, I had that game on too. But I don't mind missing parts of the action if it's before the half. But I missed the entirety of the Cinncy drama because of Reviewitis.

 

[johnmd20]

Butler was up 21-2 and it's 27-21 now. Damn.

 

[DJnVa]

Isn't this like the 5th year in a row that a CUSA team has won a first round game? You'd think the committee would start recognizing that these schools can play with the big boys in March.

That's not what the committee wants.

 

[Dehere]

Apparently the final clock minute of Marshall-Wich St took 18:26 in real time.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

That's not what the committee wants.

Unfortunately, you're right.

 

[tims4wins]

Excruciating

It made an incredible game only kind of fun.

Did they break out commercial time?

I was making my way home from, I thought my phone was broken when nothing appeared to be happening

 

[DJnVa]

Purdue has lost Isaac Haas for remainder of tourney with fractured elbow.

 

[johnmd20]

Haas out for the season with a fractured elbow. He's on Purdue. I also have him in my play pick pool. He was my 2nd pick. This is BRUUUUTAL for me and Purdue.

 

[DJnVa]

HA! I BEAT YOU THIS TIME!!!

 

[RedOctober3829]

Me too. I have them going to the Final Four along with Arizona.....

 

[Dan Murfman]

Figures. I had Purdue with my 2nd sheet.

 

[johnmd20]

HA! I BEAT YOU THIS TIME!!!

I'll confess, I'm rattled.

 

[Greg29fan]

Roy Williams's teams now 28-0 in their first game of the NCAA Tournament.

 

[McBride11]

Fucking ref just took out the Butler kid! Guys got money on Ark

 

[canderson]

I’m shocked Texas isn’t getting blown out, much lesss up 10.

 

[McBride11]

what a BS call on Bamba. All ball. Cost him #4

 

[johnmd20]

what a BS call on Bamba. All ball. Cost him #4

Looked like a foul.

 

[McBride11]

first view, yes. They showed that second view where he clearly got ball then the guy

 

[johnmd20]

Caroline draining threes.

 

[johnmd20]

Some weird calls on both sides in this Texas game.

 

[johnmd20]

And ANOTHER bad call. Or non call, in this case.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Semi-sweet Caroline

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Fucking nails to make that second free throw after clanging the first. And now Texas knocks it out of bounds. Nevada ball with 1.6 seconds left, tie game. Ball in the front court.

 

[johnmd20]

Tough final shot there, just wasn't a great look.

 

[johnmd20]

That was a really stupid foul there. Ticky tack. But still really stupid.

 

[McBride11]

What did Texas even draw up on that inbounds?

 

[McBride11]

Nevada is winning this huh? Esp with Bamba out

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Wow. Caleb

 

[canderson]

Texas :/

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Reviews again, yawn..

 

[BigSoxFan]

Bamba and Ayton one and done.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

LOL, you just knew he'd bury that three. Only in the NCAA tournament is that automatic.

I have to say that the free throw shooting today, at least in the close games, has been fucking putrid.

 

[canderson]

That game is the perfect summarization of Shaka Smart in Austin.

 

[johnmd20]

They cut to the locker room and it's two very easy to hear F Bombs. That was great.

Haha loved it

 

[johnmd20]

Haha loved it

And then Gumbel says, "We're sorry for the colorful language."

 

[RedOctober3829]

I'm not really interested in any of these 4 games. I can't wait for Clemson-NMSU.

 

[johnmd20]

Bucknell in the lead, 28-27, with 5 minutes left in the half.

BU alum here. Last time they were a 14, Kansas wept. I really want to know what Moore did to be suspended so long.

That was awesome!

Marcus Foster has 0 points for Creighton. He scores 21 a game and has never been blanked in the first half this season.

 

[johnmd20]

Xavier was up 13-4. Now down 13-17.

 

[McBride11]

Xavier was up 13-4. Now down 13-17.

Back up 29-20. Since I wanted to be mildly different I picked X to win it. Losing in round 1 would have been, well, not ideal

 

[Infield Infidel]

Charleston Auburn is UGLY. Neither team shooting 35%.

 

[johnmd20]

That wasn't a box out. It was a foul.

 

[johnmd20]

The ref missed that by 4 inches. Horrendous call. Creighton got screwed.
