Yeah two of my best friends are a Nova alum and Creighton med student (who doesn't really watch much basketball) and both hate Macura. I believe the long sleeve under the jersey look he was wearing last season was a frequent target of vitriol.As a Nova alum I watch a lot of Big East hoops. Macura is pretty much universally hated (he’s a good player who plays with an edge)
Yeah, that was brutal execution all around.Did Xavier forget they were losing? Wtf was that
Ha I was just going to make a similar comment. 25% of the Sweet 16-- not the expected teams but seems pretty deep to me nonetheless.Acc sucks
Xavier as a 1 was a bit ridiculous, but I don't see many making this argument (at least with any credibility) when they look at Kentucky... and Villanova's easy path for that matter (although I'm hoping for a WV upset-- I don't think they see much real defense in the Big East).Queue up the Gonzaga has an easy path to the Final Four haters
The Ohio schools didn't finish very well this weekend. How not to close out games by the Buckeyes, Musketeers, and Bearcats.Yeah, that was brutal execution all around.
18 point second half lead blown.
Touch fouls are the order of the day on the perimeter, but you can bang all day down low and hack up a storm on people driving to the hoop. Aggravating as hell to watch. Can't even imagine how frustrating it must be to play/coach.This is becoming unwatchable. I turned it off last night when early in the UMBC Fame a UMBC player drove in, was obviously hacked on each arm by different KSU players and turned the ball over with no foul call. The officiating in college hoops is horrendous and at an all time low. I watched quite a few games over 4 days and not one was even decently officiated.
No one cares about Gonzaga after last years pathetic championship game display. They finally get there after 20 years of attention and trying and lay an eggQueue up the Gonzaga has an easy path to the Final Four haters
The thing that really bothers me with college officiating is the complete lack of consistency from game to game and quite often from half to half. Drives me nuts to see the refs let them play in the first half only to whistle about 10 fouls by the under 16:00 timeout in the 2nd half.Touch fouls are the order of the day on the perimeter, but you can bang all day down low and hack up a storm on people driving to the hoop.

The pathetic display in which Gonzaga was down 1 with less than a minute to go and had the ball with a chance to tie under 30 seconds? I could see calling the result frustrating since Gonzaga missed chances to take over the game. However, nothing about Gonzaga's effort in that game was pathetic.No one cares about Gonzaga after last years pathetic championship game display.
