NCAA Tournament First Four and Thursday Game Thread

[Just a bit outside]

As a CSU fan, I'm happy to see that the prevailing narrative from last night is all about UVA sucking and not being deserving and very little credit to the Rams for obliterating them. This team plays better with a chip on their shoulder and I'll bet they still feel disrespected by the national media.

CU fan here. The fact that CSU did this when Stevens, their best player, may of had his worst game of the year shows how good they are. I have enjoyed watching both Colorado teams this year. My kid played against Scott and Clifford in high school and with Cam Lowe, one of their end of the bench guys, growing up.

This first game is great fun. It’s hard to believe Grambling hadn’t ever made that tourney before.

OT. Both 16 v 16 games have been awesome

 

[canderson]

Happy for Grambling State

Replay making this unwatchable. 4 or 5 in the last 2 minutes.

 

[canderson]

These team seem pretty awful. Ugly game. Bad basketball. Unwatchable ending.

Go Buffs! Shitty game but a win is a win.

We are spoiled. Imagine watching this game today? How long can you watch this without turning it off? 7-0 at the half with 4-corner offense and no shot clock.

God what garbage. I kept watching for how bad it was.

Apparently the stream on Paramount+ requires the SHowtime plan. Who knew? Makes no sense I would have gotten it a month ago (free trial now) but can't switch so will watch on laptop and not the Samsung TV

Go MSU lol

 

[canderson]

Mississippi State is looking in bad shape already. Their best player in foul trouble 4 minutes in.

 

[reggiecleveland]

Michigan St D is really solid

Your laptop doesn't have HDMI out?

 

[Ale Xander]

Your laptop doesn't have HDMI out?

No clue
Not sure if I have the cord and if so it’s not 20 feet

Edit: I do

I’m not a tech guy but can probably get a laptop to be “wasted” by putting it next to tv if I figure it out eventually

 

[canderson]

They’re letting BYU and Duquesne play rough

 

[canderson]

Mississippi State decided to play zero defense and gets blown out.

BYU looks to be cooked too - down 14 with 15 mins left but they can’t shoot today.

 

[Ale Xander]

Go Long Beach GO

 

[DJnVa]

BYU has clawed back into it. We're down 9 a few minutes ago. Got it down to 1, just under 5 minutes left.

 

[Ale Xander]

Cougar Pedro dominating down low

 

[Ale Xander]

AX jinx

Then BUY fouls on the Duqee backdoor

 

[Ale Xander]

We cannot escape DOB

 

[canderson]

Duquesne has been giving BYU easy baskets all game and BYU just can’t shoot for shit today.

 

[Silverdude2167]

Big fan of the announcer's talking about the shoes Lebron gave to the team instead of covering what is up to now the most important play of the game.

 

[Ale Xander]

Nice take

 

[Silverdude2167]

That is the ugliest 94% free throw shot I have ever seen.

[Ale Xander]

This isn’t this that big of a shock, DOB

 

[canderson]

Goodnight BYU.

Creighton starting to tighten the screws on Akron.

21M brackets on ESPN. 3M still perfect. After just 2 games.

 

[SLC Sox]

This was a good lesson to never trust BYU on any level. They are bad people with bad fans and deserve every disappointment that comes their way.

Utah to win the NIT!

Meh, do we really need these comments?

I'm just having some fun, feels like a game thread atmosphere. I thought the smiley face and reference to Utah in the NIT was obvious there.

It's more the "bad people" stuff than bad fans and wishing they lose. Just don't want any creep from V&N style topics into threads that should be fun.

Can I call Yankees fans bad people

 

[SLC Sox]

Purely a rivalry thing.

 

[loshjott]

The TBS and TNT games are blocked on ncaa.com on my computer, even though I am a FIOS subscriber. I can get the TBS game on that site but this is different than past years.

Fair enough!

 

[DJnVa]

Well, always.

 

[Nator]

Does Gene Steratore just watch officiating for every sport instead of watching the actual sports?

 

[canderson]

Three blowouts ongoing boooo

 

[Ale Xander]

Morehead doing well
A shame that the best 2 games have been with DOB

Yes, this is annoying.

 

[canderson]

Fun first half on this Morehead v Illinois game

 

[Ale Xander]

WTF

Edit: refresh solved it

Withers receives a gift of a pass

 

[Ale Xander]

Should be a charge on the Fightin

 

[Ale Xander]

And that one is over too.

Let's go, we need a competitive game soon.
