Dana Altman has never lost in the opening round. You don’t bet against that.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Couisnard is having himself a game.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Getting interesting

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

17-0 run. Wow

 

[joe dokes]

What in the name of Donnie May is going on here?!

 

[Ale Xander]

Glad I found this in time. Thought game was over

 

[canderson]

I picked Texas in my pool but have zero belief they actually win. I think it’ll be a 10-15 point loss.

20-2 run

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

This is gonna be heartbreaking for either Dayton or Nevada

 

[Ale Xander]

Please lose, Steve

 

[joe dokes]

Both teams played not-chuck-it-up offense with under a minute to go. Impressive both ways.

 

[Ale Xander]

Bad turnover but at least this way they get last shot

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Wow. This will be an epic loss/comeback

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

The game or the whole tourney?

 

[Auger34]

I am more of an NBA fan than a college fan…every year I watch the tournament I am stunned at how awful the execution is at the end of games

 

[joe dokes]

Great D. Stalled a pick and roll. Big guy was too far out with nowhere to go.

 

[Ale Xander]

Yay bye Steve

Bye fan in MFY hat

Not an A’s/Giants fan?

It's not just end of games. It's everything. It's such a far inferior product it's not even funny. And this is coming from someone who watched college hoops religiously up until ~5 years ago. Now I can barely stand to watch it.

 

[Auger34]

Those last 2 Nevada possessions were absolutely awful. My god

I agree but it’s just so glaring at the end of games.
I don’t know if you watched this Nevada game but those last 2 possessions were middle school level

 

[mauf]

Ah well, there goes my perfect bracket.

Those last 2 Nevada possessions were absolutely awful. My god

I think they got one good shot the last 7 minutes of the game.

I did not see it but I don't have to imagine very hard what it looked like

 

[Auger34]

I guess Nick Davidson had a good year and a good game but that attempted crossover and that last 3….yuck

This is illegal to say under the Dookie fan bylaws

They had a possession out of a timeout down by 1. They get the ball to the big man at the nail…who then pivots multiple times but can’t get rid of the ball…so naturally he then faces up and attempts a crossover and boots it away for a turnover

 

[canderson]

The game or the whole tourney?

Tennessee will name their score vs Texas if they win. Which again I don’t suspect they will.

Tatum uber alles

Fantastic

 

[Auger34]

Texas and Colorado State not exactly putting on a clinic out there

 

[strek1]

I see the cocks went limp today. Oregon spanked them.

 

[Ale Xander]

The Hunt is on.

 

[Just a bit outside]

CSU wants to be UVA. What a horrid half.

 

[Mooch]

CSU wants to be UVA. What a horrid half.

They have no legs. Whole team looks exhausted.

 

[shawnrbu]

Sad 24 hours for the Mountain West. Still rooting hard for them to silence their critics.

 

[tims4wins]

11 points?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

27-11 at half is sicko shit

 

[Brand Name]

CSU is now the 10th team in NCAA Tournament history to score 11 points or fewer in the first half. Last: 2008* Kent State.

*That year had an 11-point half too, Winthrop's second 20 against Wazzu, first round.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I was really hoping that Virginia's stink wouldn't rub off on CSU

 

[canderson]

That half was weird cause Texas actually played poorly.

 

[Ale Xander]

They need to get rid of the first four but they’re moving in the opposite direction unfortunately

 

[AB in DC]

Oakland gets a total gift and then don't cash in.

 

[canderson]

This is hideous basketball

 

[shawnrbu]

7 threes for Gohlke.

 

[canderson]

I have McNeese in the sweet 16. Too bad Gonzaga remembered how to play basketball after their conf tourney.

 

[shawnrbu]

Have Gonzaga and Kansas ever met in the tournament?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

What’s John Calipari’s buyout number?

 

[canderson]

Texas remembered who they are

 

[tims4wins]

Oakland coach was pissed at the first half officiating

 

[Ale Xander]

I have McNeese in the sweet 16.

This is good news for Gonzaga

 

[Ale Xander]

Bad shot Disu
