Is this the biggest mismatch of SAT scores in tournamemt history?

 

[The Filthy One]

Princeton has missed some 3s by like several feet. Like meme-worthy misses. Truly ugly misses. And yet, it's a 1-possession game.

Nah, that's definitely UNC/Duke vs a lower seed. Maybe Georgetown vs FGCU off the top of my head.

Go Princeton Go

 

[canderson]

I have Arizona winning the title. I am pulling hard for Princeton - I wish they could shoot worth a shit and I’d feel better and the upset. Dreadful 3 pt shooting.

 

[Ale Xander]

Dammit
2 straight 3 missed down 1

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Horrible 3’s

 

[Ale Xander]

F yes
Score please

 

[Ale Xander]

Lead!

 

[Ale Xander]

The offense is offensively bad

 

[Ale Xander]

Please guard Steve Kerr Jr

 

[JCizzle]

Arizona’s offense looks horrible

 

[BaseballJones]

Rooting really hard for Princeton here. Let's do it!

 

[Ale Xander]

Yes!!!

make them please

 

[Ale Xander]

Just make one

 

[Ferm Sheller]

NM.

 

[canderson]

Wow.

Ramey is like “I thought losing to ACU was bad!”

 

[shawnrbu]

Arizona is so poorly coached.

 

[Ale Xander]

Roll!

 

[bbc23]

Wow.

Ramsey is like “I thought losing to ACU was bad!”

Can take the Ramey out of Shaka but can't take the Shaka out of Ramey

 

[Ferm Sheller]

They don't call it Madness for nothing.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Up 10 with 8 mins to go. What a choke job. Love it.

 

[jon abbey]

Arizona scored 6 points in the final 11 minutes.

 

[Ale Xander]

Cat fight victorious!

those tables at the eating clubs are injeopardy!

 

[shawnrbu]

Princeton didn’t even play well. 4 for 25 from 3. Arizona was a Top 10 team all season.

 

[BaseballJones]

Love seeing Virginia and Arizona go down. Sweet.

 

[Humphrey]

So much for the "Conference of Champions"!

Very surprised Princeton was that athletic. They sure didn't win because they shot well.

 

[bosox188]

Guys, never pick Arizona or Virginia to go far in the tournament. We should all know by now.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

34K perfect brackets left on ESPN out of 20 million.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I came across this article about Doug Edert/St. Peter's, one of last year's great tournament stories, and I thought I'd share it:

All of the students and staff and their families at Princeton and who else?

 

[pk1627]

Best win for Princeton since they beat UCLA 30 years ago?

 

[joe dokes]

I never learn. It seems as though Arizona has been getting upset in the early rounds fairly regularly (for a regularly high-ish seed) for much of my adult life. Yet I never fail to have them win a few rounds.

 

[Joe D Reid]

Fuck those bounce-pass-ass tweedsniffers.

 

[loshjott]

I just realized Colgate is in the tournament. The son of a HS friend plays on the team. They’ll probably get trounced but I’ll be watching out for him. No idea how much he plays.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

I'm in the stage of a losing Thursday where I start thinking "is this team I picked for thd upset going to score a single point?"

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

All of the students and staff and their families at Princeton and who else?

I picked Princeton, but unfortunately didn’t pick Maryland.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Best win for Princeton since they beat UCLA 30 years ago?

For sure, but not on the level of that one, IMO. One and done has made these a lot less shocking.

 

[speedracer]

all of Duke’s big men are so mobile switching/doubling the PnR/recovering.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I picked Princeton, but unfortunately didn’t pick Maryland.

Nice going. You have to pick some upsets each year if you're going to do well in your bracket. The hard part is figuring out which ones.

 

[Ale Xander]

The team from Tulsa seems to be gagging. Oh well, Duke waltzes to the final four

Nailed Princeton and Furman. Missed on Utah St, Illinois and WV.

 

[j-man]

I picked Utah State. Oops.

i did too

 

[j-man]

picked furman missed utah st prine c

 

[canderson]

Texas’ offense flows so much better without Allen, it’s kinda astonishing.

 

[AB in DC]

Dammit I missed all the interesting games today. Now I'm finally off work and can relax I get four absolute duds on the quad box.

You still have NW Boise

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

Holy shit, I just found the split screen thingy on YTTV. Of course most of the games are shit right now.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

The Auburn - Iowa game is entertaining.
