NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament (#3 Seed)

[IrishSteelhead]

Anybody watching Purdue? Cincy player just got ejected for throwing an elbow at Hammons.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Texas was the only other state that got 5 teams in the tourney. They will finish 0-5 today. Ouch....

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Epic choke job looming...... Yes I realize I've been talking to myself in here the last hour.

 

[Irish Insanity]

It's phenomenal.

 

[Irish Insanity]

To many games with the refs footprint on them.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Wild ass night. Harvard had a chance.

 

[bkess8]

Purdue blew their game.

 

[KPENN]

<3 you march madness.

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Purdue blew their game.

Cincy is beyond awful. Purdue shot worse than any team from everywhere and still had to choke to lose. I got the feeling neither team was thrilled to win, knowing what will be coming Saturday.

 

[IrishLion]

I'm a UC fan, so even though theyll get plastered by UK, I'm glad I get to see one more game.

Anyone know the Flagrant 2 rule? Is Ellis out the next game? That shit was bush league.

 

[bkess8]

COME ON SFA!

 

[bkess8]

Damn really wanted SFA to win that game!

Dang
Almost got Wofford right too on an upset but couldn't do what was needed those last couple minutes

 

[connor_in]

13 of 16 two days in a row...I've done a lot worse

What is up with the TV broadcast of the games today? Only game on at noon is the terrible UAB vs UCLA matchup and the only game on at 2:40 pm is in the same location so it won't start for 30 minutes after the first one. Why not show a couple games at a time? This blows. They are showing 3 games at the same time this evening.

Was just thinking the same thing.

Pretty excited for Kentucky/Cincy. Cincy plays like a bunch of bullies, they wont be intimidated.

 

[MNIrishman]

Cinci hanging tough

They won't be allowed to compete. If Cauley-Stein is allowed to do what he just did on the offensive boards going over the back, and the Harrison twin literally threw a player down with no call, Cincinnati has no chance.

 

[Irish Insanity]

If Cinci would quit with the stupid long 3s they keep heaving up they would be up by 10.

 

[Irish Insanity]

And that knee sure didn't look accidental.

 

[KPENN]

Those last few minutes there were game.

 

[JD Irish]

I am impressed with how tough Cincinnati has been. Too many airball threes though, haha.

 

[Woneone]

The Harrison's are literally the biggest whiners As a tandem I've ever seen. I'm shocked to see Lyles seemingly get rattled though.

 

[Woneone]

I love how the commentators are acting as though this was a complete beat down.

 

[IrishLax]

Rough way to look at it...

1 seeds: Kentucky>Duke=Wisconsin>Villanova.
2 seeds: Arizona=UVA=Gonzaga>Kansas.
3 seeds: ND>Iowa State>Baylor>Oklahoma
4 seeds: UNC>Maryland>Louisville>Georgetown

So... Midwest has 1,4,1,2 = 8
West has 2.5, 2, 3, 1 = 8.5
East has 4, 2, 4, 3 = 13
South has 2.5, 2, 2, 4 = 10.5

That's pretty terrible balance. And the committee chair sounded like an utter buffoon in his rationale. Bunch of non-answers.

So true to form, the East has fallen apart and is a joke. At the time of the draw I really wished we had gotten the draw that 10-loss Oklahoma was gifted, and now I doubly wish that. Who do people think if the favorite in that bracket now? Northern Iowa?

We are sitting at 4-0 against the Sweet 16 field. Soon to be 6-1 after Duke wins, and will bump to 7-1 if Louisville is able to pull off a win later. Only two of those games were at the Joyce Center

But... but... ND's RPI is so weak and they played bad teams in their non conference!

Curious to see if Kansas losing to a "quality opponent" in Wichita State puts them back at #1 in the RPI
