UNC with an epic disaster. Shooting foul with about 4 seconds left and down one against Duke. UNC player misses the first and then on the second....a UNC player steps into the lane.....negating the tying free throw.

Couldn't happen to a better program.

Yeah....unfortunately it benefited Duke.

State struggling with Wisky, 12:45 left 52-45 Wisky. Wisky is inviting State to shoot threes, then Holloman shoots off his mouth and gets nailed with a T.

It was the rare occasion I was rooting for Duke.

If North Carolina gets in, there should be an investigation. In fairness, the committee generally gets it right. They know UNC is a fraud.

I can somewhat stomach Duke, but despise UNCheat

If UNCheat were playing the Badgers, I'd would become (yuck) a Badger fan for said game only.

Holloman has been dog-doo today.

Holloman has been dog-doo today.

Setting up Holloman for that late three was a dumb move. Instead of side stepping and taking it wide open.....he gets blocked.

I say this every March but I would rather the refs get every single call wrong than to have the amount of reviews that are occurring in the Auburn Tennessee game.

Maryland is a tough to figure out team. Undersized, which makes a matchup against a team like Michigan tough. Derik Queen is a pretty poor defender.....but holy smokes.....he's a monster on the offensive end. Big time skills for a guy his size. When Maryland is on, they are a scary team.

 

[IceBoxGopher]

Wow, intense win for the Wolverines. Hopefully they take out the Badgers tomorrow.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Michigan-Wisconsin is a game I cannot bring myself to watch tomorrow.

 

[stocker08]

That was an epic failure by Maryland. Out of a timeout....they let Donaldson go coast to coast....uncontested in 5 seconds. Wow.

 

[Gilthorp57]

And DJ aka Lurch tried to give the game to Maryland. Why he keeps getting assignments is would solve finding the Holy Grail.

Players to watch in CSU game: Evans, Mbemba and Crocker Johnson, all underclassmen that are big contributors. Clifford the star is a 5th year senior.

I gotta give credit. Whisky is looking great. Great guards, bigs, ft shooting.

Between Queen at 6'10" with his skills and Julian Reese, they have just enough size. But if one of those two goes down, they're in a tough spot.

rematch of the 2017 tournament final but unlike 2017 Minnesota made the semifinals and were a 5 seed in the ncaa tournament

 

[WindyCityGopher]

No points and 3 turnovers for Colorado State in the first 5 minutes. Maybe Medved really is meant to be the Gophers coach.

Almost the exact same. Gophers were just a few hundred bounces away from doing that again.

Nah....they're getting way too many open shots.

CSU on a 22-3 run since this post. Me and Niko are connecting.

At least Michigan had an uneventful trip into town this year.

 

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

The atmosphere at MSG is just electric. It obviously helps to have St John's in there but it was even better during the Creighton UConn game last night.

 

[Beerculees]

Really that I have a team to root for the NCAA tourney. CSU is fun to watch, like the sophomores. Sign me up for Niko.

The level of athletes CSU has is not great other than Clifford but they play smart and they are skilled basketball players. They won't last in the tournament. Not quite enough talent, but they might scare someone.

And Ethan Morton, who played 10 years at Purdue as a grad transfer!

That shows me their success is do in large part to coaching.

And. . .very few teams last long in the tournament. It's a fairly brutal one and done tourney. Getting past even game one is an accomplishment.

 

[stocker08]

Some good championship games going on right now.
