All Things NCAA Tournament Games

[Gilthorp57]

I don't watch as much hoops as I used to, but I posted in the B1G tourney thread that I thought Purdue was a .500 team without Edey. I don't know how the NCAA does the seeding, but Purdue has to be one of the worst #1 seeds in the history of the tournament. Not very good guard play and a couple of white guys who are Rick Mount (look him up) wannabes.

Rick the Rocket was a player!!! First high school player to be on the cover of SI

What a shooter Mount was!

The state of Iowa face-planted this tournament.

Close to 3M population state with three schools in, vs Minnesota closer to 6M with zero teams.

 

[USAF]

Drake really got fucked by officiating. Massive difference in free throws.

Could drain it from anywhere in the arena. Always wonder how many more PPGs he would have had if the 3-pointer would have been in effect when he played at Purdue.

The Gophers have also been to more Final Fours in the last 40 years than Purdue.

Here are The Five Pur dont Tourney loses to Double Digits seeds since 2011(Painter would be hung in effigy by some on here - you know who you are)-

FAU / Memphis high quality entertainment in this 1st half.

Think he had 63 in a game against Iowa

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Stupid Montana St. and their hiring practices.

 

[stocker08]

Purdue should never have lost to that team. Regardless.....Purdue was way too slow. Teams need at least some athleticism to win a national title.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

So, the Montana St. coach has only been the hc in Bozeman for 2 seasons? I gotta go kick a trash can

 

[BTChamp]

Imagine losing in the 1st round as a 4 seed. Then a 2 seed. Then a 1 seed. In consecutive years.

Wow. Didn't know they were that bad in the tournament.

For his 3 year career he average over 32 ppg, 84% ft shooter, 48% FG shooter. Unreal. He would have had 3-4 more points per game with the 3 point line

FDU only won 4 games last year? So you’re saying there’s a chance…

With Florence?

More than a chance, stud

 

[Cayman]

Wow. Didn't know they were that bad in the tournament.

They weren't quite that bad. They did lose to a 15 seed last year, but it was in the Sweet Sixteen against St. Peter's. Purdue was a 3 seed.

Watching former gopher Brian Greenlee in at crunch time for a tournament team is crazy and depressing. He didn't look like a D1 player here. And now...

Kids get better.

I don’t remember seeing the number of players yelling and fighting with their team mates like early in this years tourney. Maybe just being shown more than in previous years but it does seem more frequent. Also, in the 1 n done era it’s unusual to see a 26 yo playing- DeAndre Williams.

 

[howeda7]

Nice to see FAU take out Memphis.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Memphis loses.

That’s a shame.

 

[Frink]

Kids get better.

Yep. Just always a drag seeing someone do it after they leave Minnesota, especially this year.

 

[howeda7]

Fire Painter. It will be amusing to watch the fallout.

Maybe bodes well for Battle and Cooper.

That's a common occurrence with Memphis

 

[stocker08]

TCU/ AZ State tied at 67 with 34 second remaining. Another good game.

 

[gopher7]

Miami was +15 over the last several minutes while being out of timeouts. See coaches, you can trust your players sometimes.

 

[Outsider]

I think I saw the FDU coach was a D2 coach last year. Haha, taking down Purdue this year.

[stocker08]

Minnesota recruited Jakobe Coles. Unsuccessfully....of course.
