All Things NCAA Tournament Games

[Bad Gopher]

Thank goodness we don't have to wait two weeks for the next game like we do with pro football.

 

[Gopheritnow]

Didn’t need him

Probably not. We had enough turnovers as is. But in all seriousness he would have helped. But remember the early Marcus Carr we had certainly had a lot to learn. He got his early experience here and then took that experience down the road, where after several years he became a serviceable guard.

 

[Bad Gopher]

I lost about $500 from Texas losing. Nobody would have been able to catch me if they had won in a large pool I’m in.

Did you actually lose $500, or did you just fail to win $500?

 

[Bad Gopher]

Carr with a turnover when the game is on the line.
Seen it before…

In a text thread with a bunch of friends, I remarked, late in the game when the score was tied, that it was going to come down to which team keeps their composure and executes. Miami kept their head and ran their stuff, and Carr dribbled into the lane without a plan. Ball game.

 

[RockChalk]

Who are they going to get who's better?

Texas will not have a problem finding someone they want. That job is high end because of the alumni

 

[50PoundHead]

Carr is a bit of an odd player. Watching the game--and maybe this is more a function of the Texas offensive set--he seems to have a difficult time playing off the ball and still pounds it into the ground when he has the ball. Just can't seem to play within the flow of the game.

Exciting game though. Bodies flying all over the place. Looked like an over-the-top rope Battle Royale at several junctures.

Yes. But it hasn't worked out that great recently in football or basketball.

Ben Johnson

I hope Ben watched that game and heard the stat mentioned towards the end of the game: Miami didn’t attempt a 3-pointer in the 2nd half. If you don’t have players on the court that are not good 3-point shooters, don’t keep heaving them up. You can win with quality 2-point shots.

I'm at the point where I never want to see anyone take a three pointer again. Sir Jabari Rice is about the only guy I've seen this tournament that I'd give the green light to.

Most of these guys have no clue out there.

Failed to win. So yeah didn’t actually lose $500 but it kinda feels like I did when Texas had such a big lead.

 

[Holy Man]

How do you get outscored by 20 points in the last 8 minutes of the game to go to the Final Four?

Inadequate NIL.

Inadequate NIL.

Gopher rental players....

Bucky loses in the NIT semis by 2 after scoring 13 points in the second half. Fitting.

Wahl missed two free throws late in the game that would have tied the score.

Gross basketball. Fun game.

Leave it to Wisconsin to make sure that the Big Ten's post season of yuck ended on a dreadful note.

Mad dog coming up in the second game

Wow. 0 points in the last 9 minutes is… wow. And they had 3 points total in the last 13 minutes of the game.

Zero points in the final 9 minutes. The second semi-final going on now between UAB and Utah Valley State is a very entertaining up and down the floor game.

It depresses me to think that the Badgers scored at will in the paint against the Gophers without hardly any resistance or adjustment, and North Texas finds a way to defend them. (Also that Purdue made our team look like the junior varsity, and they go and get beat by a 16 seed with a competent game plan.)

Honest to God, people, this is managing to get worse as we speak, and the Gophers aren't even playing games.

Looked like both Wahl & Crowl wee scared to take the last shot - wimplification has been completed!

Badgers went scoreless in the last 9 minutes....how is that even possible????

Agree on Wisconsin.

Purdue is a silly example. They won the Big Ten going away and won the Big Ten Tournament. Most teams had trouble figuring them out. The loss to FDU was one game and obviously a complete fluke. They just fucked up that day.

That green does not occur in nature...except maybe on a tree frog.

They weren’t playing us?

 

[WindyCityGopher]

I think SDSU has missed 5 or 6 bunnies within 5 feet already. Gotta put those down, boys.

Yeah, they need to hit those. Maybe butterflies? I don't know, but they are definitely in this.

 

[Outsider]

UConn really plays lockdown “D”. Aztecs really haven’t had an uncontested look at the basket in about 5 min. They might be bunnies but there has been a hand in their face on many of them.
