What gives? Is 3P percentage down across the board compared to previous years?

I mean going a combined 1/29 from 3 for two good tourney bound teams just seems impossible.

Scoring and offense is better than it has been in years across college basketball

Even worse losing to a sub-500 team at home.
And the state should drop the Central from the school name.

I see that St. Francis is the old St. Francis (PA), because their former conference member, St. Francis (NY), dropped athletics.

Quote from: The Sultan on March 11, 2025, 08:08:20 PMMaine snapped a 30 game losing streak against Vermont by beating them in the America East semis. They are a step away from their first NCAA tournament.

And to think, they almost had Cooper Flagg!

Quote from: MU82 on March 12, 2025, 01:28:45 AMBut what about bangers?

They don't allow players to listen to heavy metal, so no

From Yahoo Sports:

Historic regular-season success doesn't guarantee anything in the crucible that is March Madness. To wit, the two best leagues ever by non-conference scoring margin (1997 ACC and 2024 Big 12) sent a combined one team to the Elite Eight. If the 2025 SEC wants to cement its place as the best ever, it will need to show up when it matters most.

X2 is a 24

GT leads Duke 26-12 in the ACC tournament.

Maybe the Yellow Jackets are going to go on an NC State type run.

Flagg just went down with a sprained ankle.

Dukes title dreams are currently hinging on a ankle being looked at in locker room

That was my first thought, too. Hopefully not the case.

You should be watching Iowa State-BYU.

The teams are a combined 14 for 26 (7 for 13 each).

Iowa State - 53
BYU - 49

At the half! That's some high level offense.

The "Kolek Discussion" is taking place in halftime shows and also in the Duke-GT broadcast.

If Duke wins, should Flagg play in the rest of the ACC tournament? How about in the first NCAAT game vs the 16 seed?

This Texas/A&M game is awesome.

That last defensive possession in the first overtime isn't going to go on Buzz's highlight reel.....

Wade Taylor was 4-8 at one point. Went 1 for 10 rest of the way

I'll give ya some points for that one.

And 17/18 on free throws. It was an entertaining late game

But ugly as heck. ONe of TAMU's patented just throw the ball towards the hoop and hope the rebounding wins it games. And it didn't.

Um, he's hurt. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Flagg in a boot at 31 Flavors this afternoon. I guess it's pretty serious.

Scheyer said Flagg is unlikely to play the rest of the tournament, and talked about the "bigger goals" the team has.
