NCAA Tournament

[nyg]

Looking at the stats Princeton won the game going 4-25 from distance.  Amazing.

Yup, but Arizona went 3 for 16.  Arizona lost because they needed to cut down on the threes and go into Tubelis and Ballo on every possession.  Smart playing by Princeton, outplaying Arizona guards.

Hope MU learned a lesson.  No barrage of threes and everyone on the team, with exception of Sean Jones, drives to the hoop.  Get fouls or get a basket.  Vermont does not have the players Princeton has and played a much harder schedule.

Couple of Illinois kids in the Princeton team as well. Always amazes me that DePaul can’t get even 1 or 2 of these players to stay home.

Arizona played to their pace, I think that’s the biggest factor. Speed Vermont up and Marquette will be a okay.

The kinds of kids who go play at Princeton generally don't see themselves as future professional basketball players. That being the case, would you go get a Princeton education or a DePaul education?
(Not trying to besmirch DePaul here, but it's not the Princeton of Lincoln Park).

yes, one of them from my hometown - Pierce - Ivy freshman of the year. 65% free throw shooter drained 2 clutch FTs at the end. Our town is super proud!!!!!

That Glenbard West team was so unfair. Never seen such a dominant boys high school team in my lifetime.

Arizona's guards shot 5 for 21 from field, including 1 for 12 from three.  Great defense on them by Princeton, but poor offensive plan by Arizona.

Was that Grunwald’s team?

[Judge Smails]

Yes, one of the best Illinois high school basketball teams ever

[SoCalEagle]

More upsets (in our region specifically)?

Oral Roberts over Duke?

Louisiana over Tennessee?

We will know pretty soon. 

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

It is March. Nobody is safe.

The overconfidence of many Scoopers prior to the St. Johns BET game is burned in my mind. I also am glad some other 15 seed lost.

Not even Sierra Canyon? 

[DegenerateDish]

Caden Pierce’s uncle is former DePaul walk on Ronnie Kammes (who I went to high school with and remain friends with). That’s a hell of an athletic family, Alec Pierce plays for the Colts.

[Judge Smails]

Yes, another Pierce plays pro ball in Europe

Apparently you weren't born or are unaware of Muggsy's Dunbar Baltimore squad.

I didn’t watch much college basketball this year outside of our games, but if this first afternoon is any indication, there are a lot of bad basketball teams out there.

[GoldenEagles03]

Oral Robert's getting bullied.

It’s still fun cause it’s March Madness but there has been almost exclusively trash basketball so far today.  This Iowa-Auburn game is right in line.  That Arkansas-Illinois game was ugly and lame.  This Duke game is looking like another dud

Oral Robert's getting bullied.

I checked their schedule and they seem like a massive fraud. Zero games against the P6 and were beaten by 38 by Houston and lost to St Mary’s, Utah State and New Mexico. They beat absolutely nobody this year.

[forgetful]

I no longer have any perfect brackets (I only have a couple brackets total).

I have one where my only incorrect was Virginia.
I have another where my only incorrect was Arizona.

Liked both of those as upsets, but didn't have the courage to put them both in the same bracket.

That’s solid. I’ve clawed back to .500

Oral Roberts looks terrible.
And how did Thuggish get in at 19-14

Iowa is getting raced right now.

[tower912]

Duke is a problem.

[MuggsyB]

Princeton outrebounded Zona and if the Gamecast is correct kept them scoreless the last 4:45.   Incredible stuff.

[lawdog77]

Duke is a problem.

They are stacked.
