NCAA Tournament

[CountryRoads]

Think I’m spoiled by Marquette’s offense. I’m cringing watching USC repeatedly taking fade away, off balance, and contested mid range shots and long 2s.

[FairWeatherEagle]

Things that concern me:
* MSU looks decent...but some of that is USC not so much.
* MSU pushing the pace. We'll win that game but still that shows confidence and they are doing it well.
* Will MSU show this chocolatey goodness for 40 minutes?

[JakeBarnes]

USC of course. Izzo has been to 25 tourneys. They may have had an off year but I think are more dangerous.

Yep. That's a loud Michigan St crowd.

Honestly watching this game

SHould we take care of business against Vermont

I think while MSU is probably more talented, USC is the "worse" match up for us.

Play our game and should handle both, plus vermont.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Lol. That’s a lot of word salad to say Prosper guarded a player for UConn in part of a game. No one said O Max just defends 4’s and 5’s. No one said Carter and Prosper are the same player.

Why so angry? You’ve made 2 trolling posts now without much substance to them.

This nonsense is par for the course when you say something inaccurate.

My early impressions are USC is more talented than Mich St.

I'm not angry? Or trolling?

I am quoting what you say word for word. This isnt a my opinion vs yours situation.

You are flat out wrong.

This is 3 posts now of yours will little substance to any of them.

 “if you knew basketball” implying I don’t, as well as, “Hate to be the guy to ruin the unknown for you…” “you are flat wrong” …..yes that seems angry and trying way too hard about a benign topic.

Both games on right now are tied.

March rules.

[CountryRoads]

Xavier is way over seeded.

[MuggsyB]

X tied with Kennesaw St.  Uh-Oh?

Beat Creighton by 25 to go to the Big East title.

Kennesaw St. struggled against quality opponents.

Besides MU winning it all, a side thing is Big East d0ing well and getting respect.
Wish I'd thought of a Poll: how many wins BE will have in tourney.

We know how many losses they'll have:   4 right?! 

[JakeBarnes]

I smashed X at -7.5 when it dropped.

[MuggsyB]

The Kennesaw St. coach has a sweet quarter-zip.  That owl logo is rather badass! 🦉

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  Give the freaking ball up in a 2 on 1.  Terrible play by Colby Jones. 

[MuggsyB]

X looks totally out of sorts and rudderless.  They better wake up quickly.

Totally agree
Sometimes teams are better because they remain consistent and keep composure and are better coached under pressure. Let the lesser team start beating itself.

Rolls reversed here. X needs halftime, take a breath and be Xavier for the next 20 minutes.

Xavier with 3 points in the final 6 minutes.  They scored 20 points by the first media TO and then hit 5 shots the rest of the way.  And not just that, they were making stupid passes and looking sluggish.  Hell, Boum's final shot of the half was an airball 3 from 30 feet away he took with 5 seconds left on the shot clock.

[MuggsyB]

Boogie Ellis is getting fouled a lot off the dribble.

Great points JWags.  They were an absolute abomination and you could see it snowball.  Miller did didly squat about it.  Hopefully they wake up.

X trailing by 7. The BE has not distinguished itself in tournament action thus far. We need to change that!

MSU D has actually looked pretty good down the stretch

They were physical on the perimeter and USC didn't have an answer.
