2018 NCAA Tournament thread

Yo Ali what up wit dat white choker thingy, girl????

[Benny B]

This is NBA-Jam-esque.

Put the nail in the coffin.

That's how I feel.   Others in this thread don't agree, maybe you and I are tainted because it was our school.  That was at the time the worst loss in NCAA history and it didn't help that we had the game absolutely sown up without the collapse. 

On that day, my future wife was in a wedding in Dubuque, Iowa and I was her date for the weekend. I missed the game and never forgot how shocked I was about what happened. I think my future in-laws thought I had a heart attack or something.

What we learned was that the Miami of F-ing Ohio game was that the "seashells and balloons" era at Marquette had ended. It wasn't just that we lost to a joke team from a joke school, it was a sign that the Al McGuire era was over. Al never would have let his team lose a game like that.

We never recovered from that loss. Ever. Maybe Wojo will put the final balm on that wound in the years to come.

For Cavalier fans' sake, I do hope that the Baltimore County loss was not the first day of a bad few decades!

I had told all of my friends I was going to Marquette literally one day before that effen game! I heard about it for the rest of the school year!!!

Heartbreak for the Big East and Seton Hall.

[Herman Cain]

Seton Hall fought hard to the end. They gave a great effort. Their seniors had a very good run.

Delgado working on a 20/20 game

Watched the game with some KU folks that i had warned about Delgado.  about 10 minutes in:  "Jesus, every game?" me: "every f'n game for like a decade"

Ohio State overcoming a horrible start.

Great game.

Ohio State overcoming a horrible start.

Is it in the B1G bylaws that every team has to have a "Dakich" i.e. over emoting/instantly hatable player?

[tower912]

In the Big East, we call that a Macura.

Go Jesuits, beat the B1G.

Complete underachievers. Won the BET 3 years ago and fell flat repeatedly ever since. 1-3 in the tournament and back to back 10-8 seasons with Delgado, Carrington, Rodriguez, and Sanogo as upperclassmen is pretty poor.

[Mr. Nielsen]

At least they won their first tournament game since 2004.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

I really appreciate our FT shooting after watching every other team so far today.

Agreed.

If BAMA has gas in the tank, (late finish in hard fought game Thursday night), they will give Nova all they can handle.  Wouldn't surprise me to see Bama beat Nova.

Great perspective here.

Completely agree.  They were loaded and couldn't manage better than an eight seed.

I would trade their performance over the last 4 years for ours.

[LAZER]

I would trade their performance over the last 4 years for ours.

Probably, but I wouldn't take their next 4 over our next 4. And that's been a relative peak for that program.

Yup.  Their cliff is going to be huge.

Finished with 24 and 23. Amazing.

I was at the game...sitting close enough to hear them slapping Whitehead's arms. Couldn't even stick around for the next game. Ugh.

[Floorslapper]

Great perspective here.

Ha. Yeah. Doors got blown off in the second half. Bad call.

Feel free to reference other ridiculous perspective I've offered as it relates to MU basketball. Btw. Found that Fire Wojo thread I started yet?  Better yet, find a post I've made suggesting Wojo should be fired even if we miss NCAA next year. Good luck.

[Floorslapper]

Wow. Michigan. Craziness
