2018 NCAA Tournament thread

Michigan!  WOWZERS

Man oh man.  This is why I love college bball.

(Whew, my Final Four is still intact)

[Herman Cain]

Nice to see a Milwaukee kid make the game winner for Michigan.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

The Milwaukee native Jordan Poole!

[Dish]

What an eff'n tournament so far!

Man do I wish MU was part of this.

[MU82]

Nice to see a Milwaukee kid make the game winner for Michigan.

I look forward to next year's NCAA tourney, when maybe a Michigan kid will make the game winner for the Milwaukee team.

We have a winner!

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

If Markus, Sam, and Morrow graduate with equal performance to this SHU class in two years, I will consider it the greatest waste of talent we've seen this century, worse that Diener going to the NIT as an upperclassman and worse than Jamil & Davante missing the tourney as seniors because at least those guys had some measure of March success before graduating.

Utter heartbreak for Houston. Make the free throws with 3.6 and the game is over. I feel real bad for the Houston kids. I always like seeing fresh blood move on in the tournament.

The extremes of emotion are what make the tournament - and especially this first weekend - my favorite sporting event all year.

The stunning last-second turnarounds that help teams like Loyola and Michigan to advance...countered by the heartbreaking disbelief of teams like Tennessee and Houston that see their seasons end in a flash.

I agree, and think it is highly likely they will NOT "accomplish"/exceed what Seton Hall's group did.  I don't see a Big East Title in next two years.  Think it is highly likely Markus/Sam's NCAA tourney record is 1-3 for their career, just as this Seton Hall group accomplished.

[4everwarriors]

Wee recruit Poole, hey?

[Pakuni]

The Milwaukee native Jordan Poole!

It's been a good couple of weeks for guys named Jordan P--le.

[Norm]

I saw Beilein at the Milwaukee airport on one of his trips in to see Poole.

Duzant fly charter? Cheap ass employer, hey?

Could happen because tournies are crapshoots but I think they will have better seeds then Hall did

I feel confident this group will win at least two games in the NCAA tournament over the next two years.

Didn't realize Devin Davis, who missed the FT at the end for Houston, was the guy at IU who was hit by a car driven by a teammate after a night of drinking.  One of the early nails in the coffin for TC.

The foul discrepancy in the Butler-Purdue game is ridiculous right now.

You have a real hate on for SHU. 

[GGGG]

Cause Purdue is pounding it inside even without Haas.  They move the ball real well.

My guess is a lot of Seton Hall fans were disappointed by how the season turned out.

Seton Halls fans seemed pretty satisfied with the overall performance of their seniors.

Sure.  They are grateful to them.  Classy move.

Do you think the fans were satisfied with a grand total of one NCAA win during their career?  I doubt it.

Butler getting screwed a bit by officials.  They are letting reaches, hacks and going through the shooter on blocks go, while calling touch fouls on the Butler end. 

Kind of the typical, "give the benefit of doubt to the bigger team" type of officiating.
