NCAA Tournament Open Thread

[BM1090]

Yeah I don't think so.  He didn't kick his leg out in a manner to get contact.  It was part of the natural motion of a shooter.

Still a foul, to my understanding. Not giving the defender room to properly contest the shot. I don't think intent matters.

[HutchwasClutch]

I don't remember a tournament less interesting and worse than this year's. And only two games until Elite Eight. 

[tower912]

Carolina losing would make it interesting.

[HutchwasClutch]

Carolina losing would make it interesting.

Why? 

[HutchwasClutch]

They're getting hammered by a 5 seed from SEC...yawn

[rocket surgeon]

Fire that Williams guy, ey?

[tower912]

First #1 out.  I don't like them.  Good enough for me.

[HutchwasClutch]

Duke - Central Florida has been the lone interesting game this year

Auburn and UNC get it going up and down the court.  Hope that Auburn player didn't blow his knee out, it looked bad and the kid was having a great game. 

One thing noticed last couple of nights, especially tonight, the PG game for each team is really really good.
I mean Markus great shooter, but these teams have some sort of good guards, here's a few.

MSU. Cassius Winston
UNC. Coby White
LSU Tremont Waters
Auburn Jared Harper
Purdue Carson Edwards
Tenn.  Bones

Like I said, Markus is good, but these guys different level of point guard.  Down goes UNC, fantastic, adds abit excitement to boring games, exception Tenn/Purdue.

[HutchwasClutch]

Cassius Winston is really good and clutch.  Weren't  his final schools MSU and us?

As you know, been a PG game for quite some time. Fingers crossed the new kid can deliver the goods.

Bruce crying like a baby, aina?

[MUEng92]

About one of his best players possibly blowing out his knee? Yes he was.

Reminded me of Huggy.  I didn't know he cared until that moment with his player.

[HutchwasClutch]

Bruce crying like a baby, aina?

He's a jerk, but a great coach

[nyg]

Bruce crying like a baby, aina?

Crying because his best player tonight blew out his knee and Pearl knows it.  Just before the tears, he said the kids hurt, he's hurt bad, we are going to rally.  Not a baby, had feelings for his hurt player.  Jeez.

Right, well MH is not a point guard just a point guard body. Very little about his game says point guard, hell I would argue Sam is more of a point guard than MH

The team really rallied to keep it together.  Ugly injury and sad.

Problem with a knee is keeping Cam Reddish out of Duke lineup. He arrived at arena with team but is not currently warming up with them.

[StillAWarrior]

This is by no means a prediction, but imagine a road to the championship that went through Kansas, UNC, Kentucky and Duke.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Did you not watch Purdue/Tennessee last night?

[Mr. Nielsen]

PJ Washington is playing for Kentucky.

[HutchwasClutch]

Did you not watch Purdue/Tennessee last night?

Yeah, forgot that one. Still, a terribly down year for the tournament so far.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Kentucky had a comfortable lead most of the game. Now, trails by 3.

[forgetful]

Kentucky gifted a call there. Washington hooked the defender, got the and 1, missed the FT though.
