NCAA Dance Thread

[Mr. Nielsen]

Solid league. Yet, tough week for the Mountain  West.

[MuggsyB]

Are the Zips any good? 

[Mr. Nielsen]

Are the Zips any good?

They have the best mascot.

[MuggsyB]

They have the best mascot.

I haven't seen Zippy. 

[MuggsyB]

Akron is playing hard.  Can the Zips hold on?  Where's Zippy?

Groce butchered this final 30 seconds. I don't care what Lappas said on the broadcast, you absolutely foul UCLA with the Bruins shooting 1 and 1 for two more fouls.

[PointWarrior]

Amazing seeing all these low seeds play hard, smart and even some winning while Marquette shits the bed.

100%

They did get the stop though. But pretty lucky.

And then they play for the tie with a miracle layup attempt.

Thought the exact same. Even in losses, these teams are playing with a lot of pride and fans can be proud of their team.

That' 5th foul on their big didn't help. On that last play there was a guy wide open in the corner.

Just brutal down the stretch from Murray State

[Jockey]

Murray coach is unbelievably bad. Last 3 straight possessions where the are doing nothing with the ball near mid court with 5-6 seconds on clock to end regulation.

[MuggsyB]

What a shot!

Matt McMahon is a very good coach.

[warriorstrack]

I hope Colgate shows up tomorrow!!!  From what I've heard they have a pretty good team.

[MuggsyB]

It just dawned on me that next year is 2023.  To think that it will be 10 yrs since we could potentially get a NCAA tournament win is tough to stomach.  I do think Shaka will get us there but we really need to get more quickness and physicality for starters. Not to mention a quality glass cleaner.

Did they do that when they curb stomped us?

[Dickthedribbler]

Now that MU is eliminated, I have kicked into full schadenfreude mode. I'm looking at you Calipari and Hurley. And there are 3 B10 teams out already, with 5 more potential candidates Friday. I would be gratified if only 1 B10 team made it through to the S16, on their annual march to the futility of not producing a National Championship in 22 years.

Purdue's draw just opened up but I'm with you DTD.

Marquette last won a game in the NCAA in 2013 and Shaka last won a game in the NCAA in 2013. VCU beat Akron in the 1st round then lost to Michigan. VCU lost in the 1st round in 2014 and 2015. Texas lost in the 1st round in 2016, 2018, and 2021. With the blowout loss to North Carolina, he's lost 7 straight NCAA tourney games, and the last six in the 1st round.

Based on results, Shaka and Dan Hurley have to at least be in the team picture of most overrated coaches in college hoops.

So what should we do?  Solutions?  Are you saying pivot and move a different direction?  I'm having trouble sleeping.

I'm going into full Chicos mode. Did you see in the IU game, where the ball got stuck on the top of the backboard, and they needed the female cheerleader to get it? She and her family are my neighbor.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

St. Peter's, Richmond and maybe Vermont to the Big East.
