NCAA Tournament

[wadesworld]

Went to a few Mizzou games this year. Also don't think Carter would provide much. Would probably take Gold's roll with his experience, but would rather have Gold get those minutes for the future.

Yeah just like the NCAA got tough with UNC for making up classes.  Oh wait...

It's my understanding that NCAA members cannot decline an NCAA Tournament bid if received.  Maybe known as the Marquette rule for all I know.  That's all I'm saying. 

On another note, I was over the moon when Villanova beat them in that final (2016?).  I kept thinking these fu$@#ers are gonna blatantly cheat and win a natty.  Nope .....

Let's go Princeton!

Wiw one pint gane Princeton and AZ.  2 min left

Do we want a 15 knocking off a 2 to get it out of the way

That's totally logical to me. Go tigers!

[JWags85]

Not only would it be shocking regardless, even moreso given how AWFUL Princeton was for a solid 8-10 min to start the first half.

[Daniel]

Wow!!!

[Pakuni]

I mean, two #2 seeds can't lose in the first round, right?

[Tyler COLEk]

How could this team have the #4 offense in efficiency? How?

[SoCalEagle]

Great win for the Tigers. 

Now is it asking too much from the basketball gods for UCLA to lose tonight, too???

[GoldenEagles03]

It is March. Nobody is safe.

[MuggsyB]

Wow, just wow!!

[PGsHeroes32]

Would love to be wrong.

But still feel like Zona pulls away by mid 2nd half at latest.

I was wrong.

Lets go!

Was just going to ask what the percentages changes if that happening

[tower912]

There is no way there is an intact bracket anywhere.

It's only happened once, 2012

[Daniel]

Yup
Only 10 No. 15 seeds have ever won a first-round game in the NCAA Tournament, but six of those games — two in the same year! — have happened in the past decade

So statistics are on our side!   Yikes!

[MuggsyB]

Looking at the stats Princeton won the game going 4-25 from distance.  Amazing.

They couldn't hit a 3 for anything.  Man.  What a game

[Silent Verbal]

This is gonna screw up my bracket a bit, but I'm not gonna feel too sorry for Arizona.  I'll never forget Hassan Adams screaming like he just won a natty after making a play against us in that home and home we had with them during the Crean era.

Jay Bilas bracket check. His national champion is out.

Good for Princeton. Tough end to a strong season for Arizona.
