2024 NCAA Tournament Thread

[MU82]

Being too reliant on the 3 is dangerous in a one and done tournament. One bad night and it's over. It is the most volatile stat. And depending on something that is so volatile is risky. I don't think it is anti-Marquette or anti-Shaka to question that strategy.  Ideally, going forward, it'd be good to have a plan B or different types of personnel that can score in different ways when the 3s aren't falling. I say this in the spirit of trying to learn form our experience this past season.

I wouldn't call you anti-Shaka cuz I don't know you. But good shooters taking those wise-open 3s IS Shaka's strategy.

Lots of teams rely on 3s. Even Purdue, with the best big in the land, is VERY beatable when they aren't hitting from deep.

But yes, I wish we did more vs NCSU.

Huh.  Miss a bunch of 3's in a row and even UConn looks ordinary.

No chance, hih?

[tower912]

Not over.

[MuggsyB]

I guess the shooting background isn't bothering Bama.  8/11 from distance doesn't suck. 

[statnik]

Sears has a mix of Brunson and Kolek to his game.

[MuggsyB]

Sears is driving UCONN nuts.   But it's probably a bad sign Bama is down 4 going 8-11 from 3. 

[Johnny B]

8/11 from 3 and still down lol

[MarquetteMike1977]

Alabama 8/11 on 3s. 24 points on 11 shots.
Over 100 %EFG on 3s correct

[MarquetteMike1977]

Paul Szelc from Milwaukee reffing this game

[MarquetteMike1977]

If Marquette makes 8/11 or even 8/31 from 3. Feel Marquette beats NC State

[tower912]

Meh.  When Markus has a half like that he was a ballhog.

Was it RAF who said Sears is showing the whole catalogue?!  Lol

I enjoyed that MU/Buffalo game. 

[MuggsyB]

This is an incredible offensive performance from Bama. 

[jesmu84]

You can dunk, turn around, flex and yell at an opponent?

[tower912]

I think it was Eagle.  It was punderful.

[tower912]

This is an incredible offensive performance from Bama.

The only way to hang with UConn.  In UConn's last loss, Creighton made 14 3's.

[jesmu84]

Does Sears carry the ball every possession?

[Johnny B]

This is an incredible offensive performance from Bama.

Insane

[tower912]

Depends on who you are rooting for.

Castle finally showing why he moght be a lottery pick

[MuggsyB]

Impressive counterpunch from UCONN.  Who was the best pound for pound boxer?  Sugar Ray Robinson?  Roberto Duran?
