2024 NCAA Tournament Thread

[MU82]

I seriously think that was the first 3-second call I've seen all season. And I'm talking about at all levels: NBA, college, high school and middle school!

[MuggsyB]

Virginia is on fire!  They have already netted 17 in the 2H. 

[CountryRoads]

Leon Bond. 0 minutes.

[Tyler COLEk]

Nothing like getting boat raced by a team that looks awfully mediocre.

[Tyler COLEk]

Good to see Coach K still enjoying what he does best.

[Zog from Margo]

Virginia at least eliminated any doubt about whether they belonged. Good to have certainty.

[CountryRoads]

Not even joking, that was a really enjoyable watch.

Virginia lost six of its final 10 games of the season. They lost those games by an average of 19 points, including three games by at least 25.

Their season ended with a 25-point loss — in the NCAA Tournament! — to a team that was the 7 seed in the Mountain West Tournament.

When you're watching paint dry (the offense of Virginia), you gotta do something to keep you occupied.

Kevin m out for Kansas. Entire tourney. Hope we don't see the same for our guy

Don't understand why Virginia was in and St. Johns out. Thought St. Johns had the better resume, and think they would have won that game.

Did he have the same injury?

[1SE]

That's astonishing.

14 minute stretch without scoring a single point.

But its not like the BE's NIT showing suggests any of them belonged. Woof

The committee had Seton Hall above St John's.

Not to mention Oklahoma, Indiana State, and Pitt.

Carter didn't play for Prov.  I honestly don't believe the BEast teams that were left out had a strong case.  Indiana St. is the team I think most people would have liked to see in.  All that said I do think Virginia embarrassed themselves and 5/6 MWC teams were underseeded.  It's absurd 2 of those teams are/were in play-im games.

Sam Hauser killed the Virginia program.  Very sad

Why is it sad?  What's happening in 🇭🇹 is sad.

No one outside of Charlottesville seems to care much. 

[Hards Alumni]

Took a break and watched Welcome to Wrexham. Way better.

Probably more scoring too!

Yeah - the NIT has some real problems with teams and players declining to play. That said, still not a great look to lose two home games and a game to a team that was 6-12 in the SEC. The Hall and Nova better show up tonight.

[The Sultan]

Who knows how engaged these players are. I wouldn't read too much into it.

[Hards Alumni]

The committee had Seton Hall above St John's.

Yeah, well considering they put Virginia in, that isn't terribly surprising.

The very sad was said without much seriousness.

It is a tough break for fellow Wisconsin alum seeing one of their own lose like that.  Tony Bennett's time at Wisconsin shaped him into the coach he is

True.   I'll be rooting for Boise St tonight but most seem to think Colorado is the better team.

They're probably struggling with recruiting and NIL.
