2024 NCAA Tournament Thread

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

I don't think the inbound pass to the Aggie to hit the game tying three gets enough credit. That was a sidearm bounce pass that while low was right on the money.

Wow, I went to bed with Houston up double digits and it couldn't have been more than a couple minutes to go. What!??   Glad for YouTube highlights...but still kicking myself for missing that.

Also don't agree with all the buzz hate. He's a decent coach. Better than Wojo and not in the same league as Shaka...but decent.

As a sinner, I went to bed with Wade Taylor only at 6 pts for my needed 15.

Very good morning to wake up to a hit on a +2959 same game parlay.

Good call.

Hmmm...must be an entitled Duke fan. Sort of like ND fans.

That was simply a spectacular play - unreal how the pass I was executed, and then the shot hits  wow

Duke fans should be entitled.  Top-5 program.  A program to strive for.

I hate Duke.  But it was very clear watching the JMU vs. UW game that JMU was not very good.

A few of us said after JMU beat the Weasels that if JMU actually had played well, they'd have won by 25-30.

I admit I was a little surprised that Duke absolutely trounced JMU ... but the narrative that JMU was egregiously underseeded, in large part because they beat a meh Michigan State team, was dopey from the start.

I think JMU did play well, for JMU.  They just weren't a good team.  They had 22 Q4 wins this year.  1 (prior to Wisconsin) Q1/2 win.

I see. Did not watch that game. Just felt that they whupped Whisky so they should take care of Duke. I was wrong. I hate Duke also. Hate all teams from ACC, because like No Dick, they all think their crap does not stink.

Sorry Reeker. I do not read your posts. Only on occasion when somebody uses it as a quote in their post. But it is good to know that you are always out there commenting on my posts. After all I live rent free in your mind.

That's not true.  You just read this.  Are you a liar?

If your dung stinks, it's probably a health or diet problem and I suggest you seek medical attention either way.

Some fun trivia this afternoon:

-Half the Maui field made the Sweet 16.
-The only Maui team in the NCAAT to miss the S16 was knocked out... by another Maui team.
-Gonzaga has the potential to play another Maui team in 4 straight tournament games.  (Crazy coincidence that the committee dumped 4 Maui teams in one region.)
-Purdue's run to the title game could potentially be identical to their Maui draw: Gonzaga, followed by Tennessee, followed by Marquette.

Maui was a great tourney this year. We were fortunate to be part. Hope next year's tourney that MU plays is as good. Are we signed up for next year?

I think they are hosting their own MTE next year.

[Uncle Rico]

Be careful in Detroit.  Gonzaga is there

Hardly surprising.  Keep repeating a lie and the mouth breathers will believe it.

I was listening to his interview with Tate Frazier and they mentioned this was coming. Eagle seems like a really cool guy.

Best game of the day is Illinois vs Iowa State.

Think so.  Alabama-UNC could be a treat.
