ncaa tourney

Coach "Heart Break", Rick Barnes. still has 0 Basketball National Championships. Found this jewel on his Bio: "Barnes is known for consistently blowing it in March and kinda sucks."

 

Unfortunately, in football, they're better for some good laughs than betting on.

 

Best game of the day (for me anyways): #1 Baylor losing to #8 UNC 93-86. Love It!!

 

The Good Aggies have erased a deficit and are tied at 30.

 

Btw, the NMSU Aggie mascot looks like an outlaw who’s about rob a train. Nothing wrong with that, just a totally trivial observation.

 

The Good Aggies take the lead. 33-32 with 7:55 left

 

Nuts. Arkansas has woken up and is stepping on the gas, 41-33.

 

The academy award for the day goes to Roy Williams for not blowing a gasket on national TV while UNC was blowing a 25 point lead against Baylor.

No he is no longer the HC, but TV showed him mire than the UNC coach.

 

Pigs win, 53-48.
Props to the Good Aggies for making a game of it.

 

Good game between New Mexico State and Arkysaw. Was hoping for NMS to knock them off, but Pigs won 53-48

 

FINAL: #9 Memphis 78 - #1 Gonzaga 82

Fun game to watch

 

Best wishes today for UofH, Texas, and TCU.

And Tech. Grudgingly. But I want to see 4 Texas teams in Round 3. (And Tech isn’t Baylor, so there’s that.)

 

Congrats to the Coogs!
Nice 3-pointer at the end, for emphasis.

 

The Ghost of Chief Illiniwek reached out and *****-slapped their Sweet Sixteen hopes and dreams.

Meanwhile, mom's hopes and dreams of free furniture (save for the sales tax) remain alive.

 

I'm just glad the Bailor reign of terror is OVER....

 

I watched the overtime. It was exciting, but that was not quality basketball by either team. Sloppy passes, missed dunk, bunch of missed FTs, nobody helping out teammates, etc - looked more like a really unusually athletic pickup game.

 

Cue the appropriate ominous music ...

 

Notre Dame’s zone is keeping Tech in check early on.

 

Tech will wear them down.

 

Tech’s D is doing a number on Notre Dame as well.

 

Easy shots are being missed by both teams. You know those trick basketball rims like at the State Fair Midway carney games—where it almost always bounces out? That’s kinda what it’s looking like at times for both the Irish and Tech.

 

Obanor is coming alive for Tech. 22-18. Late first half.
Tech has Obanor, Santos-Silva, and Williams down low. Keep working it in the paint. And keep up that D pressure.

Notre Dame is used to scoring 80-85 points per game…

 

off topic
but I like the mascot commercial

Wreck em Tech

 

I love that ad. It says so much with no words being spoken.

 

2 O rebounds in a row and a put back, with under 5 seconds left, for ND to close out the half. Result: Tech only up by 1 at half.

Adams calm and Mr nice guy (while under much pressure) as usual. The world needs more people like him.

 

Tech a lot more physical than the Irish. Tech playing their game, getting the boards.

39-33 Tech

Getting to the mid 2nd half.

 

Big XII is representing well, already 2 teams in the Sweet Sixteen with a chance to get three more by the end of the night. Poor Baylor.

 

ND living and dying by the 3. Right now they’re living. Tied it up with some 3 point shots.

 

Not really caring about B12 at this point.
We gone.
Just as soon see TTech go away.

 

So far, the too Big 10 teams have wilted when facing good defenses. Here’s to hoping Purdue continues the trend.
