2021 NCAA Tournament - Meta thread

I don't care what the NCAA rulebook says, that's not even a foul, much less a flagrant. Dude just got packed. That was a great defensive play.

It's definitely a foul, lol.  This isn't soccer where you can demolish the guy as long as you get the ball first.  The follow-through hammered his forearm.

I'm glad and a little surprised they didn't call it a flagrant, tho.

And to think I was actually optimistic there, for once, for a few minutes.  Came out playing hard unlike liberty game.  It’s early but spidey sense tingling after all these ‘upsets’ today

It shouldn't be. He didn't "demolish" him, he caught his arm on the way through the ball. The arm was never relevant to the play. I'm not disagreeing that it's a foul by rule in college basketball, but I dislike it.

Yeah, I get it.  That probably wasn't a foul in the 80's NBA.  But then again, they fought like twice a week, too, lol.

'Pokes need a lot more out of Likekele.

It's not even that level, though. If he had just sort of wimpily put his hand in to block it, he would have never made contact with the arm. Essentially you're saying that you can't violently block a guy, which is shitty. There's a lot of space between letting Bill Laimbeer go full thug on guys in the paint and banning violent blocks. I doubt that'd be a foul in the 2021 NBA playoffs - probably regular season though.

Player of the Year better have a great second half. Everyone knows he only plays one half a game.

that player of the year has been about 0 for 3 since I started watching.

Looked like a foul. That's enough in college

[Homercles 10205]

Yeah I’m about to head to bed.  Ore State can’t miss from 3, and we are getting away from our offense...not gonna stay up until 1130 to watch this mess. 

[Homercles 10205]

Don’t blame Calloo for being on a mission, we dismissed him after he shot up a bunch of cars with a BB gun...so he brought it on himself but obviously pissed about it.

You have Cade Cunningham. Have some faith.

Not when he only shows up in the second half and it may be a 20 point hole at half time.  And can’t make FTs. 
 

You’re right ain’t over yet but they are playing out of their mind, hats off to them.

[pops 6974]

Clock at 20 and they call 10. Geezus. 

[pops 6974]

I think any beaver would take 14 at half.

Oh yeah dude.  They’re playing spirited, taking charges, out of their minds from behind the arc (almost always the magic sauce in March), and massive effort on the boards.  

['stache 21774]

This is exactly like our last tourney game against Michigan. They literally cannot miss. Add to it that we can’t hit the broad side of a barn. I’m not giving up hope just yet, but this sucks shit. Year of the fucking upset.

He’s ice fucking cold. No explanation. The higher seeds are playing like shit all weekend it seems.

[dcar00 14035]

back in it.

[Braff Zacklin 13420]

Cade starting to find his range. Beav's 14-point halftime lead has been cut in half in little more than five minutes.

Rebounding is what really killing the 'Pokes. Oregon State is doubling them up on the boards, 35 overall to 18, and 10 offensive to 5.

But just as I type this, Okie Lite trims the deficit to 5.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Wow, how do you blow that turnover?

[Braff Zacklin 13420]

Likekele is having the derpiest of games. Zero points, four boards, and three turnovers. Ramey-esque.

[pops 6974]

Beavs fading fast. Think the pokes pull this one out. 

[Machinator 32097]

Like I said, the Pokes have Cade Cunningham.

[Dr. Teeth 5832]

Best 2nd half player in the country. 

[pops 6974]

Beavs hanging. Barely

[Dr. Teeth 5832]

Okis State is taking some terrible shots.

If only they had the best 2nd half player in the country.

[CurlyDumps 4440]

The great Mike Boynton, everyone!

[Ghost of Shag 2582]

OSU can’t hit a shot.

[Homercles 10205]

Ran outta gas and missing FTs.  Was there for the taking.  

[Stringer 1437]

Christ, this is the perfect example of a “ref show” game. Brutal.

[Braff Zacklin 13420]

'Pokes are just chucking it at the rim. Terrible.

[Homercles 10205]

Oh and settling for 3’s.  

[Machinator 32097]

Layups, layups, layups.

[CurlyDumps 4440]

Boynton about to join the exclusive club of coaches who couldn’t make the sweet 16 with a top 1 (or 2) pick.
 

Say hi to Rick for me!

[pops 6974]

Holy shit. Can't believe the beavs actually have a chance. They will probably still lose but fuck. Tinkle is a good friend. Full disclosure.

Anyways, so the B12 was in reality Baylor and a bunch of 5 and 6 seeds.

Looks like Oklahoma State ran out of gas. Lots of missed bunnies and FTs.

[clapclapclap 9000]

Holy hell, if you are going to foul, don't let him score.

[Dr. Teeth 5832]

Cade is getting blocked a lot. 

[BigOrange1 6422]

wow!

[HtownHorn 14488]

What a great foul to leave the game. Boyton is a Smart coach.

[Braff Zacklin 13420]

Let's go, Pokes!

[TexArcher 37519]

This game's getting good!

[staboner 4959]

terrible inbounds play by the beavers shesh
