2021 NCAA Tournament - Meta thread

[ztejas 43266]

Guys, look on the brightside. This should help Shaka get fired. Texas lost to literally one of the 5-6 worst teams in the tournament. 

[Rimbo 25783]

gee. it's almost like you can prepare for an opponent and neutralize their strong points. what a concept. someone tell Shaka about this new found technique

Yep. I specifically remember Steve Smith talking about the intense defense they play while a replay was rolling underneath his analysis and the ACU player was literally hand-fighting Ramey as he dribbled up the court. 

"Press Virginia!".  its good to have marketing.  we could have with havoc but Shaka wanted to be a "real" coach.  after a year of everyone on TV saying what incredible pressure D Texas plays we would be getting away with that shit as well.  Officials are human, they know who is known for pressure D and they let them get away with shit passive teams won't.  Tech is another example.

UCLA going full Texas and dribbling the air out of the ball.

[Surly Bevo 24696]

Maybe stop playing fire up the 3 Shakaball UCLA....

[Rimbo 25783]

... in fact UCLA is pounding ACU in every turnover statistic

Texas is getting plenty of free press ... that scab ain’t healing soon.

Maybe Sark should congratulate them!

What’s really embarrassing is we lost to a team whose players on the sidelines do choreographed cheers like women’s softball ...

[Catdaddyhorn 3444]

Getting a chance to make a charge call for a college basketball ref is like a high flying athlete getting an open court breakaway. You just know he's gonna show all out when the opportunity presents itself.

Yep, neither of those were offensive fouls

[BradInATX 9208]

Look at that fat bastard #3. The fact that we lost to a team where that guy gets real minutes should eliminate all questions of whether or not we should fire our coach.

The problem is Texas was doing this all season. Even against teams that didn't press like ACU, Texas still was the 99th in TO per game. Our guards are just awful at almost every skill a guard in basketball needs to have to be consistently average.

If I was the new coach, I would recruit players over Jones and Ramey and explain to them neither are getting PT next year.

Was there any doubt!?!? They had to have 4 or 5 different instances in the game saturday where they went 3 to 4 minutes without scoring against us. Shit they didn't score a single FG in the last 3 or 4 minutes of the game. I said it another thread. Their win over us this weekend has the be the single worst performance by an underdog that managed an upset win in my nearly 40 years of watching the tournament.

I want UCLA to beat the shit out of ACU simply for the dumb benchwarmer they kept showing in our game on Saturday.

That dude looks like he went to Brock high school

[Sbbruin 21737]

Turns out if you go strong to the hole against a smaller team, good things can happen.

[CurlyDumps 4439]

Pour it on. Expose the fucking fraud even more.

[Js1 85110]

They are doing a great job eviscerating Shaka in this game. 

UCLA “patient and methodological”

Thats def not us. Dribble, dribble, panic, turnover or desperate 3

[dcar00 14035]

this is fucking hilarious.  Can I get me some Motown Horn up in here?!

[Machinator 32097]

 

[LTtxfan 48979]

Announcers just killing Shaka right now with comparison of how patient and well prepared UCLA's gameplan against ACU is versus what TEXAS did.

UCLA up by 22pts in the 2nd half... 

HaHaHaHaHaHa  😂😂😂

Nah.  Just think of what UCLA would have done to us.

How did you learn so much about basketball, and would you be interested in running a chronically underachieving program in central Texas?

[Newdoc 3433]

I’m sending UCLA a thank you cookie.

Hey CDC, $3+ million a year for a guy who couldn’t prepare for the consolation bracket winners from the intramural 6’ and under league.

[Pancho 44480]

UCLA only has 6 turnovers right now.

[alphahorn 1637]

Just checking in, is Shaka still employed?

[Sbbruin 21737]

PAC looking to be 8-0 after this game.

[Juke_Em 47]

The Shaka apologists have to be sick right now..."Just more bad luck for him, not fair!"

[A’Dam Psycho 1469]

This game is pissing me off more than our game. CDC should fire Shaka tonight! Fuck this shit

I’m impressed. I heard nothing about them all year. I’d be happy to see USC take out KU too.

ACU is worse than at least 3 of the 15 seeds.  I didn’t watch any of the 1 vs. 16 games, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the 16 seeds were better teams than ACU, too.   They are tiny and have nobody who can score - not exactly a great recipe for building a basketball team.  

TSU would've gotten them by double digits. 

[ztejas 43266]

At least UNT lost to a program that's been a powerhouse as of late. ACU is playing a kind of middling, 11th seeded UCLA team that may or may not be for real.

[Beau Vine 54003]

LSU-Michigan just started, but I don't know how long I can take listening to Steve Lappas.

[Agent 13 314]

How much money does this mean for the PAC?

Makes me throw up in my mouth a little, but me too.  Would be Oregon v SC in the S16.

Enough to cover Larry Scott's per diem until he retires.

[Sbbruin 21737]

Whew!  Had to sweat that one out.

[Beau Vine 54003]

ACU just found out that you can't expect to shoot 29% every game and advance.  

Against this ragtag bunch of midgets and unathletic fucktards, UCLA managed to win rebounding 42-31 and commit 8 turnovers.
